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…

2017-04-19 Wild Wild Wednesday
It’s been a long day. It’s been a long evening. I sort of feel like today was a success because I was able to balance everything and hit most of my goals but It’s 10:15 PM and I’m wiped, both mentally and physically. I got 20K+ steps at the gym and went to Jazzercise. I…

2017-04-18 Dark and Stormy
Either that’s the weather outside right now or what I should be drinking to dull my animosity… or both. Yesterday I left the office at 4PM tired and frustrated. I had been there since 7 trying to make progress on a project. The VPN connection is so unstable and if it is idle for more…

2017-04-16 Any Given Sunday
It’s Easter, but in my world it’s just another Sunday. Just another Sunday, except today I’m having a hard time getting out of bed because I drank too much last night and did not get enough sleep. I haven’t drank alcohol for a while now and the last time I did, it was like one…

2017-04-13 The VIC Experience.. 4.25
Last night I had dinner at the VI. For those who don’t know, the VI is the Village Inn. It’s an American food chain that is mainly in the midwest states in the United States but does reach as far east as Florida and Virginia and as far west as Oregon and Washington State (not…

2017-04-12 Waking Up Wednesday Wondering Why
I’m so glad Tuesday is over. I’m so glad it’s Wednesday now and I’m waking up and get the chance to start over. Even more than that, I’m glad I had 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep. It was dream-filled sleep, but I’ll take that any night over waking up at 2 or 3 or 4…

2017-04-11 On Music and Memory
Have you ever heard a song at it reminded you of a person or a place or a time in your life? Of course you have, because we are auditory creatures and we associate things we hear with other experiences we are having at the same time. Tonight, when I was getting steps in at…

2017-04-11 Let’s Be Real, Again
Let’s call this one the sequel to the post I wrote last Thursday. That one was inspired by the good vibes I was having just being more real in my work environment and not “sugar coating” so much to make appearances. This one might be the flip side of that, which is to say that…

2017-04-09 A Not So Lazy Sunday
The wind is picking up outside and on my way home from the store I saw sparks of lightning behind the clouds in the sky. It’s late and dark on a Sunday and I’m very ready to call it quits for today. I woke up at 7AM and for the life of me I can’t…

2017-04-06 Let’s Be Real
I’ve had a strange vibe in my soul today. Just wanting to listen to some good music and get my “A” game on. Every time I spin right round baby round, round, though, these fools be interrupting my flow. For real. Let me break it down now. For real, real. This is like the organic…

2017-04-05 Random Hump-Day Update
This morning I feel pretty good about life in general. I’m well rested and ready for a highly productive work day. I fully intend to get a lot done today and am also looking forward to a sister-date I have scheduled tonight with my lovely sister Jamie. I’ve got a lot to catch her up…

2017-04-04 Boredom
It has been a few days since I have written anything. Either I have not had the time or the inclination. I generally feel better about things if I can write through it, but sometimes, it just doesn’t work out to do that. I also feel like a broken record sometimes. Or a broken CD.…
