After quite a lot of thought and inner debate, I’ve quietly come to the decision that I need a fresh start somewhere. While I’ve enjoyed writing all of these years here at The Naked Truth, I realize that just like the blog before it, I have grown from my experience here and changed and am ready displace myself.
I still have things to say — hell, I still have quite a few opinions and heck, a whole new election year is coming. 
However, I’m not feeling the anger I’ve felt in the past in regards to

My brain is way too scattered and full of anxiety to focus on one particular nifty topic this week. So, now you get to see the really true discombobulated, highly anxious me.

- What if the sale on the little red house falls through and I don’t get it?
What if the sale on the little red house doesn’t fall through and I do get it and it turns into a money pit?- What if those nice flippers are taking advantage of me because I’m a naive first time buyer and I don’t know what I’m doing?
- What if my dog is depressed? He’s been lethargic and hasn’t been eating at home, but the doggie daycare folks say he’s hyper and playful there. Maybe he just hates me.

- Happy Conspiracy Day! Friday the 13th — unluckiest day for the Templars ever, I think.
- I’m having my CT Scan (with contrast) of the lung shortly. The machine at the clinic I was supposed to have it in is “down” so they’ve called and asked me to go to the “Big House” (the main hospital) instead.
- It wasn’t so bad without the contrast, but I’m admittedly nervous after all the talk about possibly shutting down my kidneys.
- I wish I’d brought my lorazepam today.
- I wonder if binding my hands and elbows with Ace bandages would help reduce the pain. Ice cold seems to help.
- Pugly wants to chew on the ends of my knitting needles while I’m knitting and the cats want to play with the yarn — finally a hobby we can all participate in.

- Thanks to the change in the weather, everything hurts.
- I can’t even take any alleve, advil or asprin (even if I took asprin) for the inflamation of the finger because of the upcoming kidney biopsy.
- My popup windows are screwed up on my home laptop so that when my “insert a link” window opens for wordpress, it’s less than an inch wide and is not resizeable and I can’t see what I’m typing in the url field.
- Don’t forget to stop by Brony’s 100th post and be one of her 100th commenters.
- I made pizza casserole over the weekend. Yum. I’m still finishing up leftovers thought…the problem with being single…or is it the blessing?
Last weekend I numbed my brain with Memoirs of a Geisha (excellent), Kingdom of Heaven (not so good), X-Men: Last Stand (disappointing), and Domino (eh). Fortunately, Netflix has already delivered the next set of movies.- I also got all caught up on Sci-Fi’s series Eureka, which I will definitely be buying the DVDs for. Very cute series…Northern Exposure meets Area 51.
- There’s been too much talk about Folley in the news as Saturday night I dreamt I was trying to stop a child predator in a grocery store and a mother wouldn’t heed my warning, but when her kid got molested she was angry at me for not stopping it.
- I know I haven’t been discussing the world’s problems as much on here lately. I’ve still be following them…but with my own health crisis, Pugly’s kennel cough, and my recent troubles with friends, I just want to write about other things for a bit.
- In fact, if anyone is interested in starting some sort of coffee club, knitting coven, or just getting-together-to-get-away-from-stuff club in the Portland, ME area…let me know.
- I’m really starting to dig knitting. I’m wondering where everyone buys their supplies online and what the best needles are and what sort of gadgets I should be buying.
- I finally got everything sorted with my Amazon Rewards Credit Card. I got all of the gift certificates they owed me since February…I just spent $225…it’s going to be like an early Christmas next week. I bought lots of little stuff — movies, cookbooks, and books rather than one or two big things. I need to go clean off my Amazon wish list now, I guess.

So O.K. Just some discombobulated thoughts having to do with my family.
- Talking to my mom Wednesday night about the surgeon and the Rheumy, she pops out with “You know your grandmother had Sjögren’s.”
Well, no…I don’t recall that. Now, I’ve talked before about how trying to get a family medical history out of my mother has been like pulling teeth out of a mule and how she always mentions these sorts of things after I’ve talked to a doctor about about them; though generally it’s several weeks or months later; so this is an improvement. However, in this case, I kind

Well, I’m not.
Earlier in the week, I was very, very ill. Fortunately I see the post ahead feature for “Quote of the Day” was working just fine. I believe that the illness was triggered by that nasty weather that New England got with all the rain and the flooding. It triggered some migraines and some nasty stomach issues for me.
Then after that I’ve just been busy with trying to speedily develop a nifty new interface for that project I thought was done and trying also trying to catch up at home. My house looks like

I think Pugly is part Tasmanian Devil. I would like to know how to get him to stop trying to chew and rip up my blanket, my clothes, my plastic bags, my bathmat and everything else. I also found puppy teeth marks on my laptop cord, which I have now treated with a bitter spray. We’ll see how that works. I also want him to stop nipping at and chewing on me. “No!” and “Ow!” don’t appear to work.
I ordered a lime green pet carrier from 
I hope it arrives today because tomorrow he’s going with me to visit the gals at the beauty parlor/spa while I get my hair done and I know he doesn’t like his regular carrier. (I also ordered him an exercise pen for outside since I don’t have a yard.)
