Yes, after writing such a positive post about all the things I’ve been doing lately, I’ve spent the last two days in bed.
Oh my aching ear! image courtesy of dreamtime.com
I have an ear infections, AGAIN! At least I’m pretty darn sure I do. The left ear, the one that I recently had surgery on, started draining more (it has been draining since surgery, this is normal, but it was clear and getting to be less and less. It drains out of my ear because I have a tube in that ear.) It started hurting, and the consistency of the stuff draining out looks like puss. I’ve been running a low-grade fever, mostly at night. And I feel very icky!! Ugh! So the world is very off-balance.
Please, don’t think ill of me, but I have about half a bottle of the Cipro Ear Drops my doc gave me last time, so I am treating myself. (I would normally never do this, but I’ve had so many ear infections, I pretty much know that’s what it is. I know…I’m recovering from surgery and should get it checked, if it’s not better Dr. Kaylie will see it on the 30th.) I just didn’t want to deal with making an appointment, and going to Duke, ect ….ect….just days before I have to go in for blood tests, an MRI, and visit Dr. Kaylie. Also, I didn’t want to suffer all weekend when I could get the medicine started.
Yesterday and today have been a bit rough. I feel like a human gyroscope. My head feels like my brain is lose and moving around. I was sitting on the toilet last night and the tile on the floor wouldn’t keep still. They kept going round and round in a clockwise spin. Ahhhh! I hate this, but at least I’m not throwing up for hours on end.
The weather has also changed, so that is a contributing factor and I’m fighting migraines. To top it all off, I’m just about to start my period. That always throws a wrench in things. Not a happy girl right now, but I know it will get better, so hope is always on the horizon.
Does anyone else have a really hard time going to sleep because of spinning? Even when I’m not feeling off, when I close my eyes and try to go to sleep I will start to feel like I’m moving. I jerk, and have to calm myself. Over an over…I’m actually afraid to try to sleep now. Many nights, I don’t get to sleep until absolute exhaustion overcomes me. Normally between 3am and 6am. Last night was a 6am day.
However, another obstacle to my sleep is pain. Headaches, muscle aches, hips…ect. It’s all worse now that the weather is colder and it’s raining. But I can’t live on pain pills. What to do, what to do? We know sleep aids just don’t work for me….I’d really like a good nights sleep, preferably on a regular basis. Exercise would probably help, but that’s just not possible right now.
Whew…a lot of whining today huh?
Don’t worry, this is just a little bump in the road, one step at a time, one day at a time….the sun is right over the horizon…I can feel it…and know I’ll be back to my normal positive self in no time.
**Please note, I have been reading all my friend’s blog entries, thanks to my new phone, I can read your blog entries anywhere. I really need to acknowledge a couple of posts here, but I haven’t been feeling up to par, and simply haven’t been on the computer as much. I’ll try to catch up on everything soon. But I may miss commenting, please don’t be offended. I’m still reading, and thinking of each and every one of you.
I’ve had some good days recently, unfortunately today isn’t one. I woke up with a migraine today that has left me feeling icky. Meds worked but left me feeling a bit off….then headache returned. It’s minor right now, waiting to see if I need more meds.
On to the Good Days!
This photo is not enhanced. The sky really was that blue!
Remember when I said, I was going to take advantage of every good day and live it to the fullest? Well, I’m keeping my promise. Now, what one might call living life to the fullest, and what I call it, may be vastly different things. Just remember for about 6 months I was barely able to get out of bed, so the small things mean the world to me!
Has a wonderful day earlier this week, just enjoying the unseasonable warm weather. As you can see from the photo above, taken from our back yard, it was a beautiful day with a bright blue sky. This color sky is unusual for our neck of the woods, I haven’t seen a sky this blue since moving from California.
On Wednesday had my eyes examined, and have new glasses on the way! Afterward, I didn’t want to go home, so Stuart and I went to the mall. Just window shopping really. He wanted to try on some shoes he was interested in to decide if he really wanted them. He loved them! So, surprise! I ordered them for his birthday. Of course, they arrived today, and I couldn’t wait to give them to him…so he got his birthday present early! (his birthday is February 6th, shh, don’t tell him, but I have another surprise planned.) He’s so thrilled with his shoes, he’s been wearing them ever since he opened the package.
