It's almost 5:30 PM on a Thursday afternoon and my "to-do" for the workday is barely dented.  There are days like today when I think, what the heck did I do all day?  I mean, I didn't just sit there and twiddle my thumbs, I got busy responding to emails, pulling my bid package together, talking through an options analysis with my manager, reviewing ( Read more... )

It is Monday and one would think that I would come back from the weekend refreshed and ready to attack what was on my overflowing plate at work. . . well, far from the truth.  I can't focus and I am getting distracted easily.  I am reaching for things to munch on to stay on track but its not working.  I don't know what is wrong with me.  All I want ( Read more... )

Hi Everyone!


( Read more... )

I sit here posting with an ice pack on my right foot.  I'm stubborn, I know it.  I went and worked on the elliptical today anyways.  I feel worthless in my workouts and the erg (rowing machine) and the bike just is not doing it for me.  When my cardio workout is bad, everything is bad.  I guess I'm being a bit of a grump.
