My throat hurts. I'm tired. I am sniffly and stuffy. I'm not in any shape to think straight or write coherently. It's supposed to snow again. Some models are saying a lot. If I wasn't sick feeling, I might be more upbeat about it, but I feel crappy, so I just want to eat deep … Continue reading April 11: Sick again. Snow again. Whatever.

March 30: Release
Today I began to realize how anxiety-ridden I have been for so long when my body seemed to release some of it today (that, or I'm getting sick again?). I haven't been able to fully wake up today, I've been a little dizzy when I do get up, and my entire gastrointestinal system is a … Continue reading March 30: Release
March 25: Sunday Night Blues
I could really use another day in the weekend. Saturday was too full of things. I am not stressing out with the pit in my stomach the way I used to, but I have to admit, I have the Sunday night blues tonight. I'm avoiding going to bed because I want to stall. I'm reading … Continue reading March 25: Sunday Night Blues
Friday, March 23: Writing through it
If there was any day that I really didn't want to write, today was it. I stayed at work late setting up some really cool stuff for next week, then Annika and I went out for supper and went to the play at the school together (Willy Wonka - it was really fun). We got … Continue reading Friday, March 23: Writing through it
March 17: Police on St. Patrick’s Day
So last night was one of the weirdest nights of my life. For those who don't know, here is the FB post I wrote just after the police left and we went back to bed. I was too awake to sleep, but writing it down helped: Just a few minutes ago, I woke up to … Continue reading March 17: Police on St. Patrick’s Day
March 5: I know, it could be worse…
I cannot get a break, even though it's supposed to be spring break. First, all the schools got snow days, but not me, because I'm already on break. The kids got snow days. But no one told Annika, so she woke me up at 8 a.m. to get her breakfast, so I got up and … Continue reading March 5: I know, it could be worse…
March 4: Snow Days for Spring Break
One of my favorite memories of being a kid was waking up on a really snowy day and wondering if we'd have a snow day. My sister and I would huddle in my mom's room, listening to WCCO AM radio as they listed off the school closings between weather updates and commercials. When there were … Continue reading March 4: Snow Days for Spring Break
March 3: Spring Break
It's spring break. It doesn't feel like spring break because I have a lot of work still to do and it's snowy and still pretty cold. However I did sleep in very late and went to see The Black Panther finally. I loved it. I'm still thinking a lot about it, but I'm going to … Continue reading March 3: Spring Break
March 1: The Problem With Writing At Night
Today, I have written every single day for two months. I am 1/6 of the way through the year (I know February has fewer days, but let me have this one). It might be the most committed I've ever been to a project that requires sustained daily effort. I mean, aside from taking care of … Continue reading March 1: The Problem With Writing At Night
February 26: Sympathy Pains
I was all in bed, nice and early, ready to read a little and do my writing when I started hearing crying coming from the bathroom area. Annika wasn't feeling well. She wanted me. I went, of course. I couldn't not. The problem is, the one illness I can't actually deal with very well is … Continue reading February 26: Sympathy Pains
