Hiya, folks. 😊 It's 1:25 a.m., and it's been a loooooong day. My goodness. I spent probably 5+ hours yesterday just getting prepared for today, not getting to bed until about 1:30, up early..., and it... well... today was a bit of a nightmare. I feel a little ridiculous complaining about a day that, honestly, … Continue reading 2020-06-03 — Sideways of Sideways.

Hola, my lovely peopleses. 😊 Happy Tuesday. 😊 Soooooo... I was thinking, "Why not do a gratitude day?" So here we go. I'll share my day in spurts of gratitude. 😁 #1. I'm grateful that from the beginning of the day, I was able to get out of bed and get headed to my first … Continue reading 2020-06-02 — Happy Gratitude Day!!!

At least it wasn't heavy and gray today. Let's go with that. 😊 I gave up trying to get my taxes done before the deadline, which I guess was today. Why? Because I found out this morning (there's a vague memory from a long time ago that I'd been told this before but forgot) that … Continue reading 2020-06-01 — Happy June!

Well, its been another one of those dark-depressive-cloud-hanging-over-me kind of good days. Good among other reasons, because it's an opportunity to walk a mile in the shoes of those who suffer similarly in short bursts or more permanently. And it's nearly 1 a.m. I didn't intend for tonight to be a late night and to … Continue reading 2020-05-31 — Meh, Part 2

I don't really have much to say today. I know, I know. Normally verbose Stephen is at a loss? Yup. Maybe I'll come up with something as I go. For the moment, though... I spent the first half of the day alternately down for no apparent reason or angry/frustrated at the taxes I have to … Continue reading 2020-05-30 — Meh

So yesterday, I mentioned that I'd started my work boundaries list but hadn't actually started following anything on it. Well... I did follow at least one of them today, and it started before I went to bed last night--No phone calls during sleeping hours. As I was lying down to go to bed last night, … Continue reading 2020-05-29 — Wait, It’s *How* Much?!?!

Let me start off by saying, "Hey, I'm making progress." I mean, I did start making a list of work boundaries today. I didn't apply any of them... but I did start making them. 🙃 And I didn't get a mouth full of pee today. Doesn't that all count for something? 😊 Just because I … Continue reading 2020-05-28 — I’m So Bad At This 🙃

That moment when... in the dark... driving home from your last job... you're almost home... you reach for your water bottle because you know you're about to go on your 28-minute run, and you need to hydrate a bit more before you go to take proper care of your body... when... suddenly... just a split-second … Continue reading 2020-05-27 — Well… That Wasn’t My Water

But I didn't eat it!!! Did I getcha? 😎 No, I bought ice cream bars for the peeps at the Bentonville Autozone today. They've been super awesome to me lately--lots of job referrals, and that's been nice. It was a tradition last summer at the Rogers store that, at the end of the day, I'd … Continue reading 2020-05-26 — I Bought Sugar Today…

Happy Monday, me peeps! 😊 Something doesn't quite feel right. It's 10:43 a.m., not 1:30 a.m., and I've already gone for my nightly run instead of still needing to go out! 🙃 We're currently on tornado watch, so my venturing out far away from home on the run got nixed, so about half the run … Continue reading 2020-05-25 — Slow and Steady
