Ugh. The cold weather of the last week truly did a number on me. I guess I didn’t realize how much. I mean, my last entry should have been a sign. I was so OVER being stuck inside and couldn’t W...
Day 53 - Last Day of Hibernation
Okay. This is it. The dog and I are going stir-crazy. This will be the last day of hibernation for us for the winter. I’m documenting it right now because I mean it! In fact, when the weather s...
Day 52 - Hibernating
It’s been exceptionally cold and blustery here, and it will continue into Sunday. I haven’t left my apartment since last Sunday, except to take the dog out for her walks. I literally haven’t...

Day 31 - A Look Back at January
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 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. . . . . . . . ...

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 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 ...
