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...

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...

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...

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...

---

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 ...

---

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...

---

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...

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...

---

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 ...

---

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...

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...

---

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 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 ...

---

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 ...

---

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....

---

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...

---

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...

---

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...

---

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...

---

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...

---

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. ...

---

DAT = Day After Thanksgiving (the business term retailers use now instead of Black Friday). Did you know this? My boss doesn’t know anything about DAT. He doesn’t know anything about anything re...

---

Greetings from my brother’s bedroom (he’s not in here with me, he’s just letting me stay in this room for two nights over the Thanksgiving holiday). He normally doesn’t sleep in the same bedroom ...

---

Hi. Just me over here trying to pack for my trip to visit the fam and my old city to see friends. I’m about to have to put on my bubble suit so that I can bear to hang out and stay with my bro an...