We walked all around the mall and had a nice afternoon together. That night, I was in much pain. My hips and lower back…oh my goodness. I took a hot bath with Epsom Salts, and felt better, but still had a hard time sleeping.
I’ve been in the kitchen quite a bit this week. You all know how much I love that! I have a lot of things to add to Wendy Cooks! We bought some plain ground pork and I made Italian Sausage without onion or garlic! I cooked that with potatoes, and kale. What a nice dinner. The next day I made Sticky Pork Chops. Served those with roasted green beans and rice. Stuart’s feeling spoiled. He’s so happy I’m cooking again. We also made a big pot of chicken stock. (Stuart actually got this one going.)
This is Sandy and Max while we were traveling across country. See how well they do in the car together?
Yesterday we took the furry babies to the vet. Sandy really just came along for the ride. She did have a pedicure, but the main reason she was there was to calm Max. It’s so funny, Max really loves his dog. If we take him to the vet, he does so much better if Sandy is with him. Max got his annual check-up and shots. Our vet is so in love with our pets. Sandy is referred to as the “Wonder Dog!” If you read my blog regularly you probably know this, but Sandy is 19 years old, she has bladder cancer, cataracts have taken most of her vision, and she’s very hard of hearing. In July of 2010 we were told she had probably 3 months to live, but she may last up to a year. Well, she’s still going strong! Still runs and plays…she acts like a dog less than half her age! Our pets also have very good temperaments. They don’t fight the vet, as long as they are together, and mommy is near they have no troubles.
Last night I had a challenge. We took a friend out to dinner who is moving away for a new job. She wanted steak, so we went to the Texas Roadhouse. If any of you have ever been to a Texas Roadhouse, you know how noisy it can be. Normally they seat us in a booth with a very tall back, it’s much easier for me to hear if there is no noise behind me. This time, we sat in a booth with a low back. It was a challenge for me to hear. Stuart sat to my right, on my hearing aid side. Our friend sat across from me. Luckily, she has a voice I hear pretty well, and she remembers to look at me and speak clearly (most of the time). I think I only had to ask her to repeat something 3 times. Yay! Stuart on the other hand, I could barely hear. It’s amazing how much I depend on lip reading (they call it speech reading now, I don’t know why). We stayed at the restaurant for nearly 3 hours. So,I feel I passed this challenge fairly well. I was so excited! But I know it would not have gone as well with more people, or with someone who has a voice with a frequency I can’t hear well. (I’ll take the victory though! Eating out with a friend, something I haven’t done in a VERY long time.)
Unfortunately, the GI stuff hasn’t gotten better. Looking forward to find out what the dietitian has to say about getting the Fructose Malabsorption under control. I’ll be seeing her Wednesday of next week.
Whew, today is a bit of a rough one. My head hurts. Think I need to get off of the computer and take some more pills. I planed on making Spaghetti tonight with the rest of the Italian sausage. We may have left overs instead. Unless I can talked my dear hubby into making the spaghetti. It’s times like these I wish I could just eat sauce from a jar, but alas, it’s not to be. Plus, homemade is so much better!
As I’ve mentioned before, I haven’t had the greatest sleep schedule, or sleep at all really. So my doctor put me on Rozerem. Rozerem is a sleep aid, but it isn’t addictive, and can take up to a week for full effects. 4% of the patients had increased dizziness compared to 3% who took the placebo. So a good choice for me, right? Umm, not so much. It was prescribed before my surgery and each time I took it I woke up with vertigo.
Rozerem Ad
Last night I decided to give it a try again, thinking possibly it would be different now since things have calmed down so much.
Yes, I should have known better. I woke up, not with vertigo exactly, but the world is not being still! I’m using the walker to get to the bathroom and every time I move my head to either side I feel like I’m going to barf. I have acid reflux so bad, it hurts all the way down my esophagus and into my stomach. Neither my prescription acid medication nor Maalox is working. And the diarrhea is back. (yes I had one day of normality, yesterday, I’ve not eaten any vegetables, except a pickle and a piece of lettuce on my burger yesterday, for 3 days. The burgers I made, so I know they were safe. I think most of the diarrhea today is because of the spinny head. It does put me in the fight or flight mode, constantly expecting a full-blown attack.
