If You Read My Journal Today

If you read my journal you today would know that I went to the gym this morning for the first time in months. Getting out of bed at 5:38 AM (alarm was set for 5:31) sucks ass. But it was totally worth it. A little sweat and it felt good. Honestly, I think the worst thing about exercising before work is showering and getting ready in the locker. I hate that!

If you read my journal today you would know that I am terrified of asking my yoga studio about teacher training this Sunday or Monday depending on which class I go to (the owners of the studio each teach a class on Sunday and Monday). I chickened out going to class on Monday. My excuse was that I had to stay at work too late. I could have totally left sooner and gotten my booty to yoga but I was scared. Doing new things is stressful.

If you read my journal today you would know that talking to a therapist once a month the past few months has put a lot of shit into perspective.

If you read my journal today you would know that having Laverne (dog) and Clementine (cat) in our family means the world to me. I can’t imagine my life without them. Walking Laverne every morning instantly makes me feel better. Animals are awesome.  She wore a name tag on Christmas, hence the photo above.  And she had just gone to the beauty parlor and has bows.

This wasContinue Reading

I had this conversation with my younger sister the other day: In this chat, we’re referring to a person Gabby and I know very well.  She is one of the nicest and most caring individuals I know.  With that said, she is straight up Facebook noise. She posts her meals, her walks, her new purchases, her vacationContinue Reading

Do you ever think about how words were created? 100 years ago did people use the word delete? Or smart phone? Or caps lock? My guess is No. Those words weren’t needed 100 years ago and yet today we all know exactly what they mean. Weird. I want to talk about a word that weContinue Reading
