2019-02-08 Friday Mini Road-Trip
I’ve been pushing myself this week to get as much done before today so Jim and I can go on a little road trip. He is at work now and I’m doing that cardio thing I do but late morning we are going to cut out of town and head north-west. Yeah, the temps are…

2019-02-01 Life on Hold
Sometimes, often times actually, I’m a broken record about how there is not enough time. Not enough time to get everything that needs doing done and not enough time to sleep. There’s not enough time in the day to support our relationships and families and work and workout and also do the things we like…

2019-01-18 Something New
This is cool.. a group of ladies from my MFA program have formed a writing group. They meet every Thursday evening and write in 30 minute sprints with breaks in between to chat.

2019-01-12 A Year in Review – Farewell 2018
As predicted, I’m slow to take a good long, wide-net look at 2018. I’m just now starting to consider what is worth looking in the rear view for. Of course there are the easy and obvious things, like my measured stats.. steps, sleep, heart rate, weight, yadda-yadda, woof-woof. A big part of me is like…

2019-01-08 I’ll Get it Together, Just Not Today
This morning I’m back to my “home” routine, which I have not had for a week. No. For a week I’ve been in my alternate reality with a foot in a life I’m about to have. Not only did I not have my morning routine but it was also a “holiday” week which I took…

2019-01-04 Dream-State Writing
Twice yesterday, from different sources, I was given the advice of writing first thing in the day. The first instance was in a lecture where the person giving the talk was explaining that when a person first wakes up, and their mind is still transitioning from the subconscious state of dreaming to the conscious state…
