HOT
It’s hot. And our air conditioning hasn’t been serviced yet, so we are sweltering. The highs are in the upper 80s and the lows are in the upper 70s right now, and no break in sight. I bought some fans yesterday, three small high-velocity fans, and an oscillating tower fan. Keeping the living room and […]
Tired Today
I didn’t want to get out of bed when the alarm went off this morning. I don’t know why. I went to bed early, because I was completely exhausted. I tucked the kids into bed at 8:45 and myself at 9:15. I woke up at 4:45, did the bathroom — kitchen jaunt, and went back […]
Depressed
This is turning out to be a pretty unpleasant week. I didn’t sleep well Sunday night or Monday night … partly because it’s so very hot, and partly because the offspring keep coming in to tell me they’re having nightmares. Tomorrow I have to go to the doctor, and I know he’s going to make […]
Cutting It Short
I think I’m going to come off of the Lemonade Diet after today. Today is day ten, and that’s the minimum number of days. I had hoped to be able to go to the maximum of forty days. But, while I have had no physical problems at all, I have been fighting a battle with […]
Phasing Back Into Food
Well, I made my decision this morning. I’m going to phase out of the cleanse/fast starting this afternoon. I’m kind of disappointed, but it’s becoming stressful to stay on the fast, and that will negate much of the good that I have achieved. There’s no point in continuing if I’m going to be miserable for […]
Why Is It That…
Things always pile up? I have managed, once again, to plan a completely full weekend with no rest in sight. A not-good thing, especially as this is my weekend with the kidlings. I have to take my son to get his picture made tomorrow, and then a dear friend is getting married in a city […]
LAID OFF!
Well, today just plain royally stank. Work was rotten, and to cap it all off, at the end of the day they called me into the office and told me they were doing away with my position. Two weeks of severance. Clean out your desk and don’t come back Monday. And on the way home, […]
I’m Bummed … And I’m Down on Cops at the Moment
Here’s the deal. Yesterday, my dryer blew a fuse. This is a normal occurence. My (clothes) dryer blows at least one fuse a week, sometimes five or six. I went to replace the fuse and found that the bottom part of the fuse had fused itself to the contact at the back of the electrical […]
I Hate Weekends
I know that sounds really insane, but I always seem to be more tired—no, more exhausted—on the weekends than during the work week. It’s not that I don’t work hard at my job; I do. But somehow it doesn’t generally drain my every physical, mental, and spiritual reserve like the weekends do. Probably I expect […]
