Exhausted

July 9, 2015July 19, 2015 Crankygiraffe10 Comments

I've been back at work for a week now, and I'm exhausted.  I'm also feeling my long-gone grumpiness creeping  back to get me.  I'm sure it's all a combination of just coming back from vacation, having been on some pretty slack rotations before that, not getting enough sleep, and working 11+ hour days every day.… Continue reading Exhausted

Quick Goals Update

May 5, 2015May 5, 2015 Crankygiraffe4 Comments

I'm going to do this month's goals update a little differently - mostly for the sake of time and brevity.  My goals can be broadly categorized into Physical Wellbeing, Emotional/psychological Wellbeing, and Other (I guess).  I'll still use the same colour coding as before, but I'll just give a brief update for each category: Physical… Continue reading Quick Goals Update

What Was I Thinking?

February 10, 2015February 9, 2015 Crankygiraffe12 Comments

One Thousand Kilometers? Where did I get such a crazy idea???  I am 5 weeks into the year and I'm supposed to be running about 20Km a week if I want to stay on track for the goal.  My total this far: 28Km.  Talk about lazy (or busy, maybe)!  But still... If I want to… Continue reading What Was I Thinking?

Welcome to February

February 2, 2015February 2, 2015 Crankygiraffe3 Comments

The first month of 2015 is now behind me.  January went by fast, and I can't decide if that is a good thing or not.  Either way, I think time is just going to go by faster as it goes on.  At the beginning of the year, I set numerous goals for myself with the… Continue reading Welcome to February

Back to Gratitude (Weeks 3 & 4)

January 29, 2015January 29, 2015 Crankygiraffe3 Comments

Over the past few weeks, I haven't been making time to actually sit down and write about the things I am grateful for.  I always say I know what they are, but I am beginning to realize that by not taking the time to identify them and write them down, I am not getting the… Continue reading Back to Gratitude (Weeks 3 & 4)

Blogger Friends Got Ideas!

Yesterday, after my Alter Ego, Cranky Giraffe, posted about my son’s crazy little love letter to his newest idol, Lady Gaga, an old old blogging friend tweeted it, with an idea that maybe he could meet her!  I know the likelihood of it being re-tweeted by anyone other than myself is pretty low… But who […]

It’s Been a Long Time…

“It’s been a long time since I came around Been a long time but I’m back in town And this time I’m not leaving without you” ~Stefani Germanotta (Lady Gaga) I know I haven’t been here blogging for quite a long time (almost a year and a half…), but there was something about blogging that […]

The Common Sense Problem

The airplane seat map shows that the emergency exit row seats are considered “less desirable.” It’s a little ironic since they come with extra leg room, even if they don’t recline (really, who needs to recline 2 inches when you have two extra feet of leg room?). I think the real reason they are less […]

Walking Tall

This month I’m traveling around the country to check out fellowship positions. It is exhausting, trying, lonely, and often confusing. Most of all, I miss my kids. I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how fellowship and moving to one of these places would fit into the current, ideal, little life of […]

Happiness, Please

Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that, but simply growth.  We are happy when we are growing. ~John Butler Yeats, 1909 Is there a difference between pleasure and happiness? I had never really thought much about it until today.  My husband sent me an interview by Dr. Robert Lustig, who just […]
