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…

  • 2017-03-19 I Can’t Escape Myself

    Lot’s of drama and surprises this week and yesterday was another day I found myself trying really hard to hold back tears. It was Saturday and I did not have my kids so I had the whole day to myself to do whatever I wanted. I woke up shortly after 7 and did some writing,…

  • 2017-03-18 Bombs Away, The Barrage Continues

    Another long one here, because there is no other way. Bomb #1 was a doozie. That’s the stuff that lingers and keeps me from getting a good night sleep. As far as I am concerned, that would have been enough for one week, but as I wrote in yesterday’s post, that was just the beginning.…

  • 2017-03-17 Bombs Away

    Oh holy hell where do I begin? I’ve been on the verge of tears all week and had one thing after another pushing me right up to that edge. I don’t think I’ve cried this much since the first week in January. I guess when it rains it pours and some of these things were…

  • 2017-03-16 I Will Survive

    I survived the Ides and it was a pretty good day. I had meet-ups with three people I adore that I don’t get to see very often. Well, I should not say that about Sam – I work with her so I “see” her all the time but things are always so busy for both…

  • 2017-03-15 Beware the Ides of March

    Here it is again.. The Ides of March. I’m not really a superstitious person, but there’s a black cloud that hangs over this day in history and I tend to tread a little more cautiously because of it. According to the almighty wiki: The Ides of March (Latin: Idus Martiae, Late Latin: Idus Martii)[1] is…

  • 2017-03-14 That’s Just Not How it Works

    Not enough sleep again last night. Five and a half hours is not enough to make up for the 2.5 I had the night before. If you put the two together, that’s a descent night’s sleep, but that is not how it works. I was up at 7 again and already working to prep for…

  • 2017-03-13 A Test of My Resolve

    Yesterday I wrote about giving up Caffeine. I think it was actually the middle of the week last week when I made that decision and had my last sip of sweet french vanilla latte. I did have a couple of days with a slight headache and sort of powered through that. I have not had…

  • 2017-03-12 Sayonara Caffeine

    I’ll be the first to admit that this past week I’ve pretty much been off the wagon when it comes to most things, especially my eating habits. The last two days, I’ve very much indulged in just about everything I decided I wanted, from ice cream, to cookies, to cupcakes, to candy. You name a…

  • 2017-03-11 Conundrums and Chaos

    Where to start now? Well.. at the present moment I’m sitting in Flagship Commons and have about an hour and fifteen minutes to kill before the hoard of 15 year old girls I’m hosting today comes back around. It’s a mall scavenger hunt. Apparently that’s a thing. There is too much going on here. Is…

  • 2017-03-10 Back to Reality

    I’ve been thinking about this for days. Thinking and not writing. The road trip I took to Saint Louis feels like a million miles in the past now and it has been such a long week. When I got home, it was like switching gears so fast back to my regular world and so much…

  • 2017-03-07 For My Birthday Girl

    Such a long full couple of days. So much I want to say. Too much. I’m walking the treadmill at the gym right now and my mind is racing and my heart is swollen with feelings. I’m trying to walk off the meal I had for dinner because I ate entirely too much. We were…

  • 2017-03-05 Saint Louis – Day 4, The Trainwreck Cheeseburger.. 2.5

    When I was going through my difficult time last year, the phrase I used to describe it was “trainwrecked”. It worked in lots of different ways. I was “trainwrecked”. I was in “trainwreck” mode or sometimes I was actively in a state of “trainwrecking”. I guess you could say that was trying to make light…
