keeping on….

i am trying to get back into the habit of reading and writing almost daily if not every day.

when i got home from burning man this year, one of the things i decided to try to change in my life was caffeine consumption. i am going to try very hard to give it up. so far, i have been successful by not drinking any coffee or tea that isn’t decaf, and that only rarely. my big challenge right now is diet soda. i LOVE diet soda and i had bought a case about a month and a half ago that was not caffeine free that we need to finish up. after that, no more for me, or i will buy the caffeine free variety. i need to get d to help me finish the rest of that soda! i am marginally interested that in going to fast food places and such, VERY rarely are you able to get a drink that is both caffeine and sugar free, aside from water. i guess i need to drink more water, eh? heh.

i think i caught a wee bit of a cold from one of the midgets we encountered this weekend. for whatever reason, i was feeling super run-down last night and i think i might have been asleep by 9pm! i had a wee bit of a sore throat, which i believe was from nasal stuff, so i medicated myself with some night time stuff and conked out. i did make dinner for my family right after work, made it to fire class yesterday, although i didn’t feel like doing much (didn’t dance, that is), picked up my poi half-heartedly and spun one time when i got to cold to function without burning something. heh. then headed home early and sacked out. maybe it was still just recovery from the weekend. i feel okay today, but slept in AGAIN, made myself about half an hour later than normal from work and STILL feel a bit tired. hopefully, i can OD on echinachea and vitamin c for a little bit and knock this out, if it’s a virus, before things get ugly. i hate being sick!

my daughter has been seeking me out lately to say hi, connect with me and make sure that i hear about her day and happenings. she’s doing really well in school and i can’t tell you how happy this makes me. she’s first in her class in her math class, and doing well in the others too. it feels great to have that young woman in my life and in my house. her housekeeping skills still leave A LOT to be desired, but i am hoping that will come with time =)

have a great day, everyone.

peace.
