The past couple days have been rough for me. And I think I’ve figured out why I’m feeling so sad and raw the past couple days. I’m adding it all up:
A brief experience in bed where I awoke thinking I was touching a person and it ended up being one of the dogs and how disappointed that [...]

Except for an occasional cough and bit of wheeziness, it appears that the bronchitis is finally gone, as is the pityriasis rosea. Fingers crossed!
I’ve been keeping away from the gym because of these two problems that make getting out of breath and really sweaty a bad idea. But now that they’re gone, well, unless I [...]

When you read this, you’ll realize why I couldn’t even think about it until today, much less record it.
6:00 – 7:30 AM — Get out of bed; head outside with dogs to open coop and feed/water chickens; shower and dress; feed dogs; pack lunch and afternoon snack; make coffee and eat some breakfast.
7:30 – 8:00 [...]

Another long day today, and I didn’t even have time to fit in a nap. But it’s Earth Day and the weather cooperated wonderfully.
A sunny blue sky with fluffy white clouds to admire. Warmish temps: not too hot, not too cold. It was a perfect time to bring out the bicycle for my errands today. [...]

Today is a day of good things so far!
First, I got to enjoy an evening out with Betsy last night at The Matchbox. We went straight from work and got the good seats near the front door where all the regulars congregate. About 3 hours and 3 margaritas later, we had to head out ’cause I [...]

Sometimes I spend too much time trolling around Craigslist. It’s almost like a nervous tic or something and is one way I sort of fill in time on conference calls that are not catching my attention.
I like to look at the different categories to see what sort of stuff is available (farm+garden and free are favorites [...]

Am I moving forward here or going backwards? For a few days there I thought my health was improved, but over the past week that has not proven to be a permanent condition.
I worked out 2 days last week and 2 days the previous week, after taking off nearly 3 weeks from my typical routine. [...]

That’s what I’ve felt like doing a good part of the day. Why do I spend so much of my energy on work? I feel like I should be able to spend more of my time enjoying my life.
I started my day with a 5 AM call with my team in India and just ended it [...]

It’s been a busy weekend for me! Here it is Sunday night already; the past few days have gone by much too quickly.
On Friday night, I had a dinner with an old friend from high school, Holly. We met up at Cousins, where I again enjoyed a very filling raw food dinner and smoothie. I returned home, [...]

I’m in a much better mood today. Maybe it’s because I worked out yesterday. Or maybe it’s because I did a bit of tanning yesterday (thereby increasing my Vitamin D level). Or maybe it’s because I got some extra sleep.
Today, good stuff happened. I had lunch with a friend from work and had a really good conversation. [...]
