A Rollicking Good Time?

Feels like another long lull in my writing. I wanted to write some yesterday, but my day was filled with work (what a pain!) and then quickly getting out of the office to go to an event that did...

Week in Bullets

Ugh, you guys. I’m woefully behind on my entry writing and even farther behind on my entry reading…and even waaaaay farther behind on my noting. Sorry! What have I been up to, you ask? Oh. Not...

Last Biz Trip of 2018

Okay, I’m on the plane headed on my last business trip of the year. It’s sooooo wonderful to get out of the office, but because I’ve had so few biz trips this year, I feel like an amateur. It’s ...


Friday with Lovely Leah was fun-ish. I knew it would take her a while to get downtown from the burbs - and she’s always late. But we got a decent start and got her a good parking spot on the ...


The last NoJoMo entry of 2018, folks. It’s gonna be a quickie, but I wanted to make sure to squeak this one out. My Tinder date for tonight must have sensed my excitement over The Scot’s ticke...

NJM18 - 29: Guess What?

TICKET BOOKED!!!! I’m meeting The Scot on December 30th!! FUCK…that felt like pulling fucking TEETH! xox, GS


I don’t know, you guys. I’ve said it in notes, but I’m starting to feel a bit foolish as I checked for flights from Edinburgh to NYC over the NYE weekend, and I don’t think there are really any ...


Woke this morning to phone call after phone call from an unrecognized number at 4:30am (Tuesdays and Thursdays are my mornings to sleep in a little). I was trying to ignore the phone, but they ju...


Where did that weekend go? It was quite a weekend! Wednesday, the 21st we got out early at work (I ended up finally leaving at 2pm) Thursday, the 22nd I worked out and then did the Turkey Trot ...

NJM18 - 25: I Was Wrong

Well, I was wrong. Wine-ish isn’t newly divorced. He has been divorced for 13 years. Someone asked me privately what I meant by that divorced look in my previous entry. What I mean is that so...

NJM18 - 24: RAD: Wine-ish

Name: Wine-ish (aka “Perry” from earlier posts, but Wine-ish suits better) Introduction Platform: An old-fashioned SET UP! A former colleague of mine sent me a text asking about my relationshi...

NJM18 - 23: I Can't.

I can’t write at the end of the night after lots of super expensive wine and meeting a new guy. I’m sorry. I suck. Hopefully I can write tomorrow. xox, GS

NJM18 - 22: ThxGvng

I’m Thankful, yes I am. But I don’t really have it in me to really write about it right now. Abbreviated version: I’m at my parents’ place and I’m spending the night here so that I can get up ea...

NJM18 - 21: Early Out

We got out early at work today, which was nice because I’ve just about had enough. Yes, Boss was not in the office, but I saw Brown Nosey waddling through the hallways a couple of times and was j...

NJM18 - 20: Some Momentum!

Today started off slowly. I knew boss was out of the office today so I took my time getting ready, took my time getting the dog ready (not that there’s a lot to do to get my dog ready - well, sh...


Ugh. This is what happens around the holidays. People get busy getting the fuck out of work and they don’t finish what they started until they’re back and good and ready. I never got a confirmat...

NJM18 - 18: Homebody

Today was a decent day. Started with a walk and talk with The Scot. We FT’d while I walked the dog. It was a very good talk and we both wanted to see each other later in the day…so we agreed we...


Today I woke early to text a bit with The Scot who actually went to work this morning so his teams could do a little overtime work and that he could get some extra things done at his office. We ...

NJM18 - 16: Nibbles

Today I didn’t have anything to eat for lunch and didn’t have time to run out and grab something to eat. So I went to the vending machine at work and got a bag of Cheetos. I came back around to ...

NJM18 - 15: Maybe Tomorrow?

Another long day at the salt mines. Started this morning at 8:30 when I got called into a two-hour meeting by surprise because Boss forgot to add me to the invite list. I don’t know how that ha...


Started an entry at work just to try to get it out of the way at the beginning of the day and it’s now 8:45pm, so see how that turned out? I’m exhausted. Today I was handed another new project an...

NJM18 - 13: It Is Time

I’m taking a mental break at work and figured I could knock out my entry for the day. I had a dream last night - one of being sucked underwater. It was some kind of machine that would suck a pers...


Got home from work just after 8pm. You guys. This shit isn’t working. I’ve spent two full working days now (of my 45 days!) doing stupid shit that’s NOT even my go-forward job. I’ve been trac...


11/11 is Singles Day in China. It’s the day that’s kind of like their Black Friday and everything online is like on crazy sale. It’s always the biggest day in retail now over there, and I’d for...


Nothing incredibly exciting to report for today except that I did a 1.5 hour workout this morning instead of my usual hour and it just about killed me. Of course, everyone says you get used to i...
