T-2, Day 14 (or Day 2 depending on how you look at it)
14 more days to go until the Christmas holiday. Since I have worked several hours from home during the past few weeks without getting paid for it, I am giving myself guilt free time to do my own stuff today. (OK, maybe I feel a little guilt.) Yesterday I had a dentist appointment. I need [...]
15 more days of work
I quit my job. I gave them about two and a half month’s notice because four other people quit right before me and I didn’t want to leave them in the lurch. I’ve been calling in sick a lot because sometimes I just can’t stand going in. (There is a reason all those other people [...]
My inner “masculinity”/”feminity” scale
Theresa Dinito writes about the dread of feeling masculine: Masculine? Masculine. Ah, there’s the rub. The real double bind: feeling masculine.

November Day at Mission Trails Regional Park
The sign at the front of the trail warned about mountain lions. I waited until I heard other people’s voices before I started hiking, and as I hiked I made sure to look tall and confident and looked around for weapons. My friend’s aunt had her dog snatched off the porch right in front of [...]
“…there is more to life than not dying.”
…consider that all those calculations of what is “in my interest” and what will benefit me and what I can “afford” grow tiresome. When we live rightly, decision by decision, the heart sings even when the rational mind disagrees and the ego protests. Besides, human wisdom is limited. Despite our machinations, we are ultimately unsuccessful [...]
I wish this was still true
I just saw the below post saved in my drafts. Last year I wrote: I go to a UU church and I’m so proud of it. I wish that was still true. Sermon Links: signposts of spiritual maturity I’m looking for signposts of spiritual maturity so that I can advertise for them in my online [...]
B’s decisions and techniques for happy and healthy exercise and eating
* Eat whatever I want to whenever I want to. * Don’t eat anything I don’t want to. (I just discovered this one.) * Only exercise if I feel like exercising. * If I feel like moving, let myself move! (I just discovered this one!) These decisions are about noticing how I feel and completely [...]
