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…

2018-02-09 The Return Of Hope
It was a day like any other. Little did I know when it began that in the end it would go down in history as the one where everything changed. That’s pretty good right? Doesn’t it just make you want to find out what happens next? Or is it so overused and cliche and lost…

2018-02-08 When Plan A Doesn’t Work
Yesterday nothing seemed to go as panned. Serious bummer. It started when I went to my appointment at the Masonic center to donate blood. I’ve got the whole thing down to a science. That blood drive is every 2 months so it is perfect for the 60 day rule. I book my appointment using the…

2018-02-07 Mid Week Musings
When there’s so much.. where does one start? How about with the fact that my car was inches away from being the 3rd vehicle in a parking lot collision at the HS this morning. It was Kia vs. some boat of a chevey. That boat came busting across the end of an isle like her…

2018-02-06 Two Things To Start Tuesday
It’s 6AM on a Tuesday and I’m awake. That’s OK, I have to get my kids up in just a little bit. First – I’ve got a headache which is rare lately and at this point it seems to only happen about once a month, at the start of my cycle… so it’s not completely…

2018-02-05 Choosing the Bright Side
I’m ready and waiting for another great week! I did a fair amount of ranting last week, but, you know it’s all just temporary. All of it. Life itself is temporary and too short to not be loving it. One can choose to linger with the devil and his details or let go and embrace…

2018-02-05 Super Bowl Highlights – And the Winner is?…
Tide! I mean, did you see those Patriots jerseys and Eagles pants? So white! That was the best four hour commercial for a laundry detergent I’ve ever seen!! I watched the LIVE television broadcast over AIR with my HDTV bunny ears and my picture was crystal clear… so much better than streaming from my computer!…

2018-02-04 Super Sunday Status Update 🏈🏈🏈
Minus the footballs but.. Eagles and Patriots? How very American!! 🏈🇺🇸🍟(News flash.. Apple pie was replaced by McDonald’s as the iconic food of our people in 1992.. sad panda). I’ll probably stream it in my office and watch for the highlights (ie. commercials) with a nice selection of Whole 30 compliant fruits and nuts. I’ll…

2018-02-03 New Music Saturday
It’s Saturday morning and I’ve got new Taylor Swift in my ear. Her music isn’t for everyone of course, but I’m pretty convinced she wrote a few singles on this one just for me. The album “Reputation” is very tri-polar. 1/3 is drama fueled by her constant battle with some of what has transpired because…

2018-02-02 Curse That Beast and the Sun that Cast the Shadow
Six more weeks of winter? No! I’m sort of compelled to look up stats on how often he’s been right. But “ain’t nobody got time for that”. (Actually I have time but I have better things to do). I also wonder if Punxsutawney is a given name or a family name. Is Phil a boy…

2018-01-30 Taking a Byte of the Big Apple 🍎
First of all.. (and I’m gonna make this beginning side comment quick so I can get to something more pressing on my mind).. today I’m doing a happy dance because I turned in my very first MFA packet two whole days early. Woot woot! How am I going to celebrate? I’d love to say with…
