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…

  • 2017-04-21 Miss SugarCookie.. Live from the Air

    It’s the first time I’ve done the air travel thing since my Mexico trip in January. It doesn’t take long for me to remember how much I dislike it. It’s really just a means to an end. If I had my choice, and more time, I would drive. I don’t like the check in and…
