Back at it

I went back to work yesterday. It was the shortest two weeks ever. Why do vacations seem to fly by? Oh well, it was nice to be off. I needed the break. I didn't do as much writing as I thought I would. I write one chapter and started another. I didn't read a lot … Continue reading Back at it →

Trade offs

It’s 3:15 am (the second time I have been up tonight). I never sleep through the night any more. Because of the one medication I take, I have to stay hydrated for it to work correctly.

This past weekend

It was an emotionally rough weekend. I drank and ate way too much. I have been trying since Christmas to lose weight. This past weekend I tossed this out the door.
