    2021-03-15 This Room With a View is Not Helping My Mood

    No walking on the treadmill for me today… I’m out of my element and typing on my laptop from a hospital room while my mom tries to take a nap. Though, I think sleep in this place is rare because of all the people coming and going. I’ve been here a few hours now and…

    2021-03-07 Checking It and (Mostly) Not Wrecking It ❤️💤☯️ ✔️✔️✔️

    It’s Sunday again and I’m up early and checking my stats. I changed things up for the month of March so this is my first week evaluating new measures.  For exercise I’m still keeping tabs on my step count but also trying to improve my heart function by making sure I get some good cardio…

    2021-02-28 Looking Back to Improve the Future… 🗓 ✅🚫⏰

    It’s the last day of the month and the last day of the week AND the last day of my little experiment to untether myself from my phone. You know what that means? It’s time for the ultimate Sunday status.  First off.. I’ve already been analyzing “stats” for about 50 minutes of today’s walk so…

    2021-02-24 Some Days Just Need to Be Forgotten

    Yesterday was a doozie. I’m not sure what exactly what it was besides a series of random, unrelated events but it was a miracle nobody was murdered. Scratch that. I know exactly what it was that started it.. the incident with the trash cans. After that, there’s not a thing that could happen to fix…

    2021-02-18 A Serious Need to Not Take Anything Too Seriously

    Having another one of those days. You know.. where I just want to tell the world to efffff off. Not you darlings though. Nope.  This mood has been a fairly regular thing these weeks, I’m finding. I was soooooo tired this morning and tired of being tired. Caffeine helps but then I feel bad about…

    2021-02-15 Trying to be Positive Amidst So Much Negativity

    As predicted my step streak was broken yesterday. Missed it by a whopping 4K as I sat around all day lamenting my fever and aching muscles.  Let’s cut to the chase. It’s negative 13 degrees outside right now. The high will be negative 2 which won’t last long before the dip back down to a…

    2021-02-10 The Mirror I’m Looking at is Also a Revolving Door

    I suppose I’ve been past due for another “In the Mirror” moment. By now, with the reliable repeat, I guess it’s always just a matter of time until it happens again.  I’m talking about the moment I step on my treadmill and look at myself in the mirror (figuratively and literally as the treadmill faces…

    2021-01-20 Take Two

    I kinda told the whole world to fuck off today. I mean, within reason.  I cancelled the appointment I had with my financial advisor. I really don’t see the need to talk to him unless I need something or he needs something. Feels like a waste of time. He’s got my business, my money is…
