Last night I had an issue with my new car. Its a 2015 Golf Sportwagen TDI with only 16k miles on it and suddenly, out of nowhere, it started squealing like a banshee when the wheels were in motion. I love my little Cherry Bomb and when I had no warning lights on my console... Continue Reading →
I got back from my orthopedic doctor yesterday and finally was able to breath a sigh of relief! He took me out of my splint and said I should be fine to start strengthening my hand & wrist and most importantly, I can start my weapons training again! It has been several months since I...

"I'm just going to... Continue Reading →

Last night, as I pulled out all the medications and supplements my husband Greg & I take, I decided to sort them. On the right side were all my bottles. On the left side were all of Greg's and in the middle were the ones we both take. I am currently on 3 prescribed medications,... Continue Reading →
This past week has been one of the hardest weeks I have had to endure in quite a while. Not only did I have a rough week breathing due to horrible air conditions over the past weekend, I also had to put my puppy down this past Monday. Macho has been with Greg & I... Continue Reading →
Something I am exceptionally proud of right now is that I have started a 'streak' and as of today it's the longest running streak I have done so far. I set a goal of running a '5k A Day' in August and today I have run 10 days in a row. Some days its all... Continue Reading →
