Hormones and other fun
I’m 20+ days without wine (except a couple glasses of the de-alcoholized FRE crap – much better taste to the Chardonnay than the Merlot!). Have lost 10lbs. This is good but my cranky level is off the charts. Thank you, PG hormones! In addition to my fun hormones, Pumpkinhead was recently determined to have early-onset Continue reading →

Tired
It’s 3:16 a.m. and I can’t sleep. My cold has turned into a sinus infection and I am stressed. My clients are demanding and hyper-critical. Bending over backwards and pushing other work aside to meet one particularly demanding customer’s deadlines just leads to more criticism of “not doing enough.” (Ironic, yes?)

Reflections on Work/Life Balance
Various MILPs have been posting about work/life balance this week and it has caused me to reflect on the past year and the choices I have made to restore some balance to my life. CM posted about her daily schedule and I thought “Wow, that looks familiar,” except I was unable to spend much time Continue reading →
