The Artist Formerly known as “me”…back as Herself
It was about a year ago that I started blogging again. I joined the NaBloPoMo to kick myself into gear and I see that it is going on again this year. But I don’t think I will officially join.
In looking back at my entries from this time last year, I realized I had done a [...]
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 [...]

My secret? I’m alone for this lovely late lunch . early dinner
I was supposed to be at my [...]
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 [...]
At times, I feel I have a really good understanding of men…and then….I don’t….
I have these moments where I have a real handle on The Pilot Guy. I do not doubt that he cares about me…but I also know that he is not the settling down kind of guy.
I finally got my realization [...]
I just got an email from one of my clients…the last time I was in DC, I was able to share a bottle of wine with him and catch up with a long chat…His brother-in-law was diagnosed with terminal cancer and he just returned from a 2300 mile drive….
He said is brother-in-law was overwhelmed by [...]
I try…try…try to follow good routines. My body wakes up around the same time every day - no matter how late I went to bed….or how early. But when it comes to true routines, that’s about the only thing I have on a consistent basis.
Of course, I have my travel rituals and routines [...]
