Despite the pouring rain, we got in a bit of a soggy hike today. It felt good to squelch through some mud in my waterproof boots. It did not feel good when my waterproof shell leaked all over my arm and shoulder. The rain was coming down hard enough that Read more…
We did about an hour on the snowshoes today–which took like 5 hours to make happen. Next time, we will be better organized and prepared. M had to figure out the car chains, and we originally missed the sno-park for the trailhead. Then, once on it, we lost the actual Read more…
My ab workout is boring… I need to look back and see how long it was before I hated the other ab workout. The point is, maybe, that for me, workouts need to change up once every two weeks. I think the feeling that working out is boring is a Read more…
One thing I didn’t do this month, which I had sort of hoped I would, is read more about movement and exercise and our dominant ideas about it. I read a little of How to Think About Exercise by Damon Young, but I didn’t read as much of it as Read more…
So, I’ve been moving with intention now for 21 days. Things that are better: my sleep, my general joint comfort, my imagination (in that it is often focused on things like birds instead of my continued failure to write regularly). (Since I likely will only have one job all summer, Read more…
So, today I did a little bit of work toward trying to secure some future work. I’ve still got my day job, which covers the basics, but this place needs a lot of work, and I can’t afford it on my base salary. Anyway. I just had to skim through Read more…

I’m sitting in the car while it warms up. It’s snowy and I’ll probably be a big chickeny scaredy cat the whole way, so good thing I’m not driving. Taking care of a body is hard. I’m sometimes angry that it’s hard. I wish I’d learned these skills when I Read more…
Day 2 of going to bed after 1 am. This is no good for my health. And no good for my consistency. Yesterday we saw Black Panther, and I liked it very much. It took all day to recover from my panic yesterday morning. I wish it wasn’t so damn Read more…
I didn’t go to bed until 1 last night. I’m trying desperately to finish giving two students feedback before I run out of time and my browser just crashed and I lost over an hour of straight writing to a student. It was probably close to 2,000 words. So, I’m Read more…
