Sinus Infections
I’m currently sick with a sinus infection. While I’m unhappy that I’m still sick, I’m still kind of okay with it.
Let me give you some of my history with sinus infections.
Back in April of 2004, I came down with a sinus infection.…
Silver Linings
I’ve read more than account by people saying things like, “Sure, that was the most difficult/challenging/awful time of my life, but now, I’m grateful for it!”
I kept thinking that there was something wrong with me, because I didn’t feel that way about last year.…
Affirmations
In May, I began doing what I’ve been calling my Ten at Ten. Basically, ten affirmations at ten AM every day.
I know that for some people, daily affirmations are a cop-out. They say the words, but never honestly follow up on doing the things.…
More of That Stress Thang
It’s been about a month since I last talked about the work I’m doing regarding lowering my stress levels, so I thought I’d report in.
I had a couple of bad weeks, where I felt as though I was losing ground in terms of the work I’d done.…
PSA–Meat
If you eat meat, read on! If you don’t, just pass on by.

Or, more appropriately, Being Free From Caffeine.

This was probably one of the smarter decisions of my life.…
Essay – Change, the Only Constant
Essay – Change, The Only Constant
As I grow older (not about to claim that I’m wiser) I keep coming back to the idea that change is the only constant.
I know, I know. Sounds like a fucking cliché. (And I’m going to apologize in advance for my language.…
Another Achievement!
So…this landmark occurred. I’m kind of tickled by it. While I’ve used the occasional streak freeze, I haven’t used them very often. No, I’ve done the work, despite sickness, power outages, and travel.
I’ve been studying Spanish for about 500 days.…
End of the Year
I was fairly emotional the couple of weeks before Christmas. There was the anniversary of my kitty’s death, which made me feel mournful. There was my birthday, which made me feel a bit older. There was a meeting with members of my family, which wasn’t as stressful as it could have been, mainly because I’ve changed my approach.…
Moahr Art
I’ve been trying to play fewer games on my phone, do other things in the evening instead of staring at it. My goal is also to have my place a little darker at night. I’m experimenting with less light at night, to see if that will help with my sleep.…
