Hello. It’s that time of year again! How many years have we been NoJoMo-ing now? So, so many. Too many to count. But I do love November because it forces me to write. So, for the month of Novembe...

I sent an email to the hiring manager (my former boss) of my last missed opportunity (see my last few entries) to see if he would provide me with any insight as to why I wasn’t chosen for the ro...

---

For context of what I’m about to say, please see previous entry. I don’t have a lot of time, but this has been on my heart and just bothering the HELL out of me, so I’m going to cut to the bottom...

---

I just have to get this out. I’ve been working on the downlow on a job opportunity at a company where I used to work. I didn’t write about it for fear of jinxing it. It was just too perfect of a ...

---

I gave in and did this survey to pass some time because I’m antsy about some things regarding work. I think my answers might be too detailed, but this was fun to do! Do you put ketchup on hot dog...

---

Have you ever thought about your favorite memory of your whole lifetime? Yesterday, my dad and I took my mom to brunch for her 80th birthday (and incidentally, my 55th) at the fanciest restaurant...

---

Wednesday was a panic inducing day! Actually, the last couple of days had me starting to panic about my scan results and the fact that I didn’t get a notice that my results were waiting for me in...

---

I have a few obsessions right now. None of them are good. Let me tell you about them. Cancer. Well, duh. I just went through a whole year of discovering cancer in my lower belly which had sprea...

---

I’ve been asked by another PBer to write a review of my experience with the Prolon Fasting Mimicking Diet, so here you go! If you’re not into hearing the nitty gritty of this plan, I suggest you ...

---

The aftermath of my previous entry: C. finally got out of the meeting that lasted until nearly 8pm and arrived at The Treehouse at nearly 8:30. Poor thing was tired and hungry so we brought her b...

---

…about Corporate America (even though I really need a job at this point), is the unexpected dragging out of meetings now that travel restrictions are being lifted at companies and meetings are be...

---

Guys, prepping for a garage sale is NOT. FUN. AT. ALL. I’m really glad I went did that yesterday because there’s no way my parents would have been able to pull all that together. The only thing t...

---

We are already well into October. The air is cooler and the days are much, much shorter. I don’t really know where 2022 went, but I do feel like I’m finally getting my strength and mental facult...

---

I was missing a few of my former work colleagues, and it was supposed to be a beautiful evening, so I invited a couple of the ol’ workmates to a happy hour. The plan was, I’d come close to the of...

---

Here are some bullets since my mind has been jumbled a bit lately: Holy schnit, did I get tooooo caffeinated yesterday or what? Now that I’m over the Covid bivalent booster, I went to brunch ye...

---

Crawling out of my skin a bit. On Wednesday I got the new bivalent Covid vaccine. All of my previous vaccines had been Pfizer and had zero side effects, but this one was Moderna and I wondered if...

---

Ugh. So lazy today. I woke around 8am and did not get out of bed until after 10am. This is not normal for me, and I don’t want to get in a groove like this, but sometimes it’s just so decadent to...

---

I last left off talking about how I was heading to a meetup.com event at one of my favorite noodle houses. This was going to be a first for me with the meetup group and I knew exactly ZERO people...

---

Regarding Tuesday’s entry, Mom got worse and went to her doctor today. She has been diagnosed with bronchitis and NOT Covid, so I’m feeling better, though she has COPD, so any kind of situation...

---

I’ve been visiting my parents very regularly since the pandemic began. At first, we’d sit outside on the front porch, at least six feet apart every time, and chat for a while. Then I’d go do thei...

---

As we approach the Labor Day Weekend, here I sit in the Treehouse all up in my feels this morning. I woke up late, snoozing my alarm over and over because I don’t really have anything to do toda...

---

Had another phone interview today. It was scheduled and confirmed by both the company and myself. The interviewer simply never showed up. This is becoming a common theme, unfortunately. It’s tr...

---

I was walking Martini the other afternoon and was at the end of the walk and back to the apartment building. I was about to walk through the parking garage to get to the stairwell closest to my a...

---

Guess what I did today? I decided to go to a networking event! I’d seen this event posted somewhere online - I can’t remember how I found it (probably LinkedIn) - and had signed up for it a coup...

---

Last I left you, I was floating on a high of having completed 10+ interviews and a strong feeling that I’d hear back from two companies before the weekend. I was also kind of ego-stroked by a you...
