I’m starting to go back to walking. I had been going to the gym downstairs in my office (it’s company run, so free membership), but it always seemed to be a thing because I’d have to schlep along my gym stuff, change and store my things before going out to see if a treadmill was open and hope I didn’t get the one in front of the television...

I had an idea for this entry at some point Monday morning… Before I had five managers whining about something not being done prior to 8 AM that I told them last week wouldn’t happen before Tuesday at the earliest. Before I had to threaten two vendors with grievous bodily harm — or escalating the matter up the chain to their boss — if they...

Yes, Matt, you’re wonderful and I love your performance, but even a year later, David Tennant is still my Doctor and probably always will be. I don’t know who originally created this, but I’ve seen it numerous times on my friends list and couldn’t resist sharing. Share this:EmailShare on Tumblr Pin...

I’m getting ready to say “no” to a worthy cause. At the end of the month, my church will hold its annual meeting and elect three new members to the vestry. It’s been made clear to me that it would be appreciated if I were to stand for one of the terms. They say it won’t take much of my time, merely a couple of hours a month — and...

Status 100 words a day/100 days — at 32 days now. Sitting down to write the words has almost become second nature, with shows the muscles are coming back. This puts me in a good place for the class that’s starting in two weeks, where I will have to do some exercises. Knitting — Not much to report here except that I put more rows on the sleeves of...

Slept rather late this morning after staying up to see the new year in. We went out to get a late breakfast which really was lunch and now intend to spend the rest of the day being quiet, knitting and doing some reading. Before that, though, I wanted to post my goals for January. Also, showing off the new site layout. Write 100 words a day – this is part of...

Welcome, 2011! Here’s to a fresh, shiny new year. May it be filled with love, happiness and success for us all. Share this:EmailShare on Tumblr Pin...

Here we are, the last day of the year. There were moments when I didn’t think I’d make it with any scrap of sanity, but it’s the 31st and I’m still typing. Time for a look back and a look forward, for both my writing and personally. 2010 Wrote a short story for submission to Big Finish Audio’s Short Trips collection. Unfortunately, it...

I so didn’t want to get out of bed this morning. Winter has truly settled in Los Angeles and I could hear the wind howling outside my window when I woke up. Much more preferable to snuggle down under the duvet with a warm husband and warm cat. But the alarm kept beeping and I knew I had to stagger forth, so here I am. We’ve almost made it. Almost...

Ensure the husband is more conversant on Word. That way he can do the LEM (Lay Eucharistic Ministers) schedule for the church and not have to ask me to do the typing. (I love him, but how did I manage to marry a luddite?) Spent most of yesterday evening doing that and another newsletter, so find myself without anything witty to say. However, in the fun of working on...
