There is a short period in the morning that determines how much I am going to get done during the day. During the work week, this window is less noticeable because I generally have the same schedule that gets me up, ready for work and at work at the same time. For the most part, I…

This morning I had perhaps an epiphany – has my mood and brain synapses been altered since I stopped being so diligent with my Paleo diet? Hm…it is quite possible since I have increased my caffeine, sugar and carb (sugar!) intake quite a bit the past few weeks. I stopped being so focused on Paleo…

Amidst my general unhappiness with the job at the moment, I do know that there is much to be thankful for and so here is my gratitude list in honor of Thanksgiving. *12 days of teaching left *I am able to go to Beirut next Monday evening for four days. *I have a wonderful man…
