Yesterday was such a strange day. It somehow just got away from me and disappeared. I did get up and took Martini to daycare, which meant I had the rest of the day to do what I wanted - I coul...


Talked with my two cousins last night after they talked to my dad. They were together and calling people who need to know. My uncle’s cancers have spread. Yes, multiple cancers. He’s now in hosp...

Day 323 - Waiting...

The year is really flying now. Next week is THANKSGIVING?! What the what?? Today was busy - full of meetings starting at 8:30 this morning, and ending…well, I am going to bed soon. The good n...

Day 322 - Becoming Findable

Oof. Sitting here for quite some time (I started this entry this morning, and it’s already the end of the day), trying to work on my next moves. I got this really great email this morning from...

Day 321- IN My Nerves

Monday again. Here we go, new week. I’m working it this week. Already starting out strong by sending an assertive email directly to a senior HR manager at a large corporation for a job I saw onl...

Day 320 - Rando Sundo *UPDATE*

I’ve been up for a while. Made my coffee. Took the dog out to poop. Clicked around online. Played around with AI, trying to find a program that will make videos for free. Clicked around Prosebox...


It’s Saturday. I slept in a little because I had the craziest nightmare last night that kept me up for a good long while in the middle of the night. The dream ended in a car crash (into a truck)...


Friday morning. Today will mark two full weeks of unemployment. Meh. Boring job stuff ahead… Talks are quickly progressing on the job contract front (from my last couple of entries). Apparentl...

Day 317 - Some Things...

…rattling around in my brain: Meeting yesterday went well. It ended up being an hour, and we even ran over a little bit, so that was a good thing. I essentially went over TLIC with the two ...

Day 316 - A Pre-Proposal

Good morning. Thank you for all of the kind words on my vulnerable-ish post yesterday. I feel better today. I even feel more momentum! This morning, I’m all about business. I have requested a...

Day 315 - 11/11

The 1111 portal. An auspicious day. I’ve clicked around ye olde internet to see what you’re supposed to do on this day to manifest, and there are many, many rituals that I’ve found can be perfor...


Well, it’s here. Mercury is truly in retrograde. Yesterday’s volunteer event was a bust. Unbeknowst to me, until I got close, there was a big running race downtown. That means that roads were ...

Day 313 - Events!

Headed out in a bit to do my volunteer work this morning. I wasn’t great with my closet clean-out because I didn’t get super aggressive, but I do have a few things to donate during the thrift po...


Another Saturday. I want to get this entry in and use this spectacularly beautiful day to get out and walk the city trail with Martini. I think I’m going to do my “usual” walk with her - the one...

Day 311 - Hit the Spot

I’m running a little late this morning because I had a late-ish (for me) evening last night. I attended a dorky singles event with this woman I met while on a Meetup hike. My new friend is super...

Day 310 - Clearing Things Out

Walked outside about 20 minutes ago to see the full moon in its glory. It’s very light outside for pre-dawn. I do hope this moon clears everything out and helps me release the negative energy I ...


Yesterday was tough, so I gave myself grace about the job search and just put a halt to it for the day. Turns out, I needed a LOT of grace for myself! I decided to leave early for my appointm...


Yeah, I did tease you yesterday when I said I was spilling the “T”. And after all that, my keyboard finally went kaput, so I guess the joke is actually on me today. I think the keyboard is dead....

Day 307 - Spilling the T

November 3. Monday. First official day of unemployment. Let’s get on with the day. My robot vacuum did not get the time change memo. I have her set for 6:30am to start her clean-up, but this ...


Good morning from Time Change Day! I’m not doing NoJoMo prompts, but since I’ve done NoJoMo for the past TEN YEARS in a row here in Prosebox, and I suppose at least five or six or seven (?) bac...

Day 305 - It Gets Weirder

November 1. My last day of employment is today. Yes, it’s a Saturday, and yes, it’s the Day of the Dead. It’s wild. The reason they made my last day today is so I can keep my health insurance ...


Can’t really write about anything yet because technically I’m still employed until the end of the day tomorrow (actually, they are supposed to move my last day to November 1st so that I can keep...

Day 301 - And Just Like That

I knew it was coming, but I was taken off guard yesterday. My job at the Cool Cat Company will be ending on FRIDAY. Happy Halloween. I have nothing lined up, and still medical procedures and c...


Dude. We’re three hundred days into 2025?! How’d that even happen? Another milestone: yesterday was my 58th birthday! FIFTY EIGHT?! How’d that even happen? I can’t tell you how thrilled I am to...


I’ll cut right to the chase: it is confirmed that I am now FOUR YEARS MOTHERFUCKING CANCER FREE!! Not only that, but the good eating, no alcohol, and consistent exercise are proving to be worki...
