    2019-10-15 A Serious Lack of Motivation

    The week is rolling now and there’s no time to waste. I’ve got another big packet due on the 20th and I’ve been doing that classic SugarCookie thing and procrastinating the parts I don’t want to do. It’s this big craft essay thing. It’s mostly done but the final section and conclusion and a pretty…

    2019-10-08 Tennis Anyone? 🎾

    I’ve got a list of health related updates that I’m wrinkling my nose at. Why the wrinkle?.. it just seems so snore, you know. But I used to do this weekly status check thing and I feel like there’s value in it. For one, it forces me to think about it and if I’m thinking,…

    2019-10-04 Un-caffeinated Wanderings

    Pick a title.. any title. Spin the wheel, where it stops nobody knows. Except when they do… 🤔 I’m like 2 weeks into operation “good good night” where we make some life changes to get better sleep. We kicked the cats out and I no longer drink water after 7pm to limit my trips to…

    2019-09-18 Words.. The Lost and Found Edition

    When I was at residency I had a flood of words to work with. It’s always an interesting experiment in immersion and the impulse of spontaneous thought lingers for a while after I return home. This time around I was given an extra push and had some strong emotion to propel me forward and keep…

    2019-09-16 Just Shrugging Along

    Monday again and I had class which felt really long today. We finished a class exercise we started last week and it took 77 minutes. I didn’t count .. the prof was apparently keeping track. It makes me realize these things are sometimes just as tedious (or more so) for the person dreaming up, conducting…

    2019-08-21 Tick-Tock

    I’m checking the calendar again. How long has it been since my last cortisone shot? How many days until my next period? How many months until my wedding? How many days until my next assignment is due? And at the moment, the biggest elephant in the room.. how many days until next Monday, when I…

    2019-08-20 How Much is Enough?

    How many things can I cross off my list? How many things do I need to cross off to feel as if I’m doing enough? That I’ve done enough? Enough for what? To earn my keep here? To feel like I’ve actually accomplished something substantial and worthwhile? To earn some reward or rest or treating…

    2019-08-15 Nightmares and the Spoken Poem

    I don’t have much to muse about today. I could ponder longer the nightmare that I had last night which was super creepy but I kinda don’t want it to linger any longer than necessary. What was interesting was that I was having trouble falling asleep and at about midnight I got up and went…
