I had a rather stressful day yesterday. No need to elaborate, but it was just mentally taxing for me, and I have a lingering dull headache right now as a result. There were some good things, though. 1- The weather was spectacular. It cooled down and the sky was a brilliant blue all day. 2-… Continue reading On to a new day
The end of this week has felt overwhelming to me. Despite our heat wave, which has been a welcome change, and has made everything feel nice, bright and very "summery". But I don't know, I just feel...overwhelmed. My brain dump list from last week has remained untouched, except I've thought of a bunch of things… Continue reading Some complaints + gratitude 🙂
It's Hot We've entered summer, apparently, here in Wisconsin.... never mind that just last week we seemed firmly on the outskirts of winter. Spring just never showed up this year. It was 90 degrees yesterday. !!!! I heard on the news that it was actually a record high temperature for May 10. I finally caved… Continue reading Heat wave and teens/compromise
Yesterday was a 5/5 day on my mood ranking chart! I don't give those out too often. What made it such a good day? Well, nothing special, really. It was just a nice day. 1. THE WEATHER. After a terrible spring, it was sunny and ~60 degrees yesterday. 2. I liked how I scheduled my… Continue reading 5 out of 5 day
Good morning....I've been up since about 4:18 a.m., when I woke suddenly from dream. In the dream, I had felt a little something under my pillow. So, (in the dream), I of course moved my pillow, and found dozens of SPIDERS crawling all over the bed! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like, big, black, disgusting spiders!! Ivan and I… Continue reading Workday appointments, resisting temptation and spider dreams
*Walking. I've walked M, T and Th this week so far. Weather was crummy early in the week/ cold, so I used the treadmill. Yesterday, we had a beautiful, warm day, so I got outside for 20 minutes before starting work. *Stretching and workouts. My workout on the schedule was a simple one- a recovery… Continue reading Some stuff about my week
Today is Good Friday, and Easter weekend is upon us. I feel like I should have some kind of profound post prepared to honor the important significance of this day in my religion (Christianity), but, I do not. I've got nothin'. I'm sorry. But at the same time, I feel like when it comes to… Continue reading I’ve got nothin’
WORK: Work has been a bit intense lately. The long vacation break was very restorative for me, but I returned to sort of a chaotic scene. I mentioned before that I'm newly responsible for covering a bunch of tasks for someone who recently left. All in all, it's going okay, but you know how it… Continue reading Today’s thoughts: Work + Health
We're in that kind of fuzzy stage right now after vacation, trying to get back in the groove. It's harder when it's a long vacation, like this one was. Sleep/ jet lag has been so-so. I've been waking up really early and unable to fall back to sleep- around 3 am on Sunday (1st day… Continue reading Adjusting to normal life
Gosh, it feels like it's been a while, which is so rare for me. We were gone all weekend (Friday --> Sunday night) for the Wisconsin State Championships swim meet and yesterday kind of felt like a whirlwind, too. My life feels a little weird right now. Our spring break trip is coming up very… Continue reading Checking in & good/bad list
