Day 311 - Hit the Spot

I’m running a little late this morning because I had a late-ish (for me) evening last night. I attended a dorky singles event with this woman I met while on a Meetup hike. My new friend is super...

Day 310 - Clearing Things Out

Walked outside about 20 minutes ago to see the full moon in its glory. It’s very light outside for pre-dawn. I do hope this moon clears everything out and helps me release the negative energy I ...


Yesterday was tough, so I gave myself grace about the job search and just put a halt to it for the day. Turns out, I needed a LOT of grace for myself! I decided to leave early for my appointm...


Yeah, I did tease you yesterday when I said I was spilling the “T”. And after all that, my keyboard finally went kaput, so I guess the joke is actually on me today. I think the keyboard is dead....

Day 307 - Spilling the T

November 3. Monday. First official day of unemployment. Let’s get on with the day. My robot vacuum did not get the time change memo. I have her set for 6:30am to start her clean-up, but this ...


Good morning from Time Change Day! I’m not doing NoJoMo prompts, but since I’ve done NoJoMo for the past TEN YEARS in a row here in Prosebox, and I suppose at least five or six or seven (?) bac...

Day 305 - It Gets Weirder

November 1. My last day of employment is today. Yes, it’s a Saturday, and yes, it’s the Day of the Dead. It’s wild. The reason they made my last day today is so I can keep my health insurance ...


Can’t really write about anything yet because technically I’m still employed until the end of the day tomorrow (actually, they are supposed to move my last day to November 1st so that I can keep...

Day 301 - And Just Like That

I knew it was coming, but I was taken off guard yesterday. My job at the Cool Cat Company will be ending on FRIDAY. Happy Halloween. I have nothing lined up, and still medical procedures and c...


Dude. We’re three hundred days into 2025?! How’d that even happen? Another milestone: yesterday was my 58th birthday! FIFTY EIGHT?! How’d that even happen? I can’t tell you how thrilled I am to...


I’ll cut right to the chase: it is confirmed that I am now FOUR YEARS MOTHERFUCKING CANCER FREE!! Not only that, but the good eating, no alcohol, and consistent exercise are proving to be worki...


6am on Wednesday. Sally and Pig Pen just left the Airbnb to travel back home. They could not get out of here fast enough. When I last left you, I was heading for my scans. They went off witho...


Yesterday my friends and I (see previous entry for the description and details of my friends) went to see my mom for her birthday (and celebrate mine too, sort of…meh). First of all, I rode in ...

Day 292 - So Much Peopling

Good morning from this beautiful loft space in yet another Airbnb this month. Chilly morning, and I’m up earlier than the others, so an entry it is! I think this might be the coolest Airbnb I’v...


Back from my long weekend trip last week, and this morning I’m prepping for another trip! This time, it will be a week-long trip - some fun, some medical shit. Last week’s trip to see the girls...

Day 281 - Carry-On

Leaving on a little long weekend trip tomorrow and I’ve decided that I want to try to carry-on my luggage. I haven’t been in a carry-on situation in years. I have become such a rare traveler tha...


Good Sunday morning. Sitting at my little desk waiting for my nails to dry so I can get moving this morning. I am ashamed to admit that I didn’t do any meaningful work at work from Tuesday th...

Day 273 - Quick Whirlwind!

Well, Best Bud and her sister were not here very long at all! Last entry, I ended with a little bit of a frantic sign-off because I realized that BB and her sis would be at my place earlier than...

Day 269 - Friday Morning

Good morning! Lots to do today, so per usual, I’m going to procrastinate a bit by writing an entry instead of busting right into my morning workout. It’s a little cooler outside this morning, so...


Work continues to be super weird. I put in for a raise - just because shit’s falling apart here and because I’ve been here two years without so much as a cost-of-living increase or a pat on ...

Day 254 - Two Blind Mice

Good morning. The days roll by. I must spend a good chunk of today on the job search because yesterday they fired one of the 3 Blind Mice (what we co-workers call ourselves), and now we are 2. S...

Day 249 - Road Trip

Heading out to Mom and Dad’s in a little bit. 3+ hours there and 3+ hours back. I’m waiting for storms and rains to blow through, but I think I’m going to have to drive through some thunderstorm...

Day 243 - Ten Things

Today is the laaaassst day of August. Feels like it flew right by. Like, wasn’t it just last week when I went to Vegas? What happened? It was a weird month. I’m not sad it’s over. I love th...


I’ve started 75 Hard again. The link goes to a Reddit page with discussions on the whole damn program, so if you’re interested, have a click! I’m on Day 4. I started on Monday. And quite frankl...

Day 232 - Werk Schmerk.

The work days roll by… I know, I know! I need to write about Head Cat and Lesbo Kitty, but I’m scared to right now because so many of you know me IRL (or via Instagram) and I post about him on ...
