It's nearly complete! The only thing that isn't here yet is the bookshelf, because Stickley custom builds (lest you think that uber-expensive, it's actually no worse than buying a banker's bookshelf from, say, J.C. Penney). I LOVE coming home to our house now. So worth it. We live in a very small house (1000 square feet), which I like for a number ( Read more... )

I've lost 12 pounds since I was last weighed at the doc. Feels good to be getting less fat. I'm watching what I eat, but I'm not going hungry. And I'm drinking one or two glasses of wine most nights ( Read more... )

1) I've been sick, and I'm almost better. A cold that became a sinus/lung thing. B got the cold, but it didn't turn into a big to-do the way mine did. It's also one of those that impacts one's mood. I was grouchy as hell for a week, and tired, and now he is. Poor Husband.

I haven't been sick in a couple of years. Because I work in a huge public ( Read more... )

We're going to have carpet replaced in the Library soon, which means that the monolithic reference desk (which is actually *5* pieces of furniture, two of which are used for public stand-up computers on the public-facing side, cabinets and drawers on our side - and on one of them, CARD CATALOG DRAWERS!) will need to be moved. We're going to use ( Read more... )

My overnight shift went well. I slept well last night from 8:30pm-12:45am, got to work a little early, worked till 10. Then B and I went for a 3 mile run and I came home and had lunch and a nap. I'm tired right now, but not fuck you tired. Hopefully I'll be able to get to sleep early tonight so that I can pull it off one more time.

I'm making this ( Read more... )

I just ran a couple of miles as a work break. I work along a beautiful river walk, and the trees are turning. I need to do that more often. It feels fracking GREAT, gets be out of my head and back into my body. I love to run in my Vibram 5 fingers. I feel so good wearing these things.

Anyhow, I'm reading Born To Run and despite some journalistic ( Read more... )

Am in north carolina visiting my mom. Really a two day catch up would do but it's a long-as trip so I'm staying for a eeeeeeek. Two of those days I'm going to virginia to visit some idaho friends who moved recently and i'm so excited! I'm enjoying seeing my mom but feeling restless, missing husband's and dogs and boot camp class.

Friday through Monday I was at a yoga meditation retreat here in Boise (I stayed at the retreat center, though). It was a lovely gift to myself. The schedule was 7-8 chanting and breathwork, then breakfast; 9:30-12 yoga and iRest meditation; lunch; 3:30-6 various yoga and meditation practices; dinner; 7:30-9 chanting one night, poetry the other.

Today, I feel great. I puttered around doing some housekeeping and talking to my honey this morning, then went to boot camp and had my ASS HANDED TO ME ON A PLATTER. It was FUN and I feel STRONG and good. RAWR ( Read more... )

I've been not posting because I don't feel anything to write about. Whenever I open this window, I have nothing to say. How could I possibly be interesting with nothing to say ( Read more... )
