Stress is a weird thing, don't you think? I mean the way it presents itself can be so insidious. During my waking hours, I think I deal with it pretty well - the meltdown the other evening after arriving home after an hour in the dentist's chair only to find the trash cans still at … Continue reading Mother Mary comes to me

(Not) Making decisions is tiring
I think it's easy to believe that making decisions constantly is an exhausting exercise. From the outside it may seem like the choices necessary when starting a business, which are required constantly - what products to buy, who to buy from, where to buy them, would be completely draining.

For the record, I like it better when the good news follows the bad. I went to see my endocrinologist yesterday. I wasn't scheduled to see her … Continue reading Good news/bad news and a bit of a Grimm tale
Levels of exposure
Things have been a bit odd lately, to the point that I've been wondering about "being out there." In recent weeks, I've been busy, almost exhaustingly so. On more than one occasion, I've fantasized about getting that stomach bug everyone had so I could drop 5lbs and stay in bed for a couple of days. … Continue reading Levels of exposure
