I wrote down my tentative plan and list since I learned last week that if I can't see it, I'll do whatever I feel like in the moment. Lots of gaps, but it's something. At least it's on paper -- and now here. Thank you, readers, for serving as my life coach. I'm sleepy. But … Continue reading Tomorrow’s Plan

Still Plugging Away . . .
I've wanted to post an update, but I've been doing my best to stay focused on my work the past two days. I'll try to sum up the highpoints. The Good: -- I've gotten up every day this week at 5:30 and exercised. This is huge for me -- not so much the exercising but … Continue reading Still Plugging Away . . .
Success? Somewhat, I Think — Minus That One Little Flake
This will have to be quick. I am zonked. I did it. I got up at 5:30, did a little cardio, some weights and cooled down with yoga. It felt amazing. Yes, I'm one of those crazy people who LOVES a good sweaty workout. Getting up with a plan was easy, plus I had made … Continue reading Success? Somewhat, I Think — Minus That One Little Flake
Can I Really Do a 5:30 Wake-up?
My previous post touched on the why. Now I'm going to set my schedule and fill in accordingly. Again, working my stuff out on this blog. The biggie here is that I've reached a point where I do not want to get out of bed in the morning. I think it's a bad case of … Continue reading Can I Really Do a 5:30 Wake-up?
Revamping My Schedule
Prepare yourself, friends. Here comes another I gotta get my life together post. I need accountability and since I have none of that in my real life, I'm using this blog. I'm overwhelmed and at that point where I'm just sitting -- staring at the piles and trying to settle my brain and decide what … Continue reading Revamping My Schedule
Of Course You Can Always Be a Superhero
I began this morning excited about hunkering down once the kids were off to school and working on the numerous writing projects that I have in my head. My excitement quickly faded once I realized that a two-year-old's attention span is better developed than mine. So what did I decide to do? You're looking at … Continue reading Of Course You Can Always Be a Superhero
Awards, Guilt, and Gratitude
As a kid I was told that I had strange reactions to things. I'm not crazy about this label, but it's kind of true. If I bump my head I get angry and have been known to stomp and throw things. A normal reactor would probably cry or at least say that it hurt. I … Continue reading Awards, Guilt, and Gratitude
Robin Williams, You Will Be Missed
I’m in a weird space since learning of the passing of our beloved Robin Williams. I'm not someone who knows the details of the latest movie or television show. I rarely watch TV and though I like a good movie, I wouldn’t consider regular outings to the movie theater one of my favorite pastimes. I’ve … Continue reading Robin Williams, You Will Be Missed
Tales From the Teen Years: The Waterbed
I rarely do these, but today it felt right. The following is my response to The Daily Prompt, because didn't every girl who grew up in the eighties want a waterbed? “You absolutely can not have a waterbed, and I don’t want to hear another word about it.” I had received my father’s ultimatum, and … Continue reading Tales From the Teen Years: The Waterbed
Toss Five and Put Away Ten
So...in an effort to get more organized as well as prepare to move in the next year, I'm employing this daily strategy. I like that it's catchy, memorable, and seems simple enough even for my disorganized, live-in-the-moment crowd.
