The Quickest
I got a new battery for my personal laptop (MacBook Pro) since the battery life was about dead, and this new battery won’t even charge! I will never write an entry or put anything personal into m...
What in the Cutie Freaking Pie is Happening Here?
Well, hm. Every day at The Cutie Pie Company brings more scratching of the head. I’m six weeks in. There has been so much chaos and drama that I’m really going to have to start protecting myself...
The Cutie Pie Company
A little bit about my new job at The Cutie Pie Company. It’s stressful. My boss is the founder and CEO. She’s young and super smart and continually manic. Her brain is moving 10,000 miles a minu...
Near and Far
So, I think I’m starting to maybe kind of figure out this new city. On the one hand, since it’s only a three hour drive to my old city, it’s almost like I’m still so close. Yet, the two cities ar...
Home By 8:30
I’m back from the wedding with Crazy Bob. Believe it or not, I was home by 8:30! I mean, we did leave at 12:30, but it is nice to be home at a decent hour. It took over an hour to get to the wed...
Day 16
I’ve literally been on the job for 16 days now. It’s starting to sink in a bit. Maybe? It’s a lot, but at least nobody has quit since Monday. I have to give Quitter’s 30-day check-in today. Shoul...
Love It or Loathe It
Y’all. I’m too tired to write it all out, but the new job at The Cutie Pie company is anything but cute right now. It’s not like this is a big surprise, and I know I am brand new, but here are a ...
Blasts from Pasts Recent and Long Ago
Happy Sunday Night! Gotta make this brief because I’m exhausted and tomorrow starts my first full work week at The Cutie Pie Company - it’s going to be intense and I set my alarm even earlier be...
Intensity Levels
Level 0: Lovely came to visit my new home (The Place) on Sunday. She was in town with her husband to visit her in-laws and I thought she and her husband were going to come visit on their way back...
Day 1 Overview
Whew! Day 1 at The Cutie Pie Company was fast and furious, as I knew it would be. I literally had back to back to back to back meetings - no time to really even go to the bathroom. And poor Marti...
Time to WORK!
I’m heading out for my first day of work in a bit and it occurs to me that I haven’t written anything about it! I’ve had so many other big things happening with the apartment flood and the move a...
Visitors
It’s starting to get real around here. It’s Monday morning - beginning of my first work week. But I won’t start until Wednesday, as that is the first day of the pay period. I’m not mad about it ...
Those Dumb Jeans
Good Thursday morning. I can’t believe we are already nine days into February and my new job will start in less than a week. This has been a looonngg, drawn out Funemployment, hasn’t it? I was ho...
Nothing Is Easy
The electricity at The Place finally came back on after 72 hours of blackout. Last I wrote, our dear PBer, [Ylime] was letting me stay at her place at night during the outage as my place was col...
Icicles and Angels
Where to even start? I’m still unpacking - that’s kind of a given. But now I’m trying to unpack without any power on in The Place. My apartment was in the path of the Big Winter Storm of 2023. Se...
Settling In at The Place!
I’m still pretty buried in boxes, but now some of them are unpacked and there’s just stuff everywhere! Luckily, the weather here is supposed to be disastrous until at least Thursday, so I’m hunke...
Balls Deep in Boxes
So the move happened, and it actually went quite well! I’d asked the moving company to please send the same team who’d packed me up and took my things to storage. This team was lead by a very th...
Heading Out
After a pretty full few days of visiting friends and family and checking things off my lists, I’m going to be heading out today. I have been staying at the one and only [Athena]’s place and I’m a...
Before I Go
Greetings from…[Athena]’s place! I’m still in the in-between state of moving, but [Athena] offered me her place (she’s not here - she’s in Alabama with her man at her beach condo) until the mover...
The In-Between
Greetings from my hotel room back in [my old city]. I’m trying to tie up loose ends here, do my 3-month doctor visits and see as many people as I can before I leave. It’s a weird feeling. The ma...
Found a Place
Ok, y’all. I found a place. It’s not the Treehouse, but nothing’s going to be that same space - and it shouldn’t be, you know? It’s a long story, but I spent pretty much ALL week searching for so...
Lookies
I’m on a mission this week to find the next place to live. Staying in Airbnbs. I’ve been staying in a garage apartment the last couple of days in this super cool neighborhood. The weather’s been...
Homeless
Time for a super quick update from the road! Where did I last leave off? I think I’m gonna have to bullet this bitch. Remember my apartment flooded on Christmas Eve. I saw that as a clear sign...
January 1, 2023
Popping on just to get an entry in on the first of January. Maybe I can come back to this habit like I do every November? I have SO MUCH to tell you, but once again, I am exhausted just because I...
Cliffhangers
I’m sorry - I feel like I’m leaving everyone hanging with these bits and pieces of info on my current situation here and there, but I have to tell you that this is absolutely freaking STRESSFUL d...
