On my way to work the other day, I heard them talk on the radio about a sleep study that has come out of West Virginia University. According to the study, new parents can expect a disruption to the amount of sleep they get each night, compared to how much sleep they would have gotten … Continue reading Sleep Study

A Week Before 39
My birthday is a week away. I’ll be 39 years old. What’s there to say about turning 39? I remember when I was about to turn 29. I claimed that it was the last birthday I would have. Not because I thought I would die at 29, but because I was pretty sure I didn’t … Continue reading A Week Before 39
So… I’m Doing the Whole30 Again…
Alternatively, this post could have been titled “Of All the Decisions I’ve Ever Made in My Life More Than Once, I Question This the Most” or “Why I Clearly Still Hate Myself and Everything I Stand For.” Some of you may remember that, two years ago, I decided to join in with some friends who … Continue reading So… I’m Doing the Whole30 Again…
Breakfast Every Day
I feel like I’ve mentioned before that I don’t like to listen to the radio. Mostly, I think it’s because I’m unhappy with today’s style of music that seems to be popular with the kids. If it’s not the stuff I grew up on in the 80s and 90s, I’m likely to turn it off. … Continue reading Breakfast Every Day
What Immune System?
I had a lot of plans this weekend. I was planning to move (again). I was planning to donate blood. I was planning to write blog posts. Those plans have changed. Because I'm sick (again). Here's the thing... I'm back to working in a school. If you've been keeping up with my blog posts for … Continue reading What Immune System?
Reviewing the Bucket List
I can't believe it, but it's been more than three years since I first decided to post a bucket list to the blog. And, in that time, I've barely looked at the thing to see if I'm making any actual progress. No, I'm not dying. At least, I don't think I am. You never know. … Continue reading Reviewing the Bucket List
Unmotivated
Some of you may have noticed that I took something of a leave of absence from blogging this week. I was still trying to keep up with others' blogs and comment where I felt I had something to say, but I certainly wasn't posting any original content on my own page. Some of you may … Continue reading Unmotivated
100 Random Facts About Me 3.0
I first did a 100 Random Facts post not long after I began this blog. But that was four years ago. I did an update in 2017, but things continue to change. Because that's life. The only thing you can be sure of in life is that things will change. Also, ever since Paul hosted … Continue reading 100 Random Facts About Me 3.0
My Favorite Posts from 2018
This is another one that's pretty much become an annual tradition here at The Confusing Middle. Yesterday I looked back at which posts from the year were the most viewed according to the WordPress analytics. Today, I'm pulling out the posts that I personally enjoyed writing the most. I will say that there are some on … Continue reading My Favorite Posts from 2018
2018 in Review
I thought for sure I had done one of these year in review posts at the end of 2017. In fact, I thought I'd done something similar every year on this blog. But that's not the case. No, I only did a year in review post at the end of 2016. When I looked back … Continue reading 2018 in Review
