Good morning! Gonna see if I can add quick journal entries to my morning routine. I’m still figuring my morning routine out - always a work in progress - but I would love to add this to my 75 Har...
Been a While Since a Biz Trip
Good morning, all! I feel like it’s a Monday of new beginnings for some reason. I’m back from my first business trip of this new-ish job and it was fantastic to be traveling again! This time it w...
Pulling Bullets
Hi! Let’s see. New week. New me? Hah. Here are some things, in no real particular order, but some of it is sort of chronological: Did I tell you I noticed a concerning spot/lesion on my eyelid la...
Lots Going On. Some Teasers...
I think I’ve decided to try and do one volunteer event per month. This month, I volunteered at a huge, HUGE multi-day convention that happens in my city every year. So many amazing, successful,...

Leap Day 2024
I just wanted to write an entry so I can look back on this four years from now and have an On This Day entry! Does anyone else love going back and reading those entries that you wrote years ago? ...
Catch UP!
Catching up with life…it’s been a while. So much has happened. I went to the fun lesiban dance party! It was so interesting. The Birthday Girl (my crush-ish) had invited several people who live ...
Post V-Day
I feel like I don’t have much to say lately. Or maybe it’s that when I feel like writing, it’s always close to bedtime and I feel like I”m winding down and my eyes are closing. It’s February. It...
Backup Computer?
I haven’t felt like working all afternoon. Spent the whole morning and most of the afternoon in meetings - from 8:30am (talking to China) until 2:00 (meeting with the Exec Team) - I sat here at ...

Early February Check-Ins
75 Hard Check-in: End of week 6 of the 75 Hard program. Essentially, it’s two workouts a day (one of them has to be outdoors, and that’s when I walk the dog), a progress photo daily, read 10 page...
RAD: John Candy
Happy Wednesday! Sitting in a coffee shop tryna get shit done before my big process meeting with my boss and….he’s got Covid! So he canceled and I now have a sec to write about last night’s date...
Friday Stuff
Been sitting at my computer for what seems like forever. Tonight I discovered that Bumble can be viewed in an actual browser on the web - not just through the app on a mobile phone. What a game-...
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 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...
