The week was bumpy, but I made it. Some days it's so easy to be paralyzed by the shear volume of everything going on that I never even broach what there is to do. It was a week of lunches with old friends, rebuilding strength, psyching myself up. If I was down on myself for a few hours, it wasn't long before someone called and picked me back up.

The good days continue. Got one of my clients back yesterday when I thought they'd hit the road. The extra money helps, so I just need to make certain they are taken care of them from here on out ( Read more... )

Something I've noticed since I moved back to the district -- four years ago now:

When I lived in Boston and LA, I suppose I hung in some pretentious social circles where everyone wanted to chat up about Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath, and whatever was causing a global deficit. Myself very much included. Maybe it was a relief to come here as a nobody ( Read more... )

only monday and i've picked up two more consulting projects. i'm busy every night this week (friends and networking events), so who knows how i'll handle it. gracefully i hope. without sleep, more than likely.

One of those days. Gathering material for my new website and I find myself perusing old journal entries, thinking about where I was at last year.

It gets old, though. Everyone ( Read more... )

I become hermetic this time of year. It’s a cycle of work, yoga/gym, then sleep. The pot overflows a bit:  Consulting (I'm writing a script now); gift shopping when I can; hunting for a dwelling I won't be able to occupy until February; holiday parties on the weekend; maybe a little eating, too. I've changed my diet and it's quite a nice thing. I ( Read more... )

i can definitely tell the difference in my energy levels when i've taken a few days off the gym. i get mopey or introverted. some kind of good drug, eh ( Read more... )

It was a good couple of weeks. Taking strides to improve things. I got a little sick at the end of this past one, but blame it on the sudden plunge in temperature and a need to spend a weekend hibernating in the house.

Went and saw Miss Rachael Yamagata again on Tuesday night. Got to speak with her for a few after the show. We laughed a little bit ( Read more... )

gays can be so forthright with their feedback. went to a nice, chill party tonight. had a great time, until it came to light that my friends had a great moniker for me for the past year or so: teeth till tuesday.

i am who i am.
