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...

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...

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...

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...
