  • 2019-01-30 Holy Radio Silence Batman!

    Is it? Could it possibly be? Am I finally getting to workout and write a few words about the SugarCookie life??!! … YES Here’s the short story after enduring the most extensive stint of “blog silence” in my two years of blogging. One week ago I was preparing for the big move and now it’s…

  • 2019-01-23 Just Another Day

    It’s just another Wednesday, just another snow day for my kids (6 days off in a row now), and another day of packing. Yesterday I took on most of the basement and while I was doing that I was really struggling but now that I’m “done” it feels good. I put done in quotes because…

  • 2019-01-22 The Beast in the Basement

    Despite the phone ringing at 5:45 AM, I’m in pretty good spirits. Despite having cycle day 2 cramps and bloating, I’m energized and ready to start the day. Despite the pending snowstorm and the fact that there could not be a worse Nebraska winter week to move, I’m motivated to get rolling. Yeah, school was…

    It’s not just real now people, things are getting really real! “Really real” is like real but with an epiphany exclamation point that might knock you back if you are not careful. It’s 8 days until my move and yesterday I brought a car load of personal stuff including my kitten and all the extra…

  • 2019-01-16 Mystery Solved – The 2 Year Blog Anniversary Post

    Two years ago I started this blog and one of my first posts was titled “2017-01-15 The Riddle of the Middle”. It was one brief paragraph that posed the question, “How do you start something new when it feels like you are starting in the middle?“ I’m confident now, two years later, answering that question.…

  • 2019-01-14 What Maintenance Mode Looks Like

    A few days ago I wrapped up 2018 with a nice little post about my year. It was a great story… good characters, plot, and a nice amount of reflective detail to carry me into the next chapter of my life. It is not new information that writing is essential in my life. I write…
