It simply slipped away…and I didn’t get near done what I needed to.
I did my billing.  I cooked dinner.  I still needed to do laundry and other things.
I got distracted with ATG and the mid-issue update.

Wednesday can only be described in one way:  brutal.
Simply one of the longest days in….forever.
’nuff said.

On average, I don’t sleep well in hotels.  Considering I spend one to three nights a week in a hotel on avearge, that kind of sucks.  Last night, I finally fell asleep about 1:15 AM. 
At 1:25, I got as text from my oldest that she was puking again.  And another text at 2:20 telling me [...]

I’m at the Admiral’s Club this morning….first time I’ve been here in ages - not because of lack of traveling - just because I wasn’t going to walk 20 gates down just to relax for ten minutes
I am feeling quite a bit better today….I got the tree up yesterday and the only ornaments on [...]

One thing I had decided when I started re-blogging was that I was just going to go with the stream-of-consciousness writing here. I blog in another place that has to be polished -and any other writing I do, besides quickie emails - has to be polished. But damn. I need to write [...]

i headed to the gym yesterday….which is a good thing ’cause I haven’t been in forever and ever and ever. I am so out of shape. I lasted about 15 minutes on the treadmill (running 5 of that - walking 10). Then I did a good upper body workout….
No, I didn’t make [...]

it’s so nice to wake up and feel human.
I can breathe.   My throat isn’t sore.  I’m not too terribly sniffly.
I am even contemplating the gym
Yay!

I went to the grocery store yesterday (since I was staying home) because I needed just a couple of things….one of the things I needed was eggs… ’cause, when I don’t feel good, scrambled eggs is always a good thing.
They were pretty much out of eggs…typically I buy two 18-packs of eggs when I buy [...]

Those who know me…know about my mother. She has never been the easiest person to live with. She is self-centered….and incredibly jealous. She is also aging and not in the best of health. I take her with a grain of salt. When things get to be too much….I back off [...]

Fresh Blueberries

Main Course:
Roasted Turkey Cutlets
Mashed Potatoes

Dessert:
Pumpkin Pie w/ dollop of Whip Cream
My secret? I’m alone for this lovely late lunch . early dinner
I was supposed to be at my [...]

stuffy and runny all at the same time.  with a sore throat.
ick.

yeah, yeah, you know the old saying….
So, my plans yesterday included just…writing.  I went to my doctor’s appointment to get my estrogen shot…but before I could make it home, the oldest called and said “you have GOT to come and get me.  I feel so bad”
I call and make HER a doctor’s appointment.  it’s that [...]

I am hoping for a quiet yet productive day today. I don’t have to travel this week, and I have some backed-up work to do for my main client (I hate typing up meeting minutes) and I need to do my weekly billings.
Mainly, though, I need to get some writing done. I have [...]

i hate feeling stupid.

sigh.
is that enough said?
