The Secret to Faffing

Noodles with Strangers
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...
Some Updates

The Passive-Aggressive Prayer
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...
Lack of Sleep

Non-Event
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...
Recap of the Last Few Days
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...
"MA'AM! ARE YOU SINGLE?!"
Hey everyone. I had Interview #FIVE with the Structure Company today. Ughhh. I am getting so weary of interviewing! This time it was with the president of the company, and he was pretty cool, but...
Containing My Dreams

All the Things In My Brain

How to Download All My Entries?*
Hey everyone. Happy Monday! I wanted to write here earlier this morning, but the site was timing out and I couldn’t get on to even log in. I was starting to think that this was the end of PB so ...
Nothing to See Here
Happy Saturday. Pretty quiet day so far. I took Martini out for an early morning walk on the downtown trail (alas, did not meet anyone, ha!). We walked for about 4 miles and then we went to the...

No Thanks, Chuckles.*
Oh PB friends, you’re so right when it comes to Chuckles. He’s a sweet guy and fun to joke with, but he took it too far and continued to push after sending me that text a few days ago (see previo...
Updates on Various - July
My angel, Sam, is gone. He hung in there for days after his hospice said he wouldn’t survive the first night. I was part of a text group that simply exploded with amazing things to say about Sa...
