  • 2018-04-02 Back to Reality

    Back home. Back to work. Getting the kids today and it will be back to our normal routine for the week. I did sacrifice some things last week (time) in order to enjoy my QT out of town and my homecoming so I’m hitting today feeling a little pressure to catch up. First, however, is…

  • 2018-04-01 Austin Day 4: Going Home

    Three full days and it’s time to go home. It’s seriously early and I’m already settled at my gate and ready for departure in about 30 minutes. It feels like a quick trip, which truly it is, but I’m ready to be home. This morning was atypical because of my early flight.Steph’s husbsnd got up…

  • 2018-03-31 Austin Day 3: Perfection

    None of my exes live in Texas but now some of my best friends do. Steph moved to Texas about six months ago so now when I visit, we’ll likely be coordinating visits with her too. Still, Texas is big and they live south of Houston so in order to do that, some extra flying…

  • 2018-03-30 Austin Day 2: Changes in Scenery

    I’m now into my second day of enjoying everything this city now offers me. I say “now”, because as we get older, the scenery has changed. I absolutely cherish how things are now. When I’m here, I’m family. We hang around and talk and eat. We go out for delicious meals also full of great…

  • 2018-03-29 Austin Day 1: My Home Away from Home

    I had a good “homecoming” yesterday as I was picked up from the airport and whisked to dinner straight away. It was a nice time at a familiar place and it gave Rebecca and I a few hours, one on one, to catch up. She updated me on her stories and I pretty much went…

  • 2018-03-28 On the Move Again – Austin Bound

    I skipped my morning workout today to make room for last minute, anxiety ridden, travel related stuff. This included checking the weather at my destination and adjusting what was in and out of my bags. I travel light, so I always worry I’m not going to have appropriate things when I land. I’ve learned my…

  • 2018-03-27 “Impromptu Oral Surgery”

    Words my co-worker said sounded like the WORST PHRASE ever. But, that’s what I typed several times yesterday to People explaining how my morning went. I went to the dentist with a tooth ache on one side of my mouth and what I would describe as a growing “bubble” on the skin on the inside…

  • 2018-03-26 Monday Mustard…

    … or Catch Up!😉 Yesterday turned out to be so strange and atypical. In the morning I cried and mourned the loss of a friend. I’m the afternoon I stared out the window at the rain and reminisced about having pancakes on Sunday mornings with my father when I was a child.. and wrote a…
