    2018-10-30 Colorado Day 3 (and 4)

    I’m just now playing catch up on my days and as it turns out, when you are busy doing stuff, you don’t have much time to write. On Sunday Jim and I met up with my bro for a nice hike around the flatirons at Boulder. It was a longer hike than both Jim and…

    2018-10-27 When in Rome

    Last night my love and I watched the sun go down past the foothill mountains around us an the valley was drenched in the chill of deep shadows. After today, I was reminded that where we are staying, which is likely at elevation of 7 or 8000 feet, is really just the beginning of the…

    2018-10-26 Colorado or Bust

    That’s what was written on the whiteboard when I arrived at Jim’s house this week. When we woke up this morning at 6:30am it was as if there was more energy about the house that a normal Friday. There was no “normal routine”, no getting ready for work, it was all buzzing with the force…

  • 2018-10-25 What Day Is It Again?

    We took the day off yesterday for various reasons and it felt so much like a Saturday that waking up today I thought it was Sunday. I was thinking “wow, that week went so fast”, and checking my FitBit for stats. When I didn’t see the weekly average for sleep I was all like 🤔…

  • 2018-10-23 Smile and Nod

    Or wave or something. Anything. I don’t know. It feels like it’s been ages since I wrote a blog post or journal entry or whatever this is. It’s actually only been a couple of days. I’m not sure if I count Sunday’s cuz those have a predetermined topic and format and I really don’t do…

  • 2018-10-21 The How-Is-It-Sunday-Again-Already Status

    Remember a few short months ago when I was all like “I love Monday’s, Monday’s are great! Monday is one of my favorite days of the week!”?! Yeah, I hope you didn’t believe those lies. I guess the more you come to treasure your weekends, the more it seems to go too fast, the more…

  • 2018-10-19 Friday Scrambles (thoughts from a very white girl)

    Scrambled egg whites and scrambled thoughts for your Friday Feels… Have you ever had scrambled egg whites? It’s certainly healthier than regular scrambled eggs but somehow against nature and the laws of balance in the Universe. First of all, separating the egg yolk and tossing it away is such a waste. Would you ever buy…

  • 2018-10-18 Book Covers Can Be Challenging

    Most people have heard the saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover”. It’s such a true statement both literally and figuratively. Most of the time it’s easy to pick up a book and dismiss anything that’s off-putting and continue to read the jacket descriptions, praises, and book summary. Even if those are questionable, we…

  • 2018-10-17 Rinse and Repeat

    I might thrive on routine but I’m sort of sick of the current 45 I’m going round and round on. I woke up twice last night, the first time was because I was so congested I could not breathe and the second time I hacked up my second lung. That’s right, I don’t have lungs…

  • 2018-10-16 Remember That?

    Hey, do you remember back in 2016 when my life was going to shit and I was in a serious downward spiral that landed me in a very dark place? No? Oh that’s right, I wasn’t blogging publicly then yet. Well during that time I experienced a phenomenon which was like relationship max-out. I basically…

  • 2018-10-15 Can I Get a Do-Over?

    The short story…. I’m still sick and it sucks. Today is day seven with whatever sickness this is. It’s getting really old. During the day I’ve got a sore throat and a lot of general soreness all over. My muscles ache. As soon as I lay down the congestion blocks my sinuses completely and keeps…

  • 2018-10-12 Fighting Through to Get those Friday Feels

    I’m still sick and just decided that instead of continuing to feel sorry for myself, I’m just going to try and fight through it. I woke from another sub-par night of sleep with my nasal passages completely blocked and a terrible headache. I hit that shit with pain meds and an extra dose of caffeine.…
