Day 231 - Last Words

Last night I made my almost-nightly phone call with mom and dad. I wanted to talk to dad mostly alone as he’s been messaging me about how mom’s dementia seems to be progressing. I’m not surprise...

Day 230 - Viva...or Not

Hi. Hey. Hello. Whelp. The Las Vegas trip with Head Cat and Lesbo Kitty has come and gone and it was sadly uneventful. Head Cat was honestly the least of my worries. Here’s how it went in bul...


G’morning. It’s Friday morning and I’m so not into work today. I just dropped Martini off at doggy daycare and I’m going to spend the rest of the day doing the following: Take care of 2 pro...


Work: Oh god, it’s getting worse. I like to check in with my CEO (Kitty Cat) weekly. She’s the literal only sane person at the company. She’s honestly the only reason I’m still with the company ...


Ugh. Saying goodbye to these childhood icons this week: Ozzy Osbourne, Theo Huxtable, and now Hulk Hogan! Not that they were anything huge to me during the 80s. Its just that they were household...


This date is a perfect example of Mercury in Retrograde in action. Wires crossed, confusing communication, challenging directions, etc. Read on… Name: Mercury Mike Introduction Platform: Bum...

RAD: Panama Jack

I got a new iphone months ago. One day I was thinking about my dating days of yore and I thought I’d take a peek back into Bumble and it seems my profile had disappeared. Maybe because my phone ...


Every time I sit down to write an entry, I get sidetracked. I think I’m becoming ADHD by working from home. It’s just too easy to flit from task to task, place to place, work to personal stuff… ...

Day 192 - Placeholder

I have stuff to write about, but I am trying to get some work done. This entry will be a placeholder, but I don’t want to forget… Still need to write about the things we, The Girls, did in ...

Day 177- Future-Facing

Good sticky summer morning! I’ve been sleeping so well recently that I was really bummed to have a bad night last night. I woke in the middle of the night feeling very itchy. I got up and went...


What’s going on recently. Friends: I am outlining an entry. Working title: What We Did in Sedona - all about the stuff I did with my girlfriends at the beginning of June. I am still basking in...


You kept a huge secret from us on our last trip to Mexico in 2023. This time, you wanted to talk about it. I’m so sorry your husband asked for a divorce. I’m even sorrier that he was having ...


Back from The Great College Girls Trip of 2025 and have so many things to write about that I don’t even know where to start. So I thought I’d spend a little more time organizing my thoughts. Y...


Morning. Like, really early morning. I got up before 3am this morning to get on this flight to Phoenix. Yes, it’s finally that time - Girls Trip Time! Just call us The Sedona Six. We are all fl...

Day 150 - Hermiting

Good morning. A couple of things about my entry yesterday. (1) When I said I didn’t feel like working anymore and that I was going to make today (Friday) an easy day, I meant it. I have been s...


I’ve been absent from writing because of this dumb project that’s taken up 98% of my headspace for the last week and a half. It even consumed my whole Memorial Day. Why do I let myself get this ...


The writing is on the wall that the company I work for is imploding. Maybe not completely, but things are clearly not going well - especially hearing things from Kitty Cat. That poor woman has t...


Okay. After a week of being out of it, it’s time to get back on the horse and get moving. I had a successful morning routine (workout, coffee, dressed and ready, etc.), already had a video cal...


For some reason, the last week just took a toll on me. Here’s the recap: Sunday: was Mother’s Day. Dropped Martini off at doggy daycare 15 minutes later than I wanted (7:15am instead of 7 on th...

Day 132 - First Day!

Super busy day! I need to recap my weekend, including Mother’s Day, but I’m heading out in about 5 minutes to my first day of pickleball league, and I just got nervous! I don’t really remember ...

Day 128 - Prepping

Things I am preparing for this morning: My Workout: I made the mistake of logging into work while I was sipping my early morning coffee yesterday. The day turned chaotic, so I was only able to ...


Good Monday Morning! Protein coffee and supplements to start the day. Next up, journal writing, a meditation/manifestation session, workout, shower, werk. Head Cat is OOO all week, so that me...


Time Flies So Fast: It’s already MAY!! How did that happen? I feel like just a few days ago I was thinking about how I’d have a new job before I left for the Indonesia trip with Head Cat…and now...


Hello from a coffee spot in the shopping district close to my home. The weather is beautiful and it’s going to be a gorgeous Saturday evening - I imagine there will be lots of dates happening in...


Yesterday, Kitty Cat asked me to attend a meeting with a consulting company that essentially does what I do. I know she was curious about the tariff situation and maybe if they could help us wit...
