With my riding partner Kelly being out of town or out of pocket, I found it a convenient excuse to not go riding. Yes, that’s how lame I can be at times. Friday I decided to hit the bike for the first time in almost 2 weeks. Painful and humbling. I [...]

It’s been a pretty good last few days…feeling just about normal again.

The sun’s out and while I’m working on 3 hrs sleep, I seem to be free of the really bad stuff for now.  Maybe it was just a 1-day thing?

It’s been an insane past 4-5 days.  My insomnia has returned and it’s getting worse with each day.  Monday at lunch I went and got my Rx’s refilled and took my first dose that night and have kept the schedule the past 2 days.  Last night I don’t think I came close to deep sleep [...]

I swear, Mondays are not cliche.  After having a Sunday where the term ‘awake’ was unknown for the first 18 hours of the day, I couldn’t fall asleep, which led me to hitting snooze at 615 thinking ‘i feel alright’, snooze at 715 thinking ‘wow, i still feel alright’ and then thinking to myself a [...]

It’s been 10 weeks since the last time I popped a pill.  It was a very graceful comedown, and the whole saving 50 bucks a month in co-pay was attractive.  I really hadn’t noticed much of a change in behavior, either.  I could tell where I was getting more cranky, but if I watched myself [...]

I’ve been hemming and hawing about moving back to Hillcrest for a long time, and have begun thinking more seriously about it these past couple of weeks.  Today there’s a note shoved in my apt’s doorknob.  Is this a big sign or what?
It was a notice to pay my rent, pay it now, or face [...]

Televised pub games galore.  Pool and billiards has been on tv for many years.  The World Poker Tour has taken everyone by storm.  Now, via random channel flipping, I catch the Outdoor Life Network and right now I’m watching the Professional Darts Corporation present their wares to me.  This is thoroughly British, with slightly overweight [...]

Given that I still haven’t gotten around to making any new mixes for the car recently, I burned an old favorite MayDay and have been listening to it the past week or so.  Today I was driving and heard Lodestar by Sarah Harmer again, and just like every other time I hear it, I’m immediately [...]
