Trials and Tribulations, or why can’t Val update a blog on a regular basis?
Posted on June 10, 2015
Of course, this could be titled “Why can’t Val do anything on a regular basis?” I seem to have issues with regularity, and I wonder why. It could be that somewhere in my dim, distant past, something linked “a regular routine” with “boring” and I HATE boring with a fiery passion. And yes, I …

(writing/to-do/health) Thoughts on the eve of a long weekend
Posted on May 22, 2013
So, I’ve been back to work on the Day Job for three half-days. Today, I’m exhausted (although I don’t know if it’s because of the two hours at the dentist today to repair a broken tooth or just low stamina), but I have the next FIVE days off, so I’ll be able to sleep in, …

Posted on April 7, 2013
Yesterday was the day I ran my first solo 5k. I did run about half of it – walked the other half, but that is fine. My time was 1.05.56 – better than the last race (I think we were at 1.30 or something), and I was able to run across the finish line. More …

(personal/to-do) Recovery day
Posted on January 6, 2013
So yeah, lost most of the weekend recovering from the flu that’s going around work. Call centers are petri dishes, you know? I was feeling crappy on Thursday – by Friday, I knew I was sick. Spent all Saturday asleep, and am finally starting to feel better. However, I know better than to push it. …
Sunday is made for Chex Mix!!!
Posted on October 21, 2012
And writing. And laundry. And cooking. It’s one of those days. I need to write today – I’ve got two blog posts I need to write, as well as the outline for NaNoWriMo. I also need to answer email, and make food for what is going to be a busy week. And there’s almost no …
