You know how I’ve just been… abysmally down about work lately? They’ve started “a long over due” construction issue. Which means, around our offices, loud machines active throughout the entire da...


Sadly, this is neither an “About Time” as in something expected but delayed happened. Nor is this “About Time” the Rachel McAdams film from 2013. Nor is it the K-Drama originally titled “Meomc...


So, I’m not even adjusting the privacy setting on this entry. It is PUBLIC. And, as it is being written on my home PC… typos are expected as this is the same keyboard I was bitching about 3 yea...


Hermia texted me this morning. She is incredibly sick and is going to get tested for Strep Throat. I think it is a good idea and will be doing the same. The throat pain really is the most aggra...


ALL of last week and so far ALL of this week, each morning comes with… I lack the word to describe. It takes me an hour or more to get out of bed. And when I do, I desperately don’t want to be ...


I hate my body. In so many specific ways. I awoke on Monday and could not move. My body went unresponsive. A fact of my physical condition. This happens… more often than I’d like to admit… bu...


Living in a time where Kellog’s tried to push “Cereal for Dinner” and where my bag of ice literally says, “Ice is a food!” sure does seem pretty dystopian. BUT then add in the other element. All ...


I hate writing from my phone but I am out, so we’re just going to deal with it. I should write about yesterday (and today) as there is a LOT of relationship stuff to write about. Instead, I wante...


I… should have expected this. I suppose on some level I did. Today is March 15. BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH! And I woke up intent to write a public post to bring attention to our Community’s Shake...


I’m the first person to admit that we rely too much on technology. I’m also typically one of the first people to mention how by relying too much on technology, we’ve given technology businesses ...


For a lark, I decided to see how many entries I’ve actually published this year. The counter says this will be my 53rd entry for the year. This is the 65th day of the year. So I got to thinki...


(This is going in a very different direction than my previous entries. I do still intend to answer notes or respond; but this is more where my brain is right now as I am preparing for work.) Last...

3/2 in Whatever Will Be Will Be

As ever- I hope to actually reply to notes but I can’t make any promises. Hopefully, some of what I write here will go some ways towards responding to some elements as well. First, I want to say...


I am deeply exhausted. Body, soul, mind, heart, everything. I am wiped out! Like… I know I have an absolute SHIT TON to do today and some things are time sensitive and the list isn’t going to ...


This weekend was… well, something? Rather significant evidence that things aren’t exactly “filling me up with peace and energy” really. Friday Night, I picked Hermia up from rehearsal and we wen...


When Hermia came back from rehearsal today, there was an interesting exchange that illuminated a few things. She came back to her house and was telling me that tonight was their first Tech Rehear...


I am presently preparing a jury trial. Yes, the show ended Sunday so one might think, “You have your nights back.” But yesterday I was in the office until 8:45 p.m. Tonight, I would be in the ...

4 Shows Down in Whatever Will Be Will Be

Three to go. I am massively going to miss this cast and this show. I realize Hermia is chomping at the bit for it to be over and I will benefit from having more time on my hands but… I have lov...


Today was an interesting health day! Woke up and… couldn’t go a full 60 minutes without needing the bathroom. That was even just pushing water… not even attempting food! Hermia suggested some OT...


I hate writing on my phone but this will have to do. Yesterday, I grabbed a rapid lunch and ate it quickly. Then I went back to work. Where I threw up into my trashcan in my office ruining my ti...


Honestly, I wish I could approach this space and just share heaps of joy and happiness; that I could be sitting in a beautiful 3 season room, enjoying Autumn weather, while reading other people’s...


So, this is my job. But there is just so much of me that can’t help but look at the assortment of… pardon my language… assholes that I deal with from an almost paternal perspective. I don’t han...


Story by Amanda Marcotte taken from SALON (found HERE) Despite the best efforts of the mainstream media to portray the Republican Iowa caucus as a real competition between Donald Trump, former Go...

01.09.2024 in Whatever Will Be Will Be

Okay, very much OW. After rehearsal last night, it started to snow. It was expected to be bad. Going home added several more minutes to the route. I even went to bed early because I had a doct...

01.08.2024 in Whatever Will Be Will Be

Lots I can/should/could write as ever. But busy as ever. But this time operating on a grand total of oddly gotten sleep. Friday Night I literally couldn’t sleep a wink. No nap, no eyes shut f...
