Day 351 - Tupelo

I’m back from the trip! It was a quickie, and back in the day would be no biggie whatsoever, but because I’m so out of practice (with the exception of two other biz trips I’ve taken in 2025), it...


Thank you for the kind notes about my Uncle H. yesterday. He was a good man and had a very good, humble, loving family. I talked to Dad yesterday after the service and he was still sad that he w...

Day 347 - Uncle H.

Sitting at my desk this morning and watching the memorial of my uncle on YouTube. What a world we live in now. I’m so glad we (my dad and I) were able to get a link to view so my dad didn’t feel...


Slow morning today. I let myself sleep in and just got back in from a nice walk with Martini. I’m also multitasking while I write this entry by listening to a webinar on AI and sustainability....


The last days of 2025 are flying by now. One would think I should be getting a ton of things done since I’m not employed, but make no mistake…I’m working! Or at least trying to. A little follo...


Well, I finally have a conclusion regarding the job I’ve been writing about for the past three or four entries. I read your notes about how ironic it would be if I did get a call-back from the...

Day 338 - Move ON, Ginger!

Okay, okay. I’ve almost completely let that interview go. It’s out in the universe and there’s nothing I can do now. But one last thing I want to mention that I was kind of scared to mention bef...

Day 336.5 - ChatGPT's Response

(note: see previous entry for context below) I was so mortified about how that Teams interview ended. I’ve just been pacing around the apartment wondering what to do, so I plugged in my last pa...


Morning! I have 5 minutes to write, and then I gotta get my workout in. Today I’m on a little bit of a time crunch. Big interview at 9:30 - video interview with the hiring manager. This will be ...

Day 334 - Gut-Wrenching

It’s the last day of November. Officially another NoJoMo in the books. I always love the discipline that doing an entry a day gives me. And I always seem to keep the mojo (pun intended) going at...

Day 333 - Crafternoon Delight

Almost noon. Have not accomplished anything today. Yet. I am home from Thanksgiving with the fam. Thank you for all of your notes and suggestions on my last entry. I have decided to go back t...

Day 332 - Aftermath

Morning. I am headed out this morning to the big flea market to see if I can find any treasures. It’s Black Friday. I don’t know if there are big deals at the big flea, but I guess I’ll find out...


Good morning. It’s Thanksgiving and I’m sitting in my kitchen at my little desk getting ready to chug through the morning. I’ll write this entry and then do a longer workout (kinda skipped yeste...


Yesterday, my horoscope said that I would be in a good place to take care of financial matters. Here’s what I did: I got signed up for marketplace insurance through December. I’m not excite...


Had a super long talk on the phone with Kitty Cat yesterday. She’s been busy being a caretaker, so not much time to worry about the legal side of things regarding The Cool Cat Company. Said she...

Day 328 - On Predators

Thanks for everyone’s notes on yesterday’s entry. Yes! I guess LinkedIn takes similar safety measures as most other social media platforms, and that’s a good thing. But it got me thinking abou...


Is this a thing? Does LinkedIn actually read your private DMs?? Last night, I was clicking around LinkedIn. Ever since starting to go hot and heavy with my job search, LinkedIn has been my soci...


Yesterday was such a strange day. It somehow just got away from me and disappeared. I did get up and took Martini to daycare, which meant I had the rest of the day to do what I wanted - I coul...


Talked with my two cousins last night after they talked to my dad. They were together and calling people who need to know. My uncle’s cancers have spread. Yes, multiple cancers. He’s now in hosp...

Day 323 - Waiting...

The year is really flying now. Next week is THANKSGIVING?! What the what?? Today was busy - full of meetings starting at 8:30 this morning, and ending…well, I am going to bed soon. The good n...

Day 322 - Becoming Findable

Oof. Sitting here for quite some time (I started this entry this morning, and it’s already the end of the day), trying to work on my next moves. I got this really great email this morning from...

Day 321- IN My Nerves

Monday again. Here we go, new week. I’m working it this week. Already starting out strong by sending an assertive email directly to a senior HR manager at a large corporation for a job I saw onl...

Day 320 - Rando Sundo *UPDATE*

I’ve been up for a while. Made my coffee. Took the dog out to poop. Clicked around online. Played around with AI, trying to find a program that will make videos for free. Clicked around Prosebox...


It’s Saturday. I slept in a little because I had the craziest nightmare last night that kept me up for a good long while in the middle of the night. The dream ended in a car crash (into a truck)...


Friday morning. Today will mark two full weeks of unemployment. Meh. Boring job stuff ahead… Talks are quickly progressing on the job contract front (from my last couple of entries). Apparentl...
