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…

2018-09-02 Time for Something New
It’s 8:15 AM on a random Sunday and I’m doing that typical morning routine thing I do. I don’t particularly have anything to write about. I mean, nobody is going to care that I had to switch elliptical machines cuz the one I usually use now has a rough bump in the forward motion on…

2018-09-01 Sorry, Can’t See the High Road from Here
Go ahead a read this and tell me I need to be a bigger person. Try to tell me to put my big girl panties on and get over it. Convince me somehow that taking the high road would be better. You would not be wrong.. but damnit if I’ve had just about enough and…

2018-08-31 Savor the Flavor Of Today
Wow yesterday I was in a crap mood. Once the workday was done. I let go of that and Jim and I had a great evening together. We went to run a few errands and then came back to the house where he cooked me dinner and we watched our show, Colony. I wanted a…

2018-08-30 Random Thursday Rants
It’s now been 4 weeks since the insertion of the hormone boost and I swear I have less energy and focus now. It sucks. I guess I was unreasonably hopeful this change would make me feel amazing and I still can’t stay awake much past 9PM. Sucks sucks!! Am I destined to be lame and…

2018-08-29 Elevator Nightmares
I would not say I necessarily have any re-occurring dreams or nightmares but I definitely have reoccurring themes within them. I could probably go on and on about dreams but it almost always seems like a silly thing to spend time writing about. I mean, the question of what it all means will never really…

2018-08-28 Triple 8s
The same number at the end of the month/day/year. That doesn’t happen every day! Three times this year actually. I guess it’s ok then that my day has totally already gone sideways. I’m about 1.5 hours behind schedule due to a cat that didn’t cooperate and also my kids calling at 8:45 from their dads…

2018-08-27 And That’s a Wrap
Yesterday turned out to be quite a day. Strange indeed. The kids slept past noon which meant it was quiet in the house and I could just putz around doing whatever. As it turns out, I don’t know what to do with myself when I have free time. I had made the command decision not…

2018-08-26 Sunday Status Bday Style
Exercise.. Don’t care! Healthy Eating.. Is for chumps. Sleep.. There’s always tomorrow. Work.. What’s that again? I can’t hear you. 🙉 School.. Let them eat cake! 🍰 Relationship status.. Cheers to that! 🥂 Yeah, it’s like that, but not without its thorns. Let me be clear.. Just because life is good, that doesn’t mean the…

2018-08-25 Party Time
So it has begun. I’ve almost completely let go of any obligation or responsibility in my life in order to allow myself to enjoy this momentous occasion. In my whole life I’ve never put so much significance on my birthday, but damnit, it’s about time. I feel the need to write a list coming on.…

2018-08-24 In a Haze, a Sleepy DayGaze
Last nights dinner was OK. There was a bit of a damper on it because I was super tired and not really in the right mood. We met at my sister’s new apartment and walked from there to the restaurant. The food was average, the margarita gave me a headache, and the only person in…

2018-08-23 Week Three with the Hormone Boost
Namely testosterone. Do I feel the advertised effects of more energy and focus? No. However I do wake up with a tiny headache each day. Wtf? The last couple weeks I basically chalked that up to starting my monthly cycle which I still get headaches during, but that’s long gone now and still these tiny…

2018-08-22 Something About Priorities.. Blah Blah blah…
Sure sure, there’s ALWAYS something that needs to get done. But what is truly needed? Need has become subjective. In the current throw away and start over society most of us have what we “need”. I’m strictly speaking for the middle class. Or maybe the middle upper class? I try to not think too much…
