Breaking News: I’m Still Sick

Somehow I am still sick, which seems unbelievable to me since I’ve pretty much been coughing nonstop for three weeks (with a minor break last week). I used to get sick all the time in college, likely from the close living quarters, lack of sleep and sometimes poor nutrition. But I’ve only had two sicknesses, [...]

Sarah’s Key: A Great Read

I finished reading a really interesting book last week that educated me about some of the terrible things that happened in France during World War II and nearly brought me tears. Told from two perspectives, “Sarah’s Key” by Tatiana de Rosnay, was a heart-wrenching tale of a girl and a woman brought together by a [...]

A holly jolly Christmas

I can’t believe Christmas is over and New Year’s Eve is nearly upon us. This holiday season has absolutely flown by for me, likely because I was sick for nearly all of December. I got a lot better last week at home, but something seems to have re-activated my symptoms or else I’m sick with [...]

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Eve! I’m home in New Hampshire, enjoying a few non-sick days off for the holidays. We’ve pretty much been laying low, although brother bear and I did trek to the Humane Society yesterday to check out some adorable puppies. We both fell in love with a German Shepard named “Jenna” and we can’t [...]

Ready to carve some tracks

I’m headed home tonight to spend some time with the family for Christmas. I’m excited about having a few days off from work to continue my recovery from being sick and be in New Hampshire for a bit. I wish Mike and I were spending the holiday together too though. Our Christmas celebrations last weekend [...]

Back in business

I’m finally getting better after being sick for a week, so I thought it was time to start blogging again. I’m not 100% better yet, but compared to how sick I was, I feel like a new person. Or at least like the same person I was before I got sick. I’m only working two [...]

Just what the doctor ordered

Since my last post about just breathing more, I haven’t really been able to do much of that because I’ve been sick! I had a headache for four days last week and coupled with some soreness, I thought it was just payback for not going to the gym much in the last few months. But [...]

Just breathe

Whew–what a whirlwind week! I definitely prefer being busy to bored, but sometimes I feel like a need to take a breather and this is one of those times. Hopefully this weekend will provide some much-needed rest and relaxation, although I do have a mounting list of holiday preparations that need to get done. But [...]

Years scattered like splinters

“Summers and winters, scattered like splinters, and four or five years slipped away.”–Jimmy Buffett
No, I’m not becoming a Buffett fan (parrot heads I believe they’re called), but I’ve always really liked that song lyric and it seemed appropriate to use today …
It’s difficult to believe, but I’ve lived in Boston for two whole years. I [...]

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

I was lucky enough to have a very relaxing weekend complete with our first real snowfall (that stuff back in October doesn’t count) and some festive tree decorating. I bailed on going home for the Festival of Trees because of the weather and my need to just breathe for a couple of days. Having absolutely [...]
