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...

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...

Ready to Go!

Welp. I hope I’ve packed all the right stuff for all of the crazy climates we’re supposed to have in the coming few days. Tomorrow morning, bright and early, it’s off to Vegas, the Grand Canyon ...

Packing

Well. I’ve been packing and doing laundry trying to figure out what to wear in pretty much three different climates this weekend and next week! The weather is going to be all over the place from...

Airport Bar

Greetings from the lounge bar at Raleigh Durham Airport! I’m here for a couple of hours while the same storms that hit on Sunday in [my city] blow through here and then I’ll take off for home. ...

Walk Walk Walk

Hi Y’all! I’m in North Carolina at the furniture show and I’m tucked in my hotel room bed about to fall asleep immediately! I want to write but I am exhausted. It’s been a cool day and I hung wi...


October 21, 2019

Tucked in Bed...

Gotta get up by 4am to prep for my 6:45am flight to the furniture show tomorrow. Packing for this meant that I’m partially packed for the Grand Canyon Birthday Adventure on Friday. Now all I go...

Dog Days

After getting my hair cut into my razor sharp bob collarbone length, I went to an event for work today and it was fun but very, very long and I can’t believe we had to stay there so long - but we...

Friday Morning, Quickly

I don’t feel like breaking the writing streak for October and I know I’m going to be busy for the rest of the day into evening and tonight, so I’ll just tap out a quickie now before my meetings b...

Too Tired

I’m too tired to write much of anything. It’s been the day of vaccines. First thing this morning, I took Martini to get her Lepto and Bordatella vaccines updated. Of course, the Lepto knocks ...

Past My Bedtime

…and not really for fun reasons at that! It’s been a busy, busy, BUSY day! In fact, I think today’s been the busiest since my injury and I’m still feeling pretty darn good. That’s quite excitin...

New iPhone Who Dis?

Okay, I looooovvvveee my new phone, but it does take a little getting used to. I don’t yet know how to operate the new camera functions. Three lenses in the back? Why? I know it’s for cool fu...

Was it a Holiday or Not?

So…did we celebrate Columbus Day or not? I don’t think I’ve ever “celebrated” it. I’ve always had to work on this holiday and I don’t even remember having the day off as a kid in school. But t...

Weekend of Brunching

This weekend was truly the weekend of brunching. It’s been everything. I’ve enjoyed the hell out of it. Today I brunched with Best Bud. We wined and dined and had a lovely, lovely time sitting...

Back in Bed

What a wonderful Saturday! I have done nothing but get out of bed, walk the dog, get a manicure (no pedi because I was wearing boots this morning - because…) brunch with the girls, second brunch...
