My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • 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 life, I found a few recipes that looked promising. If you want the recipes, check my pins on…

  • 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 good news for my writing habits. This morning I submitted a few more writing proposals, so now I…

  • 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 will come more confidence. However, now that I’ve put in some proposals, I am geared to get The…

  • 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. 😛

  • 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 me how without the coaching my subconscious mind will continue to win over the conscious one. 😉 In…

  • 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 look at my diet. Perhaps I am not eating enough protein and this is making me tired. I…

  • 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 do the trick, I’m not sure. Anyway, the Apple training is now complete and in the ideal world…

  • 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 ended up at the session – maybe from being involved in training colleagues on how to use the…

  • 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 day to do my writing. At the moment, I am just writing in my journal and trying to…

  • 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… until last week! My friend from high school days was on his way to Afghanistan and so he…
