I have gotten to a point in my life where there are two key factors that have a major impact on my general well-being: sleep and exercise. When I don't get enough of either, I get cranky, stressed, have trouble focusing, and generally get less accomplished. For me, "enough" sleep seems to be at least 7 hours per night and "enough" exercise means not going any more than 3 days without a decent workout. Sleep and exercise can cure almost anything for me – I think more clearly and stressful things fall into perspective – and as an added benefit, exercise helps me sleep better and sleep improves my workouts (even making it somewhat likely that I can work out before work!). All in all, sleep and exercise keep me calm and sane in many ways. I highly recommend it.

Winter Wonderland

No, I haven’t been buried in the snow, just not motivated to write much. Had a lovely lazy weekend hunkered down during the blizzard, with a few trips outside to walk Mox. Saturday night I joined a friend at a French bistro down the block for some wine and French onion soup and the place was packed, as were the few other local spots that managed to open that night. The city is truly magical when it’s covered in snow and cars are off the streets. Fingers crossed for another snow day this winter (but NOT when I’m supposed to travel!).
