I've got vacation coming up (YAY!), and I'm already making plans for it. Last vacation was very social, and while I assume that I'll see some friends, this is more of a get things done vacation. I've already got plans to reorganize the kitchen, basement, and garage, plant the vegetable garden, mulch the yard, etc.… Continue reading Big plans
Week in Review – 05.16.2021
Another week down the drain. It wasn't a bad week - not by a long shot (hey, I had a three day weekend which is unheard of in my business unless you requested it off, which I didn't). It was busy, there was a lot of stuff going on at both home and work. The… Continue reading Week in Review – 05.16.2021
Fear
I know a person that is literally scared of everything - to the point where they're afraid to be alone in case something catastrophic happens. When they Mayan calendar-world ending was a thing, they wanted everyone in their family to take off of work and school for the day and everyone come to the house… Continue reading Fear
I took some me time
Hi again. It's been what, almost a week since I posted? Last week was just nothing but grief. Some days were better than others, but the bad days were just bad. This week has been better. I'm still sad, but it's not the all-consuming sorrow that it was last week. I picked up Peeps's remains… Continue reading I took some me time
Blame and grief
I'm just going to say it - I blame myself for Peepers's death. I should have noticed earlier that something wasn't right. I should have taken him to the emergency vet on Saturday, or at least on Sunday night. I shouldn't have waited so long to get him in to see someone. Maybe if I… Continue reading Blame and grief
Gutted
We lost Mr. Peepers in the early hours of the morning. He was relatively fine yesterday, despite the cold-like symptoms, and then quickly went downhill late last night. By the time we got him to the emergency vet, his symptoms were so broad and numerous and he was so unstable that they couldn't even begin… Continue reading Gutted
Hit a personal best last night
Went to the gym last night, bound and determined to push myself and see what I could do at max effort. Guys - I ran a 15 minute mile. I pushed myself hard for that 15 minutes, and I managed to do it. The second 15 weren't as great, but still good Another 0.8 mi.… Continue reading Hit a personal best last night
Week in Review – 05.02.2021
Sometimes I wonder if these WIRs have a point. I mean, I blog three times a week, often about what's currently happening. Sure, occasionally they get me to reflect on something that's happened, but... I don't know. Not a whole lot happened last week. But let's get into what did. One of the cats is… Continue reading Week in Review – 05.02.2021
In the words of Rob Thomas, “It’s been a long day”
I worked a 10 today. I honestly don't know how I worked 12 hour shifts for six and a half years, because I'm beat. I'll be going to bed early tonight thankyouverymuch. I owed a little bit of time from taking off early in the week for my therapist appointment, so I figured I'd tack… Continue reading In the words of Rob Thomas, “It’s been a long day”
New therapist, who dis?
I had my first appointment with the new therapist yesterday. It well. So far I feel like we're going to jive. One thing we talked about at length was the work it took to shake off my family's expectations and the conditioning that I grew up with. Because at the end of the day, that's… Continue reading New therapist, who dis?
