God Damn It
This insomnia is killing me. I had a short day because I got tired so soon. I thought that was good because I need to wake up early this morning to get to Hickman, CA for the Dave Wilson Nursery fruit tasting on time. I went to bed at something like 11 pm. Then I snapped awake at 3:30amish. And couldn't get back to sleep. At first I just ( Read more... ) -
First Day
Insomnia kicked in again last night. I probably didn't get to sleep until 4:30 am or so. Woke up at 8am, puttered, took a Benadryl, went back to bed. Woke up again at 3pm -ish ( Read more... ) -
Nothing Works Like Public Humiliation?
I am in awful physical health. I wasn't in great health before my surgeries, but the way the recovery from the second surgery went put me in a tailspin from which I have not yet pulled out. I've had all sorts of evening epiphanies about starting to eat low carb again (which has worked best for me in the past and is more likely to keep me off the ( Read more... ) -
Xanadon't
I've done a lot of trolling of YouTube in the throes of my insomnia (perhaps it's contributing to the problem). Tonight I bounced around from Craig Ferguson to Julie Andrews to Gene Kelly...and that brought me to Xanadu. I love musicals and always have. I have been a fan of mythology since I was a nipper. Likewise with romance and fantasy. So ( Read more... ) -
Dos and Don'ts
Good lord. The experience I had going to Oh La Lounge last night, plus my insomnia/depression, plus some reading I've done on the interwubs have me in a funk. I have a terrible time living in the now and all too easily flip back to bad past experiences and worry about the future. Friends and my shrink have warned me about this. I'm trying to ( Read more... ) -
Sleepless
I am in the middle of a bad period of insomnia. I never used to suffer from insomnia. The only times in life I've had trouble sleeping have been periods when I've been dumped by a boyfriend. I couldn't stop thinking about it at the end of the day and thus couldn't sleep ( Read more... ) -

If You Loved Yourself, You'd Be a Masochist
Last night, I asked my brother in email for a bit of help checking in with me to help me keep on track with fitness goals. I had a long conversation with him this morning and he offered me a bit of advice on why relying on someone else for check-ins wouldn't be such a good idea ( Read more... ) -
Hell Hath Frozen Over
My weird sleeping cycle ended up being weird in a new way today: I woke up at 6am. And since I have a hard enough time exercising without trying to do it in the summer heat, I forced myself to suit up and get out on my bicycle. I biked through Aquatic Park almost to the ped/bike bridge, then looped back and overshot to the Emeryville Amtrak ( Read more... ) -
RIP Rory Root 1958 - 2008
My first job in the Bay Area, and the happiest job experience I've yet had, was working for Comic Relief in Berkeley. I just got the news today that my old boss Rory Root has died. It hasn't been long, but already if you Google, you will find the tributes pouring in. And they're deserved. While I'm sad that Rory has passed away at such a young ( Read more... )
