Motivation: It's Obviously Not My Thing. Also I Have Discovered AirBnB

I've had zero desire to move since we got back from NH. I had been pretty good about the whole diet/exercise thing for a few weeks. Then I mostly fell off the diet wagon, I'm still making better food choices just allowing myself more. But I was really sticking to the exercise. Walking at lunch and then walking the dogs after work followed by either a mile on the treadmill or water aerobics class. I was feeling mostly good, aside from the searing foot/ankle pain. I need to get back in the saddle but I'm just not feeling it. Mostly I'm just feeling tired lately. I wake up tired, I have some coffee and feel better then by the time I get home from work I'm tired again. I've still walked the dogs every day but only because they love their walk not because I have any motivation to move. It's 9:30pm right now and I still haven't made my lunch for tomorrow. I need to get up and do that. I put my step tracker/watch on it's charger when I got home from work, I'm hoping it gives me some motivation tomorrow. Wish me luck :-)

I've been hearing about AirBnB for years but I just started looking at it this week. Lousy timing on my part because I only have one vacation day left for the year. I've been looking at condo's in either Ogunquit or Lincoln for a quick adults only weekend sometime in September or October. But there doesn't seem to be anything available in the actual towns either month. The site offers me surrounding areas (some into Maine) but nothing where I really want to be. I love the idea of Airbnb and I would much rather pay a person over a hotel chain for a place to say for the weekend but if I can't get close to where we'd want to stay it's not worth it. 

Anyone have any AirBnB tips for me? I've been reading reviews for all properties that catch my eye but they all seem strangely positive. Has anyone had any bad AirBnB experiences?

Blogging as Therapy

It hit me recently that I blog like I would talk to my therapist. Some days I wish I still had one. She got tired of me and booted me out of therapy. Ok, not really,after 10 or so sessions she gently told me that I was ok. I had established boundaries and worked out some coping skills and didn't need a therapist anymore. I'm welcome back anytime.  I liked therapy, when I started I really thought I was losing my mind (long story, very long) having a 3rd party review all the evidence (mostly texts) and listen to me talk for an hour or so at a time then tell me I was NOT crazy was really helpful. I credit her with keeping P & I together. This blog is helping too. When I'm frustrated with life in general I come here and type away. So thank you all for reading. And for the couple comments I've gotten over the past month or so I really appreciate it. 😄 That said, I'm thinking of going back to my therapist for a few sessions. I need to figure out why I'm somehow

Hello Neglected Blog!

I'm sorry I've been gone for so long. Things have been weird since the election and I haven't felt like posting. I think I was in shock. I honestly didn't think this country was dumb enough to actually fall for the orange idiot, I was wrong. Very wrong. And it felt like I was punched in the gut. The only good thing to come of it is that women are finally banding together again. I wish I could have been at the march in Washington but work, money, etc. I was definitely there in spirit. Anyway, politics aside things have been going well in general. I still love P&H, I still need to lose weight, I still hate winter. I also still hate my job and haven't found another. What HAVE done is signed up for a postpartum doula class!!  I can't wait! I've already finished reading the required books, I have a list of questions for the instructors (just in case they don't answer them during class.) Does this mean I'll have a new career? Who knows but this is a

Hello, I Am a Podcast Addict

It hit me today that I listen to a lot of podcasts. Like,a lot of podcasts. All day really. I love pods. I learn lots, I'm entertained, sometimes I'm freaked out. I thought I'd share my top 10 and why I love them.  1. The Birth Hour Podcast -  So I think I've mentioned a few times before that I am going to start Doula classes next month (and if I haven't done that here, surprise!) This pod is all about letting women tell their birth and postpartum stories, the good, the fantastic, the terrible. I love everything about this pod and consider it part of my doula training. 2. Star Talk with Neil Degrasse Tyson - Do I really need to say more than that? this pod is fun and educational and Dr. Tyson interviews a surprising array of people. I learn something every time I listen.  3. Welcome to Nightvale - This was the first pod I ever listed to. I have no idea how to describe this one. Just listen if you like weird and slightly creepy storytelling.  4. Dearest Doula
