I was talking to my boss today, exchanging our weekend plans, and both of us said pretty much the same thing: recovering. Continue reading

holy productiveness, Batman!
After weeks/months/years(?) of putting it off and putting it off, I’m FINALLY officially on to rewriting book 2 of my thesis. I’m amazed at how much I got done tonight… granted, I wrote myself into a bit of a corner (for now) and the whole time I’m thinking “Does this make sense?” “Should I edit it down?” “How will this work with the flow of book I?” but I was still successful in telling myself to power through it enough to get about 4 pages and 1000+ words written.
And that is usually the hardest part. Continue reading
The District Sleeps Alone Tonight
Well, DC and my life are finally back to normal, although it will probably take me longer to recover than it will take the District. Continue reading

Swimming in it.
Dear God, I’m swimming in the busy right now… I hate to neglect this one outlet for writing that I’m trying to keep up with, but I’m currently in the middle of daily production hell.

touched.
so, today is Mother’s Day. I’ve felt pretty ambivalent about this holiday–not because I don’t love my mother, or other mothers for that matter, but I guess it’s beginning to feel kind of pointless to celebrate these holidays at all.

If you’re interested in walking and would like to join my team or would just like to donate to the cause, you can sign up here.
a collective sigh of relief.
Well, after being MIA for the past few weeks, I’m hoping life will allow me to enjoy a little down time and normalcy. At least for a week. Continue reading
Home is Where the Heart Aches.
I’m currently working on my latest work project: getting articles pre-written for a nursing conference my group will be covering in DC next week.
Right now I’m writing up bios for committee members, essentially reading their CVs and their mission statements about why being a nurse is so important to them.
I can’t help but feel a little sad while working on this. Before getting sick, my mom was an RN for 20+ years. She loved her job and loved working with people and loved giving nursely (yeah, I made that word up) advice. Continue reading
