NJM25/26: Before Bed

Finishing up at the office and have a few minutes to tap out an entry. So. Now that BOTH of the short-ish vacations I’d planned for this year are over, I’m feeling it - the let down. You know t...


Real quick because I’m back in the office. What I didn’t get to write because I was having SO MUCH FUN the last three days! Girls Trip! We did tons of day-drinking, which was a blast! We did l...

NJM22: Impossible

Trying to get a decent entry in tonight is going to be impossible. We’re here. We’re crazy. It’s loud. It’s like we’re back in college. There’s alcohol (and I can’t handle it like I used to)...

NJM21: While I'm Here

I’m on the luxury bus headed to my Girls Trip in a town 4 hours from [my city]. This trip is the result of my injury back in April. While I was in the hospital, all the girls called a rallying ...


I’m home from my trip and have so many funny thoughts about the Argentinian/Italian guy I met yesterday. He sent me some voice texts last night that I’m dying to paste here so you can hear his v...

NJM19: Even Crazier

Well. Today/tonight was even crazier than yesterday because I somehow met these Italian men during a break in my day today and one of them came to take me to drinks/dinner and it’s a long story,...

NJM18: Wow.

I’m back in North Carolina attending another trade show for the Home Decor market. I’m ashamed to admit that I didn’t know one of the Queer Eye guys when I met him at a party tonight. Lord. I j...

NJM17: Preparations

I literally spent the whole day prepping for my two trips this week. I’ve packed one suitcase that should take me through Sunday even though I’ll fly home Wednesday night and leave again on Thurs...

NJM16: RAD - Joe Llama

Note: this is NOT the guy who canceled on me earlier in the week Name: Joe Llama Introduction Platform: Bumble - we’d been texting for about a week and a half on the app Age: 50 Relationship ...


Went to see the neuro-interventionist today. Hooray. I finally got in, and boy am I glad I got in to see him. Crazy thing is, after ALL of that bullshit of me saying that I don’t need another ...

NJM14: #datingmyself

Date with myself was lovely if not uneventful. I took myself to this hip Japanese restaurant and sat at the bar for some dinner and wine. The bar was FULL when I arrived but there was one spot o...


At the office this morning catching up on work emails and trying to clean out my gmail. I had something like 100K messages in there, most of them promotions of some kind. I’m trying to do a mas...

NJM12: Tiny Brain Explosions

Super busy day at work today and yet I feel like I barely accomplished anything. My whole morning was spent trying to track down people to attend this conference call with BIG CORPORATION for wh...

NJM11: Of Dreams and Vortices

I had the most amazing dream last night: I was pregnant and about to give birth, so I was at the hospital and they were prepping me for a natural birth when I suddenly realized that I couldn’t h...


Note: this really is NJM10. I don’t know why it didn’t publish last night when I hit the “publish” button??? I went to the off-price luxury fashion store looking for cowboy boots as the ones I ...

NJM9: I Got Nothing

I had a lovely day but I really don’t have anything to say today. So I’m just going to not say anything. Sorry. I still love you, GS

NJM8: As the Petechiae Fades

Happy Friday! I’m in a much better mood today than I have been the last few days even though I really do think that the Mercury Retrograde has something to do with why everyone’s so weird lately...

NJM7: Mercury Retrograde

Some noters suggested that all of yesterday’s annoyances are most likely the result of Mercury being in Retrograde, and I have to agree! It’s just too weird that so many SNAFUs are happening tha...


I started to write details about this new-ish person at work and how it seems like she’s doing a whole bunch of shit just to piss me off (the details of which are not important) and she finally...

NJM5: The Update

Quickly: Doc Jeff (my PCP) called me first thing this morning to tell me that all my blood tests came in NORMAL (yay!) so the question still remained - WTF has been going wrong with my body sinc...


November 05, 2019

NJM4: Status

Ok, so the status is WAIT. PCP called to tell me to keep it status quo (as opposed to quid pro quo) - as in, don’t take my blood thinning meds (Plavix & Aspirin) until further notice. He sai...

NJM3: Nervous

I almost forgot to write an entry today. Time changed and it’s only 7:20pm and I’m exhausted so I’m already in bed. But I’m nervous because I think I’m having a reaction to my new blood thinners....


Ugh! I’ve already blown it by missing Day 1, but I’m going to try to get an entry in a day and won’t beat myself up for it if I don’t. It’s just fun when I’m able to take a quick break every da...

Moved.

This morning I got up early to watch the sun rise over the Grand Canyon in 20-degree temps (it even snowed last night!). It moved me to tears. I cried because clearly there is an entity in this ...

It's My Birthday, Bitches!

Greetings from a Starbucks somewhere in Las Vegas! I’m kind of mad because these dumb Starbucks in the casinos will take your money but they won’t let you redeem your rewards and any Starbucks f...
