Random ups and downs

Another week has gone by. I’m still healing up.  The doctor gave me a little different advice to care for things on Friday and there’s a noticable improvement already just 2 days later. Yay! I go back next Friday, hopefully for the last time.
In the last week I’ve been consciously re-engaging with life.  I’ve spent the last [...]

7 quick takes

1.  I’m officially stir crazy. Today is day 17 that I’ve been off of work, recovering from surgery. Daytime TV, even on narcotics, is ridiculous. I used to like Oprah, but after how many years she’s been on, there’s not a lot of new content, just rehashed stuff with different people. I’m completely not into [...]

YAY!

I got my bonus at work yesterday.  YAY!  In this economy, even though we’re supposedly recovering, my company has tightened up on a few things in order to keep us going, so we weren’t really sure we were going to get our bonuses.  Last time around we got half of a bonus. It was better than [...]

Spring is springy, dreams are dreamy, and life is good.

I haven’t been writing much anywhere lately. Sorry about the lapse. It’s spring and I’ve been enjoying it.  
My best friend and I have been spending Sunday mornings at the arboretum. They have miles of trails there to explore.  Last weekend the bluebells were blooming, and the plum trees, and lots of other things. It is [...]

The next few days…

I’m looking forward to a couple of days off this week.  I don’t take vacation days often, but I needed to cash a few in due to my outgo being more than my income this month (taxes) so I’ll enjoy the time to myself, and try to do a couple of fun things.
Tomorrow and Wednesday [...]

This is my first post from my new laptop.   I researched it most of last week, and picked up the chosen model on Friday.  I’ve spent a good part of the weekend copying files, organizing my docs, tunes, pics, and e-mail. What a pain to move to a new machine, but what a sweet new [...]

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 pills [...]

Life

Sometimes life happens and I don’t have enough energy at the end of the day to write anything but a recap, but I don’t really feel the need to recap everything, so here’s the short list and a new-ish musician that i’ve just discovered:

Barfy cat is barfy again. She’s not as bad as before, but [...]

Toys for Tots

I’m not usually public about the causes that I support. This one is worthy though. If you have a few spare dollars, how about throwing it in for the kids. The link is below, and on the far sidebar over there —>
Help Yourself By Helping Children . . .
The 9th Annual Internet Toy Drive!!
We are [...]

I baked banana bread this morning.  I don’t bake often, but I bought some bananas a few days ago on a whim, ever hopeful that my guts won’t reject them so painfully, but that didn’t happen and Saturday afternoon sucked because of the half banana that I had with lunch. So, it seems the only [...]
