Motivation = Low

Fair warning: unusually cranky/whiny post ahead. Proceed with caution.

The One Where Kelly Can’t Seem To Pick Herself Back Up…

I came home distressed. I didn’t feel like the midterm went well. I got my homework back and my grade on it was less than stellar. Negative, nihilistic thoughts danced through my head.

I Choose to Perform An All Out Assult on “The Plague”!

I still feel as though I haven’t recovered mentally/emotionally/stress-wise from finals week. That was two weeks ago… I should be basking in the glow of free time, non-required reading, and less stress.

My “Me” Weekend

 

This weekend I spend sleeping in and cuddling with Sarcasman, getting my body moving again, consuming some of my favorite magazines, getting things done around the house that desperately needed to be done to re-claim my sanity, and getting all dolled up and attending a Christmas party. It was a fabulous weekend and left me [...]

Yesterday’s Binge and Sleepless Nights

I am the project manager of a 40 million dollar project we are trying to cobble together. Being in charge [...]
