I started back at work yesterday. Working from home but still working. I got stuff done, so not a bad day. But winding down is always tough. I'll go into the office tomorrow. I have a 7:30 demo to do and want to have a T1 line not a cable modem. It may not matter, but it will matter to me. Plus, it means that after tomorrow, I won't have the laptop ( Read more... )

I had yogurt tonight. Very exciting. It tasted good. I'm not hungry. I'm head-hungry, but not body hungry. I am not sure if 4 tablespoons were too much. I mean, we're supposed to listen to our bodies but mine isn't telling me anything besides I'm bloated from all the CO2 pumped into my midsection. I also drove today. I'm not crazy about going over ( Read more... )

I got home yesterday around noon. I am glad I stayed over. First because I needed the time at work. I would have had to leave at 3 and we needed that hour and a half more. Frankly, I should have stayed through Friday but I have plans tonight and I didn't want to risk not being able to get home! Dinner Thursday night, at the St. Paul Grille, was ( Read more... )

Once again, in 2 short years, I'm changing my entire life. Two years ago I would have told you how much I hate change. Now it seems that I can't avoid it ( Read more... )

Last night was my second symphony concert. Beethoven's 7th was the big draw but there were two other pieces performed as well. I was especially excited about this concert because Keith Lockhart was the conductor. He's the conductor of the Boston Pops but I could never afford those tickets. We were practically on top of him. He's adorable. It was ( Read more... )

I woke up on the wrong side of bed this morning. It wasn't exactly a bad mood, more impotent. I woke up feeling not in control. Which is patently absurd. I think it was the combination of work-related issues, work uncertainty and, interesting enough, weather issues. We had high winds yesterday. This was an understatement. Wind scares me more here ( Read more... )

5 days into November and I already missed one day of writing something. I was too tired last night. Not that I slept well. I had some marvelous decaf coffee at the restaurant and I am sure that made all the wrong difference.

I did finish a baby bib yesterday morning. And a lousy movie - The Long Kiss Goodnight with Geena Davis. The movie had its ( Read more... )

Today was a terribly unfocused day. I'm disappointed in myself. I couldn't settle down. Wasted hours that could have been spent more productively ( Read more... )

I head back to SLC tomorrow afternoon. I'm not going into the office in the morning. I'll just work from the hotel. It's been a good business trip. I'll be back the week after Thanksgiving. Right before I go to Las Vegas. A continual motion of packing and unpacking and repacking. No wonder I never get to put this suitcase away! I'm taking some ( Read more... )

Tomorrow begins NaNoWriMo. Although I registered it has become abundantly clear that there is just no way. Too many business trips, too much going on. It sounds like procrastination and it probably is. What I've decided to do instead is simply do some sort of writing each day. It could be a journal entry, a review, a letter to a friend, a drabble, ( Read more... )
