I’ve been having some issues in the mornings. It’s one of the dietary changes I was alluding to earlier. For at least a year, I’ve only had my tea in the morning. Now, by “only” tea, I do mean tea that has both coconut oil as well as coconut milk in it. So I’m still […]

Woke up this morning and could hear robins singing. Kind of made my heart sing as well. There were also a couple of robins hanging out in the yard earlier. There’s still some snow in the yard, but it really makes me happy that the robins are back.   And speaking of snow, it’s finally

Before I was able to quit the day job, I worked as a technical writer. For decades.   One of the things that the day job instilled in me was the expectation of change every three to four months. I would learn a new technology, or start working on a different product, or even switch

You would think that since I have bad days every month, that as soon as I realize that it is not a good day, that I would automatically switch my thought patterns over to, “Okay, what CAN I do today?” instead of cycling in hard on, “Well, I can’t do this today. Or that. Or

Yesterday, for the first time in gosh, a month, I was able to work outside for a while. I dug some of my plants out from under the snow, freed the two little daffodils. It was glorious. I knew that being able to get outside to do stuff around the property was important to me.

Yesterday, for the first time in a month, I was able to get in my car and go drive someplace on my own. Of course, when I first got in my car it wouldn’t start. Eventually, after about the third try, it finally did. So I took it for a bit of a spin, to

Yesterday, Friday, I felt as though I’d back-slid, in terms of this cold. No brain, more congested, achy, etc. However, this morning (Saturday) I’m felling much better again, probably back to where I was on Thursday morning before I left Las Vegas. I am vaguely optimistic that come Monday, I will be back to writing

I really enjoyed the anthology workshop this year. I worked as one of the editors. One of the reasons why I love doing the anthology workshop is because I always learn so much by going through all the stories. I learn technique as well as honing in on what I read for in X genre.

Traveled to Vegas yesterday. Went to bed last night wondering if that headache of mine was actually going to turn into a migraine or not. Turns out not, as I’m *much* better this morning. Still headachy, rolling into the morning slowly, but not in migraine land, which, yay. It’s been 174 days since my last

I found my keys this morning! They’ve been missing for more than a week. They must have fallen out of my pocket at some point while I was feeding the birds, as I found them sticking up out of the snow under the bird feeder. We had snow between when I lost them and when
