I got out the door late today, which kind of threw the whole day off for me. Since I was too busy watching a movie with Annika last night, I didn't get any work done last night, so I was kind of frazzled today. So I stayed late to work at school and just sort … Continue reading October 23: Productive, but boring day

October 22: Spirited A-what?
I can do a bunch of stuff over a weekend and still be behind. Today reminded me of that at school. So I came home, had dinner, and when Annika started asking about going shopping, I said "how about movie Monday?" I was thinking that I could clean out my backpack, maybe get a couple … Continue reading October 22: Spirited A-what?
October 21: Goodbye, long weekend.
I'm sad the long weekend is coming to a close. I feel like it was balanced nicely: MEA conference on Thursday, Lora's birthday on Friday, work at school and dinner with my son on Saturday, and self-care Sunday. Today I slept in, then picked up a few groceries before making bean chili soup for lunches … Continue reading October 21: Goodbye, long weekend.
October 20: Ghosts
I have a terrible fascination with horror films, but I can't watch them. Seriously - I just leave or watch through my fingers/from behind Dak's shoulder. I have always been particularly scared of/fascinated by ghosts and the paranormal. Maybe it was Poltergeist (the first real ghost movie I watched), maybe it was just the general … Continue reading October 20: Ghosts
October 19: Fifth uninspired day? Hmm.
I haven't been especially inspired to write in 5 Days now. Part of the problem is that I'm sleepy at the end of the day and can't think of anything. Another reason might be that I've been really busy during the day so I'm out of energy by the end. Finally, I'm too easily distracted, … Continue reading October 19: Fifth uninspired day? Hmm.
October 18: relaxing
Today I slept in until 10:30. I haven't done that in ages and it felt really good. Then I ate kind of badly today and went way over my allotted food portions, even though I tried to stay healthy. I ate some rice today and it was filling. So tonight I feel hungry and icky … Continue reading October 18: relaxing
October 17: time off – sleepy
We finally have a longer weekend and I'm totally ready for it. I am actually already half asleep in bed as I write. Better than not writing. I didn't write earlier because I got sucked down the Internet vortex of information. This time, the subject was restaurant food: which ones are healthier and which ones … Continue reading October 17: time off – sleepy
October 16: 2nd day of “blah”
Here I am, another uninspired day. I'm having trouble breathing through my nose, so my throat hurts and my lips are chapped. The dog is curled up next to me and his tummy is gurgling like crazy, which makes me stressed out because last time that happened, he was up at 2 am barfing. The … Continue reading October 16: 2nd day of “blah”
October 15: whirling ideas
Some of the toughest things about writing every day are days like today when I am not totally sure what I want to write about, and I don't want to start in on something I've been writing about lately for fear of boring my tens of readers. I could write about how I ate some … Continue reading October 15: whirling ideas
October 14: feeling better
I felt terrible last night, but I was a lot more careful about my diet today so I felt a lot better today. Since I started watching my food choices more closely, I've lost maybe 18 pounds or so, but what's been really weird is how it's changed how I feel and what I crave. … Continue reading October 14: feeling better
