A Bad Workout

Last night, I hit a barbecue, drank cocktails, ate a ton of food, so this morning, I was anxious to hit the trail and work it off.
It was cold and damp, but I knew if I laced up and headed out, I would feel better.
The trail, which runs through a big park, relaxes me. [...]

Reflections on a Lazy Sunday

I have stopped posting every day for no good reason except that I am boring, busy, and giddily involved in a new relationship where we’re being adorable for no good reason.

My Favorite Exes

At the end of a hideously bad day, I met W for a glass of wine at my neighborhood dive bar. It’s not a real dive bar. It’s a hipster dive bar, but I love love love it. They have excellent food (see, not a real dive bar) and I like the [...]

Disordered Thinking

I am under a tremendous amount of stress and pressure, much of it financial, some of it personal, and some of it a combination of the two (I owe my ex-ish BFD money, which sucks).
I don’t have much money right now, so I am being careful with what I am eating at home, and I [...]
