My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • OMG! This weekend was totally packed with socializing and late nights. Thank goodness the new week has started and I have time to relax and catch up on my tasks. It was a fun-filled weekend that kicked off with an evening brunch with friends. That was a rather dangerous night that left me giving up alcohol (again!) and attempting to recover physically the rest of the weekend – and am not sure that…

  • My excuse is always recovery mode after a training weekend. Also, Aunt Flo makes me tired…. 🙁 So, here is what I managed this week. April 30th (Sunday) 60′ Ladies Wellness Yoga May 1st (Monday) 60′ Ladies Morning Wellness Yoga May 2nd (Tuesday) 60′ Private Yoga May 3rd (Wednesday) 60′ Men’s Wellness Yoga May 4th (Thursday) 40′ Gym Time – 10 burpees 35 35kg total abdominal 25 25kg adductor @7 30 5kg ab…

  • A boy gets kidnapped from a group of three who had gone out at night and it takes 27 years before they finally convict the man who did it.  This man continued to molest, grab and prey on young boys both nearby and in surrounding areas where the kidnapping happened. How is this possible? A very interesting podcast that follows the one case but also remarks on the challenge of law enforcement in…

  • Life in limbo is becoming a norm. It becomes a question of whether or not life is never not so and we just manage to convince ourselves otherwise. While I may be able to schedule what I am doing tomorrow, that schedule may have to shift based on what M is doing and whether or not he may need the car. I may be able to schedule where I am going to go…

  • _H.R.H._ by Danielle Steel Well, it has been years since I last read a Danielle Steel novel. She had been my writing hero for many years. In fact, I emailed her once to get advice on how to write as prolifically and successfully as she. Although she did respond, I was a bit disappointed and slowly decreased my consumption of her novels. Now, I am by no means saying that DS novels are…

  • When I was young and meant to be out until all hours of the night, I could do so because I rarely slept a full night. Being an insomniac helped me to join the world of the young. 😛 However, when I finally learned how to sleep regularly through the night, I made it a discipline to be in bed by 9:30pm each night since I was basically going to up at the…

  • I started reading the second book in the Outlander series. Before I watch the next season of the TV series, I want to read the book…. In the opening scene, the character is going through all the collected belongings of his recently passed away adoptive father.  It started me thinking on our need to collect things and in some ways hoarde various objects. Is it necessary though? Do all these things in our…

  • In high school a close friend of mine’s boyfriend was in a serious motorcycle accident. He was the brother of another close childhood friend. I was going to my girl friend’s house when her parents told me about the accident and that she was down near our local store. I went and picked her up; took her to the hospital and waited with her to make decisions that could not be waited on…

  • Well this week has been much better. I managed to take the first steps to get myself back to the gym. Although I did not quite get back to my regular routine, I did get a start, which is half the battle! 😀 It helped to have a couple of random people mention to me in passing that they had noticed I had been absent from the gym. Even though I do not…

  • As promised, I am here to update on my post about the podcast S-Town.  Although M gave up on the podcast because the story was advertised as something different than it turned out to be, I found myself enjoying the narrative and continued through. The story of John B McLemore is both sad and fascinating at the same time. SPOILER ALERT:  It seems that Mercury poisoning was the cause of his demise, which…
