Little Things for This Morning
Pilates is done. My trip to Belize in January is booked. I’ve found friends to walk with every night for the rest of the week. The sun is shining. I’ve got a raspberry herbal tea.
First Day of June
The weekend flew by. I was out Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights – to a concert, a birthday party and then fancy drinks at a swanky bar, and a concert, respectively. It was fun. I felt happy to...
Little Things for Tonight
A day without rain. A long walk with a friend. Ice water after that walk. A pile of veggies for dinner. A cool shower. Clean sheets. The hope of sweet dreams.
Little Things for This Morning
A ripe mango with my oatmeal. A challenging sunrise yoga class. A rare couple of hours of sun. 10 extra minutes outside with my pets. A beautiful new necklace. Indie radio on the drive in to work...
This
Sigh.
May 23
Sitting at the table at S’s. He’s still in bed. We had the chat last night. And I am struggling to take the advice I would give a friend.
The Weekend and Monday
Things are fine. I am still battling this sickness but it is well on the way out. Whatever it is, I hope has made me/my immune system stronger. Work was a total beat down yesterday. At least, in...
Moving Train
April 13 was a 6. And this entry is public, so whoever is sending my entries to S can just send this one right over. I went to a kickass Pilates class, worked at a slow and steady pace all day, m...
March 27
Yesterday was an 8. I had a nice breakfast and listened closely through then conference sessions and then ate lunch like I’d never seen food in my life. I also ate four tiny desserts. Pine nuts r...
March 26
Five pairs of shoes and no computer charger. That realization is how I started my trip to Scottsdale. So I am typing this on my iPad. And, no, I did not bring my iPad keyboard. Not having the com...
March 20
Yesterday was a 7. Pilates, work, HOC, snuggling with dogs. The end. Nothing exciting really. So busy at work. Nothing on the man front. Nothing on any front really. I finally defriended all of ...
March 19
Yesterday was a busy one. I guess it was a 7.5. Pilates was a bust and then the people I had the 8:30 with were late. And then I went to a meeting at 10:30 and the person we were meeting with did...
March 9
Was a 7. A very hectic, how-will-all-this-work-get-done 7. Many meetings. Many things coming together at once. Everyone needs this done yesterday. It’s a lot. Everything else was fine. I did not...
March 2
Busy day at work. Got handed a well-paying freelance project for a fast turnaround. Went to Pilates. Ate well. Didn’t sleep all that well. Watched The Bachelor and Girls and Togetherness. Texted ...
How Sweet It Is
There are two moments each day now that feel sweeter than the rest: the moment I take off my work clothes and pull on my soft, loungy clothing for the rest of the night, and that moment right aft...
February 17
Writing from my new job! Yesterday was an 8. The day was good. The new job is nice. People are nice and I have been really impressed by the processes in place. Everyone is very excited that I am ...
February 13 & 14
Friday was a beautiful, warm, sunny day here. Last Friday of Funemployment. I went to Pilates and walked three miles in the afternoon while listening to a couple of short podcasts. I worked some....
January 29
Well hello, friends. We are wrapping up a month that has been most interesting. The same as I plan to discontinue my strict vegan diet (watch out, froyo, here I come!) I plan to discontinue these...
I Got a Tattoo
That is all for now.
January 20
Yesterday, as you likely know from Facebook, was an 8, made so by an email from the editor at the food site with the subject line “God, this Dallas guide is good.” I ate no foods from animals, ha...
Inner Bonding
I have been reading this email thing I signed up for called Inner Bonding. Today, lesson six, has this: “You cannot make new choices until you watch yourself making your current choices. You will...
January 17
Good morning. I have come to really look forward to typing these reports. Yesterday was a 6.5. If I’d had another human being to interact with, it would have been a 7. I did yoga for an hour an...
January 17
I’ve passed the one month mark on the breakup. It was really rough going there for a while, but I think I am on solid ground now. We have not talked since Sunday, and on that call I told him that...
January 16
Yesterday was a 6.5. No drama. Just cruising along. Nothing to see here, really. No alcohol, no animal products, no Stephen. Yoga, work, knitting. I went to see the movie Selma, which took place...
January 9
Yesterday was a very solid six. After breakfast but before I dived into what was going to be only a little work, Stephen called. We talked for over an hour, and it was good. It was honest. It wa...
