  • 2018-01-20 Dreams and Unresolved Feelings

    Welcome to Saturday. In truth, it’s a day for me like any other. It’s gym time first followed by a writing workshop downtown and then I’m going to try and get a little more time in on a work document. My life is so exciting. One thing good that comes from such a boring existence…

  • 2018-01-15 TKO from a Kick in the Head

    Last night something happened that has not happened in a really long time. I got kicked in the head by a migraine and it totally took me out. Typically there’s something that triggers a headache. Last time I recall was in August and it was the night before the total solar eclipse and a terrible…

  • 2018-01-14 Sushiless Sunday Status Update

    No Sushi for me today. I’m on day 7 of the Whole 30, which means no rice, which means no sushi. Waaaaaa. While I am on the subject of food, for today’s status, lets just start there. Here are my musings about this Whole 30 thing so far… Day 1 – I love eggs, this…

  • 2018-01-12 Another Departure from the Norm

    It’s the second day in a row my morning routine is really off. Today it is not because of the weather or school being closed. Today it’s because I am too nice and previously made a commitment to someone to help out with a new business venture he is trying to start and this week…

  • 2018-01-11 First Snow Day of the Year

    My normal routine was interrupted today and mother nature is to blame… or to thank, depending on how you look at it. It’s almost 9AM and I just woke up. I went to sleep just after 11PM last night knowing school was cancelled and the kids would not have to get up. Even with that…

  • 2018-01-07 Sushi Sunday Funday Status Update – A Year in the Rearview

    It’s Sunday January 7th, 2018 and my gym is swarming with resolutionaries but I’m not there yet because I’m still catching up from last week. I’ve not had time to reflect deeply on 2017, but I think that’s ok because I spent so much time on it throughout the year. I was evaluating my status…

  • 2018-01-05 MFA Residency Day 7 – Giving Oneself Permission

    I had a deep desire to stay in bed this morning after I first woke at 5AM and as I lay there with my thoughts, I miraculously fell back asleep. And I dreamt. I didn’t realize I was dreaming until I came to the point in the dream which I recognize now as a reoccurring…

  • 2018-01-06 MFA Residency Day 6 – A Song Stuck On Repeat

    After a while, all the days here seem to run together and there’s no difference from one to the next. It’s a steady rotation that cycles through eating and workshop and lecture and readings and then more eating. There’s lots of eating. I’ve never eaten this regularly since before I left home at 18. I…
