kowtow

Today was one of those days where my back got pushed up against the wall and instead of turning and taking it, I fought back. And here is the crazy part, I am not done yet. I have so much more fight in me right now and I am in the right and I feel empowered and I feel like I have nothing in the...

Well, all the hard work has paid off and I am now sick. I started feeling the scratchy throat thing yesterday I tried to drink a bunch of water and eat real healthy, I did a gut wrenching workout to try and jack my body temp up to fight off a cold, but alas, to no avail. I am sniffly and sick and I want...

I am starting to feel like a broken record. But this week I am working two forty hour jobs. It is an accident, I didn't do it on purpose, somebody needed a shift covered and sometimes I can't say no. I don't have any days off anymore, I am always at one job or the other. And to top it all off, I started my...

I think I might have dislocated, or at least re-separated, my shoulder. It hurts most of the time over the last couple of days. My range of motion is more limited than usual and the twinges of pain are more frequent. The Ibuprofen I am taking semi-regularly is helping but I am reluctant to take too much.

In other news, I gave my bosses at...

The last couple of days I have been in the gym really aggressively. Part of it is not knowing what else to do with my time, and part of it is that I am starting to see a positive change in my body and I don't want to stop and watch is slide away.

It looks like a cracked china plate. The older snow mounds are just glaciers. All the moisture has been ripped out of the them. The air is so cold it has that ability to...

More Snow! That makes one batch of accumulation every week since Christmas.

Today I slept until 9:46. It felt decadent. Now, knowing that I have to get up at 4:00 am tomorrow is going to come as a bit of a shock given tonight is the Superbowl, but I probably won't watch: in part because of work, and in part because of apathy.

So work is doing a play by a woman named Lorraine Hansberry, part of...

For my money there is no better show than They Might Be Giants. They play everything you could hope to hear from their catalog, they are tremendous musicians, and they have fun when they play. The fact that they are nearing 50 (that sound was the sound of my own mortality hitting the wall) hasn't slowed them down at all.

Great show. Great fun.
