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...
More Christmas Surprises!
Ugh. The flood saga continues (see previous entry), but it also feels like old news. Yes, the Treehouse is a shambles - there are power fans and dehumidifiers throughout my whole place, and holes...
Christmas Eve Surprises!
Regardless of my previous entry - the one where I accidentally gave away a $300 hat and felt like a turd - I felt incredibly festive going to work on Christmas Eve. I was working the 9:00am - 3:3...
Tits The Season
The title of this entry is something I saw on a t-shirt of one of the customers walking through the retail store where I’m working the holiday season. It was a perfect shirt to be wearing the oth...
Lovely's Birthmas in the Woods
Lovely’s birthday falls very close to Christmas, so she has a party every year and calls it her Birthmas. It’s always a big shindig at her house and lots and lots of people come and there is tons...
Updates on Various
Mom and Dad’s Covid: They are better. So much so that they went to my niece’s Christmas music show at her school last night. My niece barely had any symptoms and her school told her she could com...
Updates on the 'Vid
Dad got it. Two days later, Mom tested positive. Today my niece tested positive, making my dad bawl his big ol’ heart out because she’ll be missing her school concert and other Christmas-y kid ...
The Gift that Keeps on Giving
My sweet dad got the covid. It makes me feel so bad because we have spent YEARS trying to protect the patriarch of my family from the fucking ‘vid and the first time he and mom go to do something...
This One Broke Me
Maybe getting on here to type out an entry is a habit now after doing it all of November? I’m down again. Got the blues something awful. I was keeping something to myself until I’d manifested it ...
NJM #30 - Puppy Parade
The best thing about work today: the dogs. Wednesdays are pet-friendly days at the Instagrammable set-up display two doors down in the mall. Yes, the display that has a $50 entry fee. And OH! Th...
NJM #29 - Almost there.
I can’t believe this month is almost over! I always love writing an entry a day, but I sometimes feel at a loss for words. Today I had the day off and it was an unseasonably warm day. I looovved ...
NJM #28 - Fluffing
It was a good day. I didn’t have to work until 1:30 this afternoon, so I slept in a little and got a very, very good walk in the sunshine with Martini this morning. Then to the grocery store wher...
NJM #27 - My Big Mouth
Worked from 11-5:30 today. It was fine-ish. But it’s already getting old. Is it Christmas yet? I’m still making some rookie mistakes and Dick Manager is still barking in my ear piece, but I’m kin...
