I talked to a friend today, and we got to comparing our weight maintenance/release issues. We’re opposites. She has no problem getting up and outside the house to be active or go to the gym. She walks the dog, goes hiking, rock climbing. On the other hand, there are some days I have to think […]

I had the best forcing function to spruce up our house two days ago. Our carbon monoxide alarm went off at three in the morning, and we knew we had to call someone to come by later and check on our house about the alert. My husband immediately went outside to turn off the water […]

Lately, I’ve been fickle on doing a few activities I’m usually methodical about.

I wrote a haiku during a short online class this morning. My weekend is done.Already, I’m so damn tired.How do I change course? It was only Saturday morning, but I was already feeling the burden of all the things I need to get done this weekend after a busy and exhausting week last week. We […]
