The good and the bad

The bad: Another tough week behind me.  Work is a pressure cooker at the end of the month, and next month is the end of our fiscal year. It’s going to be intense. I know that going into it. Hopefully knowing that will help me cope with it a little better. The good: I had [...]

Resolved

This week was intense. For as much as I enjoy three day weekends, which I had last weekend. That combined with 2 days of training the days before the weekend, and then the extra day off, made this week hellish. We also lost a really good worker due to a bad corporate policy, so we [...]

February 14th

It’s been an interesting day here at Casa Grania. First, it’s Valentines Day.  I used to hate it because it was more of an excuse for my ex’s idiocy than anything.

quickies

The scale finally moved, I’ve lost 13 pounds since the second week of January. That doesn’t suck.  I feel better. I have a little more energy. I’m also exercising at least every other morning.  This is a foreign concept to me. As part of this ongoing health trend, I’ve mostly stopped taking the mild sleeping [...]
