I joined the gym this afternoon. The owner actually remembered me, which was nice. It’s actually a bit less meat-locker-y than I remember it. They have a huge number of classes for seniors and when I was there this afternoon, I’d say the average age was about 45-50. I suspect this has something to do…
So, I kicked off some serious fund raising efforts yesterday and although the walk itself is 317 days away, 20 miles is a lot. And it’s winter. And I am a weather wimp. And I’m running out of paths. A treadmill would offer me the opportunity to walk as far as I want without having…
Heh. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure
It turns out my ideas about exercise aren’t entirely off the mark: Many obesity researchers now believe that very frequent, low-level physical activity — the kind humans did for tens of thousands of years before the leaf blower was invented — may actually work better for us than the occasional bouts of exercise you get…
I really appreciated seeing this post this morning about not focusing so much on the clock. I have a real tendency to do this, scheduling every minute of every day. Today, for example, Geeky Boy and I had to go to the high school to rework his schedule, so I started my planning from there.…

Last week, when I wrote about my clutter and exercise problems, I had every intention of tackling them. I semi-tackled the clutter problem by doing a little clutter reduction in the kids’ rooms. I managed to at least keep new clutter from accumulating, so that’s something. On the exercise front, however, I’ve failed. Truly, the…
Boy, it was hard to go back to work today. My eyes are bloodshot. My head is heavy. And it’s only 8 o’clock. I kept myself alive by drinking lots of caffeine and busying myself with tasks that didn’t require a huge amount of thought. I stayed offline the entire break and so I came…
From Thursday to Sunday, we were one busy family. On Thursday night, Mr. Geeky and I went to see Regina Spektor in concert. She was amazing. I only knew a few of her songs, so almost everything was new to me. What amazed me the most was that it was just her on stage. She…
