Today it’s raining outside and I’m not feeling very strong. Not sure why. Don’t think I’m getting sick, but the hike I took on Sunday is still with me. I went to a gentle yoga class to try to loosen up all my stiff muscles yesterday and I’m still sore. Can you have a hiking hangover?

Last evening I went to an alumni gathering. There was lots of interesting conversation about how to engage alums in the Bay Area. For me it was a good time to meet others who are interested in creating a better work environment for women in tech.

I also disclosed my cancer diagnosis to a couple people. It felt like I was back at work and had to be careful sharing whatever was happening to me. Something still needs to change inside me to move beyond this feeling of secrecy. I’m posting this for anyone to read, so what’s the big deal?

As soon as the rain lets up I can go for my morning walk.
