The journey of adopting a high raw vegan diet.
Is it Friday yet? Rats, I am ready for this week to be over. Poor Miko has been feeling neglected with me being a little burned out after busy days at work. And I haven’t been feeling too creative in the kitchen this week, there’s lots of stuff I want to do, like dehydrate more [...]
This week is moving along and that’s a good thing heading into a 3 day weekend. And it’s Fat Tuesday, something I’ve never celebrated because indulging on a weeknight is not fun if it means being bloated, cranky, and hungover for work the next day. It’s just another weeknight here with Miko making the rounds [...]
The problem with work weeks before a long holiday weekend is they seem like they’ll never end! I spent most of the day at work thinking it was Thursday and slightly depressed when the reality sunk in that it’s only Wednesday. But it’s been that kind of a week at work! Can I switch places [...]
While our little Napa getaway was fun, it’s nice to get back home and relax with two annoyed dogs that we left them for a few days. And we had a lot of make up play time with Miko which he reminded us of constantly shoving his toy in our faces. And turning to my [...]
It’s been a wacky and stressful week to say the least with so much going on at work, rain, keeping up with workouts and half marathon training, and fighting off another bug going around. I’ve been trying to stick to simple, nutrient dense meals to combat this madness, like a loaded kale salad dressed with [...]
I’m so relaxed that I almost forgot to blog. Okay, not really. But it’s been a laid back day at home with the exception of a trip to Costco. The weather was so perfect that I felt a little bad for not going on a hike or utilizing that more, but it was nice to [...]
Maybe it’s the full moon. Or the odd off-and-on winter weather we’ve had this week. Or maybe dealing with plenty of stress at work with more people out sick this entire week and us healthy ones grumbling about carrying the extra work load and stress. And maybe it has something to do with a co-worker [...]
Even though I said I probably wouldn’t do another half marathon this year, I registered for one yesterday for the end of April. I’m a sucker, but I couldn’t resist when I got a company email looking for employees to join a newly created running team and run this half to raise money for a [...]
The rain has finally stopped here enough to enjoy the sunset. And allowing me to get out to our garden without sinking into a mud pit to see how well the kale and spinach are doing. Our pets are perfectly happy to continue hibernating indoors away from the chilly air, Smokey claiming her favorite sofa [...]
In talking to my mom and sister today, I noticed we vented continuously about feeling stressed, crunched for time, strung out, etc. My mind raced as I listened to all their stresses and tallied my own. That’s been the trend for me this week settling back into a busy schedule at work, catching up with [...]
What’s really frustrating about this week is that even though it’s been busy, it seems to be going by slowly! So hooray for tomorrow being Friday! There’s still so much going on at work and I just feel like I need more time to catch my breath and catch up with my growing task list. [...]
First of all, cheers! Have a glass of wine with me for making it through this much of the week! After the last two days, that’s something to celebrate for me! Work is still nuts, more long days of doing way too much at once with new project after new project. I’m thankful we’re so [...]
I don’t think there are work appropriate words to describe my mood when a co-worker software engineer called me at 12:45 AM this morning to update me on server status because he forgot to call me at, oh, A REASONABLE HOUR! I guess he forgets that not everyone can run on 3 hours of sleep [...]
Shadow, one of our cats, has a strange habit of kneading our couch pillows, he can do this for nearly 30 minutes while zoning out and not noticing anything that’s going on around him or that he’s about to get a nasty surprise if he gets too close Smokey, our pushy female cat, who will [...]
Well happy Tuesday-though-Friday-would-be-better! Today dragged a bit, I woke up with a scratchy throat that insisted on annoying me most of the day. But I did get a larger monitor at work, replacing my old 19″ with a 20″ wide so now I’m running 2 wide screen monitors and am already spoiled! It’d be more [...]
