Miss SugarCookie

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…

  • 2019-02-04 Monday Routine Musings

    Welcome to the new morning routine. It’s just hit 8AM and I’ve already been up since about 6:15. So far I’ve finished laundry, gotten my kids to school (new commute is about 25 minutes), and hit the gym. That’s where I am at now on my favorite elliptical machine. If I hit a descent pace,…

  • 2019-02-03 Super Sunday Sushiless Recap 🏈🏈🏈-🍣

    First commercial – Avengers: Awesome!! 🍿 All the hype about the Patriots running the first quarter the last two games and that’s immediately squashed by the Rams getting the interception. 🏈 M and M’s with Christina Applegate Spiked Seltzer, meh Handmaid’s Tale. That’s one to watch (or Read) 📺 Another commercial – with one of…

  • 2019-02-02 Context and Cheers to Future Anniversaries

    Ok.. when I said I felt like a broken record about wanting to slow life down, I meant it. At the time, however, I didn’t offer a ton of context. I mean, every post about every single little thing that happens IS context but I’ve barely had enough time too keep up with even that.…

  • 2019-02-01 Life on Hold

    Sometimes, often times actually, I’m a broken record about how there is not enough time. Not enough time to get everything that needs doing done and not enough time to sleep. There’s not enough time in the day to support our relationships and families and work and workout and also do the things we like…

  • 2019-01-31 House for Sale

    Today I tried to get back to a more normal routine but it was not in the cards. I woke early worrying about the work I have piling up and could not get back to sleep. I eventually caved and went to my new office (at 6AM) and did about an hour’s worth before feeling…

  • 2019-01-30 Holy Radio Silence Batman!

    Is it? Could it possibly be? Am I finally getting to workout and write a few words about the SugarCookie life??!! … YES Here’s the short story after enduring the most extensive stint of “blog silence” in my two years of blogging. One week ago I was preparing for the big move and now it’s…

  • 2019-01-23 Just Another Day

    It’s just another Wednesday, just another snow day for my kids (6 days off in a row now), and another day of packing. Yesterday I took on most of the basement and while I was doing that I was really struggling but now that I’m “done” it feels good. I put done in quotes because…

  • 2019-01-22 The Beast in the Basement

    Despite the phone ringing at 5:45 AM, I’m in pretty good spirits. Despite having cycle day 2 cramps and bloating, I’m energized and ready to start the day. Despite the pending snowstorm and the fact that there could not be a worse Nebraska winter week to move, I’m motivated to get rolling. Yeah, school was…

  • 2019-01-20 T-Minus Six Days Sunday Status

    Yeah, it’s Sunday again and I’m checking my stats. I’ve got new goals as of the past couple weeks and while I am dialing things back a bit and trying not to focus on the details too much, it’s still good to keep a finger on the pulse. Sleep.. 6 hours and 59 minutes per…

  • 2019-01-18 Something New

    This is cool.. a group of ladies from my MFA program have formed a writing group. They meet every Thursday evening and write in 30 minute sprints with breaks in between to chat. It’s for accountability and camaraderie and, aside from the fact that by 8pm my brain is completely done for the day, it’s…

  • 2019-01-17 Now it’s Really Real

    It’s not just real now people, things are getting really real! “Really real” is like real but with an epiphany exclamation point that might knock you back if you are not careful. It’s 8 days until my move and yesterday I brought a car load of personal stuff including my kitten and all the extra…

  • 2019-01-16 Mystery Solved – The 2 Year Blog Anniversary Post

    Two years ago I started this blog and one of my first posts was titled “2017-01-15 The Riddle of the Middle”. It was one brief paragraph that posed the question, “How do you start something new when it feels like you are starting in the middle?“ I’m confident now, two years later, answering that question.…
