Once, a few years ago, I flipped through some old journals, going as far back as those from 8th and 9th grade. Two things became abundantly clear. First, I live a fairly boring life. Second, virtually every post regarded money, my (crappy) love life, or my parents. The only things that seemed to change were [...]

A Gym Rat Is Born
Posted in Change, day in the life, health stuff, On Midlife on March 26, 2011 | 2 Comments »
I’ve been thinking about it for a while, and today I finally did it: I joined a gym. Yes, it’s such a little thing. But for me? Huge. Why? Because I am incredibly skilled at blowing things out of proportion. It’s possible that it is my superpower. I come by it honestly, though. Several years [...]
Blue.

I can’t believe it’s been over a month since I’ve checked in. One reason is that I haven’t had much going on to talk about. (This is merely an excuse. Just because I haven’t had much going on doesn’t mean I couldn’t write.) Another reason is that I’ve been in a funk and have been [...]

I close on the condo in 21 days. Can you believe that? Twenty-one days. I have to keep reminding myself. I still look at pictures of it online and try to imagine where I want to hang certain pieces of art. I daydream about summer evenings on the balcony after work. I search online for [...]
The Aftermath

I hope everyone who celebrates Christmas had a lovely one. I did, though I’m very tired now that I’m back on my own turf. I helped my mother cook all day Thursday (though she conveniently dismissed my efforts when talking to people on the phone: “I‘ve been cooking all day!” she’d say) and most of [...]
Fear or Intuition

Take One: About six months after taking my current job, I received an amazing job offer from a prominent D.C. mover and shaker, T, who has a sizable art collection. Turns out T’s assistant was leaving and he was looking for someone to replace her. I would handle the logistics of his art collection; handle [...]
Pity, Party of One

It’s like being slapped in the face with a cold, wet fish. I’m talking about this whole midlife thing. Maybe I’m still reeling from last weekend’s shredfest. Or maybe my hormones are in overdrive because of PMS and (very late) period. Whatever the trigger, I’ve been in an odd place. My health issues — minor, [...]
One Down, One More to Go

It’s no secret that 2009 has been trying in the health department. I’ve had more doctor’s appointments this year than I’ve had in at least the last five years. And if you take out things like annual exams, it’s more than the last 10 years. I’ve had two lingering issues, one of which was finally [...]
Reprieve, Please?

So … I’m dealing with health issues again. It’s not terribly serious, but I am often in pain and it is annoying. I went back to one of the docs from earlier this year, and she’s referred me to a specialist. Well, actually, the specialist she referred me to doesn’t have an opening until August [...]
Girl Talk

It’s not that I’m trying to exclude the guys here, but I do want to give fair warning that this will be a girl-centric entry. It started several years ago, just before I started seeing The Boy. I would wake up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat and feeling like I had [...]
