Jan Twenty-Two.
Sitting here watching the new Bachelor (not as much fun as the Golden Bachelor) and waiting for some comments on a sample prototype that the Head Cat should have in his possession by now. Ugh. Wo...
Are You High?
I saw a job posted on LinkedIn several days ago at a company I was very interested in about a year and a half ago. In fact, I’d previously been contacted by a headhunter about a role that was my ...
Mystery, Sadly, Solved.
A couple of entries ago, I wrote about walking out of my apartment to see several police cars and emergency vehicles, and an EMS vehicle a building over from mine. I noted that there wasn’t a lot...
Jan Twelve.
I wish I could tell you what the commotion was last night. Was it a crime scene? Was it a (heaven forbid) suicide? Was it a MURDERRRR?! I don’t know. And I don’t know any neighbors on that side t...
Jan Eleven.*
Gah. I started writing an entry about some of the things I’m starting to like about working from home and then I was like, nahhhh. So many people have been doing this for YEARS since the pandemic...
Jan Nine.
Tomorrow is my dad’s 85th birthday! He had a rough day with my mom today. After she was diagnosed with a massive pulmonary embolism in July, she had a small procedure called an IVC (Interior Ven...

Jan Seven.
Skipped a few days there. Not much new, save for a couple of things. Tomorrow I have to start digging into the “new” job in a much more meaningful way. I’ve been really enjoying not being crazed...
Jan Three.
Feeling better today - at least from a worrying perspective. Mom and Dad seem to have had a decent day. Mom’s MRI results came in, and there are no weird abnormalities. The stroke in her eye did ...
Jan Two.
Back to work. Back to the grind that just doesn’t really feel like a grind for some reason, and yet, I have soooooo much to do! I am walking around full of worry, and every day there is more to w...
Jan One.
Took the 3-hour drive today to Mom and Dad’s. I brought lunch for the whole family. There was a tenseness at the table, but I finally broached the subject again. It’s baby steps for now. I just h...
End of 2023
Yesterday I started to do a little montage of 2023 on Instagram with photos from my year, but when I started pulling photos, I was like, ughhh, what a blah year. Like, it was a weird year. So I d...
Mom + Dad
Back from my quick Christmas run to see my family and some friends. I’ll expound more on this later, but my most pressing issue right now is the health and well-being of my mom and dad. I can’t ...
On Xmas Eve and Starting Anew
So much to write, but I need to prepare for my three-hour drive to the fam’s for Christmas. It’s been such a melancholy year. I am SO looking forward to 2024 and what that actually means. I swea...
10 Things About WFH*
Boring work stuff ahead. You’ve been warned. Working from home is new to me and it’s taking me a while to get used to it, but here’s what I’ve found is happening for me so far: I started this r...
10 Big-ish Things
The meeting with the Cool Cat Company’s Head Cat went about as I expected. He’s a diva, and that’s okay…he gets to be a diva because he owns the company and we do what he says. Even when he tel...
I'm Ready...Now Where Are You?
I spent a good portion of my weekend and today prepping for my new company’s (Cool Cat Company) founder to be here IN my apartment this week for development meetings. He flew in today and was to ...
Disoriented
Last night I went to this experiential light show thing with my friend C. I was already in a funky mood and this thing threw me for a loop - in an interesting way. I was not feeling particularly ...
This Season
It’s Christmastime. The weather’s getting cooler (at least at night it is), and I have no one to snuggle. I’m frustrated as hell and need to change that. So what if I’m a little chunky right now....
NJM23 - Entry #30
Here it is. The last NoJoMo entry of 2023. I am on FaceTime with [Athena] and we are watching the Golden Bachelor finale. Martini is by my side. It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for! And n...
NJM23 - Entry #29
Today’s prompt: Wild Wednesday - what’s the wildest thing you’ve done in your life? Hmmmm. This has me thinking maybe of the Top 10 Wildest Experiences of my Life. I won’t give you the gory detai...
NJM23 - Entry #28
What?! November’s almost over? Can’t be. I’m antsy. I haven’t been out of my neighborhood since I got back from my Thanksgiving weekend on Sunday. I’ve stayed inside the apartment for two straig...
NJM23 - Entry #27
I stopped following the prompts many days ago, but I remembered this prompt (that I didn’t follow at the time) and I think I’ll use it tonight because I followed my perfect morning routine this m...
NJM23 - Entry #26
Finally home. Traffic was a bitch - just like we knew it would be on the busiest travel day of the year in the United States. It took five hours to make the drive home. It normally takes three. I...
NJM23 - Entry #25
At Best Bud’s place. I’m staying in her guest bedroom, which is lovely. She’s made her son’s bedroom into a guest bedroom as well now that he’s at university, but I opted for the guest bedroom. ...
