Chew on This: What Should I Eat on the 4th?
Being on an elimination diet for the past 9 months I find it hard to go to parties. The only reason I’ve been on the diet so long is because I had about a 2-3 month period where I couldn’t even eat regular food, let alone test out new foods to see if they affected …
Meditation – Get Some Headspace
A year and a half ago, a friend posted something on facebook about an app she had found called Headspace. She said she had just finished the Take 10 program and was going to sign up to take the rest of the series the app offered. “I pay for a gym membership and this would be like a …
Medication: Ativan

Happy Father’s Day to the King
To my Father, Dad, Daddy, Supa Playa, King Garmo, I can always count on you to be my rock, to be my strength, to help me find a solution. You’re there to hug me, catch my tears, allow me time to grieve, but always pushing me forward. You’ve driven me hours to doctors appointments looking for …
Mind.Body.Music. – Silver Lining
Obviously the name of my blog is It’s just a bad day NOT a bad life (shocking, I know right?). I definitely was among the individuals who would proclaim they had the worst life when something bad happened, but then as soon as something good happened I’d change my tune. I think this yo-yo’ing mentality …
“Are You Back To Work Yet?” – My Job While On Long Term Disability
Are you still on disability? Are you back to work yet? – I get this question so many times during a week it makes my head spin. No. I’m not back to my IT consulting job. But I do have a job. An extremely important job. Probably the most important job I could ever have. …
