April 26 - Socializing in These Foolish Things
I was going to write about serious shit, but I think I need to put a little more thought into it. I know that this space is for barfing out ideas, but I don’t know that I have even a half-formed ...
April 25 - Not As Fragile in These Foolish Things
My dermatologist called me with the results of all of the biopsies he did last week. He sounded very, very serious. I started bracing myself for the absolute worst. In my mind, the very worst n...
April 24 - Next Level Unlocked in These Foolish Things
Well, WOW! Thank you everyone, for the amazing notes on my last entry! Sometimes I worry a little that I might be showing ignorance with my musings and ponderings, but they are honest thoughts an...
April 23 - PTG Pondering in These Foolish Things
I want to write a lot more about Post Traumatic Growth (I first posted about it here) and why it is not a thing here in the United States? Our fellow PBer, [sudare], who is Japanese, living in J...
April 22 - my adidas in These Foolish Things
I bought these adidas sneaks at DSW because they were the less-expensive ($75) version of these adidas sneaks ($100). And I love the cheaper version! Not only that, I received several compliment...
April 21 - PTG in These Foolish Things
You’ve heard of PTSD, right? Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Here’s a blurb from the Mayo Clinic’s website: Overview. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that’s tri...
April 20 - I Can’t Move in These Foolish Things
4/20: I never smoke weed or even eat gummies, so the whole 420 thing is just silly, whatever hahah stuff to me. I always think it’s funny when this day rolls around every year. Today it rained n...
April 19 - Long Day in These Foolish Things
Hi Friends! I bet you thought I’d forgotten to write an entry today, hm? Think again! I just had a very, very, veerrrrrryyyyy long day and I’m finally getting a chance to take a little rest befor...
April 18 - Wide Leg Jeans in These Foolish Things
Over the last few years, the trend in womens denim has gone from super duper skinny legs - we’re talking skin-tight, legging silhouettes to the widest of the wide-leg jean. It’s probably the larg...
April 17 - Blood! in These Foolish Things
My appointment yesterday actually turned out to be a little harder than I even thought it would be. I thought I had everything covered - and then the doc found two more additional suspicious spot...
April 16 - Skin *Update in These Foolish Things
I’m up to get myself ready for the day, then take the dog to daycare this morning so I can make it to my dermatology appointment. Believe it or not, I’ve never had a whole body scan in a dermato...
April 15 - Tax Day! in These Foolish Things
My accountant is so busy during tax season that ever since the pandemic he’s had to file extensions for me annually. This year, I got way out ahead of it and we filed nearly a month ago, so I did...
April 14 - Weekend Doings in These Foolish Things
By the way, I was not feeling sorry for myself in the last entry when I was talking about how nothing in my life has turned out the way I thought it would - I was simply observing and noting. It’...
April 13- The Good Life in These Foolish Things
It’s the weekend. Enough about work stuff. While it provides me with the funds to live this life, I know that’s not what life is all about. As part of my 75 Hard program, I started reading The Go...
April 12 - Something's Up in These Foolish Things
My direct boss is super weird. I think I’ve told you that. I’ve called him “Inbox Nazi” many times before. He cares about everyone having a Zero Inbox (no unfiled emails) over other important bus...
April 11 - Tapped Out in These Foolish Things
Rough day at work yesterday - don’t want to talk about it, but I’m annoyed and need to keep my ears to the ground and I HATE that. Why is my career so shaky at the end of it? It wasn’t supposed t...
April 10 - On This Day in These Foolish Things
So, so much going on in my FB Memories (you know, when photos from the past pop up and all of that emotion comes flooding back) and even here in PB with the On This Day section. Five years ago i...
April 9 - Got Mooned! in These Foolish Things
The eclipse was cool to see. We were worried around these parts that we wouldn’t get to see anything because of the expectation of low clouds and even possible thunderstorms. But the sky held o...
April 8 - Pickled in These Foolish Things
Went to my beginner Novice Pickleball League yesterday. For the first time since I’ve started to learn how to play, I felt like I was really in the game! It’s starting to get fun for me. Even th...
April 7 - The Cleanup in These Foolish Things
Yesterday (Saturday) was my Monthly Volunteer Day. I’ve said it in other entries that I’ve decided to volunteer at least once a month. I haven’t given myself any kind of restrictions or guidelin...
April 6 - The Brother in These Foolish Things
Finally saw my friend C. last night. He’d been MIA for a while. I know he leaves town frequently and goes to California to see his girlfriend and do work (what does that guy even DO?!), but it wa...
April 5 - Friday in These Foolish Things
It’s Friday. We made it. After working for Cool Cat Company for nearly 6 months now (can you believe it?!), I’m starting to enjoy working from home in some aspects. If you take out the fact that ...
April 4 - Andrew Huberman in These Foolish Things
I can’t remember how I’d fairly recently discovered Andrew Huberman, the neuroscientist professor at Stanford who also had a podcast and a popular Instagram page with 6.2M followers, but I’m sure...
April 3 - Agility in These Foolish Things
The days seem to fly by lately. Today’s read was about agility. You know how the older you get the less flexible you are? Unless you practice stretching both mentally and physically, you become ...
April 2 - Authenticity in These Foolish Things
Hey, good morning! I have read my book for the day and today’s lesson was in authenticity. It’s funny - I feel like I’m pretty authentic on the daily - just being my dorky self. But maybe I do t...
