I’m following the prompt today. Five things I’m grateful for: The obvious. I’m alive. I know this is repetitive in my journal, but I just can’t state it enough! I have survived yet another li...

NJM22: The Best I Can Do

Whelp. It was a Monday, but for some reason I felt better about it workwise. Didn’t let anything get to me. I think people are calmer right now due to it being Thanksgiving Week and all, and th...

NJM21: Decorated Out

I’m too wiped out to write a proper entry, sorry. It was a day of running around trying to figure out how to finish decorating this place. You’d never know I spent alllll weekend figuring out how...

NJM19: I'm Risky and I Know It

NJM17: For My Therapist

I’m still at the office. It’s 4:45 and I’m wiped. Figured I’d write my entry now because I have my virtual therapy tonight. I was texting with [Athena] a little while ago and she asked me how ...

NJM13: Chrysanthemums?

Today was a good Saturday. Good dog walk, putzing around the apartment, a little organizing and thinking about Christmas shopping, a trip to Lowe’s to get a planter and some potting soil and tha...


Friday night. I am in bed. It’s been a fucking week. Today I had to give a presentation to the licensing people. My boss and boss’s boss were in the meeting and we all had to give introductions ...

NJM11: 11/11

11/11 is Singles Day in China. 1111. See all of those singles just standing there? For a while it was the day that the Chinese and I think some other countries would break the internet by purch...

Following the prompts again today. Wine Wednesday - Do you like wine? What’s your favorite kind - or, if you don’t, what do you like to drink (if you drink at all)? Do I like WINE?! What kind of...

Well, here’s an interesting twist of events. I found out this morning that Maria’s friend Giorigio is coming to town from Italy and he’s bringing a friend. They will be here over the holidays a...


It feels like days since I’ve written an entry because I wrote so early yesterday and now I’m writing late-ish today. I don’t feel like writing right now, but I will because I said I would. I go...

NJM6: Saturday Stuff

Good morning! Gotta get an entry out early because I have a good long day ahead of me. First, still working on getting my apartment together. Yes, it’s still a work in progress after moving in f...

I don’t even know where the prompts come from, but I’ve seen this one in others’ entries so I thought I’d give it a whirl! List five (5) interesting facts about yourself. I have never colored m...


And here I sit, again in the office, taking a quick break from numbers (you know how much I love numbers) to get my November 4th entry out. Over the last couple of days I’ve been looking back at ...

These Days
