Pragmacat: THIS IS A POST TITLE
http://pragmacat.blogspot.com/2013/02/this-is-post-title.html
THIS IS A POST TITLE. More pictures of food BECAUSE I CAN. Besides the lemonade, I ended up making cranberry orange scones and chicken cacciatore. I wish I liked the act of baking and cooking more - if I could just research recipes and have the food magically appear, that would be GREAT. Tonight's food project is crockpot beef stew. I'm hoping to find more tasty vegetarian recipes, but most of the ones I've tried thus far just aren't that satisfying. :-( Oh well. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Pragmacat: Shameless Plug

I'm only going to do this here once (I promise). :). I know money is tight for a lot of us, but if you happen to have the time and inclination, below is a link with information on my dear cousin's quest to fund her education. Every penny helps, since donations are being matched up to $1,000. For more information, check out her fundraising page here:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Bay Area, California, United States.

Pragmacat: 02.14
http://pragmacat.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
So, I figured I'd try a few goal check-ins throughout the year to see how I'm keeping up on things. Thus far I have:. Gone from level 5 to level 7 in Spanish on Duolingo. Great! Worked out for about 5 hours total. Lower than I'd like, but not bad. I finished Valley of Amazement. By Amy Tan; The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love. By bell hooks; and Is Everyone Else Hanging Out Without Me. Mostly of my dog. Seriously. You've been warned. Maybe secured a new client? I wrote seven posts on QwertyCafe.

Pragmacat: Keep on Keeping On
http://pragmacat.blogspot.com/2013/05/keep-on-keeping-on.html
Keep on Keeping On. Well, I was a bit worried I'd have to cut short all this healthy good stuff I've been doing recently. My short achilles tendons were really starting to hurt and my feet screamed at me after every workout. Pointed out that I hadn't replaced my shoes in awhile. Whoops. Behold the New Balance Trail Shoe. I'm slowly but surely getting better at valuing my health over other things. :). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Bay Area, California, United States.

Pragmacat: Metrics: March 2014
http://pragmacat.blogspot.com/2014/04/metrics-march-2014.html
Sad that I only seems to be updating this space for these reports, but oh well! Better than nothing, right? Last month was a busy one, and I am still trying to catch up. Let's see how it looked! Up to level 8 in Duolingo in Spanish. Worked out for about 9 hours. Better than last month, though still lower than I would like. I only managed another 10% or so of Lisa See's On Gold Mountain. Even more new clients. Hooray! Another six posts written for QwertyCafe. Blog is looking good. View my complete profile.

Pragmacat: Activity Tracking
http://pragmacat.blogspot.com/2013/02/activity-tracking.html
Looks like writing down what I've been doing for workouts is making me get competitive with myself. By that I mean that I just checked out the past two weeks' activity levels:. Jan 25-31 I worked out for 6 hours and 17 minutes. Wowza. Feb 1-7 I worked out for 3 hours and 34 minutes. Now that I am looking at the numbers from the drop in activity from week to week, I feel like doing more. I'm enjoying all of this motivation. Gotta keep it up! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Pragmacat: When Life Gives You Lemons

When Life Gives You Lemons. Unfortunately, my primary client had to pull way. Back on hours. Here's hoping I can fill up my time with some new design work, rather than go back to the 9-5 grind. *raises glass*. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Bay Area, California, United States.

http://pragmacat.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
I've carried this goal over from last year, because I absolutely reaped the benefits. Sleep when my body asks for sleep. Eat when it asks for food. Block out the requests of others (within reason) in favor of taking care of my own emotional needs. Take the GRE, and formally apply to graduate school. More "for fun," less "work-adjacent." As long as I finish the last book I purchase, I'm trying to go unlimited on the budget here. Last year was wonderful in that I managed to write a LOT for qwertycafe.c...

Pragmacat: 2013 Year in Review
http://pragmacat.blogspot.com/2013/12/2013-year-in-review.html
2013 Year in Review. This year was a mix of good and bad. Lost an aunt to cancer in August, made some health gains, had some career struggles, and spent time with dear friends I hadn't seen in ages. Ultimately 2013 was pretty good to me, especially considering how rough previous years had been. I'm also still so relieved and grateful to be living the Bay Area. Here's how things measured up to the goals I'd set for myself:. 1 Improve my health. 2 Take steps toward performing again. 7 Focus. Or not. I went...
