On March 1, I said I wanted to lose 6 lbs by the end of the month. In the first week, I went to my Remicade treatment, and the scale read 310 lbs. So I needed 10 lbs to get under 300, which was my first weight loss goal of the season. …

(personal/writing/depression) It’s been a long winter.
Posted on March 1, 2015
I know, it’s still a long way until spring, but seriously, I feel like I’m trapped in George RR Martin’s Game of Thrones world. Between the depression and the SAD and the god-awful snow (seriously, there’s been like 60 inches of snow in the past month!), I feel like I’m smothered in cotton. So what …
(writing/personal) The first blog post of the new year
Posted on January 3, 2015
Happy New Year, everyone! Sorry I disappeared after the end of Advent – the holidays overwhelmed me, and I just couldn’t bring myself to write, never mind blog. But I hope everyone enjoyed this year’s Advent, and I promise, it’s not the last. For those who may not know (I know I have …
(personal) Upheavals and changes
Posted on June 7, 2014
I love summer. I love getting out in the sun, swimming, picking berries, going to farmer’s markets, reading on the beach, camping, summer events…. summer is my favorite time of year. It’s what I look forward to all year. I do NOT want to spend my summer on crutches with this knee of mine. …
(personal/writing) Yeah, I know, I know…
Posted on May 14, 2014
What can I say? I’ve had a bad winter, and I haven’t been keeping this up. There have been some personal things going on that I want to keep personal, but that have kept me from updating this, or writing a lot, or really doing anything other than going to work, eating and sleeping for …
(personal/writing) Blowing off the winter dust
Posted on April 21, 2014
You know, it’s been a LONG winter. Maybe not GRRM long, but longer than I wanted. Much longer than I wanted. But it’s finally warm out. The snow is gone and there is music in the morning when I go out. I’m still adjusting to my work schedule, but it’s getting easier. I’m not …
(writing/personal) A new week, a new season, a new start
Posted on March 24, 2014
Theoretically, it is now spring. *pauses for a look at the snowbanks outside* Theoretically, it’s going to start getting warm any day now. Too bad no one told Mother Nature that. Apparently, whoever was supposed to get her a calendar for Yule forgot. All I know is that it wasn’t me this year. I’ve …
(health/personal) Happy first day of Spring!
Posted on March 20, 2014
To celebrate, I got up early and christened my new swimsuit at the Y. It felt SO good to be swimming, in a swimsuit that FIT and didn’t feel like I was going to have a wardrobe malfunction if I breathed wrong. (I really needed a new swimsuit, let me tell you.) And it felt …
(writing/personal) Monday, my old enemy, we meet again.
Posted on March 3, 2014
I’m trying really hard to keep updating this blog. I feel bad that it seems to be only on Mondays – I promise, I will get onto more of a schedule soon. Life has just been…well, life, lately. Hubby is still job hunting, and any good thoughts (or job prospects!) that you folks can …
