  • 2017-04-23 Phoenix – Day 2, The Working Weekend Continues

    Today I woke up at around 7AM, but only had about 4.5 hours of sleep. It was not because I was up late having fun, it was all work related. I think I went to bed after midnight, but must not have fallen asleep for a while, according to my trusty FitBit. This morning I…

  • 2017-04-19 Wild Wild Wednesday

    It’s been a long day. It’s been a long evening. I sort of feel like today was a success because I was able to balance everything and hit most of my goals but It’s 10:15 PM and I’m wiped, both mentally and physically. I got 20K+ steps at the gym and went to Jazzercise. I…

  • 2017-04-12 Waking Up Wednesday Wondering Why

    I’m so glad Tuesday is over. I’m so glad it’s Wednesday now and I’m waking up and get the chance to start over. Even more than that, I’m glad I had 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep. It was dream-filled sleep, but I’ll take that any night over waking up at 2 or 3 or 4…

  • 2017-04-10 My Own Worst Enemy

    It’s still Monday, for another half an hour. I think I’m my own worst enemy when it comes to doing what I know is right. I declare that the first step to solving my woes is to get enough sleep, yet I’m the one who decides to bake cookies after getting home at 9PM at…

  • 2017-04-09 A Not So Lazy Sunday

    The wind is picking up outside and on my way home from the store I saw sparks of lightning behind the clouds in the sky. It’s late and dark on a Sunday and I’m very ready to call it quits for today. I woke up at 7AM and for the life of me I can’t…

  • 2017-04-05 Random Hump-Day Update

    This morning I feel pretty good about life in general. I’m well rested and ready for a highly productive work day. I fully intend to get a lot done today and am also looking forward to a sister-date I have scheduled tonight with my lovely sister Jamie. I’ve got a lot to catch her up…

  • 2017-04-01 On Sleep and Seeking Medical Help

    Today I slept in until 10 AM. Thanks in part to being at Josh’s house until like 5 and the other part to Alprazolam (Xanax). Without it, I probably would not have been able to fall back asleep. As usual, my mind was wide awake at 5AM and in those cases in the past, I…

  • 2017-03-29 Yes I Can

    Yesterday I woke up in a funk. I had more than 8 hours sleep which is outside the norm for me and yet I was groggy and did not feel well rested. I was sort of crampy and a lot grumpy and just generally feeling low and dumpy from what felt like 100 days of…
