A Birthday Surprise That Didn’t Go To Plan (but was Still Incredible!)

March 27, 2022 by Hilary

I was really excited for my birthday (March 10th) this year because I’d turn 42! If you’re not a fan of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, 42 is significant in that is the answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything! My husband and I have matching ’42’ tattoos on our ring fingers, with sappy reasons …

December 31, 2021 by Hilary

Like many folks, my 2020 and 2021 have not been ideal. 2020 had started pretty well! I spoke at CodeMash in Ohio in January, then at SWETUGG in Stockholm and EuroTestConf in Amsterdam in February. I had a lovely surprise 40th birthday party with my family in March. And then it all kinda went to …

My 2021 Health Journey Sure Has Been Fun!

August 11, 2021 by Hilary

TL;DR After 6 months of having various medical issues and not knowing why, I was diagnosed with a heart condition (nbd :D) and I have back surgery scheduled for the end of September, with up to a 1 year recovery time. I’ll be online shortly after I’m sure, but won’t be doing any public speaking …

Welcome to the PEG Club!

April 12, 2021 by Hilary

I read an article not long ago about how they think a lot of people having allergic reactions to the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines are allergic to PEG or Polyethylene Glycol. As someone with a known allergy to PEG, I thought I’d share some tips I wish I would have known over 10 years …

Being Prescribed Something I’m Allergic To aka Software Doesn’t Work

October 7, 2019 by Hilary

I should have gotten a colonoscopy today. My dad had colo-rectal cancer, my brother had some pre-cancerous stuff, so I thought it’d behoove me to get checked. But what, you ask, does this have to do with software and testing? Read on, my friend. Read on. About 10 years ago I found out that I’m …

June 2, 2019 by Hilary

Looking back on 2018, looking forward to 2019

January 2, 2019 by Hilary

It’s hard for me to think about 2018 with fondness. It went to shit before the halfway mark, and it’s really hard to think about any positives. But I know a lot of good stuff happened, I just need to take an actual look back rather than getting stuck in the bad shit (which is …
