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…

2019-04-12 Spain Day 5: Tour de Barcelona
I just spent 5 minutes trying to think of a catchy title for this blog post while Jim is cruising Netflix for something good. Nether one of us was successful (yet). I feel like today has been another full day in transit. We had to check out of our upper class hotel and abandon the…

2019-04-11 Spain Day 4 – The Restoration 🇪🇸
Today was a day of restoration. According to google the word restoration has two meanings. One is .. the return of a monarch to a throne, a head of state to government, or a regime to power. (We don’t need to do that here in Spain because they already voted for Pedro and it’s all…

2019-04-09 Spain Day 2: A Valencia Daydream
Sometimes life moves too fast. The sun rises and minutes and hours pass and the experiences you have blur into one another. The sun sets and days pass. You try to recall memories but it begins to feel like a dream and fine details slip away. I think this is one of the reasons we…

2019-04-10 Spain Day 3: Changes of Scenery
This morning we woke up early to catch a glimpse of one of the most widely talked about attractions at this location.. Sunrise on the Mediterranean Sea. I can’t say I was quite as enthusiastic about it as I was yesterday when we discussed it. 6:30 AM with a warm bed tends to change one’s…

2019-06-08 Spain Day 1: All About Valencia
I’m pretty good at taking advice from people. If someone has “been there and done that”, then why not listen and learn instead of floundering and figuring it out for yourself? Last Wednesday I went out to dinner with one of the ladies from my team and she said that whenever they visit a new…

2019-04-07 Spain Day 0: Tour de Tarragona
I could go into a lot of detail about our adventures over the Atlantic, or landing in Barcelona, or renting a car and navigatin south along the scenic Mediteramian coast to our first home away from home in Valencia, but ain’t nobody got time for that. What I really want to cover in this “sesh”…

2019-04-06 Miss SugarCookie – Live from Jersey
We landed at the New Jersey airport about an hour ago and are very like-minded in that we made a bee-line for our departure gate before doing almost anything else. This is by far the most impressive airport I’ve ever been at. I probably look like the biggest nerd-tourist ever taking pictures in the airport.…

2019-04-06 7AM Spaces
It’s 7AM and I’ve got space in my brain ready to be occupied by greatness. I’m just waiting over here for that good shit to start happening. It’s Saturday so of course I’ve been awake for two hours. If there ever was a day my brain was primed for speed and grace, today is that…

2019-04-04 On Life and Fate and Control
It’s been another busy week but I’m finally on the downhill slide.. or should I say I’m still climbing since this week has been all about building up to a big weekend. On Saturday I’ll be hopping on a plane to jet across the Atlantic. That’s a big deal. I haven’t been over the “big…

2010-04-01 April Fool’s Gold
You won’t get any April Fools pranks from this girl. I just don’t have time for that noise. I’d love to be writing about how we saw the cranes yesterday but we didn’t go because life had other plans for us. April Fools Day came a day early for us and if we want to…

2019-03-31 Do What You Want, Not What You Don’t
I’m walking on the treadmill in my new house and my sweetie is working out beside me. He subscribes to amazon music or maybe you get that with A Prime membership and he downloads new stuff and makes these workout playlists. It’s usually turns out pretty good and i get to hear something different than…

2019-03-29 Those are Not My Cats
This morning I woke up in the middle of a dream where I had just realized my cats were standing next to each other and they were not hissing in offense or defense. I was all like “hey, look at that! Do you see that?” And the cats in my dream did not look like…
