oh, I noticed all right, just gave you a pass today.

I got 9 hours of sleep last night! that early bedtime was glorious!!

Flowers, huh. I can do that.

Happy 40th! (I spent mine having WLS)

It’s a great idea to be in the moment rather than to post about the moment. Enjoy your time with your bestie and treating yourself right!

OMG, this is perfect. I just spent 3 hours out in the plant, with no fans and it’s hot and humid (and I was “observing” more than working) and I felt like crap before I even started. I could easily take a long nap. I was considering going home for a shower (I feel like I smell, which is pretty sad for just 3 hours in the morning) and then working…[Read more]

Thanks for this item on the list. Maybe it should have been before the affirmations, so we could use it for the positive things?

This challenge is hard for me. Especially since I have to turn off my sarcastic wit to do it. (and sarcasm and wit are high on my list of attributes, but it’s easy to hide behind self-deprecating humor and this isn’t…[Read more]

I walked outside between the two buildings at work (seriously, it’s two different towns, but about 10 minutes walk). However I seem to have injured my sciatic nerve, so no more walking was feasible today. I did enjoy reviewing the photos I took on Saturday at a party with some coworkers (Brazilian festival celebration). So, Photos and Walking…[Read more]

Thanks for letting us know.  I hope you’re feeling better from yesterday, as treating that migraine would require some self care!

Thank you for clarifying the experience versus the literal. I don’t do baths. The last bath was when I had chicken pox in grade 5. Lol.

But, a nice shower and lotions and potions sounds heavenly…

I have some at work on my white board there, too

I do my affirmations in dry erase markers on my bathroom mirror.

Progress not Perfection!!

I’m worth it!

And yesterday, I spent an hour shopping before I spent the evening Netflix and couch. So, I REALLY enjoyed my me-time. 🙂

You’ll notice I didn’t answer the question for myself, either. These are the questions that I ponder when I think about what makes me happy. I know, despite how much I’m stressed by my “career” that a “job” (the do-you-want-fries-with-that kind of monotony) would make me crazy with boredom. I need that.

But I have many times contemplated a…[Read more]

so you need to figure out your bliss and you’re asking us? you realize that’s crazy right?

But, here’s a few questions to help:  would you do one of your hobbies full time (career direction change)? would you work with people or by yourself? would you work FOR someone or for yourself? (assuming you can’t really visualize winning the lottery);…[Read more]

Thank. You.

Sometimes the best mirror is what a friend sees when they look at us versus what we see when we look at ourselves.

I’m not sure what ONE THING would make the rest of life easier. There are so many flippant answers –  I often say, I need a 50’s housewife to cook and clean for me. So I hired a cleaning service and solved it myself. And I rent versus own a place where I have to take care of exterior maintenance (which I despise).

I think the rest of life would…[Read more]

I wanna spend 8 hours hiding under the covers. But, I got up and came to work. This was actually a victory after a disastrous day yesterday where the whole office heard me shout on the phone. Then I hung up on a coworker (but it was better than getting more nasty, honestly). Then there was the mediated discussion with same coworker and my boss. At…[Read more]

I had a lovely lunch, that I actually turned down a free lunch in favor of, but I didn’t prepare it. I did select it, plan for it, and enjoy it immensely – 1 egg western omelet with American cheese, a piece of bacon, home made raisin toast, and shredded potatoes. Of course, only the omelet was finished. But, when we go to this particular place for…[Read more]

sounds great. More people getting access to you!

Checking in – I forgot to draw last night! I gathered the implements, and then half were upstairs and half were downstairs and I was tired. I listened to my body. I will color today!

And I didn’t read ahead, so lunch was not prepared. Oops. That will have to be delayed because, I goofed.

Donna – we missed you on the call Sunday! Sorry your mind is running around with so much right now. Glad your eating sounds good, because it sounds like it would be really easy for it not to be. I saw you were on the chat earlier today, but was just hopping on for a moment and then back off (people have figured out I’m “working” today, ha ha ha).

Blanche – Yes, transcription, and hearing on calls has been something I’m thinking about since our call on Sunday. We Skype everything at work. My new VP loves to Skype us versus pick up the phone, so I got a headset so everyone doesn’t hear my personal business. It works much better and isolates the background noise, as well. Instead of using my…[Read more]
