Well hello and how are you surviving these fascinating times? Last week was a week at work, trying to prepare a large company to work remotely with a shorthanded team has been interesting and I know many IT Professionals are living the same challenges. Friday was my first full day of working from home and […]
Rain and Celebration for the List
It’s been a great few days off for Thanksgiving, so great I’m a little sad about going back to work tomorrow. Oh well, back to the grind. Thanksgiving started with an easy 4-mile run in the chilly wind. I didn’t mind, so great to see clouds and fall lease everywhere after smoke and dryness during […]
Simple Week Meals
While driving to work yesterday, I caught a story on NPR about climate change and the drastic changes we need to make now so the next generation has a chance to be happy. Nothing really new, but I found myself feeling the same way I have been on long runs lately – feeling like I’m gasping […]
Chill Thanksgiving
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! This week has been a bit of a disorienting blur with Thanksgiving planning, Christmas shopping, odd work schedule, and maybe stressing about my upcoming first marathon! So I’m grateful to relax today, not participate in Black Friday madness, and maybe go for a leisurely run. Wednesday at work […]
Cheap Shoes & Garden Meals

I had every intention of blogging from our campsite and even had posts ready to go, but no cell reception through most of the trip even though the coverage map showed there was coverage – it lied! Disconnecting to enjoy […]
Simple & Chill Eats
Happy almost Friday and I am grateful the weekend is almost here. I’m also grateful for my sweet hubby for always being such an amazing person. I’ve been focusing on a lot of positives this week with so much craziness. I knew it’s been coming for awhile and I’ve been putting it off for as […]
Holiday Eats
Tuesdays are probably my least favorite day of the week. Not even halfway through the work week and it’s usually a busy work day, busy gym day, and busy on call day this week. But I had a great 3.1 mile run at the gym, felt much better than expected after running a half marathon […]
Scenes from Thanksgiving
Popping in with a quick post from Thanksgiving, I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a small, casual day at our house with my parents and Miko took to my dad’s lap. Then fought for my mom’s lap with Leela and her dog. And got a little tired of being french kissed by […]
