Vacation, writing, chores

I’m on a little bitty vacation right now.  I go back to work on Friday (weird, I know, but with the work schedule I keep, that’s the best way to do it), so I’ve got a few days to get a bit done, caught up on, started… As I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve [...]

The long and winding road to fitness, day 98

My last day off work, darn it!  It didn’t seem like I had much of a vacation this time, between doctor’s visits and going to the bmv, working one of the days I scheduled off so I could be there for that wonderful corporate visit, then yesterday’s headache..well, I didn’t have time to do much [...]

The long and winding road to fitness, day 86

Same song, different day…worked 12 hours today…went in at 5 am, left at 5 pm…and still didn’t manage to get all the things done that I wanted/needed to get done.  Thank goodness I have tomorrow off.  I’m going to sleep in…at least until 6 am!   Hey, after the past couple of weeks of going in [...]

The long and winding road to fitness, day 85

Whew!!  Another exhausting day at work.  We went in at 5 am and I left at 4:30 this afternoon.  Going back in at 5 tomorrow.  I’m hoping to be out of there a little earlier tomorrow.  Maybe do a little grocery shopping so I don’t have to go out and do it on my day [...]

Break room etiquette

If you work outside the home and share a break room with your co-workers, there are a few simple rules of etiquette that you (and they) should follow to make your breaks more enjoyable. 1. Clean up after yourself.  Now wouldn’t you think that everyone would understand this one?  Apparently there are a lot of [...]

The long and winding road to fitness, day 78

This was such a pleasant day today.  I woke up to a light rain, something we really need.  I went downstairs, got the newspaper, fed the cats, made breakfast for myself, then took my breakfast and the newspaper upstairs and sat in bed, propped up with my pillows,  eating breakfast while reading the paper.  Ahh…how [...]

The long and winding road to fitness, day 73

I’m feeling pretty good tonight considering I worked all day, couldn’t seem to get anything done, went to bed way too late last night (those crazy housewives of New Jersey…why do I watch them?), and ripped my pants this morning at work.  Go ahead, laugh.  I can take it.  I know everyone needs a good [...]

The long and winding road to fitness, day 58

Wow…58 days.  And today was a good one.  I ate a lot of fruit and veggies today, took my lunch and snacks to work, had fish and corn on the cob for dinner..yum!  And work was fine…I was a little tired…had my alarm set for 3:50 am (had to be at work at 5 am), [...]

The long and winding road to fitness, day 54

It was so nice to be able to sleep with the windows open last night.  I was actually cold, in August, in Indiana!  I wore long sleeves when I went out for my walk this morning, probably could have done without that, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.  It just looks like [...]

The long and winding road to fitness, day 53

This was another very pleasant day.  I was able to get outside early and take a long walk, stopping to take a few pictures of the early morning sky as I walked along. There’s just something about being out early enough to see a beautiful sunrise that makes the rest of your day better. In addition [...]
