I’m a stressball

career, goal setting, travel / 11 Comments

So you’ve probably noticed I haven’t been blogging much lately. My then-boyfriend used to tease me about being a “stressball” (meaning, “ball of stress,” not “stress-relieving device”) because I wear my heart on my sleeve and you can always see it very apparently when I’m stressed… and that is the case now. I’m super stressed about: -My health. While I was legit sick last week, I still have chest congestion this week, and I can’t tell if I’m sick or if I’ve suddenly developed a horrendous case of allergies (never had allergies before). I want to try to see a …

A sick start to the week

career, health and fitness, travel / 4 Comments

After taking the day off Thursday and then spending Friday working from bed, you would think that I would be better. In fact, on Friday I felt good enough to do a bit of yoga at night. I didn’t really work up a crazy sweat like I do with regular Insanity, but I did get a light sheen that felt great – like I was sweating the toxins right out of me. I stayed in on Friday night, since I needed to be up at 6am on Saturday, but didn’t get much sleep due to all my stressing. Work, marathons, …

Guilty as charged

career, health and fitness / 7 Comments

I woke up this morning feeling awful. In my tiny apartment, the bathroom is about 10 feet from my bed… and yet just lurching into there was exhausting. I wasn’t sick to my stomach or throwing up, but I was more stuffed up than ever, my throat was so hoarse that I could barely croak out a sentence, and I was dizzy as all get out. I couldn’t even imagine looking at my laptop, let alone spend all day working away on it. So I called my boss and told him I was taking a sick day. All sounds pretty …

Oh what a day

career, health and fitness / 3 Comments

Monday was crazy busy again – maybe not quite as bad as last week, but still swamped. To make things worse, on Sunday night I started coming down with a sore throat. It’s been getting progressively worse as the week goes on, until today my boss made the decision to send me home and have me work from there. I’m hoping the pace of work will be a little slower if I’m lying in bed working instead of having to present to some pretty senior clients… but we shall see. Perhaps I can feign laryngitis so that I don’t have …

From raising ruckus to becoming a good little housewife

career / 9 Comments

Today was supposed to be New Jersey race report day, but a few other things have come up that I’m compelled to blog about instead. Last night, I intended to just go out for a drink or two to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. However, as occasionally happens, once I had one drink, I figured one more couldn’t hurt, and then one after that… you get the picture. In a nod to being healthy, though, my drink of choice was seltzer with tequila and a splash of lime – kind of a lower calorie version of a margarita. You definitely have to …
