Not much to say today. It was Monday. Is Monday. Kind of a shit day…or really, more of a blah day…starting with the 4:30am workout. I couldn’t seem to get it going today. But of course I did. I...


Got an extra hour of sleep this morning but it sure didn’t feel like it. The event last night was kind of a bust. I was absolutely shocked that it was so much different than years past. I mean...

NJM18 - 3: Buck's Fizz

Glorious Saturday! The weather is absolutely stunning and I’ve had a fantastic morning and afternoon so far. Began the day with a FaceTime with The Scot. I swear to you, I never stop laughing ...

NJM18 - 2: Writing on the Wall

OMG - work is super annoying today and the writing is on the wall - unless something drastically changes, the company just may go down…and the biggest frustration is that the line that I created ...

NJM18-1: Taking Action

First day of NoJoMo! I’m off and running. Thanks for the thoughts about The Scot and The Texts. I booked my flight for NYC last night. And then I sent this text to the Scot: ”Let’s make this ...

Practicing

I suppose I might as well start practicing for NoJoMo. I do this every year and I really love doing it. It makes me want to write and write and write what’s on my mind. In fact, I don’t know wh...


Haven’t really felt like writing the past few days. Here’s a partial list of the stuff that’s been going on lately… Had a Birthday: My birthday was on Friday and it was very uneventful. I flew u...

What do you make of this?

CEO came to my office first thing this morning to ask me what I need from her to stay with the company as far as making sure I gain the skills needed for this “new” position I’ve temporarily been...

Ugly. *

Big layoffs at work today. It’s just the start. I didn’t get fired, but I got put on a PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) that’s conditional for 45 days! They are changing my role…but it’s not ...

More Scot, Please!

Things with The Scot are pretty amazing, if you consider a texting and FaceTime relationship valid…which, you guys overwhelmingly seem to! I was actually surprised at all of the positive comment...

Let's Talk Scot!

Okay, okay!!! I’m going to tell you about The Scot before it gets too late and maybe too weird (if it isn’t already) to write about it without being embarrassed or heartbroken. It’s likely to b...

The Last Part: Heading Home

Here below are my notes on the last couple of days that I spent on my September trip… September 16th: Woke in my hotel room in London feeling a little melancholy as it was my last full day of the...


Continuing my long, drawn out story of my trip in September… September 14th: Woke late-ish (for me) in the morning. My train back to London wasn’t until 12:30, which meant I had a nice, lazy mo...

RAD: The Outta Towner

Yes, I’m interrupting my continuing story of my September trip again - now nearly a month has gone by! But life keeps happening, and here’s something that happened over the weekend. I never wan...


Thankfully, I’ve been super busy with work and distracted by The Scot (you haven’t met him yet - more on him later) that I haven’t had time to think much about the horrible shitball that is Bache...

Aftermath

Yeah, y’all. Thank you for the notes regarding yesterday’s weirdness about my fling hurting my feelings. They helped me tremendously. I was in a pretty shitty place for a while. I had to leav...

Kicked in the Vagina

I’ve continued to write the story of my recent vacation to Europe and the UK, and I know it’s taking me a while to write it. In the meantime, life keeps rolling along. Today, something upsettin...

Such a Tease!

I’m back from just about the greatest vacation I’ve ever had in my LIFE! No kidding…this trip had EVERYTHING: intrigue, action, drinking, nudity (and what comes with that!!!!), food, sights, sc...

Trip Update - From the Train

Left you last in Paris on the morning of my second day. I was about to head out to the flea markets. Closed the entry and headed for the Metro. Needed to change trains at a particular stop and...
