  • Why, Oh Why, Do I Still Have the Zombie Plague Virus?

    Or, you know, a cold. The question remains: Why does my body insist on maintaining this hacking cough, this running nose, these achy sinuses, and, did I mention?, this hacking cough? I don’t generally get sick that often, but when I do, boy, do I ((That sentence totally makes sense. I think. I’d blame the […]

  • Icky Sicky

    When I was in university (the first time ((Or first three times, depending on if you count each degree as it’s own “time”.)) through), after exams, I would always get sick. My theory for this is that during high stress periods, like exam time, the stress hormone cortisol is high. One of the functions of […]

  • My Muscle Fibres Are Conspiring Against Me

    For the second time in three days, I woke up with a charley horse in my right calf this morning. The last time I had a bout of charley horses, the culprit ended up being insufficient amounts of sodium – I was doing a lot of physical activity and eating only things I’d been making […]

  • October, You Exhaust Me

    Is this thing on? Apparently I decided to go from my month of blogging all the damn time to complete radio silence. We are going into the home stretch of the core part of the MBA program ((Where by “core” they mean “insanely impossibly insanely impossible workload”.)), so all my waking hours have been spent […]

  • Fill It!

    Went to the dentist for a wee filling in one of my molars. I haven’t had very many filling in my life, but the few times I have, I tend to get all the way to the dentist’s office and into the chair before it really registers that they are going to give me a […]

  • Train For It!

    Today I ran my last long run before the Victoria half marathon. It was 20 km, which required me to run from the New West Quay, which is near my place, all the way to Vancouver and back! 20 km is a lot of kms. As you may recall, I decided back in June that […]

  • I’m Sexy and I Know It!

    Props again to Cath for coming up with this blog posting’s title! Got my hair done by the amazing Jenny Lynn at Rain Hair Salon:

  • August Challenge – How Did I Do?

    Hey, remember that time that I said I was going to do some kind of physical activity every day in August? Apparently I didn’t. I started off strong, with some running and walking and hiking and a few token pushups on days that I spent driving long distances. And then at some point I seem […]

  • What I Should Be When I Grow Up

    One of the perks we get from my program at school is access to a career-assessment program that asks a bunch of questions about your interests, motivations, and skills and then tells you want kind of career suits you. Now, personally, I love the job that I have now, but I was curious to see […]

  • And Back To Work I Go

    And so ends my glorious, glorious vacation. Before my vacation started, I knew that I was in need of this time off, but I don’t think I realized just how much I needed it. I’d been going pretty much non-stop since the beginning of January – with work and school and teaching and top secret […]
