One Year Alcohol-Free

It feels weird to call it my Soberversary because I don’t feel like I was an alcoholic. But maybe I was? In a way? I mean, I did use alcohol as a means to cope and escape. It was something muc...

Back Home Again

I’ve been back home from my Christmas festivities with the fam for a couple of days now. I left mom and dad’s early because I ended up not needing to spend the extra night in my brother’s gross ...

Christmas Morning Dumps

Merry Christmas - ha, that title, huh? Well, as a colon cancer survivor, I can tell you that the Christmas morning dumps are honestly a thing of beauty. And I spent the night of Christmas Eve a...

Christmas Eve Morning *Burp*

Greetings from my brother’s lair. It’s actually the “guest bedroom” at my bro and SIL’s house (formerly my parents house), but since my bro and SIL don’t like sleeping in the same bedroom, my ...

Winter Solstice 2024

It’s the longest night of the year. Do you know what that means? We are celebrating the daylight getting longer every day from now until the Summer Solstice. Yay! As a Scorpio with Virgo risin...

Pre-Parties

Greetings from a hotel room in my former city. I took some PTO days and I’ve been here for a couple of days already and need to update on all things going on lately. There are two parties hap...

Lazy Saturday

It’s Saturday. It’s already after 10am and I haven’t even gotten out of my jammies. I haven’t even taken the dog for her morning walk! Poor thing! Update: It’s now 11:00am and I finally took Ma...

Hi December!

I re-posted a little quote on Instagram that said, “Hi December! You’re the last one, so be the best one.” So far it’s been a good December. The Diary Researchers have come and gone and have ...


NoJoMo 2024 Recap! November started with the Girls Halloween Weekend, which was super fun and so good to have my friends here for a few days. We did a lot of touristy and girlfriend-y thing...

Nov. 29: Black Friday

I bought exactly THREE Christmas Gifts for others, and then I bought myself three gifts! Here’s what I gifted myself today: A Med Spa gift certificate so I can Botox my crazy wrinkled fore...

Nov. 28: Eat and Run

Hi. Back from Mom and Dad’s. It was a true eat and run scenario, so there’s not much to write about. The weather has finally cooled down so it truly felt like Thanksgiving today. The 3-hour ...


…Thanksgiving and Mercury is in Retrograde! You know what that means, folks? That’s RIGHT! Your exes come out of the woodwork and ask if they can come stay with you over the weekend. Did I ...


Today the Holidays feel like they are about to take over the rest of my days until the end of the year…because they ARE! And I guess that’s just fine. I’m going to embrace it. Nobody’s head is...

Nov. 25: Dress Form Tree

Almost forgot to type out an entry. All of a sudden my life feels super busy. Duh. That’s what Holidays do. My apartment is still a shambles, but I’m getting there step by step. Tonight, I t...

Nov. 24: I Fixed It!

Remember my flower brooch Pinterest Fail? Well, I got a lot of suggestions on what to do with that disaster (namely, start all over again!), but someone asked if maybe I could somehow take a bu...

Nov. 23: Inflammatory Response

Did you know that I’m a No-vid? I’m one of those humans on this earth who hasn’t contracted Covid (fingers crossed, knock wood!). And I hope to remain that way forever! I got a Covid vaccine ye...

Nov. 22: Pinterest Fail!

I started work this morning at 6am, so I decided to call quitting time at about 2:30 so that I could work on the floral brooch that I wanted to use to accessorize for the infamous Black and Whit...

Nov. 21: So Much To Do!

I just spent the last hour and a half cutting out fabric circles for a craft I am trying to do. It’s going to be a floral brooch I want to wear as an accessory at the Black and White Holiday Par...


As you know, I started a physical and mental fitness journey on January 1 of this year. It started with the 75 Hard program, in which I thought I’d give myself a challenge since I was struggling...

Nov. 19: The Skinny on My Skin

Today I went to the dermatologist. I really like this guy a lot because he’s catching all the crap going on with my skin. But just LOOK at all the crap going on with my skin!! This is a list o...


You may or may not know this about me: I LOVE a good challenge! I started 2024 by doing something called 75 Hard, which is a “mental toughness” challenge (that includes a lot of diet and physica...


Gosh, I don’t know if I’ve ever missed two days in a row while trying to do a NoJoMo, but I appear to have done it. Here’s the thing - apparently, we just had the most transformative Supermoon...


[Athena] and I watched The Golden Bachelorette finale last night via FaceTime. And it did NOT disappoint! If you don’t know about the Golden Bachelor or Golden Bachelorette, they are spinoffs...


And here we go again. Another day. A much more logical day since I got up early and did my morning routine the way I like to do it, but still another day at home. Maybe I’ll go out into the worl...

Nov. 12: Discombobulated

I woke up late and it started my day off weird. I asked to cancel my weekly call to a vendor in China, and he was ok with that, but then I wasn’t productive at all. I need to fix that tomorrow...
