It is not fun to worry about money. I’ve been fortunate throughout my “adulthood” that I can afford rent, food, entertainment, and everything else, but from time to time, my spending gets away from me and I suddenly feel tight for cash. It’s probably because my roommate won’t pay rent. Silly kitty. I have been a…
I apologize, millions of dedicated followers (hah) for falling off the grid. I genuinely wanted this post to be eloquent and enlightening, but truly, my brain can’t wrap itself around anything for extended periods of time. SO. Here’s what’s on my mind lately. Running and being stupid about it. Unsurprisingly, I pushed myself too hard and…
When I was a kid, I would get suckers, stickers, pencils, and stamps from the doctor or dentist any time I had a good check up, or suffered through a shot or any other little bout of pain. It was the reward; the thing that makes it all ok at the end, and made me…
Recently, I’ve spent every evening feeling very anxious, and a little overwhelmed. I’ve been working harder this past week to focus on my part-time position as the Marketing Director for the Rochester Gay Men’s Chorus, as well as my dedication to motivate others as a fitness coach (which has been going amazing!). I have a…
Tired. I am so so tired. I always forget how much half marathon training tires me out. I’m working out seven days a week, for a half hour minimum. Not to mention the time it takes to get ready and clean up (namely, deal with my fuzz ball hair problem) after. It’s a lot of…
Strangely, I’ve found myself having the same conversation with different people these past few days. I’ve been talking about my choices, specifically, when it comes to food and drinks. If you’re tuning in for literally the first time to this blog, here’s the short version. I used to be overweight and self conscious. Now, I’m…
I am writing this without intention of going back and editing as I normally do; I’m also falling asleep on my couch. It’s 10:23. I’ve been falling asleep on my couch for the past half hour, occasionally being woken back up by meaningless notifications from FitBit on my iPhone. Each time I snap back awake and…
Wow-wee. It’s strange how much one event can effect so many other things throughout the day. Yesterday I woke up just like any other day. I got myself ready for work, made some lunch and packed up my gym bag. It was the day after a big snow storm, and I was frustrated as I…
In the over-a-year that I’ve been living on my own, I’ve only been sick a few times. Nothing too terrible (oh, ok, except that time that I landed in the hospital), but this week I was hit by some virus that left me on the couch for a few days. When I was younger, or…
I’ve grown up with Judaism as a large influence on my life. I went to Hebrew School, spent hours studying for my Bat Mitzvah, and participated in countless community events. It’s a part of me, and always will be. Being Jewish always made me “different.” It made me the “other” in a lot of situations….
