37 days post operation. So much has happened between my scheduled TT and today. It was such a whirlwind of health issues that I'm reeling from dizziness, figuratively and literally. Until recently, I'm dealing with elevated blood pressure, difficulty in sleeping, darts of pain on my wound, discomforts on my neck, etc. One time I had chills. The recovery seems so arduous and I'm in the trenches of it. This is my Total Thyroidectomy story. Don't worry, it's not gory. March 14, the day of … [Read more...]
And then…, Cymplified!
2025 begins And then, it's the new year. It's now the year 2025. I drank whiskey, and then it's time for the fireworks. Light rain fell down, while smoke rose up. We arrived at the relative's house, and then, it was time for dinner. Lasagna, fried chicken, sushi rolls filled my disposable plate. In between were conversations, words from a story, and a game of Bingo. And then, the holiday break was over and the children went back to school. They were in denial, even as school tasks piled … [Read more...]
Okay Days, Memories, & a Cymplified Life
I love the "okay" days. It is now two days into the year 2023. And in two days, the children's Christmas break will be over. Already I am missing the in-between days of Christmas and New Year.

I am loving the cool climate and it's okay to throw on a cozy sweater. These days are slow, but still making memories. I wish it's … [Read more...]

Twelve days into the new year 2022... (the time I started penning this, and my husband has the Covid symptoms) and things seem to be still grey and dreary. I'm waiting on the new hope that a fresh year is supposed to bring. The beginning of the year that was 2021 ringed in a glimmer of promise of some sort of normalcy as the vaccines rolled in. After 2020 saw lockdowns when agencies and most people acknowledged the virus. We got jabbed. Early on in 2021, my husband and I got our first … [Read more...]

Chapter January 2020 Lessons, Cymplified!
At the beginning of the first month of the new year, family and friends greet each other with a "happy new year". It turned out, the new year is not so "happy" after all. Thus, we confronted the January 2020 lessons learned the hard way, right away. What happened? January served us the terrible Australian bushfire, the threat of war, some individuals ending their lives. It came with the ashfall from a stirring Taal Volcano, earthquakes and the spread of the Novel Coronavirus that … [Read more...]
Appreciating the Uncomfortable, Cymplified!
We are not put in the world to be comfortable ALL.THE.TIME. How do we go about appreciating the uncomfortable? But, who wants to be uncomfortable, right? I know I don't!
