Happy Sunday Night! Gotta make this brief because I’m exhausted and tomorrow starts my first full work week at The Cutie Pie Company - it’s going to be intense and I set my alarm even earlier be...

---

Level 0: Lovely came to visit my new home (The Place) on Sunday. She was in town with her husband to visit her in-laws and I thought she and her husband were going to come visit on their way back...

---

Whew! Day 1 at The Cutie Pie Company was fast and furious, as I knew it would be. I literally had back to back to back to back meetings - no time to really even go to the bathroom. And poor Marti...

---

I’m heading out for my first day of work in a bit and it occurs to me that I haven’t written anything about it! I’ve had so many other big things happening with the apartment flood and the move a...

---

It’s starting to get real around here. It’s Monday morning - beginning of my first work week. But I won’t start until Wednesday, as that is the first day of the pay period. I’m not mad about it ...

---

Good Thursday morning. I can’t believe we are already nine days into February and my new job will start in less than a week. This has been a looonngg, drawn out Funemployment, hasn’t it? I was ho...

---

The electricity at The Place finally came back on after 72 hours of blackout. Last I wrote, our dear PBer, [Ylime] was letting me stay at her place at night during the outage as my place was col...

---

Where to even start? I’m still unpacking - that’s kind of a given. But now I’m trying to unpack without any power on in The Place. My apartment was in the path of the Big Winter Storm of 2023. Se...

---

I’m still pretty buried in boxes, but now some of them are unpacked and there’s just stuff everywhere! Luckily, the weather here is supposed to be disastrous until at least Thursday, so I’m hunke...

---

So the move happened, and it actually went quite well! I’d asked the moving company to please send the same team who’d packed me up and took my things to storage. This team was lead by a very th...

---

After a pretty full few days of visiting friends and family and checking things off my lists, I’m going to be heading out today. I have been staying at the one and only [Athena]’s place and I’m a...

---

Greetings from…[Athena]’s place! I’m still in the in-between state of moving, but [Athena] offered me her place (she’s not here - she’s in Alabama with her man at her beach condo) until the mover...

---

Greetings from my hotel room back in [my old city]. I’m trying to tie up loose ends here, do my 3-month doctor visits and see as many people as I can before I leave. It’s a weird feeling. The ma...

---

Ok, y’all. I found a place. It’s not the Treehouse, but nothing’s going to be that same space - and it shouldn’t be, you know? It’s a long story, but I spent pretty much ALL week searching for so...

---

I’m on a mission this week to find the next place to live. Staying in Airbnbs. I’ve been staying in a garage apartment the last couple of days in this super cool neighborhood. The weather’s been...

---

Time for a super quick update from the road! Where did I last leave off? I think I’m gonna have to bullet this bitch. Remember my apartment flooded on Christmas Eve. I saw that as a clear sign...

---

Popping on just to get an entry in on the first of January. Maybe I can come back to this habit like I do every November? I have SO MUCH to tell you, but once again, I am exhausted just because I...

---

I’m sorry - I feel like I’m leaving everyone hanging with these bits and pieces of info on my current situation here and there, but I have to tell you that this is absolutely freaking STRESSFUL d...

---

Ugh. The flood saga continues (see previous entry), but it also feels like old news. Yes, the Treehouse is a shambles - there are power fans and dehumidifiers throughout my whole place, and holes...

---

Regardless of my previous entry - the one where I accidentally gave away a $300 hat and felt like a turd - I felt incredibly festive going to work on Christmas Eve. I was working the 9:00am - 3:3...

---

The title of this entry is something I saw on a t-shirt of one of the customers walking through the retail store where I’m working the holiday season. It was a perfect shirt to be wearing the oth...

---

Lovely’s birthday falls very close to Christmas, so she has a party every year and calls it her Birthmas. It’s always a big shindig at her house and lots and lots of people come and there is tons...

---

Mom and Dad’s Covid: They are better. So much so that they went to my niece’s Christmas music show at her school last night. My niece barely had any symptoms and her school told her she could com...

---

Dad got it. Two days later, Mom tested positive. Today my niece tested positive, making my dad bawl his big ol’ heart out because she’ll be missing her school concert and other Christmas-y kid ...

---

My sweet dad got the covid. It makes me feel so bad because we have spent YEARS trying to protect the patriarch of my family from the fucking ‘vid and the first time he and mom go to do something...
