I’m feeling a little more in control today. I don’t want to blame my hormones, but they really do make things more complicated. At this point my goal is to make it through an entire day without crying. So far, so good. Part of that control stems from some changes at work. Instead of being [...]
The lunch with my coworkers at Flatbread that I had been looking forward to for almost a week has arrived. And now I don’t want to go. I love Flatbread pizza. I really enjoy spending time with my coworkers. But I’m not sure I can hold it together long enough to have lunch in a [...]
I signed up to get access to the “free” gym at work almost a year ago but I never made it over, even to check it out, until last night. I’ve had my gym bag sitting at my desk or in my car for two weeks now, just waiting for me to use it. And [...]
I’m feeling extremely restless today, like I’m being forced to live in slow motion. I can’t move fast enough to keep up with my racing thoughts. I’m growing impatient as the day wears on, with myself and the rest of the snail’s pace world. Ordinarily I like things to move slowly so that I have [...]
I’m chronically late to most everything in my life. Mostly it doesn’t bother me. Except when I’m nearly two hours late leaving work…
I attended a training session about negotiating last Friday in hopes of learning new skills to use in the increasing number of contract negotiations I’m responsible for. I know that I’m not entirely comfortable in negotiations of any kind. At the outset of the class the instructor reminded us that negotiations are everywhere and asked [...]
After months of hemming and hawing, Jon and I finally admitted that we couldn’t wait any longer to get a new sofa. My beloved salvation army find is deteriorating at an alarming rate since removing the slip cover. It’s really too big to fit most standard slip covers and the custom covers I wanted never [...]
I was tagged by Gillian, the queen of pet peeves. And I’m really only doing this to take a break from what feels like non-stop work. List and describe as many of your pet peeves as you can then tag someone for every pet peeve just to annoy them: Tags sticking out of other people’s [...]
I’m not one to call in sick on a snowy day, but I did yesterday. Jon and I picked up food poisoning or a stomach bug this weekend, making for a miserable Sunday and Monday. He made it to work on Monday morning, but he wasn’t up most of Sunday night with stomach cramps. I [...]
Before the weather turns appropriately cold again, I thought it was worth noting that for the last two days it has felt more like spring than the dead of winter here in New England. Highs 62 yesterday and 67 on Tuesday. Today won’t make it out of the 50s, but even that feels pretty warm [...]
