Did we really have a long weekend? It seems like yesterday I was thrust back into work. Like walking downhill only to stumble and roll out of control. That was yesterday. I saw it coming. We’d gone to a meditation retreat over the weekend. It was going too blissfully. Still, I got a good deal…

Working Smarter
Spent a great weekend just reconnecting with the man and enjoying some yard time. The lack of humidity made it marvelous gardening. The neighbor’s cat, per usual, was a constant companion. I would sit on the swing for a break and he’d make a running leap for my lap. If they’re not careful, he may…
Re-entry
What’s on the iPod: War is Kind by Jakob DylanWhat I’m reading: Traveller’s History of Ireland Has it been just a week since I last worked? More like a week and a half, which makes sense given the disconnection from work, stress, and all things responsible I’m immersed in. We drove north to Ontario two…
Mad Dashes and Lists
What’s on the iPod: Wannabe by The Spice Girls (stop laughing)What I’m reading upstairs: Going to Meet the Man by James Baldwin I’ve been a bit quiet about it, but I’m actually about to go on vacation. The reason I’ve been quiet: the moment I announce it, all hell tends to break loose workwise. So…
Ouch
What’s on the iPod: Good Arms vs. Bad Arms by Frightened Rabbit Yesterday was an abbreviated day, and thankfully I thought ahead and made sure I didn’t have a ton of work to come home to. I had a biopsy of a thyroid. The actual needle part didn’t hurt – it was the lump-in-the-throat feeling…
Pace Yourself
I’m back! Anyone miss me? The trip was wonderful. It was also long enough for me to forget all stresses, worries, projects, and bills owed. How’s that for a great vacation? But I would like to thank the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue for welcoming me home with an underpayment of taxes notice. I appreciate the…
Yea, It Feels Like This
You may have seen this video once or twice, but it makes me smile and gets me teary-eyed every time. This is exactly the joy you feel when you’re married to your best friend. Enjoy, everyone. 🙂 Wedding Dance
Vacation Prep
With vacation time drawing nearer, I spent the weekend planning, packing, and doing chores outside (and working). I pushed the lawn mower around Sunday and then made the stupid decision to wash and wax my car. I say stupid because it was 85 and insanely humid here. That wash/wax nearly put me in a hospital….
UFOs and Vacations
I woke this morning to the strangest sight – the sun. It’s what they call a UFO in Scotland, it happens so rarely. Yes, I can still see it. I had forgotten what it looked like! I’m sure it’s short-lived, but I’ll take it, humidity and all. I can’t help getting that uneasy feeling that…
Break Time
I’m taking a much-needed break this week. I’ll be back in August!
