I'm going to blame my lack of energy today on shingles, and try not to do too much of the self-loathing thing. I went to the gym for the first time in a week yesterday, but just had a very easy workout on the elliptical and came home. My plan was to go back today, but that hasn't happened, and is unlikely to at this point. I had an open house this ( Read more... )

As per my deal with myself, I am up early and working today. No nap until later. Maybe no nap at all! (But yes, nap later.)

For my first act, I present the blog I wrote for my real estate website about clear woodI was going to do some Ubering in the mornings, but I want to be sure the puke smell is fully out of my car before I do that again. My ( Read more... )

Real estate is moving so slowly for me this year. Last year I sort of just lucked into a lot of good client situations. This year I have things going on, but nothing has closed yet and it's all moving at a snail's pace. I've had one short sale deal pending for six months now. I have a handful of clients in the "I'll be ready really soon" stages. I ( Read more... )

I'm hosting trivia tonight on my own for the first time. Technically I'm still in training and I will have an experienced host there to supervise me, but I'm supposed to manage it from start to finish on my own. I'm psyched! I hosted a few rounds last week and unsurprisingly hated the way I sounded on the mic, but the folks who were there said I ( Read more... )

I'm in a bout of depression. It's not a terrible one, but it is interfering in some things I need to do. This is the primary manifestation of the illness in me, actually. I just don't do things that I need to, for no good reason ( Read more... )

I've been really absent from here for a lot of reasons. One, I'm really busy all the time lately. I don't spend much leisure time on my computer anymore. Two, I've been depressed and one of the manifestations of that depression is neglecting this community that is really important to me. I'm sorry. I don't mean to do that. Thank you to Michelle for ( Read more... )

Real estate is taking up just about every free waking moment I've had lately, as well as a lot of moments I'd prefer not to be waking. But it's good! It's just busy. I'm getting better at organizing my to-do lists and all my time, but it's a challenge ( Read more... )

I mentioned before that I don't like the idea of resolutions -- you should try to better yourself whenever you can, not just because the calendar says it's time. That said, a lot of changes I'm trying to make sort of line up with the turning of the calendar, so, what the hell, my New Year's resolutions for 2015 ( Read more... )

This is the phone call I just had ( Read more... )
