Me and My Fitbit

Me and My Fitbit

Yesterday I walked a total of six miles. The dog, the kid and I went for a two-mile walk. Since February 3rd, I’ve lost 18 pounds. I feel like this time, THIS TIME, I got this. At the end of January, I think I was cleaning my desk when I came across a pedometer in the […]

Do Not Want

Record heat. Do not want. Especially since it’s going to get worse, and keep doing that for months. Blech. That’s about all I got. I’m working on my story for Love is an Open Road, I’m keeping up my house, I’m dealing with stuff and I’m protesting record heat.

So, About that Escapist Literature…

So, About that Escapist Literature...

Turns out, oftentimes when you really need escapism is when you absolutely don’t have time to read. So one turns (if one is me) to watching Planet Earth while folding clothes, sorting, cleaning, scrubbing… It’s the best I can do. I don’t have time to read, and I certainly can’t write or edit. Some people can,
