Are we in the clear yet?

Still very much in my Swiftie era. It’s been so long since I wrote, I can’t even remember what it was about. Alex’s birthday? Who knows. Well I have Britney Spears’ memoir next to me, an LGBTQI...

Three kids and a puppy

Quick-is update. Bought a new car a few weeks ago, I went with the Mazda CX-9. Won a bunch of safety awards, it’s a little bigger than my old car. I’m happy with it. Hershey trip was fun. Prob...

Good news/Bad news

We’ll start with the good: Alex turned 7 last week. SEVEN. How? Time flies. This is his last week of school and we have no summer plans. No one took us up on babysitting, which seems bizarre...

Diagnose me

Honestly not looking for a medical diagnosis because I should see a doctor for that. HOWEVER. I do need a vent sesh. I have been in GI hell since Wednesday. Started with bloating and just kind ...

Snow on the beach

Well. It’s been a week. Or two weeks. However long since last I wrote. I’m on vacation this week. Stay-cation while Alex is on spring break. Last week at work was… insane. Our medical direct...


Last week was probably my worst work week since joining hospice. Every single day there was drama and bullshit. Even on my day off, I was getting calls and emails about the BIG drama. Which I a...


Ugh where to start. We’re fine. Everyone is fine. Craig and I are just totally exhausted. We adopted a puppy two weeks ago. It was a smooth process. Meet the dog, fill out application, get in...

I'm tapping out

How the fucking fuck is it so hard to adopt a dog? WHY is it so hard to adopt a dog? I know I said I’d take a break after all the crap with Archie. Do I feel emotionally ready to get another do...

Not me

Not me gagging over Rihanna’s halftime show (will explain later) Not me DoorDashing Panera for lunch even though it’s less than 5 minutes from my house. Not me ignoring all the things I should be...

Money talks

I think I mentioned last entry that Craig finally got his raise and promotion, along with a new work vehicle. So his head was way up in the clouds this week. And it’s deserved, he’s been “promi...

A little more loco than usual

Welllll it’s been a weird week. Craig is bothering me about getting another dog ASAP. Archie hasn’t even been dead a week, can we just chill on this for a bit? I cannot emotionally attach mysel...

Everything sucks

We had to put Archie down yesterday. It absolutely broke my heart to make that call and I think I’ll probably be traumatized from that decision for awhile. I wasn’t going to get into the details...

The Archie Show

Where do I even begin?? I’ll try to be as concise as possible. We went to Brooklyn two Saturdays ago to adopt Gonzo. When we arrived at the shelter, they told us he’d been adopted out the night...

Crickets

Never heard a damn thing back from the shelter. Now the dog’s not on Petfinder or their website. I’m pissed. Like at least reply back or send an email like, “Thanks for your interest. Unfortun...

Refresh. Refresh. Refresh.

I’m sitting at my kitchen table and the chair has a wonky spring so it’s making all these funny noises with every little move. Annoying, yet oddly charming. I’m avoiding charting because I’m jus...

Itchy brain

You know the expression “I woke up and chose violence?” This morning, I woke up and chose anger. I just woke up and was immediately pissy and enraged. It’s not been a pretty day. I outright to...

2022 wrap up

Alex stayed up until almost 11. I was dozing by 10 lol. Happy 2023, everyone! 1) What were your biggest challenges in 2022? -Saying no. I was trying to make a good impression at the new job an...


Book Description

New book for the trials and tribulations (and good times, too) that 2023 will bring me.
