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…

  • 2018-01-19 On Balancing Budgets and Traveling

    Well.. I did it. I asked for more work. So now if I get too much, I only have myself to blame. I’d like to target 25 hours a week. I’ve seriously been number crunching daily and looking at all my bills and accounts. I’m spending less than I have for years and for the…

  • 2018-01-18 Poking the Panic Monster

    I have just under two weeks to get my first set of assignments turned in for this semester of my masters program. The panic monster inside of me is still fast asleep. That’s probably not a good thing. I think part of me thinks it’s going to be easy and the other part thinks that…

  • 2018-01-17 Happy Blog-aversary

    We’re over half way into January now and well past what my typical “reflection” time is for the previous year. I did a little, over December that spilled into January and recognize how far I’ve come in just one year, but there is one key thing that should not be dismissed easily and bears mentioning.…

  • 2018-01-17 Follow a Leader

    So there I was last night, having my Whole 30 compliant stir-fry bowl and going one by one through the apps on my phone clearing the little red notification badges on each. (It’s all worthless by the way and I’m going to turn all that annoying shit off.. eventually). Facebook – 5 notifications. All crap…

  • 2018-01-17 The Return of Bird Girl and Other Morning Musings

    Today when I walked into the gym I immediately noticed the girl running on the second to last treadmill in the back row of treadmills. She’s hard not to notice. Today she’s not wearying the bright red top that flows back and forth methodically from every end as she keeps Time on her machine. No.…

  • 2018-01-16 The Need for More

    It’s cloudy an 0 degrees outside right now. Yet here I am at the gym again. It’s a random Tuesday morning in January and I’m trying to find motivation to do anything. I swear that medicine I took for my migraine two nights ago is still lingering in my system. I had a tough time…

  • 2018-01-15 TKO from a Kick in the Head

    Last night something happened that has not happened in a really long time. I got kicked in the head by a migraine and it totally took me out. Typically there’s something that triggers a headache. Last time I recall was in August and it was the night before the total solar eclipse and a terrible…

  • 2018-01-14 Sushiless Sunday Status Update

    No Sushi for me today. I’m on day 7 of the Whole 30, which means no rice, which means no sushi. Waaaaaa. While I am on the subject of food, for today’s status, lets just start there. Here are my musings about this Whole 30 thing so far… Day 1 – I love eggs, this…

  • 2018-01-13 About ‘August and Everything After’

    Last night on my way home from getting groceries one of my favorite Counting Crows songs came up in the shuffle. I could only listen for like a minute before I had to skip to the next song. It wasn’t because it reminds me of something unpleasant. It’s because when Adam sings live, and it…

  • 2018-01-12 The Importance Of Definitions

    Picture if you will, that you dated a person for about 6 months and in that time had high hopes for a future together. Imagine that somewhere along the way you started falling out of love with the idea of building a life with that person. Then, after some amount of self reflection, and coming…

  • 2018-01-12 Another Departure from the Norm

    It’s the second day in a row my morning routine is really off. Today it is not because of the weather or school being closed. Today it’s because I am too nice and previously made a commitment to someone to help out with a new business venture he is trying to start and this week…

  • 2018-01-11 First Snow Day of the Year

    My normal routine was interrupted today and mother nature is to blame… or to thank, depending on how you look at it. It’s almost 9AM and I just woke up. I went to sleep just after 11PM last night knowing school was cancelled and the kids would not have to get up. Even with that…
