    2020-07-01 Change is Sometimes Neither Fast Nor Easy

    About 16 days ago I decided I had enough of feeling shitty every freaking day and set out on a mission to figure it out and turn things around. i decided the first step was to do a substance cleanse and get my body free of chemicals that alter my mood, help me sleep or…

    2020-06-26 Take Back the City Tour: Day 12 – The Quest for Ben and Jerry’s

    My daughter and I have different styles for vacations and road trips. Or perhaps years of experience has shaped my style into being more rigid and regimented. At this juncture, I think it’s important to note that sometimes life is better when you let go of what you have learned and just accept the day…

    2020-06-16 Take Back the City Tour: Day 1

    Day 1 and I’m feeling good about my decision yesterday to make some changes. No sleep meds last night and it was a rough start to the night, but eventually sleep came to me. I slept until just past 5 and that was quite nice. I’m also going to ween myself off caffeine. This I’m…

    2020-06-15 Take Back the City For Yourself Tonight…

    Or I’ll take back the city for me. Why is this Snow Patrol lyric in my head? It was a miserable day today. One of those days you realize, something has got to change. There are so many things in my life right now that are going right that it feels sort of ridiculous to…

  • 2020-06-15 Whaaaaaat is WRONG With Me??!!

    It’s after midnight so it’s officially the 15th of June. It’s almost 1AM so I’m officially exhausted, frustrated, and dreading tomorrow. It’s no secret that I have a history of having issues with sleep. It’s right there in my list of categories. It’s one of the first things I check on my fitbit when I…

    2020-05-24 Sushi Sunday Anyone? 🍣

    We had a glorious thunderstorm last night (apparently) and I woke at the end of that, happy to hear the rain as I’ve done some planting of annuals in pots the last week or so and every day it rains is a day I don’t have to. Thanks Universe! I also went back to sleep…

    2020-04-17 Restless Sleep and Unsettling Dreams

    Everyday I wake up and check my FitBit. What kind of sleep did I get? What’s my sleep score and how many hours and minutes did the Bit think I was asleep? Everyday there is an advertisement (of course) to try the “premium” version that promises more insights. These are troubled times, reports the app,…

    2020-04-13 Accepting a New Way

    For the first time ever I got a sleep score above 90. According to my FitBit the score for my sleep last night was 91 which equates to excellent. Wowza! Last night I didn’t have much to think about in the way of what “has” to get done this week. My work hours have been…
