It’s time to kick Monday’s ass… Like a lot of folks, when the pandemic hit, my fitness routine flew right out the damn window. I’d been so diligent before, too – more than two years of going to the gym 4-5 times a week. At one point, I was benching 90 lbs. (impressive for my…

It’s time to kick Monday’s ass… What are you saving for someday? For years I had this idea that someday, I’d enjoy a long, indulgent morning routine.

It’s time to kick Monday’s ass… You know the swag you get when you attend an event? I’ve never really thought much about it, beyond sorting it into “can use” and “can’t use” piles. The space in my car is limited, which means stuff I’m not likely to use gets ruthlessly culled and donated. The…

It’s time to kick Monday’s ass… Have you ever tried to make a smoothie? I made my first one on Friday and lemme tell ya… it was an interesting experience. I’d just gotten one of those fancy schmancy personal blenders where the blending cup doubles as a to-go cup with a lid. I couldn’t wait…
