Cliffhangers

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...

More Christmas Surprises!

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...

Christmas Eve Surprises!

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...

Tits The Season

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 Birthmas in the Woods

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...

Updates on Various

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...

Updates on the 'Vid

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 ...

The Gift that Keeps on Giving

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...

This One Broke Me

Maybe getting on here to type out an entry is a habit now after doing it all of November? I’m down again. Got the blues something awful. I was keeping something to myself until I’d manifested it ...

NJM #30 - Puppy Parade

The best thing about work today: the dogs. Wednesdays are pet-friendly days at the Instagrammable set-up display two doors down in the mall. Yes, the display that has a $50 entry fee. And OH! Th...

NJM #29 - Almost there.

I can’t believe this month is almost over! I always love writing an entry a day, but I sometimes feel at a loss for words. Today I had the day off and it was an unseasonably warm day. I looovved ...

NJM #28 - Fluffing

It was a good day. I didn’t have to work until 1:30 this afternoon, so I slept in a little and got a very, very good walk in the sunshine with Martini this morning. Then to the grocery store wher...

NJM #27 - My Big Mouth

Worked from 11-5:30 today. It was fine-ish. But it’s already getting old. Is it Christmas yet? I’m still making some rookie mistakes and Dick Manager is still barking in my ear piece, but I’m kin...

NJM #26 - It's Coming

I’m tired of writing about retail. Plus, I’m just plain tired. I didn’t sleep well last night and then worked on my feet for 8 full hours. But that’s all I’m going to write about today’s work stu...

NJM #25 - Black Friday

I made it through. It wasn’t all that brutal from a customer standpoint, but one of the managers was an absolute DICK to me on the freaking walkie-talkie! She kept giving me shit about everything...

NJM #24 - Thanksgiving

Well shiiiiit, how y’all doin? (I miss Leslie Jordan 😢) It’s Thanksgiving and my internet’s down. I think I get a hall pass from tapping an entry out on my phone, yes? It was a good day, aside ...

NJM #23 - Where My Heart Hurts

Worked a long day today. A lot of things happened. Some highlights include: Giving my phone number to a smoking hot dude only to get shirtless pics (whyyyyy???) Having some dude tell me how beau...

NJM #21 - Beautiful Day

Two days off in a row. Monday and Tuesday were like a very nice weekend. Tomorrow I will work a long 8-hour shift (I know that’s a “normal” workday, but it’s the longest shift I’ve worked at this...

NJM #21 - Reminiscing

I was kind of clicking around through old entries tonight trying to figure out what to write, and I came across something that I thought was hilarious. One of the last business trips I took righ...

NJM #20 - It's My Friday!

Not much to write about today except I did a looonggg six hour shift that was really seven for various reasons - mainly they schedule additional time for breaks, etc. and THEN the time it takes t...


I don’t have much to say today except that I worked 4 hours in the store today. It was Saturday so it was busy. I don’t know if I’m doing a very good job or not. The store that I work in is actu...

NJM #18 - Fit Session

I had to work at the store today. 1:00-5:00. I’m so appreciative of the half days to start out with because they help me get my bearings and not get too tired. Today was an extra special day beca...

NJM #17 - I Don't Wanna

I have been sitting here for a while trying to figure out what to write. There’s a lot on my mind - a LOT, but I don’t have it in me right now to organize those thoughts onto this screen, so I’m ...

NJM #16 - Act Your Wage

Day #3 at the retail salt mines. Ha! I’m only working 4-hour shifts right now, so they are really quite easy, save for all of the new stuff about devices and people talking in my ear and figuring...


Today was my day off from my holiday retail gig. Here’s what happened: I emailed Utah Home Decor company to ask them about the status of my reimbursement of the trip expenses (esp. for stinky h...
