  • Paleo Cake = YUMMY!

    This weekend was a friend’s birthday party in Al Ain. I wanted to do something nice other than just show up and crash at her house. So, I offered to bake a birthday cake as it has been a while since I have done some baking. Since she is also doing a Paleo way of…

  • Wha…What?! Up at 5:50AM on the Weekend?!

    Yep, so like I said, once I do something a couple of times, my body figures out the habit expectation. This morning, I awoke at 5:48am and without hesitation I was out of bed and eager to get my writing on. That’s not to say I won’t be back in bed soon, but it is…

  • Habits Forming!

    Yes, I am celebrating after three straight days of waking up early to write! The writing production itself is not quite happening yet, but I have successfully submitted a number of proposals for possible writing jobs in hopes of making some mulah in writing! I realize that I definitely need more practice. With the practice…

  • Blah….

    My head got distracted doing online shopping even though I have no intention of buying anything. I had plans to do some work for school and then write, but I feel the TV drawing me in. I may just go get a cup of ice cream and call it a night. 😛

  • Coaching: Sessions 8 & 9

    So I am a little behind in updating on the coaching sessions. I am continuing although I do sometimes go back and forth on whether or not I should due to costs. However, as I often say to people there is no price limit for mental health and stability. Plus, Karen is good at reminding…

  • Recovering!

    Well, it has only taken me about 4 days to recover from last week, but after a lot of sleeping the past few days I am now starting to feel ‘normal’ again. 😀 Either I did not know how much stress I felt from the Apple stuff or I may need to take a better…

  • Am I Anxious or Just Tired?

    I am thinking I am just tired more than anything else from the past week, but it also feels a bit as if I am kind of wound up, which is the anxious part. I am feeling this need to go somewhere or to just release some tension. Maybe something simple like a massage would…

  • Time Hijacked!

    The last week has been completely consumed by  a surprise invitation to continue the process to become a qualified Apple Professional Developer. So, back in February I went to a two-day training session for this, but at the time it was not exactly clear what we were training for. I cannot even recall how I…

  • Changing Habits is Hard to Do…

    Man, I am so tired right now, but it is my own fault. I decided that I need to follow the advice of many a great writer by trying to have a regular time in the day to write. Since the mornings are generally my best times, I decided to get up at 5am every…

  • Second Real Visitor!

    So, I’ve lived in the UAE for nearly 5 years now and have only had visitors in the first six months I moved here, who were my mom and aunt. Despite offering to pay for plane tickets to a few people, no one else has ever made the time or effort to come see me……
