rheumatoid

i had 2 likely ear infections the other week.  when i went to the doctor, he didn't see infection, but when i went for my work physical, the nurse said it looked pretty infecty.  and that was when the grossest pain in the world was finally winding down.

it was the grossest pain that would keep me awake at night.  it was the grossest pain that would trick me into thinking it was going away in the mornings, yet get worse and worse throughout the day, until it would keep me awake at night again.

anyways.  i thought of a funny.

you know rheumatoid arthritis?  well, if i remember right, one of the main symptoms is that it gets worse throughout the day.

as i was laying in bed awake one night, due to my stupid stupid ears, i thought, maybe i have rheumatoid….EARthritis!  and then i laughed by myself for an hour until i fell asleep.

artsy

sometimes i try to take artsy photos.  as you know.

eda makes this very difficult.

in a nutshell

a few things happened in january.  i was so busy doing nothing (except cooking and working out and applying for jobs) that i had no time whatsoever to make any blogs.  so here is what happened, so you don't feel like you missed anything:

i ate some salad.

i made the most beautiful pie of my life.

i ran on mikah's trails in the afternoon.

i selfied.

we made furniture out of the packing foam that came with all our great valentine's gifts.

we hiked some volcanoes, and got lost, but then found our way.

i redecorated with some things i found.

oni was bad so i had to hide my computer from her.

i went to the park a lot.  there is a nice trail there, and also some nice trees.
