I was sitting in a meeting on Thursday afternoon. A pretty typical meeting, but not the kind that makes you want to bash your skull into the table. During this meeting, I noticed kind of a squeezing feeling in my left arm. Not enough to make me go “ouch”, but enough to make me go [...]

Pressure

I almost didn’t make my one-post-per-day goal because I spent 20 hours in the hospital with my blood pressure spiked way, way up. The experience of being in the hospital, I believe, contributed to the rise in my systolic and diastolic numbers. I will write extensively about that tomorrow. Right now I am just going [...]
Excuse #8,934 for blowing off the gym

OK, I totally blew off the gym last night. And I can’t blame Paula Deen. Or anyone else but me. I went into lazy mode as soon as I got home. I was tired. I was frustrated. I had a hard day. I totally deserved that pizza I ordered. And the bottle of wine I [...]
To gym or not to gym

I have a plan. A beautiful plan. A plan that involves me moving my fat ass off this chair in my office and going to the gym, that place where they keep the exercise equipment that I subsidize every month. Haven’t been in a couple of months. Got injured. Got busy. Got sick. Got busy [...]

I realize I haven’t posted anything about weight loss here in a while. That’s because I ain’t been losing any. Maybe quite the opposite. But good news today: Starbucks will NOT be featuring its Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate again this holiday season. There’s a 1,000 calories I will be saving. I got that going for [...]
Sneaking in a quickie at work

Today is election day, or as I like to think of it Last-of-the-Nasty-Political-Campaign-Ads-and-Robocalls Day. Where, especially in our state, we get to visit our polling place and cast a vote with our choice between dull or duller. Democracy survives. So since I work for a news-gathering organization, I will be working late. Mostly I will [...]

How damn sad is it that it’s only day fucking two of this NaBloPoMoFo thingy and I almost didn’t post anything. How much do I suck. Apparently, I don’t suck that much since here I am banging out this useless entry. I had to work entirely too hard today. And I cannot tell you how [...]

Last week I signed on to do the national novel writing thingy. Who the hell was I kidding? I am so stressed out my head has been pounding for weeks, I just recovered from the baconic plague and I am so far behind at work I might as well just light my inbox on fire [...]

The hubby and I drank way too much wine last night. We put away two bottles, one before dinner and one during. Ended the evening with a couple of chocolate martinis. And in between all the drinking we snacked on Halloween candy, put this stupid spider thing on our dog’s head and humiliated him, and [...]
