Last night I had my small gathering to help me drink all of the bottles of bubbly I have stashed in my fridge and hither and yon throughout my apartment. When I say it was a blowout with just eig...

Back to Work

…for just three days this week - not so bad. Plus, it’s super quiet here and should be all three days. Most folks took this week off, making for an 11-day vacation. I decided to “cover” for th...

Christmas Ten

Didn’t sleep hardly a wink last night (Christmas Eve) at my parents’ house. Not because of anticipation, but because I feel like their neighborhood is not really all that safe anymore. Sure, ...

Where's My Happy Medium?

I had the interview with the EVP today. I’m not quite qualified, but the EVP was so gracious about me coming and talking with him. He thanked me several times and said some really nice things, ...

Rest of the Weekend

So, Saturday was pretty fun. I did end up sleeping heavily, waking late, still feeling hungover from Wednesday night. That’s 3 days of hangover. Not good. I thought maybe walking it off would ...

Seasonal Shenanigans

Ugh. I’m now working on Day 2 of the Colossal Hangover of 2016. Wow. I can’t believe how hard this hit me. I guess I was really looking forward to a blowout. I don’t think I explained the sit...

All or Nothing

Just a quick drive-by and I’ll fill in the details later, but here’s another example of me being very all or nothing… I went out last night with my friend and co-worker, C. She’s the one who tra...

Tongue Out Tuesday

I don’t know why that’s my title, but it is. Usually, this involves pets on Instagram, right? But I guess instead I’m sticking my virtual tongue out at you. Lovingly, of course. So, remember I...


I’m already writing 2017 dates on a lot of documents, and I almost did that in the title, but I figured I should update on the various goings on… Work: Strange. We’re moving in new directions a...

12.4 The Search

Hi Everyone! It’s been nice to take a tiny break from writing an entry a day. I do like doing that, but I think I just start feeling obligated to write (by my own doing, of course) and then the...

11.30 The End...

…of November anyway. Nearly 8:30 and my dog is already passed out in bed. She went to daycare today, so I think/hope she’s just worn out, but I don’t know that I’ve ever seen her this tired. Sh...

11.29 Home Stretch

Almost done with this bloody month. Pun intended. So tired of having a monthly time. It’s still like clockwork. I don’t know what to even think about it anymore…just a nuisance since I’m not ...

11.28 Monday Had to Come

Yeah, was a big, fat bummer going into work today, but the dog was happy and that always makes me happy. You guys, I get to take my dog to work and she expresses SO MUCH JOY when we get to the o...

11.27 Sunday Schmunday

Another decent day. Got some shit done and even got another mid-day nap in. Wish the days could all be so mellow…but maybe with a little bit of spice added in there? ;) Finished cleaning up the...

11.26 Saturday Doings

Today was a pretty decent day. Got up and started clearing out my little storage space so that I could get my Christmas decorations out. Turned into a massive project that’s still not quite done...


Yes. Full of the Food Lude. Had a great time at my folks’ place and now I’m back to my downtown apartment. All is calm. All is bright. But I’m cold! It’s not even really cold here, and I am ...

11.24 Mexican Turkey Day

Happy Thanksgiving! I’m at my parents’ place at the lake and about to go night-night. It’s been a day. Started at 5am with my workout and then did a 5k Turkey Trot (though I walked with the do...

11.23 I Needed This

Happy Hour tonight. It was impromptu and it was very welcome. Met my old counterpart, Ryan and another friend from work out at a bar close to my apartment after I picked up the dog from daycar...


I crawled into bed at a little after 8 to do my usual cruising the internet and writing of my November entry-a-day. I ended up in the bed in such a way that the dog lay down on my chest (she’s t...

11.21 Wine, Women and Song

Feeling a little bit better today, even though it’s Monday. Getting over the shock and awe of yesterday’s discovery. If you don’t know, go back one entry. Went to the opera yesterday with my fri...

11.20 Brutal

This was me last night after going down an online rabbit hole, searching for The Bulldog. It’s a long story, but the BD has a circle of unbelievably amazing friends, including a couple of former...

11.19 Not Much.

Saturday. Cold front blew through this morning. It was a nice switch and change of pace, but the heat is now on in my apartment and I feel very bundled up. Drank coffee this morning as I slowly...

11.18 Fried Day

I’m so over this week. I’m done, done, done. Boss got promoted to Executive Vice President today, but he’s been playing that role for months now. I just don’t like his smarmy ways - he’s supe...

11.17 Workout Therapy

Feeling better today for a few reasons. Well, I should back up. After I went to bed last night at 8:30, I woke up at midnight and couldn’t get back to sleep. A million thoughts were swirling...

11.16 Sliding Through November

On the back side of November now. Damn. How does time fly so quickly? Probably because I’m so crazed at work now that there’s no time to even figure out what day it is! I’m obsessed with weig...
