Mondays They happen every week but for some reason yesterday's Monday was the hardest one I have had in a while. I had a big weekend of running around and could have really used another day just to sit and relax. When it was time to drive to work I was in a daze and even …

Feelings on Friday
Fridays are always a funny phenomenon. Everyone in the office is always excited during those last hours of the work week and gearing up for freedom, but at my job I find that I gain more projects on Friday than any other day of the week. This leaves me feeling a bit overwhelmed when I …
smorgasbord
When you come home from work and you are starving and open the fridge and want it all. So first you grab the broccoli to steam, then put the sweet potato in the microwave, then cook up some eggs, throw all of this together in the container holding the leftover roasted corn and top with …
Routines
Yesterday was my first FULL day of work in a month. A MONTH! Wild. Up until this point I was doing half days, which was a great way to ease back into my normal routine of work. It's hard not to have a daily routine with a 9-5 job (or in my case before 8am …
WIAW: Forget CrossFit…Crutch-It

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 …
Working Girl
I may be stuck at home, chained to my couch and slave to my aches and pains, but that does not mean that I am not working hard on my recovery or on my career. I have an arrangement with my boss to work on some projects from home that don't necessarily need to be …
First Outing
Yesterday was a BIG day. I fueled properly with some eggs, facon and chives...mmmm. After breakfast, I finally reached the bottom of the stairs to my apartment complex and instead of hopping right back up to my apartment I made a left and headed to the car. The last time I was in the car …
