My Copy: 9780425213575 (image from bn.com) I skipped this book to the head of the line when I was about to go to the hospital for scoping procedures and knew my eating habits would need to be changed. I've been wanting to do so, but this book had some great wake-up calls and reminders to … Continue reading Sugar Shock!: How sweets & simple carbs can derail your life–& how you can get back on track, by Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. & Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D.
This is super early and I know more details will come, but I already know I'm most definitely not leaving the house much if at all the next few weeks. By this weekend, the brushfire's gonna sweep the country. And I'm in the Bible Belt. Okay, Big Thing in the Sky, could you knock some … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving… & now for some WTF from our new Supreme Court.
I'm checking the weather report about tomorrow. My dogs had some "pup-kin pie," the filling that didn't fit in the pie shells that I poured into Pyrex bowls to cook separately (they were so happy). I'd planned to make baked potatoes for over a week and had some veggies I needed to use up, so … Continue reading Thanksgiving 2020 plans; or, it’s a Thursday that happens to feature turkey or ham…
There's always that weakness that you don't know is a weakness until you're sitting there going, "oh, hell--did I REALLY just do that AGAIN?" In my case, that's pizza. There are other foods that I ingest that don't know the meaning of the word "moderation", but pizza is the big one. I think it's all … Continue reading I need to divorce pizza & learn to never let it back in the door…
This was something I'd been itching to do. I believe it's the third day now, and if that's the case, then it should be easier to keep this habit going from here on out... long as I'm consistent on my new schedule. I'm doing myself some favors in this exercise plan by not going overboard … Continue reading Jumped on the exercise train… again. Some harsh & enlightening lessons are coming out of it.
It's been a doozy of a week, good and not so good stuff. I've been tired as hell and trying to get things put together and educate myself. All in all, if you asked me what the heck I actually did, I couldn't tell you much. But with more stories about infection rates spiking, restrictions … Continue reading Blitz Q #148: Where the hell did we go so wrong with basic consideration of others (re: masks) in the U.S.A.?
I don't remember where the idea came from or why it had to hit me so hard. Maybe it was the exhaustion of the past few days. Maybe I saw an advertisement or old video that talked about planting trees and conservation efforts and the like. All I know is I re-joined the Arbor Day … Continue reading My stress-buying tendencies are the worst… but maybe something good will come from this online trip.
I had been up since 3am yesterday because after Dump returned to the White House from the hospital and promptly took his mask off, I was just livid and it wouldn't let me sleep. And then the pictures of him going around without a mask, and then making that "don't worry" video... Yeah, let's just … Continue reading I had to rein in my anger at Dump yesterday after the incomparable Beau reminded me of something…
I should probably shave my head again. Every morning when I look in the mirror, it's grayer and grayer. It'll probably be full gray by the time the damned polls close. I feel like I should've been a mental gymnast to try and get what the hell was going on with Dump the past few … Continue reading I’m worn out. This president has pushed my mind to the raggedy edge
If a group of scientists came out and said that millions of Americans were suffering PTSD from surviving 2020 (so far), that wouldn't surprise me a bit. Each day I see more posts about trying to be positive or do something, or posts about having difficulty dealing with what was going on lately. For myself, … Continue reading The months of This American Madness have robbed me of my mind…
