    The saying “Hurry up and wait” is often attributed to the military but I think is also quite appropriate for the hospitals and medical care. Nothing like waiting around all day for something to happen or change and being disappointed because nothing happens. And why is it that the waiting and nothing is also somehow…

    2021-02-27 Three Days Rolled into One

    Yesterday felt like two or three days long. Waking up just past two and milling about in the middle of the night and eventually meeting with the normal morning routine felt like day 1. Day 2 was going to a yoga class and returning home to house chores and a bunch of stuff for the…

    2021-02-21 Sunday Status Funny Money 🐹

    It’s Sunday and I’m checking my stats. How did I do meeting my goals?  For sleep I achieved my goal 6 of 7 nights.  Healthy eating.. 4 of 7.  Mood.. 4 of 7. Meditation.. 2 of 7.  Exercise.. 6 of 7.  Most of this looks good but feels a bit like funny money. Like you…

    Being “stranded” at home yesterday was good. I felt like I was really productive and balanced my time well between chores, GLR work, and the other selfish activity I had on my to-do list which was archiving content from my laptop on my external hard drive and reorganizing the drive.  I started with my music…

    2021-02-11 A Quick Trip on the Memory Train

    I’m walking. I’m walking. I’ve got nothing today. A full set list of stuff to get done today while I’m stranded at home. Jeep won’t start again and is parked at Jim’s office. He took my car to work today.  It’s ok because it’s the first day of my period (cuz I know you wanted…
