Well, MY brain anyway .... The ol' barometric pressure took a nose dive last night and right on cue my sinuses filled with pressure. Consequently I've been either excessively foggy headed and tired from the pressure itself or, the Zyrtec I take to relieve it somewhat. Take your pick - either way, I am not at... Continue Reading →
I am SUCH an only child!
Why do I state this? Because the best way for me to regain some semblance of sanity when I am feeling anxious over being in limbo..or stressed...or in any way out of sorts....the BEST thing I can do for myself is get as far away from people as possible. It doesn't have to be for... Continue Reading →
Teaching my brain how to focus
Instead of constantly bitching about the shiny object syndrome that hampers nearly everyone's ability to focus, I decided to actively try and do something about it. I had already stopped obsessively reading my twitter timeline daily (yes, I stupidly used to actually try and do that. And? I sadly DID for a long time). I... Continue Reading →
The merry month of May
So here's a rarity. I'm going to try to write in here every night this month. Sort of like a (gulp) actual diary. I'm sure it will largely be boring and frequently short, but I know I will need to do some non technical writing to keep my brain clear. Having sold more books we... Continue Reading →
What’s that saying about old dogs and new tricks?
Or, more appropriately for me - old cats? In my ongoing pursuit of supplemental income I've mentioned that I've been doing some content writing for a website that I run with my friend Eve. I know you've all checked it out at least once and clicked on an ad or two for me right? What?... Continue Reading →
Dear Mildred
Isn't that one of the coolest photos you've ever seen? Thought I'd send you this with best wishes for a fantabulous weekend. We, of course, are due again for rain on Sunday. Because it ONLY rains on weekends in San Diego. Seriously. It sucks. What also sucks is that I have to go to a... Continue Reading →
Dear Shirley
The weekend did not go as planned. Mother Nature not only didn't listen to my plea for calm weather, she essentially threw a righteous temper tantrum that effectively canceled the Super Seal Triathlon. No cheering for my friends. No pictures. No cowbell. Just lots and lots of cold cold wind and rain and even hail. Consequently... Continue Reading →
Dear Christine
No, this isn't a new name I came up with to address - it's the name that TOO MANY DAMN PEOPLE use to address ME! Note to parents: I know you worry about naming your children & how you spell their names because you don't want them to be teased and such in school -... Continue Reading →
Dear Martha
I'm feeling a lack of inspiration...or..*motivation*...when it comes to the blog. I think I need to switch things up for a bit. A few of the sites that I follow pretty much use their blog as an online journal. They write in what feels like a stream of consciousness style and while I've thoroughly loved reading it...

So, that was 2011.
And so it begins to end today. Another year. 365 days. We are somehow compelled to reflect on what has come and gone - yes, a trap I am falling into right now 🙂 It's interesting how the entire human race seems to need to wrap up these calendar years with a little bow. You... Continue Reading →
