Seized

Well, I had a pretty bad Thanksgiving. I was supposed to hang out with AC on Wednesday night but he bailed on me pretty last minute, which is extremely disrespectful and annoying. It set me in a ...

Freedom

I’m having a week of freedom off work! My company switched to an ‘unlimited’ vacation model, and I want to make sure I don’t become one of those people who doesn’t take days off because I don’t h...

On Boys and Men

My dating life continues to be a struggle. To recap the last couple years, post-stalker: First, I met The Dentist. We had instant chemistry and things were good for a few months before I finally ...

Over a year?!

It’s obscene that it’s been over a year since I’ve written here. I check in to read daily, but I never kept putting off writing. Well, I guess the problem is mostly that I read on my phone and re...

Sorry I've been away

I’m sorry I’ve been away. It’s due to a few things. First, I don’t feel particularly comfortable writing entries on my work computers (paranoid). Second, my personal (non-work) laptop’s charger i...

Back to baking

I was able to do some baking, which was nice. I was craving pizza the other day, but didn’t want to pay for good pizza and didn’t want to eat meat, so I decided to make my own. I made the dough, ...

Seattle snow

Seattle is having our once or twice yearly snowstorm. It’s been teasing us for weeks, but it finally happened! It did ruin some plans I had - I was going to meet a friend at the gym and then have...

Laser-enhanced vision

Me and my laser-enhanced eyes are doing well! The procedure was slightly more uncomfortable than expected, but luckily it was very very short. I think each eye wasn’t more than 2 min at most. But...

Hi

I have had a wild few months since I last wrote. I took legal action against my most recent ex boyfriend. I don’t remember how much I have written about the situation, but here’s a quick rundown....

Thirty

The whole ‘2020 sucks’ thing isn’t just a meme anymore. It’s objective reality. I had a few tough bits of life this week. I think everyone on the west coast was really struggling with the smoke. ...

All around updates

I’m not sure if my tutoring business idea is going to pan out. I researched the competition in the area and it seems like they charge clients around $60/hr, and pay tutors $25-40/hr. It started t...

More body updates

More medical things to note: - The pathology on my cyst came back with lots of unsurprising stuff; no cancer, chronically inflamed. One genuinely weird thing.. the cyst was made out of LUNG tissu...

Greedy

Thank you so much for all the kind words on my last entry! Healing has been going well so far, and I’m just chugging along. My doctor sent me home with medical supplies and his cell number for th...

Health drama

I’m coming off of THE WORST health drama (of my life..) It’s a long-ass story, but to recap: last year I had my tonsils out, and when I was almost done recovering from that, a pre-existing cyst t...

How life has changed

I think I’d write here a lot more if I felt comfortable opening this site on my work computer. I know that the corporate overlords are either watching, or have the ability to watch. So - here I a...

Feeling like a victim

I think today I’m emerging from a bit of a depressive episode. I’m actually having a four day weekend, because my org gave us off on Friday as a ‘sorry that COVID sucks’ day off, and of course to...

Exes and kittens

There was mooOoooRe ex-bf drama. He sent me a long message about how he talked to his friends (like I suggested, to get some outside perspective), and came to some realizations around how it’s un...

:/

I’m having throat infection issues again. Honestly it’s been happening off and on for a few months, but the last couple weeks it’s been more clearly a problem. I’m soo weird about medical / heath...

5:17pm

It’s a really gorgeous day here - 70 and sunny, a nice breeze, clear skies, and clean air. I just crawled back into bed, scooting my cat aside. I took a long and hot shower, and changed into swea...

Hi

Phew, it’s been awhile, hasn’t it? I still read here religiously but haven’t felt inspired to write. I think with therapy and venting to friends I feel the need to write less urgently. Today has ...

Results

Electronic correspondence with my doctor (paraphrased) Me: I was wondering if you had a chance to look at my MRI results. Him: I did. The cyst is still there but it’s smaller than before. Hoping...

Working from home

Here I am, working from home. I’d probably write here a lot more if I felt comfortable writing during the day at work. Whether or not they are paying attention, I know they have the ability to mo...

Catching up

Current situation: Sitting on my couch after having baked a bunch of cookies. I did Halloween cutouts, which I will decorate sometime this week. I don’t care for Halloween but I do like buying ne...

some tough times

Obligatory wow it’s been so long since I’ve written. I spent the month of July ramping back up in my life. I worked hard at the gym, I joined a cycling group, I had friends visit me from out of t...
