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…

  • 2017-02-19 Sushi Sunday + Stats

    It’s Sushi Sunday again and I had a little of this and a little of that at the Dragon Cafe. I always order too much so that I have some left over for lunches during the week. I went with my friend Josh today who gets all you can eat and so he’s not allowed…

  • 2017-02-17 It’s My Party and I Can Sleep If I Want To

    I put in four solid hours of exercise today with tennis and jazzercise back to back. The 2+ hours of tennis was out in the sun. I also had a fairly mentally challenging work day. All that coupled with the fact that I have been up since 6:08AM, has me in a position to not…

  • 2017-02-16 That’s So Random

    It’s been one week and one day since I saw Matt and gave him the last box of stuff I collected from my house. In the week leading up to that, I had tried to call, email, and text and he had not responded. Then, AFTER I drop the box off, he replies to my…

  • 2017-02-15 The Strangest of Days

    I ran through my entire day today on less than two hours of collective sleep last night. I worked, and walked, and went to my son’s parent teacher conferences. I was highly productive this morning assisting in fixing issues at upwards of 6 customers and finished annual peer reviews on 4 of my co-workers. Throughout…

  • 2017-02-14 This Day Again?

    Sometimes I like to take a walk down memory lane and see just what I had to say on a particular day in the past. I guess it is one of the benefits of keeping a written log of ones life. But on a day like today, I don’t have to, because I know exactly…

  • 2017-02-11 A Fantastic Day

    ..my body was being warmed not only from the outside in, but also from the inside out. This is what happy feels like.

  • 2017-02-10 Intermission

    I want to forget everything that is my life right now and get lost in the moments of this.

  • 2017-02-08 You Can’t Always Get What You Want

    But if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need… OR NOT. I’ve had a cardboard box of stuff packed up for a couple of days now. The box has been sitting on my kitchen table and I’ve had to stare it down at every breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Seeing it…

  • 2017-02-07 Morning Workout Trial Run (or rather.. Jog)

    This morning I tried something new. Since I was working from home, I decided that after I took the kids to school I would go to the gym with the 45 minutes I had between drop-off and getting started on work stuff. In the past I’ve tried to workout before work but it never really..…

  • 2017-02-05 Concrete Goals

    This weekend I walked over 40,000 steps (according to my FitBit) and a great deal of that was outside in the sunshine. It is definitely a winter where the weather is something I can’t complain about. Yesterday I walked the loop around a lake and saw deer, geese, and an Eagle! Quite magnificent. Also contributing…

  • 2017-02-03 Up at 4:30AM Again

    Awake and thinking about everything again. I’ve got this really long, like mini-novel in me about what my last relationship (yeah, the one I don’t have closure on) did to me and is still doing to me daily. It’s lots of backstory that seems to evolve a little bit each time I think about it…
