Day 34 - A Fresh Batch?

Yesterday’s volunteer event with the thrift organization was just …off. First of all, the founder sent me a calendar invitation saying that the event would start an hour later than it normally d...

Day 33 - Pre-Loved Love

Really beautiful day yesterday. I mean, like the most perfect weather imaginable. I got dressed in my normal “Vintage Challenge” fashion by wearing at least one pre-loved piece. This time, I w...


What a month, huh? Started with my super unreliable friend, C. fucking around with my New Year’s Eve by not showing up until three hours after he told me he’d arrive. Lesson learned: set b...

Day 30.5 - WHY?!

Why does this shit keep happening? This time with the Hip Nerdy Atty. We had a fantastic coffee date that lasted a good, long time. The guy was sending me good morning texts every morning since ...


I had a dream last night that someone knocked LOUDLY on my door in the middle of the night. In my dream, I was living in my old Treehouse (the place where I lived before I moved to my current pl...

Day 29 - Updates on Various

Good morning. Time for some tidbits! Never heard anything back from Mr. Buy-Your-Own-Coffee. Appreciate all of the perspectives! Sure, I normally suggest paying my own way in dinner date si...


Name: Mr. Buy-Your-Own-Coffee Introduction Platform: Bumble Age: 57 Relationship Status: Single, no kids. No idea if he’s ever been married. Didn’t sound like it. There’s obviously nothing ...

Day 24 - Anger Issues?

So…Dad is doing well so far! Thank you for all the notes yesterday. We were even able to joke about it a little bit. He said he told mom to keep her hands off him for a while, HA! So cute. I’m s...

Day 23 - Circumcision!

I’m back on the front page, so I wanted to add a bit of a trigger warning for this entry. Don’t click if speaking medically about one’s elderly parents’ privates skeeves you out. . . . . . . . ...

Day 22 - Coffees (Plural)

Good morning, friends! Another arctic morning. I’ve done all of my morning routine, taken the dog out to potty, and now working (mostly). It’s going to warm up this afternoon and I’m looking fo...

Day 21 - Of Butternut Squash

Oh, the comments about how to fix, cut, roast, and enjoy butternut squash! THANK YOU! I wasn’t even going to mention the tidbit about my soup because I thought perhaps it was a boring read, but ...


I’m easing into the day this morning, enjoying my coffee and reading a few entries. I’ll do my workout in a bit, shower, and then figure out how many layers I need to put on in order to stay war...

Day 19 - Nesting

Is it weird that I’m so excited about nesting for the next few days? We are getting the arctic blast that a good portion of the country is getting, and I have plans to stay inside (except for do...


Just out of a long, long strategy meeting where I basically presented my ideas for what I’m going to be doing with the company for the next two years. My bosses were thrilled with what I’d put t...

Day 14 - All Over the Place

Okay, hi! I haven’t felt like writing in the last couple of days, and now that I let myself fall back to sleep this morning and it’s thrown my morning routine off, I feel like writing. Nothing i...

Day 9 - Bullies

Guess I missed a day yesterday. Whoopsie. At least writing an entry a day isn’t part of my challenge. Maybe it should be?? Anyway. I’m nesting while working. It’s cold here and we are supposed ...


(continued from last entry) More things I have been wanting to write about and need to circle back on: The Disaster Hotel: Around mid-October last year (I think?), I got an email from one of t...


Hah. Welcome back to work, everyone! Today’s the day we all circle back from all that shit we left undone last year. I love all the memes that have been going around, but I’m also guilty of doin...

Day 5 - Keep the Lights On!

OK. I’m tired of writing about my brother now. Let’s move on, shall we? It’s Sunday night and tomorrow things go back to “normal” after the holidays. There’s going to be a lot to do on the work...


It’s the end of the day on Saturday. I got up outrageously early, did my workout, dropped the dog at daycare and drove 3.5 hours to the big flea market before I drove the 30 minutes to my parent...

Day 3 - Visualize!

Hey! Did you know that it’s actually Friday today? I know that our clocks get all messed up during the holidays. Most people are still on vacation and won’t get back to business until Monday. Th...

Day 2 - New Year's AITA?

Good morning! I’m sorta working today and sorta not. I only had one meeting scheduled for today and that person asked if we could cancel, so I said yes. And voila! No meetings for today, but I...

Day 1 - New Start

Happy New Year! Happy 2025! Happy to wake up to a fresh new year. Saddened to wake up to the news of the truck barreling through the streets shooting in New Orleans. Man, what a dark shadow t...
