Yesterday, I had mapped out a plan for the afternoon into the evening. I was going to go and get paint to fix the front porch that I had had repainted last year, but then the repair man had set the tanks of termite poison on either side of the porch and left two large drum circles that had eaten off the paint that had now attracted debris and bugs and two circles of yuck.…
There is a great line in Scarface, well there are many great lines, but one is when Al Pacino – Tony Montana says, I want what is coming to me. His bud Manny asks, What’s coming to you? Tony says, “The world, chico, and everything in it.” I juxtaposed that line against another line from a poem, The World Is Too Much With Us: The World is Too Much With Us by William Wordsworth The…
There is the hypothyroidism making me tired, there is a three year old who won’t nap making me tired. So let’s revisit what it is I want to do – SLEEP, REST, RELAX. Yes, in that order, I want to get sleep, I went to feel rested, and I want to relax. But no dice.

Last night Tin and I went to a board meeting for his school and on the way home I had a pity party – I don’t want to be bald anymore I said through my welled up eyes. I am tired of being nauseous in the morning and the evening due to Synthroid. I have no motivation to exercise and just want to lie down all the time – boo hoo. When I got home…
My motivation for just about everything has left the house – oh where oh where did it go?
I spoke with my new life coach – yep, I hired her – and we had an interesting talk about what really matters. We didn’t get far in our introductory sessions but two of the things that stood out right away for me are friendships and intellectual stimulation. I was speaking to a friend who quit her job because while she was working with nice people, she didn’t really like any of them. Working with…
A friend’s husband was explaining why their infant and toddler sons don’t sleep, he said when he was young he thought sleep was for the weak. My friend said but then you miss out on all those people and places that you encounter in your dreams. And that is the truth. Last night I slept the sleep of the dead, sound asleep by 9:30 and up at 6 – dreaming of places, people and things,…
