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…

    2021-02-14 Abbreviated Sunday Status

    It’s Valentine’s Day again and just because I’m married now and with a wonderful person doesn’t change a thing about the way I feel about this fake-ass holiday. I’ve historically taken this day as an opportunity to rant about that. But I’m more mature now and past ranting about the ridiculousness of a holiday dedicated…

    2021-02-13 The Meaning of Life and Other Trivial Musings and Observations

    Now I’ve gone and done it. It took a very long time and lots of analysis and countless experiments but I’ve finally definitively answered the ultimate question.. which, of course, is.. “what is the meaning of life.” The answer is now crystal clear and It was quite simple actually. As soon as this post goes…

  • 2021-02-12 Left Brain Digital Hoarder

    2021-02-12 Left Brain Digital Hoarder

    Being “stranded” at home yesterday was good. I felt like I was really productive and balanced my time well between chores, GLR work, and the other selfish activity I had on my to-do list which was archiving content from my laptop on my external hard drive and reorganizing the drive.  I started with my music…

    2021-02-11 A Quick Trip on the Memory Train

    I’m walking. I’m walking. I’ve got nothing today. A full set list of stuff to get done today while I’m stranded at home. Jeep won’t start again and is parked at Jim’s office. He took my car to work today.  It’s ok because it’s the first day of my period (cuz I know you wanted…

    2021-02-10 The Mirror I’m Looking at is Also a Revolving Door

    I suppose I’ve been past due for another “In the Mirror” moment. By now, with the reliable repeat, I guess it’s always just a matter of time until it happens again.  I’m talking about the moment I step on my treadmill and look at myself in the mirror (figuratively and literally as the treadmill faces…

    2021-02-09 Random Tuesday Musings

    Most of the mischief I had planned for yesterday was managed. Wonder of wonders, what needs doing gets done.  Right now it’s 5:28AM and I’m walking on my treadmill and thinking about the day ahead.  I also just applied a clear topcoat to my fingernails to protect the polish I brushed on last night. If…

  • 2021-02-08 Why Was I Looking Forward to Monday?

    2021-02-08 Why Was I Looking Forward to Monday?

    It’s Monday and I’ve got my plans. I’ve got every single day of my week loaded up with to-do items. As this day begins, I’m evaluating all of it and (as I start adding more that’s already beaming like neon sign with priority) I think to myself how much of a miracle it will be…

  • 2021-02-07 Wrapping One Week and Planning the Next

    2021-02-07 Wrapping One Week and Planning the Next

    I’ve just spent the past 30 minutes reconciling my week, doing accounting for my stats, and planning the week to come. With that, I feel caught up, in a way, and somewhat ready for Monday.  It also helps release me to just enjoy the day today and hopefully get to relax some. Yesterday I waffled…

    2021-02-06 What’s Got My Brain in a Bunch on a Saturday?

    Spoiler alert. This post is a rant about social media. These are my opinions and I’m entitled to them. And I reserve the right to be flawed and change my mind. I’m only human and this could all just be coming from that special place in my brain that I get access to when I’m…

    2021-02-05 This One Time at Band Camp…

    JK.. I never went to band camp.  I did go to cheer camp like 4 times though. Sadly there are zero juicy stories from that. All I have to show for my four years of cheerleading in high school are a bunch of pictures of all my bad hair days, nightmares about perpetually being excluded…

  • 2021-02-05 Where’s Monday When You Need It?

    2021-02-05 Where’s Monday When You Need It?

    After having slept for only 4 hours the previous night, I could not stay awake past 9pm last night. My sleep was unfortunately once again riddled with tossing and turning and congestion. At 4:30 this AM I gave up and got up (again). Sound familiar? Despite that nonsense, I was in good spirits and looking…

  • 2021-02-04 A Good Day to Start (Again)

    2021-02-04 A Good Day to Start (Again)

    The update to yesterday’s “to be continued” question was answered last night at 9pm after 4 hours of discussion about the GLR lit mag (and after not having eaten a meal all day).  In short, I didn’t care what it was.. I had to eat and ASAP so those left-over enchiladas were the best option.…
