Today I ran the snow blower for the first time. It was the first time we needed the snow blower (thank goodness) AND it was the first time I ever experienced the thrill of plowing through deep snow and launching it into outer space. Well, not outer space, but out of the space that it [...]
Cat and Taxes
I’ve been putting it off. I always put it off. Is it hard? Not really. Is it interesting? Not at all. I don’t even DO them, per se. I have an accountant who is a whiz and finds me all kinds of deductions, plus he’s a character and I like him. But what I do [...]

“Yoga Could Save Me, If I’d Let It.”
I’ve been writing for a long time: diaries when I was a girl, journals when I was in college and beyond, and now still the journals and this blog. Today I went back to my first blog, one I made for a college class assignment. I wrote all the code, inserted graphics and pictures and [...]

The Girl In The Picture
A friend of mine who has known me for a LONG time sent me some pictures he found in an old box. Pictures of me. Pictures of me taken over 30 years ago, when I was 25. I am still reeling from the shock of them. I hardly recognized myself. I kept staring at these [...]

Massage
Got a massage today and it was amazing. There were times when I almost konked out, and other times when I was on “high alert” because she was bustin’ some serious moves on some very sore muscles, and it hurt. Not a bad hurt, but I had to keep reminding myself to “allow” the muscle [...]

Running vs. Yoga
While I am doing yoga, I am in a whole different world. I am out of my mind. Literally. While I am running, I am also in a whole different world, but I am totally IN my mind and all I want to do is escape it. In the yoga practice, I explore the interior [...]

Weird Food Person
We got out of Dodge this weekend. Went up to Ithaca to have dinner with Zee, do a little food shopping at Green Star, and just play. It was fun, but you know what? I think I have become “a difficult food person.” Because nothing I ate sat right with me. The Moosewood lunch was [...]