I got the book Food Intolerance Management Plan by Sue Shepherd yesterday. It has the most up to date information about Fructose Malabsorption and other food intolerances. Sue Shepherd is considered THE expert in Fructose Malabsorption (FructMal). So I looked at the book, from cover to cover yesterday. I just knew I’d find something I’ve been doing wrong. Nope. I’ve been eating all safe foods. This book gives a lot more variety than I’ve been eating, and says I can eat much larger servings than I have been. So why is it that every time I eat a vegetable, I get sick? Ugh! I’m working on it. That’s my big goal this year, find out how to stop this GI trouble! Then I’ll think about losing weight.
So enough about my bad day. (we all know, it’s just a day, one day at a time right?)
Did you see the last part…Wikipedia will join the Blackout!!! (Don’t forget the Blackout is the 18th, so you may be on line and not be able to find many of your favorite spots.)
If Google would join, that would make all the difference. Could you imagine a day without Google? Even just shutting down their search engine would make a huge statement. But alas, I doubt they will.
However, it also looks like WordPress has joined the strike, so my blog may not show up anyway. Neither would any other blog on WordPress.
On a different soap box….Don’t forget to PLEASE sign the petition about Headache Disorders – The Petition is Here.
Now, I’m going to take a nap, and hope my head is less wonky when I get up!
Please look over the following flyer and take a moment to sign the petition that urges Congressional hearings on the impact of migraine and headache disorders.
If everyone who has chronic headaches, or knows a friend or loved who does, would take a moment to sign this petition, I dare to say that would include nearly everyone in the United States.
Everyone reading this post knows at least one person who has chronic migraines…ME!
Won’t you please take just a moment and sign this petition, and if you could, would you please ask everyone you know to sign. This could change many lives!!
On Jan 18th, sites will go dark to protest the internet censorship bills. Urge the biggest sites to join the strike: Sign the Petition. (I suggest we ask Google and Wikipedia to join the strike)
On Jan 24th, Congress will vote to pass internet censorship in the Senate, even though the vast majority of Americans are opposed. We need to kill the bill – PIPA in the Senate and SOPA in the House – to protect our rights to free speech, privacy, and prosperity. We need internet companies to follow Reddit’s lead and stand up for the web, as we internet users are doing every day.
for one day I will make this blog private, so no one can see it.
Please join protest against PIPA (Protect the IP Act) and SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act).
I do not want the government to have the power to block websites!
What shall I start with… How about the GREAT NEWS!
Stuart accepted a job yesterday. He had two companies make offers and it was hard to choose between them, but he chose the job that allows him to telecommute. I believe his title is Senior Software Engineer at MEDSEEK. (he’s been working with the medical industry for a long time and enjoys it. Hopefully, he will be very happy in this new position.) We’re excited! He starts on the 23rd.
Also good news, Stuart’s sister had her second child today….well technically yesterday. He will be sharing the same birthday as my sister. (I hope that doesn’t jinx him, at least I’ll never forget it!) His name is Johnathan David…after his grandfathers. Looking forward to pictures.
I’ve had some good days, today was a pretty decent day. We got out of the house, and went grocery shopping. Yes, I was excited about that! I cooked a great meal a couple of nights ago, and am looking forward to cooking more often.
However, I’ve had some Wonky Slosh Head days too. The 11th…not a good day. It was overcast or raining all day, and my head felt like it was full of goop, and my brain was sloshing around inside of it. For the first time in weeks, I felt I needed help walking.
Today, I had the strangest tinnitus. I always have some sounds, and at times they can get pretty obnoxious and just odd, but this time I could feel it. What comes to mind is the poem, “I heard a Fly Buzz” by Emily Dickinson, luckily I wasn’t dying. However, I could also feel the thing in my ear. The vibration was so annoying…and dang it all…strange. I sincerely hope I do not have that sensation again.
My hearing, is also strange. The ear I had operated on in December had 0% word recognition in November. Now it’s fluctuating, a lot! Sometimes I hear nothing out of that ear, sometimes I can hear Stuart talking when I don’t have my hearing aid in the other ear. And I promise I’m not hearing out of that ear! Speaking of that ear, I think my hearing is dropping and/or simply getting more distorted.
the sign for ASL (American Sign Language) - photo from Lee Clarion University where ASL counts as a Foreign Language Credit
I’m so happy we are starting our ASL classes in 2 weeks. I really need a back-up way to communicate.
