my journey, destination unknown
Thrive, Project 46, and the monthly projects in my Happiness Project … so many projects! In reality, they are all facets of the same project, guiding me to finish or give up old projects and move forward on the ones that are most important to me. February’s main theme was Appearance. I finally got my…

My goals for this year are very few. There’s too much uncertainty, and I am lacking free time to do the things I had originally planned to do this year. Chloe drew the design based on the diamorpha at Arabia. And I had it tattooed onto my wrist: Cross that off my list!

As happens when chaos turns back towards routine at our house, I find the time to exercise more and meal plan. We’re tried prescribed meal plans, a true CSA, having camille, plan, shop and cook, a themed meal plan, a customizable farm box, a boxed meal service, and another meal planning service. Sigh. While some…
A couple of weeks ago, I turned 46. Another year has gone by. Not only do I still feel as though I didn’t move ahead enough on my goals, my birthday really brought me down. Low. However, I have moved ahead… What I have managed to accomplish in the past two years makes me proud….
After months of turmoil, things in our house (as opposed to the larger world) seem to be settling down into a bit of a routine. I find myself with time on my hands. Since freeing up some time is a huge piece of my multi-year Happiness Project, I shouldn’t be surprised, but I am. Happily…

Back on December 21st, we closed on my Arabia lot. What a mess. The land was disturbed beyond imagination. First step, even if we do nothing else, was to have it graded. What a production.
As mentioned in solving a DOcplex model using a local solver, there are restrictions on the Community Edition of IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio which make it difficult to solve a problem of any real consequence. If you would like to test out some larger optimization problems, you can register for a thirty day free…
