Getaway Recap
Tuesday evening, I started my solo getaway, which has become a bit of an annual tradition. After the hectic budget season at work, I really need that downtime to just do whatever pleases me. Usually, I try to do some planning for the future, but this year felt like a lengthy meditation -- I really … Continue reading Getaway Recap
Getaway
Lots of good motivational stuff at https://www.instagram.com/warrior_goddess_training/?hl=en Tuesday after work, I'm heading out for a much-needed solo trip to one of my happy places. Check out the livestream video below. (Preferably during daylight hours lol. We are Pacific Standard Time.) My to-do list for the three days? Rest and relaxation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NveskAtF9cI

MIA from the Blogosphere
https://pixabay.com/vectors/milk-carton-milk-missing-31473/ I always used to scratch my head wondering why people went MIA from the blogosphere. I couldn't imagine it ever happening to me! And yet, here I am. (Or, here I wasn't!) Only 18 posts last year and this is only my 6th for 2022. So, what happened? It really isn't that I have … Continue reading MIA from the Blogosphere
Back in My Happy Place

Well, my older son thinks so and doesn't come anymore, but the rest of us find the sameness relaxing. Both my husband and I still had to do a … Continue reading Back in My Happy Place
New Messaging to Colleagues
I really like a lot of what Adam Grant, an organizational psychologist, has to say. (And when I don't, I ignore it.😀) I have so many demands on my time at work that I am always behind. I semi-seriously considered changing my standard email footer to "Sorry this is so late"! This little bit of … Continue reading New Messaging to Colleagues
Night-Night Mr. Koko
A week ago, we had to say goodbye to our dog, Koko. Koko was almost 15 years old and had been with us since he was around 8 months old. He was a survivor, of heart issues, bladder stones, cancer, and a scary breathing episode. When we first welcomed our Japanese Chin, Koko, into our … Continue reading Night-Night Mr. Koko
Our Quick Trip
Four days, including travel, but we fit a lot into those days together -- not only our primary purpose, but also a couple of meals out, a book, two movies, and a side trip to take a picture I thought Esther would appreciate! The Primary Purpose As I mentioned in my previous post, we went … Continue reading Our Quick Trip
Hope, Smoke, and a Sad Reason for a Trip
Hope Let's start with the good news, from a personal point of view. I finally had my appointment with the rheumatologist, who said that, even though the X-ray shows severe arthritis, the pain in my hip is likely from trochanteric bursitis and/or tendonitis. He gave me a cortisone shot where it was most painful, and … Continue reading Hope, Smoke, and a Sad Reason for a Trip
