The Week Ahead
Going to keep it short this morning. Had a great weekend, including seeing Built to Spill live for the first time in like 20 years. Cat’s Cradle is still great. Other part of the weekend is that I woke up Saturday and had some sciatica (new word for me provided by the teledoc I talked…

Adjustments + Looking Forward To This Week
One adjustment to a new job I didn’t think about very much beforehand but am now noticing acutely is the need to make shifts to habits and routines. In my old role, I worked most evenings Monday-Thursday, usually for 2-3 hours each night coaching, and I took a similar amount of time during the day…

What I’m Looking Forward to this Week
I’m sleeping a ton right now–I’ve slept past 9AM every day since I’ve been unemployed–and it reminds me of when I was a teacher and I used to get deathly ill at the end of every semester. I’d be pushing myself as hard as I could, and as soon as my body could take a…

What I’m Looking Forward to This Week
Well, the first thing I noticed this morning is that I don’t have a very heavily scheduled week, so I guess I’m looking forward to seeing what emerges, and to having space for that. Still…this list feels a little light and it has me wondering if I need to manufacture more things to look forward…

Reflections #3: Monday After Break Edition
Day one back at work. What’s that been like? Mentally: A little bit foggy. I had trouble focusing on reading before work, and as I delved into a deeper reflection, I was having a hard time focusing. This could be a result of not sleeping particularly well, and/or that I’m out of practice. I spent…

Daily Reflections
I’ve been avoiding writing here for weeks, maybe months at this point. The excuses are legion: I’m too tired this morning, I’m sick, we got a puppy, the image isn’t the right size, it’s not perfect. And yet, here we are, imperfect, at the end of a year where people keep saying it’s tough, we’ve…