I have a question, for those of you with Meniere’s. How many of you were told you would have “burn out”? I learned today, from a hearing loss specialist, that they no longer believe burn out happens. I’m involved in an email group from The Say What Club (SWC), they have a few groups for people who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. I’m a member of the Meniere’s Group. Everyone on there has some pretty profound hearing loss. I’ve found that a few on the board are a bit older than I am. I know one man is 76. No one has experience “burn out”. Only one member has no vertigo any longer, and he had Streptomycin injections, so he had no balance center.
On another note, there are a few on there who have Cochlear Implants, and love them, they say they are they are much clearer than hearing aids! I’m beginning to look forward to the time when I can get one. Then I think, I may just want to embrace the deaf world. I’ve been pretty conflicted. Then I thought, why do I have to choose? I think I’ll probably do a bit of both. If I can get a CI, I probably will. But I want to know ASL and be involved in the deaf community too. You never know when technology may fail.
Coming soon…learn all about a different part of my life. Bipolar I Disorder and Me.
Sorry, Not an actual photo of us, but I'm sure you can feel of the sensation! Whee!
On January 6th, and 7th, we went driving around in my Little Yellow Bug with the top down! That’s right, the convertible was being used with the TOP DOWN, in JANUARY! Woot! Last winter was full of snow, and rain, and ice…and well it was just miserable. Much colder and much more snow than North Carolina normally has. However, if there is one thing I’ve learned about living in the South East, weather is anything but normal.
This winter has been mild so far, just a few freezing days, I think I could count them on one hand. I’m loving it, but it’s odd, even for N.C. We will often have a warm patch in the winter, but this is like Spring. The plants are so confused. My herb garden has new growth, my neighbor’s Irises are coming up, yes, the people and plants alike love this weather, but I’m afraid the plants will suffer greatly when the freezing days arrive again. It looks like it will be cloudy and/or raining for most of the week. I bet it turns cold after that.
I took this photo from our wild flower garden, Fall 2011
I’ve been feeling better than I did before the surgery, some days I feel really good! Like yesterday, it was a good day. We had to do a little shopping, so we put the top down, and took the long way through the country to the store. It was blissful. We came home and I worked in my studio for an hour..maybe two. Earlier in the day I threw some things in the Slow Cooker, so I even made dinner!
I’m still having a lot of GI issues. I can’t figure this fructose thing out I guess. I finally found a book I’ve been told will help me so very much! The book is not available in the U.S. (at least not yet.) It was published in Australia. I started to give up and order it from Australia, but it would have cost me close to $70 with shipping and tax. I just couldn’t do it. Finally I found the book at a used book store on-line, thanks AbeBooks. For less than $45. They only had one copy. I snapped it up! So I should get it in a couple of weeks. I also found a nutritionist who is “well versed” in Fructose Malabsorption and the low FODMAPS diet. Woo Hoo! Finally! I may start seeing her later this month, or early next month. I want to see what the book says first. This running to the bathroom 6-10 times a day is old! I’m really tired of my GI system just refusing to work right. **TMI time…I had a rush moment to the bathroom today, I’d already been 4 times, this one was very loose and black…yes, black. Scared the crap out of me (pun intended) . I thought OMG I’m bleeding internally. Then I remembered I took Pepto Bismol last night, a bit more than I intended to. Please, if you take Pepto, remember it can turn your stools black, and your tongue a funny color too, but I’ve only had that happen once. So don’t let it scare you….like it seems to always catch me off guard.
Today, I have Slosh Head. I feel stuffy, and woozy. I’m nauseous most of the time lately. If I’m eating, the nausea is relieved, but shortly after I eat it returns. ick. But today is worse. The tinnitus is screaming, my hearing is down! (I only heard 3 dings..barely..when I turned my hearing aid on, I normally hear 5…they are different frequencies, so I’m not hearing some of them) The TV sounds tinny, Stuart sounds muffled. I just don’t feel good at all today. I feel like Mr. Meniere’s is battling with Allergy Man and Human Barometer is getting his licks in too! All inside my head..and tummy! Just ick.
