    Just found your blog. Great post about the new guard pass techniques, thank you. Try a neti pot for your sinus infection, works better than anything else for me and isn't a drug.

    I've yet to understand the mysteries of handbags, especially those enormous ones that were super-popular a while ago. I'd be constantly worried about losing it: I put everything in my trousers when it's warm (hence why I go for workmen's trousers, due to all those lovely zip pockets) or my coat when it isn't.

    Although a large bag at least makes sense in that you can fit lots in it. The clutch bag is even more mysterious to me. I can understand you need something to put your keys etc in when you're wearing a evening gown and don't have any pockets, but no strap to at least keep your hands free and help carry it about? Confusing. ;)

    Maybe if I bought myself a manbag it would all make sense? Think I'll stick with my overpocketed trousers for now. :)

For Ladies in the Half Century

 Gentlemen- this post will be lady centric, as I'll be discussing menopause. Ladies. Just. Say. No. Say no to feeling tired.  Say no to crappy sleep. Say no to mood swings.  Say no to "unexplained" and/or unwanted weight gain. Or, not. If you are entering your second half century and are experiencing all this, and "have accepted" it as part of the journey, then more power to you. This post may not apply to you.  But if you are like me, and upon turning 51, your body went askew, for about 2 years, consider these things...when you were a teenager, there was most likely an adult in the room to explain the process. Maybe it was your mother, a health class teacher, a school nurse, a trusted adult. Chances are you were given equipment, clothing, and products to navigate the onset of a period and herky-jerky growth spurts.  Adulthood life changes? The medical advice seems to stop at "well that's the way it is..." The changes in hormones are every bit as d...

Hard, honest words about Pull-Ups. And this week's work.

Let's talk about pull-ups. I have written about them before, several years ago when I was preparing for SWAT tryouts at work. I fell short in the Obstacle Course, but you know where I succeeded that day? Pull-ups.  You know where I started when I began training for the tryout?  From. ZERO. I couldn't even do one pull-up. I'd heard and believed all the malarkey over the years. "Women have trouble with pull-ups...I can't do pull-ups..." The thing is, if you take stock in those words, they become a false reality.  That false reality then becomes a wall, but a silly wall, a weak wall. A wall made of Hollywood movie glass.  I decided I was going to do pull-ups. The wall came down, as they do in Hollywood movies; it crumbled into a million pieces that were not harmless, they required a light broom and a light sweep into a trash can.  Then came the lies. "Do lat pull-downs...do band work....do tricep work...do that weird pull-up assist machine at the gym...do (i...

Accountability and....what if the joy is not present?

 I wrote about the joy of activity last week.  Rest assured I'm no Pollyanna and there are moments I just don't feeeeeeeel like working ooooouuuuuttt. I have a few mental tricks up my sleeve readied for self-deployment when I start down the path of excuses, it's too hot, it's too cold (come January), I'm tired, just because, my hair hurts, my vibe is off.....throw in your own.  We all have the excuses, but how does one work past these walls? You may think they are 10 feet high and made of concrete, but actually they are constructed of very poor quality paper mache' made with cheap paper. From the dollar store. And they are only 2 feet high.    My tactics for success include memory and acknowledgement.  I remember all too well the hell-hole, ugly, non-training days of covid. I remember the day, while in my office, I learned the whole situation was going to continue for, not just two more weeks, but for a few more months, which quickly turned into the foresee...
