  • 2017-04-04 Boredom

    It has been a few days since I have written anything. Either I have not had the time or the inclination. I generally feel better about things if I can write through it, but sometimes, it just doesn’t work out to do that. I also feel like a broken record sometimes. Or a broken CD.…

  • 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…

  • 2017-03-30 Wait a Day, Things Will Change

    Two days ago, by the sheer force of my own will, I turned a rotten day into a good day. At the very least, I took a negative start to the day and made something positive out it. I did that with my mind powers. Or so I thought. Yesterday, it was a complete turnaround.…

  • 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…

  • 2017-03-28 Where’s the Bright Side?

    I woke up with a slight headache this morning and it’s officially day 1 of my cycle. I don’t have to go into the office today, thank goodness. At the present moment I’m still in bed with my laptop and seriously considering just working from here until I really need to get up for some…

  • 2017-03-28 Jimmi D’s – They Can’t All Be Winners.. 2

    Sometimes, it’s just about a Cheeseburger. 😃 On Saturday (yes, I know that was like 3 days ago now), the kids and I met my Mom and Sister’s and my sister’s husband, Bob, at a restaurant and Bar called Jimi D’s. I really like the place, it’s a mid-tier bar, so not a dive and…

  • 2017-03-26 Sunday Stats + Choices

    It’s been a while since I posted stats. So long, that I forgot what I was keeping track of. I’ve put a pause on tracking my food so I have nothing to report on for that. Feeling a bit setback the past 3 weeks, I’ve put more of a focus on sleep and exercise. My…

  • 2017-03-26 Early Morning Mommy Feels

    I woke up at 6AM today after about 6.5 hours of sleep. I did not hit my goal of 7 hours but that’s OK and I kind of did not expect to given the state of affairs right before we all went to bed (see yesterday’s post). I was angry, Cooper was upset by my…
