It is and always has been my dream to be a writer. Specifically, a fiction author of books. I have, on and off, tried to pick this dream up again and breathe new life into it. Some years I’ve been more successful than others. This year I’d like to really work towards it again. To […]
This blog post is a little late. When I posted that I was rebooting my life just after my Birthday, I promised check-ins. I missed my one-month check-in, so I’m doing it for both the first and second month. A quick note on the format. After each practice heading, I’ll share some stats that I’m […]
Recently, I listened to the audiobook version of “Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals” written and narrated by Oliver Burkeman. It’s an interesting book that doesn’t gloss over or even deny the fact that we literally have only so many weeks on this earth before we depart it for whatever is out there beyond […]
Recently, I finished reading “Going Postal” by Terry Pratchett. A Discworld novel that is about restarting the Postal Service in that universe. But it’s about much more than that. As per usual Terry Pratchett made me chuckle, laugh, snort, guffaw, and otherwise become delighted with a book that sounds like it should be boring. In […]
Recently I took a vacation for the first time in almost four years. A real vacation with actual travel. As I usually do, I brought my laptop along because, apparently, I’m a workaholic. I’m kind of glad I did because it meant I could go fix a website that crashed while I was 30,000 feet […]
I’ve been been working on and off on an update post for this blog for a while. It’s gone through several different versions, and still it has not been posted. Tonight I decided that enough is enough. So, what’s been going on in my life? Well first of all I’m alive and here. Woohoo! For […]
I was video chatting with my best friend over Skype the other night and somehow the conversation got around to what I want to do with my life. I think this came up because we were talking about my financial situation which is decidedly “not good”, and right now I feel like I’m stuck between […]
So, it’s been eleven months since I started this life reboot endeavor. Last month I reported for the first time in a while. This month I made some progress, but was help up by the terrible, no good, very bad allergy season from accomplishing more. Every year around this time of the year, my allergies […]
This post won’t be so much a “check-in” with all the stats as a “check-in” on the life reboot in general. The last time I updated my progress it was about three months ago and I had fallen off the wagon a bit. Since then I’ve managed to hop back on and resume my place […]
When I work up this morning at 5:30 am, my son was already up. I could tell by how awake he was that he either didn’t sleep, or only slept for a little while and then woke up really early. Usually he sleeps a lot. Like 12 hours. I know, how awesome would it be […]
