Well, this one is almost me today this month, except substitute the words "time for a book" for "TV" and "time for sleep" for "beer" and I'd have to say we're damned close. I haven't had the chance to enjoy kickboxing in weeks, and I'm sure there are some at the mats who wonder if … Continue reading Putting all you enjoy on the back-burner because of work…

I might have accidentally done something stupid that could curb my junk cravings (hopefully for good)…
After being sick for three days, eating mostly Ramen soup and drinking my weight in tea (and honey, until my throat felt better), let's just say I was itching for something a bit more normal to me. Of course, by "normal" that unfortunately means junk food and sweets more than anything else. I had to … Continue reading I might have accidentally done something stupid that could curb my junk cravings (hopefully for good)…
Prediabetes for Dummies, by Alan L. Rubin, MD
My Copy: 9780470523018 (image from bn.com) Well, when you have to try and take care of yourself better, but don't want to rely on family scare tactics or a diagnosis that doesn't tell you much about what to expect or do, then this is a great book to use. It's pretty self-explanatory as far as … Continue reading Prediabetes for Dummies, by Alan L. Rubin, MD
Q#121–Where’s the line between Multi-Level Marketing & a Pyramid Scheme?
Over the years, I've seen a lot of "opportunities" on the web and on TV that have made me just paranoid by reflex. I never have gotten into home distribution or some marketing opportunity, though I've had others try to get me into them. As far as I know, nobody is trying to get to … Continue reading Q#121–Where’s the line between Multi-Level Marketing & a Pyramid Scheme?
When you finally get a break from the fight… & end up sick.
I guess this was the logical conclusion to running on nothing but junk food and caffeine for several days on end, working open to close four days in a row. I wasn't supposed to go back in until two this afternoon, but when I woke up this morning, I went from a slight bit of … Continue reading When you finally get a break from the fight… & end up sick.
Fighting the Fog, part 2…
I thought I was in the clear. After working in the morning and a short detour to try and relax (it didn't work because I didn't have much time, and a lengthy phone call about practically nothing from mom that I still don't get), I set off for the offsite job. At least the traffic … Continue reading Fighting the Fog, part 2…
Fighting the fog…
I was hoping when I got home tonight I'd have some time to cook or clean, or just finish one of the books I've been trying to finish for weeks. But now I sit here, an inch away from falling asleep, after working a near 12 hour shift because nobody else could work. And because … Continue reading Fighting the fog…
Time management vs. what you want to do most…
Why I'm not sitting here listening to "Time" from The Dark Side of the Moon album on repeat makes me wonder. When things are bombarding me right and left, for some reason, that's the song I play the most. Work has been insane. One co-worker got strep throat and couldn't work one morning, so I … Continue reading Time management vs. what you want to do most…
Beginning “The Artist’s Way” morning pages… again.
I've lost count how many times I've started this 12 week program, only to stop around week 4 or 5 (I made it to week 8 at one point. It's not like it's a crazy boot camp or anything like that. Rather, it's that even though I wanted my creativity to flourish and take over, … Continue reading Beginning “The Artist’s Way” morning pages… again.
Q#120–Why are a lot of Americans squeamish about moms breast-feeding babies in public?
At least, it sure seems that way in the media, but the more I read, the more it's about 50/50 in negative and positive coverage and reactions. This is something I can't understand, because you have to feed the baby when it's hungry, and breastfeeding is one way to do it. In the evolutionary sense, … Continue reading Q#120–Why are a lot of Americans squeamish about moms breast-feeding babies in public?
