Just stopped at Kroger. To pick up my groceries. Because I would rather risk a 14 year old choosing random food items for me than spend my time wandering around aisles. And humans. Looking for food items. So as I’m opening up my back door for the child to load my groceries into, an older … Continue reading Never Judge a Cook By Her Female Parts
Importance of a Good Project Manager
Let’s talk about the importance of a skilled project manager for project success. Approximately half the world I know is moving. Including my parents. I’m excellent at hard labor. So I willingly offer myself up as such. I refuse, however, to be involved in any decision-making. My brain is simply not equipped at current. Unless … Continue reading Importance of a Good Project Manager
Trail Running Discomfort
My recovery vacation is coming to a close. *sigh* I had one last mountain to get to. Day Creek. It's close. It's challenging. It has views. It has options. Woke up at 5:30. AM. To rain. Just so much rain. Just relentless, cold, heavy rain. I didn't want to go out into the rain. I … Continue reading Trail Running Discomfort
My New White Trail Shoes
"You bought white trail shoes??" I bought the trail shoes that were on sale. And they happened to be white. Because I buy what I can afford. But I've also learned to buy what my feet enjoy. My trail feet enjoy Solomon's. My bank account says I can afford Solomon's. If they're on sale. So, … Continue reading My New White Trail Shoes
All The Ways I Was Me Recently
Haven't been on any adventures lately. So, I haven't had much to write about. But here are all the ways I’ve been exactly me over the last few months. I'm sure none of it will be surprising.

My Year as a Project Management Impersonator
One year. I’ve been impersonating an ed tech project manager for one full year. About a month ago, I celebrated my one-year anniversary in my new career. As an ed tech project management impersonator. One year of fumbling my way through projects I didn't understand. In a language I didn't know. In a culture that … Continue reading My Year as a Project Management Impersonator
Diagnosis: Wonky
First, let me say that whoever designed Lewis Gale Medical Center is...I mean it’s kind of like they started with one reasonably designed building. And then just started throwing extra rooms all over the place. Like the Weasleys. Until they just ended up with this random collection of poorly assembled buildings that have no logical … Continue reading Diagnosis: Wonky
I Ain’t Fancy
My boss tricked me into going to a gala event with her last night. And then she had to cancel. So I went. Alone. I wanted to have to cancel, too. But I'm a big girl now. Making big girl career moves. So I went. Alone. Put on make up. And heels. And everything. And … Continue reading I Ain’t Fancy
Trail Nut Sweeping
"Sounds confusing but it isn’t that bad." That was in the email Master Mountain Junkie sent Rogue and me about sweeping the Trail Nut Half Marathon on Saturday. We were splitting the half into two loops. I picked the first loop. "Sounds confusing but it isn't that bad." He then proceeded to send a series … Continue reading Trail Nut Sweeping
Prednisone
So, prednisone. Y’all ever tried this stuff? I was on it a few years back for a vicious case of poison ivy. But I think I got a bad batch. Or just working in education is sufficient enough hell to counteract any positive effects. Because y’all. Kroger finally got my prednisone prescription in two days … Continue reading Prednisone
