My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • Well, the past few days have seen me more on the couch than out and about. I realized this morning that I have barely – I have done so, just returning quickly 😉 – left the house since the weekend. The days go by rather quickly and I generally do not notice that I have not been out in the big bad world.  Unfortunately, this week I have been a bit lazy. Or,…

  • So my husband often takes the piss out of me for any number of reasons. If you are not up on your British terminology, this means to tease or make fun of me. The majority of the time I find it aggravating and near annoying when he does it because I lack full appreciation for humor. 😛 Because he is a bit of a drama queen – yes, I mean QUEEN! – he…

  • We often focus on being happy all the time. It is now considered a sort of tragedy if a bad day happens or you somehow are ‘letting it happen’ to you. The truth is that bad days happen! It is a part of life. There is no good or bad about it, they just pass through. Yesterday was one of those days. There are a number of reasons why it was not the…

  • It ended up being a nice weekend with friends and relaxing. We did our last brunch for the next month due to Ramadan starting on Saturday morning. We went with a new group of people, which was good, but also a challenge. First, it seems lately I am always over-dressed for things. I sometimes blame my husband for telling me that people will be fancy and then finding out that is not the…

  • My workouts are still stagnant. I need to get myself moving or at the very least outside in the sun. I will aim to do more of that this week since my schedule is (fortunately or not) freeing up. For this week, I managed: May 21st (Sunday) 60′ Ladies’ Wellness Yoga May 22nd (Monday) 60′ Ladies Wellness Yoga May 23rd (Tuesday) 60′ Private yoga session May 24th (Wednesday) 60′ Men’s Wellness Yoga May…

  • Well, we know that I am not a fan of the news. In current political times, I am even less so. However, upon seeing this recommended on the Podcast Community Facebook group I am a part of, I decided just to check it out. The Daily podcast is a short podcast hosted by Michael Barbaro and powered by New York Times. Every day – aside from weekends – there is an update about what is…

  • M says I “have one on me” lately. For the non-Brit readers, this means something similar to “having a bee in my bonnet” or simply being generally irritable. 😛 It is probably true…. Between fighting depression and wanting to sleep, hormonal imbalance, feeling fat these days (no, I know I am not, but I feel it!), starting to look for work, trying to keep up with other work and stay sane through our…

  • This morning I had a quick chat with a friend. When I said that I am feeling tired and pretty much just want to sleep most of the time lately, she asked if I am ok because it sounded like depression. When I thought about it, I realized she is probably right. I am likely in a depressive state, but being so familiar with these cycles and having a husband who sleep minimally,…

  • Well, within an hour of my sending out CVs, I got a hit right away. We emailed, we Skyped. Then, it was time to discuss and ponder. When we agreed to open up the door to my finding a job, we did also agree to just see where would present itself. Now that doors have appeared, it is not really for us to say No to them or keep searching in hopes of…

  • Well, M and I had a short but pointed chat yesterday and it has been decided that I need to look for work. Basically, he will continue to do what he is doing with the hopes that something will work out sooner than later. In the meantime, I will be looking for returning to teaching full-time anywhere, somewhere in the world. The reality is that we need a regular paycheck coming in to…
