    2021-01-16 Being Mindful That There’s Always Tomorrow

    Whatever it was I had all week I lost. And I can’t exactly explain it. I mean, I can blame it on my period, I suppose, which has just begun. Middle of the night with a vengeance. My sleep was restless and by 5am I gave up and shuffled myself to the kitchen to get…

    2021-01-15 The Friday that Thinks It’s a Saturday

    Yesterday was a Thursday that felt like a Friday and apparently the Universe agrees with me because we got blasted with a blizzard overnight and today everything is closed.  The solid run I was on with decent sleep got wrecked too. And with it my good mood. I’ve been feeling great all week and woke…

    2021-01-08 Vivre la Résolution! 🗓

    I’m satisfactorily rested and caffeinated. I’m in good spirits and so far feeling on top of the “sitch” today. It’s certainly still a very volatile status, kinda like that cliche about weather in Nebraska. Wait a day….  Case in point is that yesterday felt dire. I mean like “holy-hell-will-I-ever-get-my-act-together?” dire. Exhausted by a few chores…

    2021-01-03 Final MFA Res Day ??!… 🤦🏼‍♀️

    It’s official… I’ve lost track of what “MFA” day it is, what day or the week, and also what year. But I’m not ready for the new year yet and that’s ok.  What? Did I just say that I was not ready for 2020 to end. Well, not exactly. I’m ready for 2020 to take…

    2020-12-20 Stand in the Mirror and Wait for Feedback

    Sunday again. Lacking sleep again. Still working on that lecture. On and on.  I’m trying not to freak out. You know, but there’s so much to do. Res. GLR. Christmas. Bills. You know I’ve got bills that are like 60 days past due and I can’t even begin.  I don’t know what’s wrong with me.…

    2020-12-19 Christmas is Slithering Near

    See what I did there?  Oh last night I just got seriously smashed. I mean, it doesn’t take much these days. A half a bottle of my favorite red wine, Jam Jar, which is sweet and goes to my head almost immediately. But its sweetness also probably contributes to the midnight wake up with a…

    2020-12-13 “We Will Send a Car to Find You…

    … if you ever lose your way.” Last night I took my FitBit off because I went to bed somewhat early and realized that text messages buzzing my wrist were keeping me from precious sleep. Consequently I have no idea how long I was asleep or what my sleep score was. I know I put…

    2020-12-05 Stranger than Fiction

    It’s 3:30am and I’m headed into what I hope is the last long day of a string of long days that has left me sleepless, and full of Negative emotion. Yesterday was the first day I didn’t go across the river to CB and the plans I tried to make with my brother didn’t pan…
