Seriously. Taking the day off.

I’m not in the mood to write this morning. This has just been a really bad week: lack of sleep, a large and difficult workload, stress at work and zero exercise. All of those factors, combined with a couple of other things, has me feeling like I’m about to explode this morning. Rather than sit here and whine about my problems, I’m going to do something that always makes me feel better when I’m stressed:… [Read more]

I don't really sleep with a stuffed bear. Well, not too often, anyway. Took a rare nap yesterday; Slept well last night.

I can count on one hand the number of naps I’ve taken over the past 10 years. I really dislike taking naps during the waking hours, but yesterday was one of those rare occasions when I felt I had no choice. I was not making very good progress with my huge workload, and I kept making stupid mistakes while logged into critical servers as “root” (the administrator account in Unix/Linux). After one particularly dangerous error,… [Read more]

I might make another one. Seriously. Sleepless in Orlando.

Facing a huge workload while in a zombie-like state is not the greatest way to start off a week, but that’s my story this morning. Last night was one of those nights that I simply could not quiet my mind. I woke up about 1:00 AM and tossed and turned for more than an hour before finally getting up. After blankly staring at my computer monitor for a couple of hours, I went back to… [Read more]

Tufted Tit Mouse. Beautiful morning; Inspiring life transformation video.

It’s a fairly cool (65° F) morning, and so I’ve been out back doing some light weeding, pruning and fertilization. I don’t enjoy weeding very much, but even that chore is tolerable when it’s this nice outside! Many of the creatures that frequent our backyard have become very trusting of me. Some of the squirrels barely pay attention to me when I approach, and many of the birds now allow me to get within touching… [Read more]

April 2012 Transformation Spotlight: FatLenny! April 2012 Transformation Spotlight: FatLenny

When Terry began his transformation he weighed in at a scale-busting 336 pounds.
