I know that CrossFit is the big craze right now, and I while I have not had a chance to test my strength with a WOD, I have been working my muscles with a similar intensity - using my CRUTCHES! Hopping around on one leg and using my arms for support to do anything and …
PT for ME
Ever since I came home from the hospital I have documented milestones such as, going to the bathroom by myself, taking a shower, hopping down the stairs, and now I have reached a new level - I went to physical therapy yesterday! I have mastered my crutches and championed the stairs, so I felt it …
Just doing what I do best – Running…
Yesterday was the San Francisco Marathon. This was my first half marathon last year and this year I signed up months ago to race in the second half. It was a hard run last year, but after I finished I was ready to sign up for another race, and so the addiction to running really …
C is for Cookie or Cake I guess
What do you do when you are antsy and stuck in the house because you can't leave without a chaperone? You make cookies! I literally just threw together what I thought might work so here are the approximate values to make these cake like cookies: 1 egg, 1/4 sugar, 1/4 cup of whole wheat flower, …

WIAW – back at work
My cat, like all cats, does not like to sleep at night, but boy does she love to snuggle and snooze in the morning. We normally put her in the bathroom at night so she is calm in a small space, but Monday night we couldn't catch her and she kept us awake most of …
First Day
Remember when I used to leave the house at 7am and get home around 6:30pm and did a whole bunch of stuff in the middle? Well yesterday I went back to doing that stuff in the middle - I went to WORK!! I did not go for a full day but I went in around …
Welcome to the family
Last week we adopted our new kitty from the wonderful people down at the SFSPCA. The animals in the shelter are so well taken care of physically and emotionally and the adoption process was a complete pleasure. The shelter is right next to my office so I went in to visit the adult cats awhile …
