I love pearls. I always have. My lifelong friend's grandmother gave me a 'fake' pearl necklace on my 16th birthday. I remember it so much. Kind of a funny laugh when I think about it. Miranda's dad was driving us to church. I was sitting behind Doug and his mom, Miranda's grandmother, was sitting next …
It has been raining a monsoon lately. Many flash flood downpours. I didn't plan on running today, but when I checked the weather and saw I had enough time to jump outside before more rain, out the door I went. I didn't prepare for running. I wasn't hydrated enough. Typical Midwest weather. It was cloudy …
I'm late on writing this blog, but better late than never. Work has been insanely busy and have no energy to do much else. My mood on Monday was very mixed. Work was nearly too much. In the afternoon I knew I had to take care of another piece of my dad's estate. Anything to …
I woke up crying and still crying...and it's not even noon yet. I decided to jump out for a run before 9 am. Sun was shining and my heart craved that Vitamin D. When I run, I listen to a live country station out of Nashville. Of course, I know it's Father's Day. DJ was …
Tough morning. I was really missing the ones I love. I worked in my garage to fill the void. That was short-lived. I have it just about completely organized. I received an email that paperwork to put my dad's house on the market was ready, but am I? I'm selling it simply "as is". I …
I completed this week running three times. SHOCKING. I have not done this in so long. Today was hot and humid, my favorite weather. I love the sweating out toxins. My favorite former manager reads my blogs. I know she read my last one about what my dad said about smiling. She posted on my …
To say I get 4-5 hours sleep a night is an understatement. My job is global. I am on a project that is trying to kill me. My Type A personality doesn't allow me to sleep much. I cannot turn off my brain and constantly think of what I have to do. I was talking …
A blog two days in a row. I'm starting over in so many ways, but today is about starting over running again. I got an injection in my right hip over three weeks ago. Actually this was my second injection. I haven't run since before my first injection in early October. My doctor stated I …
Friday I had to drive over and pick up my dad's death certificate. I know he's gone, but seeing his name with the official seal stings a whole lot! One of the memories I had about my dad was many years ago, we used to drive to this small town in Kentucky. (I would drive; …
I haven't written in a while. I still cannot find the words to write what I would love to write so I'll just tell you about 4:30. Long story short. I closed on my house. My dad died. All in a matter of a few days. My world has crashed. My dad was my world. …