**GREAT NEWS** Now the reason I can even consider spending money ….Stuart has been offered a job!
Actually he’s negotiating with TWO companies. One is telecommuting, one is ‘local’. Stuart has asked the recruiter for the ‘local’ job, if they would consider allowing him to telecommute and come in perhaps one day a week. (commuting to and from Raleigh. the next city over, is not fun! Rush hour is horrible, he’d spend at least 3 hours a day in his car…plus the wear and tear on the car, the extra pollution, and parking…ect…it all ads up.) They have until Tuesday to make a decision and an offer, he told the other company he would give them a decision on Wednesday. They both sound like excellent companies, and Stuart enjoyed his interview with both. So, either way, I think he’ll be happy.
He’s been out of work since Halloween. I knew it would be hard to find a job over the holidays, and it was. But he wasn’t idle. He sent out resumes…lot’s of resumes, had interviews, sold things on eBay, cleaned out his office, is preparing to sell the other car….he’s been a busy man…plus taking care of me wasn’t easy right after my surgery. I’m actually grateful he wasn’t working for a while there. Now that the holidays are over, he is in demand! I know it feels good. You can tell he’s feeling good about things.
That’s all for now. I feel like I could just talk and talk. I think I need to write more than I have been lately, shorter posts more often? That may be a good idea!
If I could feel the way I have since New Year’s Eve Eve, December 23rd, minus the migraines, I would be very happy!
Every day for the past….I don’t know how many…days I’ve woken up with a migraine. Most days I can take something, and it ebbs enough that I can do something, often I have to take something numerous times a day, but at least it has been tolerable after taking the medication. Unfortunately, one of my medications, I can only get 18 a month, so if I have to take 2 a day to help with the headaches they won’t last very long. My doctor said we need to wait 3 months after surgery to start trying new treatments for the migraines. We need to see what this will do first. One month down! Just two more to go! (this is the first day since the 30th, that I have spent the day in bed. My head hasn’t eased up much today, for a little bit here and there…like now..but most of the day I’ve spent in darkness with a warm hat on my head (I found this helps, I don’t know why), trying to sleep as much as possible.)
New Year’s Eve is usually very hard for me. As I’ve mentioned before my mother’s birthday was New Year’s Day, and it hits me hard. I still miss her terribly. This year, Stuart asked a couple if they’d like to join us, hoping it would help me get through the rough time, and make things happier. But I woke up with a migraine from Hell. I couldn’t stand any light, I was nauseous, and I just wanted to scream! So we felt we should cancel early, just in case the pain didn’t subside, giving our friends time to make other plans. Luckily, after much medication, I felt better. My headache wasn’t gone, but it never is, however, it was much better.
I decided to try to work in my studio a bit. Something I haven’t done in months. yay, for milestones! I got part of my mask painted, thank you Judy, I’m thinking about both my inner face and outer face while working on it. (if you’d like to know more about this please visit Judy’s blog, Creativity to the Max.)
We decided to have a special dinner that night, one we didn’t have to cook. So when Stuart went to pick our dinner up, I decided to make it very special. I set the table all pretty, and put candles on it. I even got pretty myself. I put on a skirt and nice top, and even makeup! Stuart was VERY surprised! And I have to say, I think that was the best steak I’ve ever had! We haven’t done anything like this in a long time. It was very romantic.
It was still 6 hours until midnight, so we thought we’d start a puzzle. We worked on it for about an hour, then I started to get too sore, and my headache was getting worse. So we headed upstairs, I took some more meds, and we watched a movie. By midnight I was feeling good again, and a bit frisky. (hehehe) We were watching and waiting for the ball to drop, and I started coming on to my husband….one thing led to another, and we rang in the new year with the Big “O”! Yes, it hurt, but it was so worth it! We did elevate my hips a bit, and it helped with the hip pain! Yay. (Milestone number 2!) Now, that helped me emotionally too!
On New Year’s Day it was 65F degrees here. I knew that temperatures like this would not last long, so I had to get out of the house. We needed something from the grocery store, so off we went to Whole Foods. I thought we could get the gluten free bread I like there, but nope. Every time I go to Whole Foods I’m disappointed. We started to go to the store we know has it, but it’s more than a 30 minute drive, and I was hungry and getting tired. We stopped to eat to see if I’d then feel like going, the food was good, but I didn’t feel well afterward. I don’t know what I’ve been getting into lately, but I’ve been having GI symptoms a lot!
We were both tired, and I wasn’t feeling great, so our New Year’s meal would have to wait. I can’t have Hoppin’ Johns any more any way…(very sad face). I can’t have legumes, and black eyed peas are one of the main ingredients…I really miss beans!
