Hey there!

This stream of consciousness is intended to be an unfiltered account of my journey to fight my way to a healthier, happier life. One day at a time, one step at a time, one organically-grown-emotionally-raw blog post at a time…

  • 2017-08-24 You Mediate Your Way, I’ll Mediate Mine

    Today I tried to sleep more and of course my body and my mind would not have any of that. I gave up trying quickly because I knew it was a lost cause almost as soon as the lights were out and my white noise machine was on. Instead I turned to the next best…

  • 2017-08-24 Tired Thursday

    I had enough sleep, but I still feel tired. We had guests over to the house for dinner last night and then the kids played until about 9:30. I think sometimes stuff like that wears me out. I’m not really keeping track but I think this is about the 5th or 6th time I’ve had…

  • 2017-08-23 What to Do, What to Do?

    At the present moment I am sitting at my desk in my bedroom enjoying the breeze of this beautiful August day and listening to the music coming up on shuffle from my iPhone. Today I have gotten my main cardio work out in, done some house chores, and processed some tomatoes from the garden. I’m…

  • 2017-08-22 Maslow and Climbing the Hierarchy

    I have this blog post I started earlier today at the gym. It’s all super positive and inspired by my goals and meeting goals and celebrating successes. I never finished that post because my time at the gym ended and I needed to finish it at home and then I got to working on other…

  • 2017-08-21 What I Would Do for Totality.. Apparently

    Be up over 36 hours straight. Suffer through a migraine. Suffer through a terrible hotel stay. Have the worst “free” hotel breakfast ever. Hours of waiting (this part wasn’t so bad before the eclipse because we were with friends). Stupid paper glasses (ok, now I’m just being a whiny bitch). Lack of proper nutrition (my…

  • 2017-08-21 The Very Worst Thing Ever

    As predicted after we hit about 2PM yesterday things just went as they went and it was all fine, mostly. Z convinced me to book a hotel in Lincoln at the last minute so we could be closer to our Eclipse destination and NOT have to stay in a tent. They (both kids) threatened mutiny…

  • 2017-08-20 Things You Can’t Control

    My anxiety is high today. As the minutes tick by it is getting worse. Why do I feel this way? I really hate that I get so nervous about things I can’t control. Like the weather for example. So here I am in Omaha, really, really close to the path of full totality for the…

  • 2017-08-19 Satisfying Saturday

    I could talk about the health tests I took yesterday. That was pretty cool, and I want to talk about it but now does not feel like the time. I just got back from an evening bike ride which started at my house and led me into and past downtown Papillion and then west on…

  • 2017-08-18 In the Name of Health

    Today is Friday and this day is JAM PACKED with goodness. It’s not even 6AM but my body has decided that more sleep is just not going to happen. Rather my brain has decided. I drop the kids off to school at 8AM and the first thing I am doing is going to UNO (University…

  • 2017-08-16 Dinner Time – Always a Good Time…

    Just go make your own meal already. OK, this post is pretty much going to be a rant about my daughter. So sorry in advance for the less than stellar parenting that is about to be revealed. Today was the first day of school. She was so tired when she came home that she slept…

  • 2017-08-15 Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

    The kids got back on Sunday night and I got to hear all about their big adventure. Monday we had a pretty balanced day and I just could not help but feel how everything is right with the world again. I know they make me so mad sometimes but having them home is good and…

  • 2017-08-13 Today is Mine

    When I woke this morning at 7:33 after about 7 hours of sleep I said to myself, “Today is going to be my day”. I said it in a nice way, like I was going to hug the day and enjoy every minute of it’s time. Not in a mean sort of ownership way. I’m…
