  • 2017-12-03 Sunday Status Update and Reflection

    Some days I feel so positive about my progress and some days I just feel like a follow through failure. Braeaking it all down with statistics helps me realize the reality and take feelings out of the story. These “pulse checks” are therefore very helpful. It’s also helpful to compare one moment in time to…

  • 2017-10-05 Why Not Both?

    This morning I met with one of my former managers and we had a good conversation about career, things I should look to be doing, and just generally catching up with our respective lives. There was a lot packed into that hour and while I didn’t necessarily come away with a concrete yes on potentially…

  • 2017-10-04 Oh the Tragedy of Reality 

    I woke up this morning feeling sadness. I’ve been riding on such a high the past week or so I guess it was bound to end eventually. I mean, emotions are situational and fleeting and the reality is that there’s not a whole lot of permanence in this life. Relationships are temporary. Events that we…

  • 2017-09-18 A Very Nice Homecoming Indeed

    Austin was lovely as usual and a nice change of pace and retreat from the normal SugarCookie life. But what is “normal” now days? It’s become highly focussed on health and well being with a heavy dose of doing all the things I want to do when I want to do them. Not a bad…

  • 2017-09-08 On Social Anxiety and Meeting People

  • 2017-08-29 Don’t Question It, Just Enjoy

    I’m really trying to make sense of the fact that I was in a better mood today. I should just enjoy it, but my brain is treating this like another puzzle to be solved. Why brain. Why? All last week I was in a funky mood and if you are following along and read yesterday,…

  • 2017-07-01 Welcome to the Second Half…

    … of the year. In January at my sisters wedding I was drunk texting my friend Rebecca in Austin and taking pictures of the reception. I remember thinking how beautiful my sister was in her dress and how happy everyone was and how much fun it was out on the dance floor. At that moment,…

  • 2017-04-18 Dark and Stormy

    Either that’s the weather outside right now or what I should be drinking to dull my animosity… or both. Yesterday I left the office at 4PM tired and frustrated. I had been there since 7 trying to make progress on a project. The VPN connection is so unstable and if it is idle for more…
