2018-01-29 Why I Love Mondays Now

I used to dread Monday. I used to wake up after a terrible nights sleep to the realization I had to go to work and there would be no reward. Well.. not zero, the shining light at work was my co-workers and believe it or not the work itself. I liked my work. I always…
2018-01-29 This is What Happens…

…When you substitute what you should be doing with everything else that’s not what you should be doing. Every day we have to make choices about what to do with our time. Much of that is dictated by choices we have already made. We have to go to work because we need to pay the…

2018-01-27 A Whole 30 Rant

Spoiler alert.. if you didn’t catch it from the title, I’m about to poke a hole in the Whole 30 program. If you don’t want the truth.. quit reading now. Ignorance is bliss. 😜 Today is Day 20 of a 30 day attempt to “reset” my body by eating Whole Foods only. I’m trying to…
2018-01-26 Just Another Post About Relationships

Yes.. again. I’ve apparently been condemned to a life of never ending questions about relationships and not a lot of answers. Where does one start? I’ll start with the state of starting over. A friend of mine said to me one time that if he and his wife were ever to part ways, for whatever…
2018-01-25 There are Rules?

Yesterday I finished a third section in the AWS Cloud Guru courses for taking the solution architect associate exam. I’m still only 20% of the way through the the material. I took the practice test and missed 2 questions out of 21 and subsequently retook the test so I could get 100%. Cuz that’s how…
2018-01-24 Why Poetry

I’m in the car this morning navigating the ice rink that is the high school parking lot. I was dodging teenagers and their Pontiacs and late model Cadillacs and somehow maintaining my positive disposition despite my daughters insistance on fighting with me about a 5 minute discrepancy in our schedules. I’m only half listening to…
2018-01-23 In a Tuesday Kind of Mood

My car needs new tires. My daughter is home sick today. And I only had 6 hours of sleep last night. Ugh. On the bright side, yesterday I finished patching the hole in the wall where I punched out my old thermostat and that’s ready for painting. I also opened and filed all my paper…
2018-01-22 What If There Was an Impeachment Committee

I jinxed myself. I was so stoked about the sleep I’ve been getting lately I went and ran my mouth about it. My reward? A restless night tossing and turning, drifting in and out of consciousness without knowing if the constant tippity-tap of sleet on my roof was real or a dream. I had positive…
2018-01-21 Sunday Status Update

Sleep.. Average 8 hours and 14 minutes last week. That’s freaking amazing!!! The consistency is getting better and I think that’s a direct result of my diligence and really establishing a great routine. It’s only January and I’m already hitting my goal! 😴😊✅🎉 Eating.. Still on the Whole 30. Today is Day 14. I’m almost…
2018-01-20 Dreams and Unresolved Feelings

Welcome to Saturday. In truth, it’s a day for me like any other. It’s gym time first followed by a writing workshop downtown and then I’m going to try and get a little more time in on a work document. My life is so exciting. One thing good that comes from such a boring existence…
2018-01-19 The Problem with Millenials

My last post centered around my concern for my bank account, which lead me on a meandering path about other things that I want to do and how much money they are going to cost. Not with specifics, you know, just about wanting to travel and how I’m going to have to be frugal this…
