Over Here

Oh hi. Don’t mind me. I’m just over here waiting for a Covid vaccine, a haircut and the United States of America to settle down. What’s that you say? I’m going to be waiting for a while? Ughhh...


Ugh, Friday. It’s the end of a long, hard workweek, and having to have a CYA meeting with Boss and two of the people who support me (remember, Boss won’t let me have a staff any more) was the ...

Turned to Complete Shit

Welp. I suppose shit’s been the theme of the day, huh? The United States is in a sad, pathetic, disastrous state of affairs. If this doesn’t take him down, I don’t know what will. What an awful...

A Gallon of Water (TMI)

TMI - the below entry references bodily functions - you’ve been warned! . . . . . . . . Day 3 of drinking a gallon of water a day = Day 3 of spectacular toilet results! I’m assuming the two are r...

A Duke He is Not

Well, I haven’t been holding my breath about SS figuring out a date for us, and that’s a good thing because it’s now mid/late-Tuesday and I have heard crickets from him. That’s right. He’s gone d...

Fresh, New and Bonus-y!

There really is nothing like a fresh, clean slate now is there? I realize that not much has changed with regard to how hard Covid is hitting now and how sucky my job is and how I have no love lif...

Vindication (Not Vacation)

Hi. So, I’m back at the office and have had a morning of suuuuper stressful back and forth with a factory - and it’s like one of those make or break kind of situations where the universe is screa...

Merry Quarantine Christmas

Good morning from an extra day at my parents place. I didn’t really intend on spending another night here, but I imbibed in a couple of extra glasses of wine during my video chat with a faraway f...

A Coupla Things

Seems like forever since I’ve written. Can you believe it’s Christmas week?! We are almost out of this disaster of a year! I went to work yesterday and today because I feel obligated. I’ll come ...

Juice-less.

I wrote an entry yesterday and forgot to post it. It wasn’t very juicy anyway. I’m so, so happy to see the vaccines being administered now. I know it will be a while before we get back to “norma...


The Rona: Best Bud definitely has Covid. Her test came back positive. She tells me that Covid is horrible and it attacks the weakest issues that your body has - she had herniated discs several ...

Color of the Year

I said I didn’t want to write more about Covid because of Covid Fatigue, but what can I do? Life revolves around it right now. Best Bud got sick yesterday. She went to get the test today. Turns o...

Hey, hi.

Oh hello. It’s been a whole week since I’ve written. Guess when I take a vacation I take a vacation from everything. I mean, what did I even do during my vacay? Well, I didn’t work, but I worri...


What a month. What did I do this month? Usually I have some amazing stories of faraway travel, like the story of the Super HOT Icelandic Pilot (SHIP) I met during a business trip in Shanghai or...


Wow. I was surprised by the ending of The Undoing tonight! I’m not going to spoil it, but it didn’t go in ANY of the directions I thought it might. And I find myself having really strong feeling...

NJM 2020, Entry 28 - So Close!

So close to the end of this year’s NoJoMo. This year has been really easy to hit every day since I haven’t gone anywhere or really seen anyone besides my fam. Though I will say that I’ve gotten t...


Whelp. I went out early this morning in my parents’ little podunk town, and thankfully, there were not a whole lot of people in store. In fact, I hardly saw anyone, which was a huge relief - tho...


I’m at my parents’ place tonight. I got here earlier in the day and we have had a nice time so far. Our meals have been lovely and we’ve had some good laughs with my silly niece. My bro has been...


Whelp. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving for those of us living in these United (ahem) States of America. The year is all downhill from here. Work was super easy today. Hardly anyone there. Hardly any...

NJM 2020, Entry 24 - The List

Well, hello there. Can you even believe we are now in the “Holiday Stage” of 2020? I know, we all can’t wait for this year to be over, but my mind is quite boggled - what have I done all year? I...


Is it wrong that I’m fascinated with Nicole Kidman’s wardrobe in The Undoing? I am especially in love with the long, green coat she wears on the way to visit her husband (Hugh Grant) in jail. A...


Today was my niece’s birthday party (tomorrow is her actual birthday). It was a wonderful party! My parents and SIL had made it so cute for her. Dad created a menu and served a FOUR course lunch!...
