  • And Why Are We In This Hand Basket?

    [COVID Day Five Hundred Seventy One] There are a ton of things going on these days, but I’m mostly focused on those super high cholesterol and triglyceride numbers. Obsessed, even. Healthy obsession, I promise. When you’re going on a trip, it’s important to understand where you’re starting, where you’re going, and how you’re getting there.…

  • The Ten Day Work Trip

    [COVID Day Five Hundred Seventy] I finally packed. The day of the flight. And I made the flight. And flying domestically within the United States is every bit as scary as I thought it’d be – no vaccine verification, no COVID test verification, just wear a mask, pack into the overbooked plane and hope you…

  • Ready to Fly Again?!?

    [COVID Day Five Hundred Sixty Six] I am traveling for work, having not traveled for eighteen months, starting on Monday, lasting for ten days, and not going to one conference, but, technically, only two, but with LOTS of day zero events and social events and everything that goes on in between.

  • Wait, what?

    [COVID Day Five Hundred Sixty Four] Last night as I was falling asleep, I was coughing, like ya do, and instead of chilling out as I fell asleep, it just kept getting worse. Until I threw up. A lot. “Ah, okay, sicker then I thought.” #Noted Except now I’m working in America where you cannot…

  • I Exist!

    [Dutch Lock Down Day Five Hundred Fifty Four] It’s not a song or anything, I’m just saying I’m not a bot. I’m here. Just still… settling in and figuring things out. Like daily routines for example… I rip myself out of bed at seven twenty in order to get kids dressed but I forgot to…

  • Holy Crap

    [Dutch Lock Down Day Five Hundred Twenty Three] It’s been like ten forevers since I’ve blogged. Oke, but seriously, I am sorry I’ve been missing in action, but also it’s been #LikeThat THAT stressful. THAT busy. THAT low priority. Also, the site’s been broken – 503 – a LOT. And then the Add New and…

  • Moving Back to the States: The Last Walk

    [Dutch Lock Down Day Five Hundred Two] This morning I woke up at 0330 because of a panic attack and also because I went to bed at 2130 and also because jet lag is a punk. I struggled to go back to sleep but at four I gave up the ghost, pulled myself out of…
