Moving back to Wordpress
I will be moving http://imisty.com back to a hosted Wordpress domain, using Dreamhost. I don’t find myself using the community aspect of Tumblr, and I do feel a certain ownership for all of the content I’ve generated since I began blogging in 2000. I’m not sure when the DNS changes will take effect, but even after they do, this blog will still be accessible via...
Learning French
Andrew is going to Germany to work for three months. While he’s gone, I have decided to try again to learn French. I’ve taken French courses before. I audited a semester in uni but didn’t work at it much. Then when we lived in California, I took a year of French at De Anza College.

Another reason is that I’m really not using the community aspects of Flickr the way I used to.

Post-hysterectomy wellbeing log
Physically, the recovery from the hysterectomy has been trivial, since it was done laparoscopically.
The emotional problems have not been the ones I expected. I haven’t felt additional loss relating to my fertility, besides what I felt before the surgery. I just feel a bit like I’m on an emotional see-saw at times. I’m sure it has to do with the levels of the hormones.
