My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • Missing In Insanity….Yep, that’s me. How did June already fly by so that it is more than half over and I have not written a single post all month?! Wha…what?! Yeah, so I’ve been a bit busy. And…a little depressed I think…And a little bit sick or full of stomach bacteria that is… Maybe I’ll do a whole posting on that later. Anyway, I’m just trying to get through the next week and…

  • This past week was a rather busy one and thus I did not write too much. Yesterday in particular was not a great day from the beginning , but gave me a bit of a jolt to recognize that after about seven weeks on Cipralex, it does seem to be working. 1. Life dramas – It has taken me some time and I often have to remind myself that the man I have…

  • This morning I chatted with my supervisor. It was both good and not so good, but not necessarily bad. The good is that I am making good progress and understanding better what I am doing. 🙂 The not so good is that I will probably not finish in 2013 and need to refocus my outcome to something more significant for a PhD. 🙁 So…what do I do with all that? Well, first it…

  • Last week a friend/colleague at work asked me if I would be interested in joining her for interval training for runners at a nearby fitness center. Since I have not been running or even exercising very regularly I was not quite sure if I was up for such a challenging session on a regular basis. However, as I have been thinking that I really need to get back on the wheel again, I…

  • For the last few weeks I have completely obsessed over this billboard that I have seen on our street. I could not for the life of me figure out what the ad was for nor what the image was supposed to me. For some reason all I could see was the backside of a female body wrapped with straps. It was not a likely image for a place like here. R said it…

  • Today I taught conditionals in my class. “If [this], then [that]” for adverbial clauses and future clauses. As I was thinking about the form of these structures, then I began to wonder about the meaning for myself…. Lately, I sort of have returned to contemplating the purpose of life and what I am doing. It’s not as intense as it was before, but I still spend some time on it. I suppose that…

  • _Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (Wicked Years)_ by Gregory Maguire Okay, so everyone who knows me well knows that I absolutely HATE movie “The Wizard of Oz”. Many years ago, I did read the book and I still didn’t like it. When I was in New York, the Broadway musical “Wicked” came and stayed and was raved about. I was not convinced by people saying that…

  • _Gone Girl_ by Gillian Flynn A couple of colleagues and friends from work asked if I was interested in joining in reading this book with them since one said it was a book that you want to read with someone to be able to talk about it. Intrigued by the idea and never really having done a ‘book club’ type thing before (unless you count Bible studies), I thought I’d give it a…

  • Time for a wee update on the drugs. Do I call them drugs or medication or is it the same? Hm… So, as you can see I still am pondering things at a weird depth, but the change is happening in that I am not really worrying about things so much. In fact, I feel almost confused not having things swirling around in my head so much that I think it is contributing…

  • Yes, I’m back on the topic of being tired. Can you sense a theme here? Yesterday at pottery, my teacher asked why it is that everyone is always tired in this country. One of the local girls said it’s because it is summer…; not exactly a satisfactory answer to the rest of us since we are tired all of the time and there is no doubt that her life does not require the…
