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...

NJM5: Prompted

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 ...

NJM3: So Freaking Much

Hi. Eeek! Super buried at work right now - doesn’t that always seem to be the issue? I’m nervous though, because, remember all of the entries I wrote about supply chain and making sure you sto...

These Days

What do I do now that I’ve been declared cancer free? It’s a really good question. One that I’m working with a therapist on to help me tease some things out. I’m going to do NoJoMo again this ye...

#TMIFiles: The Typo

I didn’t want to leave you hanging since you sent me suuuuuch great juju notes on my last entry. Had an INSANE day yesterday - my mind was spinning with all kinds of thoughts ranging from, “I won...

Big Updates on Various

I’m still working on my End of Chemo story. It appears I got sidetracked by life. I suppose I should update on various: Cancer: because this is the biggest thing in my life going on right now. ...


I need to come back and finish my End of Chemo story. I hate that it got sidetracked by my sucky experience at work, but it was all going to come to a head soon anyway. I have a lot to consider...


If you read my entry about my annual review at work yesterday, I have a clarification to make. Not that it makes any difference how shitty it was, but our company is working with a new automate...


Late-breaking news: I just had my annual review as a surprise (!!!) meeting today. It got scheduled this afternoon and the location was my (new-ish) boss’s boss’s office. Cue the panic attack...


What a week it’s been…and it’s only Wednesday. Actually, I wanted to write an entry about my last week of chemo, number twelve, which was last week - a week ago, exactly. It truly was an incred...
