In which Scott came home for lunch and told me it’s now confirmed that we can actually move this weekend. Today: pack. Tomorrow: pack. The day after: pack and clean. Saturday: MOVE. RENT A TRUCK AND MOVE TO UPTOWN. Sunday: unpack. Monday: unpack. Tuesday: drive to Chicago for a 3-day Amma program. I blew off […]
In which many exciting changes — a move, a job change, and not one but two opportunities for travel — are afoot! The lease is up here, and while this apartment has some incredible amenities — such as southern exposure, a gas range, amazing cross-ventilation, and a wonderful view of a park with a pond […]
In which I’ve been tracking what I eat. According to the BMR Calculator, to maintain my weight I should be eating 1,920 calories per day. To lose a pound a week, it should be 1,420. Out of curiosity, without doing any kind of dieting except avoiding white bread, I tracked what I ate this week. […]

In which there are pictures. On Friday I worked for 6 hours and got a flu shot. Then I ate this adorable lunch. On the way home, I stopped and bought these flowers to go along with the orange lights and pumpkin that my beloved had already brought home. Autumnal! When Scott got home after […]
In which I have rejoined the regular people. Once upon a time, I was married. My spouse, who said, “You don’t have to worry about money. We can always get more money,” and whom I believed, talked me into quitting my job. And then he quit working himself, so we lived on my credit cards […]
