Last week kicked off the first of many shortened work weeks for me. Some people like to use their vacation days in chunks sprinkled throughout the year. Me, I like to take a few days here and there to create several very long weekends. This approach gives me a mini vacation every 4-6 weeks. This […]

Get Your Sweat On

November 7, 2011
Infrared saunas provide an easy and relaxing way to remove toxins.

I have rediscovered my love for the steam room and sauna. It all began last Friday evening after a long and emotionally draining week. Isaac convinced me that I’d feel better after some exercise.

Just when I thought I had braved the worst, I got an unexpected sucker punch to the face yesterday. It’s another work-related issue that I can’t discuss in detail, but it has me feeling furious, humiliated, and conquered. I feel done, caput, annihilated. And it’s sad.
