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…

2017-04-30 It’s All Just Rotten
I probably wrote a couple of weeks ago that Matt had texted me a couple of times. And then we had a phone call on random Tuesday night. The next day is when I wrote “Waking Up Wednesday Wondering Why”. I don’t have to wonder more, now. Because now I’ve narrowed it down. Matt wants…

2017-04-29 Saturday Status Check
I thought I would start today by providing a simple status check, just so it is perfectly clear what the last week has done to me. Sleep: Last 7 days average 4 hours and 49 Minutes. About 2 hours short of my daily goal. 😔 Exercise: 7 day average step count is 9873. About 2K…

2017-04-28 The Great Unraveling
I was going to try to sleep on the plane but my brain had other plans for me. I watched the sunset down into the soft desert hills as we ascended to our cruising altitude. I tried to just focus on the beauty and enjoy it but that was not in the cards either. Instead…

2017-04-28 Phoenix – Day 7, Going Home
I just boarded the plane that is going to take me home. I’ve been in Phoenix for 7 days and I have no idea what this city looks like or has to offer. It’s really a shame. This traveling for work BS is.. well.. BS. Last night we had dinner outside at a place nestled…

2017-04-26 Phoenix – Day 5, And the Beat Goes On
Last night I fell asleep at 9:30 and this morning at about 4. Those doing the time math on that can clearly see that means I had 6.5 hours a sleep. It was absolutely necessary and it was AMAZING. Never in my life did I think I would ever be so excited to have 6…

2017-04-25 Phoenix – Day 4, This Can’t Be Healthy
I know I wrote a little bit before meeting my co-workers in the lobby at 6:45AM this morning to go to breakfast, but I have no idea what I wrote. I know I only slept for 3.5 hours and have been non-stop working for about 48 hours now. Do you know what being tired and…

2017-04-25 Phoenix – What Day is it Again?
Day 3 came and went and I did not have a minute to spare to write about any of it. Now it is day 4 and it is about ready to start all over again. I’m running on 3 hours of sleep and that’s probably not going to sustain me for the whole day today,…

2017-04-23 Phoenix – Day 2, The Working Weekend Continues
Today I woke up at around 7AM, but only had about 4.5 hours of sleep. It was not because I was up late having fun, it was all work related. I think I went to bed after midnight, but must not have fallen asleep for a while, according to my trusty FitBit. This morning I…

2017-04-22 Phoenix – Day 1, Happy Earth Day
I feel like I completely missed Earth day today due to being in Phoenix for work. Not that I would have done anything special anyway, but it would have been nice to hang out in my back yard doing stuff with my gardens. My day was very productive and I feel quite a success seeing…

2017-04-22 Waking Up in Phoenix
I went to bed after 10PM, but it was really after midnight according to my body clock, and I was wiped. Traveling does that. Amazingly I slept until 5:30AM, which is really 7:30. So that’s pretty awesome. I’ll be here for a week for a work project and I’m officially switching to west coast time…

2017-04-22 Continual Contact
After having our phone conversation a few weeks ago there were a couple of email exchanges between Matt and I and then radio silence. I’m the one who decided to break the silence this time.. with a text. I don’t know why I was compelled to do that. I just wanted the contact. Perhaps it’s…
