Today I am exhausted. It is the exhaustion that can only come with the hormone changes that come with my period. I anticipate a bad one considering how horrible I feel already. Sometimes I get so anemic that I get dizzy and fall. I had difficulty getting out of bed today and I have been struggling with work all day. I am constantly on the verge of ( Read more... )

So I did it. I lounged on a public beach in a broomstick skirt and my bikini top. I was comfortable in the hot sun and I got lots of complements on my back tattoo that was fully visible for a change. If anyone had any issues with my outfit they didn't make it known to me. I just hope that no one has taken any pictures to make nasty memes with.

Last summer I started making a pin up style bikini to wear at the beach. Unfortunately the pattern wasn't very good and the top didn't fit well at all. I was discouraged and frustrated so I just tossed it to the corner of the table and decided not to deal with it for a while.

Since the holidays ended, I have been fighting a cold that became bronchitis and no longer had the energy to keep the blues away. I barely left the ( Read more... )

For the past few months, my Prednisone hunger has been really bad and I have done a terrible job controlling my eating. I gained back all the weight I had lost earlier in the year. I rang in 2014 at the same weight that I rang in 2013. A number of weight loss experts talk about mindful eating. It is all about eating only when you are hungry, paying ( Read more... )

So the past couple of weeks had some pretty intense ups and downs. If things had gone the way I expected them to, I would be picking up my keys to my location today. Instead I am working on my Plan B. My lack of Plan B always bothered me. I would stop mid working on my business and think, "what if this all falls apart, what will I do?" and I never ( Read more... )

One of the lessons that we learned in business school is that sometimes you just need to cut your losses and walk away. Sometimes you need to admit that a business deal is not in your best interest and although you may have invested time and money into it, the best course of action is to walk away. i made that decision this week ( Read more... )
