It's been two weeks since my last day at Wild Rose. I've gained a few pounds, as well as a few inches of squishiness around my waist - I'm used to being on my week 8-10 hours a day! And I really haven't done much with my time off. I was sooooo excited for it, but somehow fell off that wagon and am only now clambering back on ( Read more... )

Aaaaaah 2014. I've felt some of the weight has lifted already. December was crazy and stressful, mostly work-induced. Christmas was difficult as yet another wave of ended-relationship misery crashed into me. But January appeared with glittering hoarfrost on the trees and suddenly everything seems a bit more sparkly and easier to manage. Strange, ( Read more... )

A lot of serendipity has been occurring in my life this week. Meeting Gabe who gave me the gift of Marcus Aurelius and conversation. Talking with Kevin, with whom I'm sharing understanding and connection. Tonight Ashlea and I watched a documentary suggested to her by her boss (Shayne) called "I Am" and it blew my mind wide open - it's everything I ( Read more... )

I only had one person show up to class last night. Mike has started moving stuff out and it feels like a punch in the gut. He and I spent hours last night wrapped in each others arms, crying our faces off. It was our last night together ( Read more... )

Maclean and I broke up this morning. Really for reals broke up. I went, "I think it's time," and he replied, "Ok." And that was kind of that ( Read more... )

Mike and I went to counseling tonight. There's a first time for everything, I suppose. It was..... ok. Pretty much what I expected, I guess. It didn't dredge up anything that he and I haven't hashed out before, and there wasn't really much progress, but I suppose that comes with time. What did surprise me was the fact that afterwards Mike was all ( Read more... )

I keep telling myself I'm going to organize my time, focus, get motivated again, and GET STUFF DONE. I was on such a great streak for awhile there, then I took a "break" and haven't gotten back on path. I want to, I really really REALLY do, but the days slip by so quickly, and they all seem so full. I rarely even feel guilty for wasting time, I'm ( Read more... )
