Mass in the Ass

I’m sorry I haven’t been noting. I’m on here more than I have been in a while, but I’m struggling with noting on your entries and sometimes even answering your notes here. It’s not for lack of tr...

The Weirds.

Hi. I don’t have a ton to say after talking, talking, talking with so many people after I threw it all out there on the socials. I will tell you the following: I talked with my PCP again this...

The Socials

This morning I shared my diagnosis on socials (IG and FB). It took me over 24 hours to actually pull the trigger on the post. I debated and debated on whether or not it was time to go public wi...

Morning Thoughts

It’s so weird. I am/was feeling so healthy and getting the best sleep of my life before the scope. I was under the VERY watchful eye of my primary care physician who is also a personal friend. B...

Today

I ate a 1/2 sandwich after not being able to eat since Tuesday. I’ve NEVER not eaten - even when I was in the ER with a life-threatening injury. I’ve never gone that long without eating. I can’...

C is For...

Colonoscopy Prep. Oh lord, it started off fine, but then after I was finished with my prep I realized that I clearly hadn’t gotten everything out, so to speak, so I ran to the CVS last night bef...

Groundhog Day, Again.

And now it’s February. Groundhog Day, even. How fitting. Still waiting for a covid shot. Still working myself into a frenzy about this colonoscopy on Thursday. It’s not that I’m worried about t...

No More F*cks

Well, look. I’ve been very, very, very careful and haven’t gotten the virus yet, so I think I’m going to keep doing what I’ve been doing and stop freaking out about what others are doing. Have I...

Lots

Much to update. It’s Tuesday morning and I walked in the office around the same time Boss did (he was not here yesterday). I’m assuming he’s taken a real Covid test at this point, but I’m still...

Stuff That Void

Today is my engineer’s birthday (he’s the one who had to leave early yesterday because his wife tested positive for Covid). I sent him a text to check on him and to tell him Happy Birthday. Even ...


Now 2 UPDATEs at the end in bold. Good morning. Waking up to a new day, I guess…one that feels a bit like the other days due to Covid. The vaccine situation is such a clusterfuck here and all ...

A Toast

The last time I watched an inauguration live was for Barack Obama’s first term. I remember that day clearly as I was working for a giant corporation and they had a HUUUGGEE giant screen set up in...

Nothing's Ever Easy

Holy shit. I just had a Zoom meeting with Boss who told me that his son (who drove Boss to the airport last night so he could travel again to California) tested positive for Covid today and I wa...

Gut Check

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...
