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…

  • 2017-12-19 It’s Go Time

    When I arrived home from the gym yesterday I had my first assignment from my new boss sitting in my in-box. By my first real meeting at 3pm,I was deep into trying to understand that and the other documentation I was into. By the end of my second meeting at 5:30pm, I had my second…

  • 2017-12-18 On Routine and Some Things that Never Change

    I’m now pretty set in my morning routine. I’m a serious creature of habit. One of the things I’ve gotten really used to at this point is going to the gym right after dropping the kids off at school. I was previously not looking forward to starting a new job and having to give that…

  • 2017-12-17 The Holiday at Hogwarts Letdown

    Maybe it’s the fact that I dropped some serious cash on the “experience”. Maybe it’s the fact that it did not seem to be a value for what I paid. Perhaps I felt my companions were not very grateful. Or maybe I’m just tired and have a head ache and that’s the reason I’m unhappy…

  • 2017-12-17 Stellar Sunday Stats

    I can hardly believe that two weeks have gone by again already. The closer we get to the end of the year, the faster time flies. This is the second to last status update for the year and I’m quite pleased that I’m holding steady on most things. Sleep.. I’m still getting just shy of…

  • 2017-12-16 It’s Six O’clock on a Saturday

    I’ve been awake since half past four and up since five. I’ve put some laundry in the wash, swept the laundry room floor, watered some plants, and started some new broccoli sprouts. It’s too early for me to be awake and I’m wondering if after all that I can make it back to sleep for…

  • 2017-12-15 Lions and Tigers and Boys.. Oh My

    Yesterday was quite a strange day and full of expected and unexpected events. Most of it had to do with other people and most of those other people were men. Spoiler.. this one is on the long-ish side but the last bit at the end is super relevant to the story. First, my ex-husband called…

  • 2017-12-14 The Nicest Rejection Ever

    I’ve got too many emails in my personal in-box. I’m notorious for opening what’s important and ignoring the rest. Truly. That little red badge on the app on my phone typically has 1000+ on it which, apparently, doesn’t really bother me like it bothers some people. I will go through every couple months and do…

  • 2017-12-13 Big News Today!

    I’ve been unemployed for five and a half months. I’ve rested, rejuvenated, and rediscovered a sense of purpose for myself in this life. As of today, December 13, I’m back on the payroll!.. Woo-hoooo!! In the past month I began to get more serious about finding the right job for me. I had narrowed down…

  • 2017-12-12 How Do They Do It?

    This past weekend I had an interview with the manager at my gym for a position as a front desk attendant. For those who don’t know, there’s typically a person who stands at the info desk near the entrance to the gym and is responsible for greeting people. The other job responsibilities include, as I…

  • 2017-12-10 The Curse of the Logical Mind

    There is no escaping reality. Believe me, I’ve tried. Well.. I’ve tried enough to feel really shitty for a couple of days after drinking too much. That’s where I was last year in the weeks leading up to and following Christmas. I hit rock bottom and did not want to live anymore. I was not…

  • 2017-12-10 Like Plants Vs. Zombies – It’s About Time

    A couple years ago Plants Vs. Zombies 2 came out and it was the long awaited, quite overdue sequel to the first game. That first game was something I had never played. The truth is, I don’t play many video games and am not really into that sort of thing. I have a long history…

  • 2017-12-10 Where Did the Weekend Go?

    I’ve definitely eaten too much this weekend… and almost none of it was healthy. I’m not sure, but I think my body is trying to gear up for new years resolutions by making me suffer through sugar craving and junk food rampages. The sick part about all that, is that it is kind of making…
