Nothing like a lack of blogging to make one think. Or not think, for that matter. I have spent the last month pretending like my new job is not stressing me out. Part of me thinks that this job can’t possibly be stressful, because that would mean that I am symptomatic. Well, that’s just not [...]

I am fairly out of it this morning…keep that in mind as you are reading and wondering if I am drunk.
Between starting a new job, tapering off Klonopin, and taking care of an unemployed and depressed Dr. Love, I have failed to blog regularly. I believe my last blog was almost a month [...]

After three straight days of minimal sleep, I passed out on the couch last night, watching Medium, that we had DVR’d from earlier in the evening. DVR is a beautiful thing. I’m still not used to having a fancy TV or cable, and when I found out that we could set it to automatically record [...]
A Healthier Year

There’s nothing like a visit to the doctor (a walk-in clinic, nonetheless) to make one think about the decisions one makes regarding diet, exercise, bad habits, and medication. After two serious bouts with bronchitis, sinusitis, and laryngitis within a matter of a few weeks, I am thinking about quitting smoking. I am fairly motivated and [...]
And He Said, “Take the Day Off”

Work called me about fifteen minutes ago and told me that they didn’t need me to come in. WTF? Since when does Rose get a Saturday off? Or two days off in a row? It just doesn’t happen!! Or hasn’t happened since I started at the orange hell-hole home improvement store. They said that they [...]

I am allowed to wake Matt up in 32 minutes. He refused to get up with me at 3:00 a.m. and told me I am not normal. That’s what happens when I go to bed early! At least Mom had the “self-preservation” talk with him, in regard to sleep. Basically, the women in our family [...]

Thursday through Sunday, I was at the bait shop and water garden store, helping out, and it was really busy. I went home exhausted each night and just ate dinner and went to bed. I’ve had some really good sleep lately. Physical exertion can do that to you, apparently. Who would’ve thought.
Yesterday was [...]
Sunday Vow

Today will be a good day…because I WILL it to be so. I will use my coping skills, I will not take naps, I will be productive, and I will kick ass. It’s not that I’ve had a string of bad days, because I really haven’t, but the sun is shining and the birds are [...]
Getting Off My Sexy Fat Ass

At this point, I am so disappointed in myself. But it’s almost an ambivalent sort of disappointed, if there is any such thing. Mostly, I know I need to change some things in my life, but I am ambivalent about doing so. It’s that external v. internal motivation to change again.
I have been doing fairly [...]
Biting the Ears Off Chocolate Bunnies
Posted in Family, Neuroticism, tagged love, sleep, weight loss on March 24, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), I did not have any chocolate bunnies to deal with this Easter. I am pretty sure that I have not had an Easter basket for a long time…perhaps not since high school.
The reason for this? Easter baskets are for little kids and the only reason we kept getting them through high [...]
