Best Laid Weekend Plans….
Well, my plan to ponder this weekend turned into a mix of thwarted plans and utter laziness. My plan on Saturday was to just chill, watch a lot of sport since rugby was on and then the Euros 2024 soccer matches were scheduled for the evening. However, a friend needed a ride home from the…

Step One – Awareness
I’m back on a routine and feeling both happily productive yet somewhat lackluster in my sense of accomplishment each day. It’s not like I don’t have plenty to do or to keep me busy. Still, sometimes it does feel as if it is just busy work that I am doing to pass the time. Of…

Happy 48th To Me!
When I was younger, I really had no interest in celebrating my birthday. It seemed like an unnecessary moment of bringing attention to myself, which was something that I actively spent time on avoiding. If I was not noticed, I would not get unwanted attention from leery male eyes. If I was not noticed, I…

Reminders to Self
It really doesn’t take long to follow the path of least resistance and return to old habits – whether deemed good or bad. M came back on Sunday. On Monday, we went out with friends for lunch and an evening out. My stomach was a bit in shock with the return to booze and food,…

Thoughts on AI, copyright, etc.
This is really a kind of stream of consciousness post on the topic as I’m formulating my thoughts to post on my writing spaces. Teachers around the world are in a bit of an uproar over the current dominance of AI bots that are getting a lot of attention these days. Some teachers feel threatened…

Reboot Detox 2023
Every now and then, I try to do a fasting lemon water detox. The longest I have done is ten days of just lemon water throughout the day and no food with the exception of a smoothie at the end of the day when my brain thinks it wants food. The shortest I have done…

Bonjour de France! 🇫🇷
We are officially on our summer holidays! ☀️🎉 Although, to be fair, it doesn’t look or feel that much different from our regular days since neither of us “work” all day long. Plus, M is always “working”, so even when on holiday he is messaging, fielding calls, etc. Still, the environment has changed and we…

Good and Busy Days
Whenever I try to think back to the days and what I have done or what I do, I find that it is somewhat hard to recollect. 🤔 I am not sure if it is brain fog 🤯, lack of focus/clarity 😒, or busyness, or the opposite. In any case, these days have been good.…

Doggy Update
As I’m working on some other writing things at the moment, I thought I’d finish off the week with a little update on the pups! 🐶❤️🐶❤️ Peanut 🐶💜 So, Pea(nut) is doing alright. She’s not quite the same as before her viper bite, but she’s running around fine. Some notable changes in her, though, are…

Happy 4th of July
Every now and again I like to show my patriotic side. Even though most of the world sees the US as a kind of sh*t show, I am still American 🇺🇸 in my heart and soul. Occasionally, someone will ask me if I would give up my US passport and try to get citizenship in…
