Funny how everyone found the Dominatrix class so titillating but no questions about the yoni massage? But yes, I took a class and wasn’t just messing with you. But anyway…I’ve always been fascin...

What did you do in 2023 that you had never done before? Lived a full calendar year in Australia Didn’t eat, speak, read or use electronic devices for 5 days on an artist’s retreat Became a certif...

I felt like I hadn’t updated since 2021 but looking at entries I am not as behind as I thought, yay! Even though my last entries are about Summer of 2021, I wrote/posted those about a year after...

---

Arriving home in NYC I was thrilled to be free but was still furious about the entire situation. Seeing the extreme lengths the producers were willing to go through, from forging hotel confirmati...

---

The next morning we were woken up by some loud people being dropped off at the hotel entrance. It was our group, shouting and laughing at 10am. After some time we started to hear them through t...

---

August 2021, we were on a ship in the middle of a Fjord in Norway. I had been pulled aside from the group and was standing outdoors on the front top deck, barefoot in a bathrobe, bathing suit, k...

---

After the weirdness at the airport, we all arrived at the hotel (yes with the non-household sharing roommate pairs rooming together per the original assignments.) In the sprinter van we were bri...

---

This entry is about events that happened in August of 2021, about a month after I went to Russia, got COVID, got stuck. (Obviously summer 2021 was a bit of a different time in terms of COVID res...

---

I’d say I’m a day late and a dollar short with this recap but it’s…February already so guess it’s a month late and $30 short? 2022 was the year I hoped to pull myself out of pandemic slump. It d...

---

It’s a sunny day but I am facing away from the water, sitting cross legged with the laptop in my lap, typing. I don’t have my feet on the floor because our robot vacuum, Jackie, is working. I a...

---

I think the last time I wrote was on a Wednesday too. There is something about going into the office which is usually Tuesday for me, that makes me appreciate a leisurely morning, including a di...

---

I woke up early this morning and looked out on the lake at sunrise. Rosy pink skies, glassy flat grey water at dawn, and two hot air balloons gearing up to fly, one red, one blue. Fell back asle...

---

We arrived in Australia in late March, still a little shellshocked but overall life has been really good. We were incredibly fortunate in our process as we received special global talent visas t...

---

current book Right now I am half through The Salt God’s Daughter. On paper this book should be right up my alley (magical realism, ocean themes) but I haven’t gotten into it. It’s kind of like ...

---

. . . . TW: brief, non-detailed mentions of death, cancer, rape, suicide . . . . I’m going to ignore that I tried to get back into the swing of things here again but then it’s been 4 months. And...

---

After testing positive for COVID, I was a bit shellshocked. A lot of the others were in disbelief too, but it made a weird kind of sense to me. I don’t think we even knew at the time that you c...

---

After the stillness of that first encounter with Baikal and its waters, I was launched back into a flurry of frantic activity with other humans. Meeting up with my teammates and the larger team...

---

So in late March 2021 I received the second dose and started to feel a little less worried. Life continued on, perhaps with a bit less stress than usual from COVID, but then work started to get ...

---

(Kalsarikannit - Finnish for underweardrunk, or “the feeling when you are going to get drunk home alone in your underwear.”) Before my last (non-entry) entry, I last wrote on February 11th, 2020....

---

Okay, it’s been 2 years, 2 months since my last entry and let’s face it, I wasn’t great about updating even before the hiatus. I have no excuses and make no apologies. Just grateful to be here...

---

In November we went to Barbados. They put us up in a ridiculous suite with the most beautiful view of the ocean, a pool, and a swim-up pool-bar! I liked the format of this event too - each day...

---

We knew it was bound to happen. In a cute but shabby part of Manhattan’s West Village, sandwiched between upscale lingerie shops, an English tea parlour, and the sleek flagship Equinox gym, was ...

---

I don’t know if I’m coming back to life again yet, but there’s movement. Last weekend my friend T was in town from London so we took her out on the boat. We bought all this brunch stuff but she ...

---

I have done absolutely nothing to better myself since I last posted. Have gone through some fits and spurts of getting back on track but overall things have been mostly the same. I am still the...

---

It’s been a grind of a year. Mostly my own fault. Work has been rough. I’ve had two low performing coordinators in a row and it’s really difficult to do my job when I can’t rely on the people ...
