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…

2018-11-15 Pulse Check on My November Diet Goals
We are halfway through November and I at the beginning of the month I had challenged myself to make some changes this month. I might spin this as a healthy Eating thing, but in actuality it’s a healthy drinking thing. My two goals were to not drink coffee and not drink alcohol. Now that it’s…

2018-11-12 Conditioning for Change
I’m not finding my chi today. I’m wasting 20 minutes at a time with indecision about what to do with my day. This is what happens when you mostly operate in JIT mode (just in time). No work truly needing to get done and nothing pressing for school. I didn’t have enough sleep and I’m…

2018-11-12 The Twisted Burger.. 3
I think everybody knows by this point that you never hype something up when you recommend it to another person. OK, maybe not everyone, because I was told by a source I trust greatly that the burger at the Twisted Cork was “the best burger” they had ever had. That’s a pretty tall order. Being…

2018-11-11 Any Given Sunday
Oh yeah, like today!! We started decorating for Christmas. We re-arranged the living room furniture. We made a space for a new tree – OUR tree. First we laid in bed until 10 and that was glorious. Then we had breakfast and cleaned and talked and went through the storage area. I was pleased to…

2018-11-10 Hopscotch Thoughts
I submitted my 3rd packet of the semester which is part of the requirements for my program about 2 weeks ago. I just received a response back a few days ago and have not opened it yet because I was overloaded with work stuff. I’m planning to spend some quality time with that today. I’m…

2018-11-09 Finally Friday!
Longest week ever!! I feel like I got thrown under a few busses this week and had to do my best to conceal how butt-hurt I am about having tire tracks across my back. You remember the one about my putting more focus on school and trying not to get sucked into the work madness.…

2018-11-06 Election Day
It’s THAT day again. The day when all of America gets to exercise the right to vote. It’s the day that qualifies our country as a democracy. We pay taxes and therefore have the right to choose the people who will represent us in making or changing the laws. I for one am glad it’s…

2018-11-05 The Missing Cat Was a Lie
Yesterday I experienced high anxiety which I attributed to multiple factors including the fact that my cat was missing. She always paces by the back door to be let out and even stretches up and puts her paw on the door handle and pulls down. Most of my doors don’t have round knobs, They have…

2018-11-04 The One About a Missing Cat
I could talk about my stats… blah blah, woof woof, whatever. It’s always the same. I could cover how I may or may not have made it through day 3 of my healthy eating challenge. Schmesh! Ain’t nobody got time for that. I have no words of wisdom. I have no helpful hints to offer.…

2018-11-03 Accountability is Key
If the only person you are accountable to is yourself, then you are more likely to cave on a goal you have set. There’s success in numbers, in partners, and a solid support system. It doesn’t matter if it’s a career goal or health goal or some other personal goal. If you have people in…

2018-11-02 The November Diet Challenge
I was talking to my friend Josh the other day and the subject of my ex came up. No, this is not going to be another post about that relationship and grief and how to get over shitty stuff. This one is more about my dietary issues. Which is largely a mental thing at this…

2018-11-01 Honoring All Saints
Happy all saints day ya’ll! Also known as All Hallows Day. It’s a Christian holiday that’s not really celebrated anymore that I can tell except for the festivities of “All Hallows Eve – you know the one.. (🎃👻🍬). The truth is that we don’t really need another holiday and as far as saints are concerned…