Here come another milestone, I cooked on January 2nd! Stuart helped a little, but I did the main cooking! So excited, I really like to cook, and haven’t been able to in months! I made collard greens (a must in the Southern parts of the US, collard greens represent money, so if you want more money throughout the year, you eat collards, another part of Hoppin’ Johns). But I cooked them a bit differently. I sauteed them with bacon, Mirin Sauce (a sweet rice wine used in Asian cooking), a little Rice Vinegar, and sprinkled with celery seeds. They were very tasty. We planned to have ham, but couldn’t find one that wasn’t way too big, so we cooked up a hot dog for each of us, and I had some left over mashed potatoes. It was actually a pretty darn tasty meal! (before everyone with Meniere’s freaks out about how much salt I ate,the bacon was low salt, and so were the hotdogs, plus I only ate one. However, I’m not sure a low salt diet has helped with my Meniere’s symptoms at all.)
One more good thing happened, but it isn’t finalized yet, so I’m afraid to mention it and jinx it. (It has to do with Stuart…you can probably guess.)
I started to make up a list of things I want to accomplish in 2012, but didn’t get far. I realize I can’t really plan much and just get upset when I can’t accomplish what I plan to. I really, want to lose some of this weight, and be able to exercise some. This I will figure out how to do! Even if I get to be just as sick as I was for the past 6 months, I’m going to figure out how to exercise.
As you see at the top, Stuart took pictures of me on New Year’s Eve, when I saw them I cried. I thought, that can’t be me! This woman is so overweight, and old. I don’t want to feel that way about me. I have to find a way to get my body image self esteem back. The picture I published at the top was the best. There is another that I feel shows every hard thing I’ve been through over the past couple of years. Following you will see a photo of me that was taken just before all of this started happening, and the photo that was taken on New Year’s Eve that I feel, shows the pain I’ve endured. I’m only showing these to show how much I’ve changed in a relatively short period of time.
**I’d like to say, the weight bothers me mostly because of the added health issues. I now have non-alcoholic fatty liver, and very high triglycerides. I will not be able to get control of these until some of the weight comes off and I can exercise. Yes, my body image has taken a bit of a hit, but my husband thinks I’m beautiful, and desirable so that’s a confidence booster. However, the fact that I get out of breath so easily, and have a hard time getting up at times. (the tub is a big challenge.) With my hip issues, added weight is not a good idea.
Wendy Dec. 31st 2011 -(yes, it's a bit out of focus, sorry)Wendy - Late Fall 2009
I was looking at my Stats page, and found some interesting things.
The search term that lead people to my blog most often is, not surprisingly, Meniere’s Disease, but a funny thing…the term “applesauce” or “apple sauce” brought in 61 viewers. Today I had 2 viewers find me when they searched for “funny treehouse” I’m sure these people were disappointed.
I’ve had 14,311 views…with 1,069 published comments which is about half as many Spam comments that were caught and never published. (some of these were hilarious! I should share some one day.)
This will be my 211th post.
It says my busiest day was Oct. 22, 2011 with 110 views. I thought it was funny since, I did not have a new post that day.
This month I had over 1000 more views than I did in February. (that’s a good sign, I guess)
I have 44 followers through WordPress, or email subscribers. (I don’t know how to find out if people are following through something else.) I know some people really strive for more and more readers. I just want readers who will get something from my blog. Learn a bit about certain illnesses, get a little support, perhaps find a friend….that makes blogging worth it for me, not the number of followers I have.
Did you know if you use WordPress – people can RE-POST your Post without your permission!
Wordpress This is a button, that has this logo and the word This behind it...beware of it.
Now about something I found out today that I don’t like. The WordPress This Button. If you have Share buttons at the bottom of your posts so people can share a link to your post on Twitter, ect… Wordpress has added this little button that looks like the WordPress “W” and the word “This” after it. This allows people to Repost your Post on their WordPress blog without your permission. I just had my Dark Days…post reposted on a weightloss blog, does that make any sense? And I have no power to have them remove it. I tried to contact WordPress support but they are closed until the 2nd.
You can change the setting for this on your Dashboard, under Settings – Sharing. I changed it so this button does not appear on my blog any longer.
Would this bother you? Or is it just me?
I have a whole list of things I want to accomplish in 2012 – I’ll probably share them with you tomorrow.
