I guess I’m off the prompts for now. No biggie. Let them (ha, see previous entry). I took my friend C to dinner tonight to thank him for taking care of Martini while I traipsed off to Mexico to h...

…but Mexico really wasn’t ALL bad! I know I gave you the impression that it was a terrible vacation. It wasn’t! In fact, 93% of it was lovely. It’s a shame that I let 7% of the time take up so m...

Sunday evening. I’m home from Mexico and exhausted. Whew. What a freaking trip. That truly took a lot out of me. Disclaimer: All of the things I’m about to say below are going to sound petty and...

No idea what the prompt is today - okay, I just saw. I can’t do prompts today. Still on my Girls Trip in Mexico. Tonight was emotional because Lisa, one of the girls in my group, suggested that ...

Prompt: Thirsty Thursday! What do you like to drink - alcoholic and nonalcoholic? Are you really asking me this question right now? While I’m in the land where they push tequila on you as soon as...

Prompt: Something no one else knows is… I was going to write an entry earlier because I had a ton of time at the airport but then time got away from me and here I am in Mexico with my friends - t...

Prompt: What’s your biggest pet peeve about yourself? Surprised I’ve been doing the prompts, but then again, I don’t feel like writing about how stressed I am about C. taking my dog while I’m on ...

---

Prompt: What is something you’re weirdly good at without having had formal training or much practice? I dunno. What comes naturally or easily to me? It’s probably something I should do more of: c...

---

Prompt: National Donut Day! Do you like donuts? What’s your favorite? I mean, yeah. I actually love a nice cinnamon sugar donut or those little powdered mini donuts. I went to an event a couple o...

You can find the NoJoMo prompts here! Prompt: If you could go back in time and visit one event in history, where would you go and why? I don’t know that I’d want to visit a historical site or som...

You can find the NoJoMo prompts here. Prompt: It’s Friday! What are your plans for the weekend? Ah yes, Friday. The end of Week #3 at The Cool Cat Company. I swear, as structured as I feel like ...

---

You can find the prompts here. What are your goals for this month? One of my goals every November is to write an entry a day. That's been a given for several years now since the OD days. I mean,...

---

Well hello there! It’s that time of year…the entry-a-day time of year! I rarely use the prompts, but maybe I’ll try this year. Today’s prompt from our dear fellow PBer [kitkat] is: November 1 -...

First payday of this new job! Grateful to be gainfully employed again! I’m starting to get a real feel for this gig. It’s going to be interesting because my boss truly is a Nazi in every single w...

The birthday was Thursday. Here’s what happened the rest of the weekend: Friday: Half-ass worked all day. I honestly can’t remember much of what I did, if I did anything at my new job. Isn’t that...

On Thursday, I woke up to my fifty-sixth birthday. I gave a little kiss to the dog (she had been at the foot of the bed, sound asleep), and I said, “It’s my birthday!” with a hint of enthusiasm t...

New Job: Tomorrow morning starts Week #2 at Cool Cat Company. I have a big meeting with the founder in the morning, which will require me to spend the first hour just getting my shit together as ...

So far so good…but I don’t even have an email set up yet, so I’m really just playing around and learning the product categories. I like it right now, but I know the storm is coming. I’m bracing m...

---

Today is my second day at my new job and I’m sitting outside on the patio of a Starbucks while several other remote workers have meetings around me. It’s a little weird being two time zones away ...

---

Well guys, I start my next job tomorrow. Fully remote, and I was able to negotiate $5K more annually, which still doesn’t cover my portion of the medical insurance premiums, but I’m making due un...

Ughhhh. Why is negotiating for a job so stressful?! In a series of stressful events, I’ve not only gotten an offer from the company I’ve been talking with (let’s call them The Cool Cat Company, o...

---

Yesterday I had mohs surgery on my shoulder. That nasty ol’ squamous cell bugger had gotten bigger and crustier since the original derm did the biopsy. I can’t believe how fast a fucking skin can...

---

Monday, October 2nd: Had what would have been my 3rd or 4th interview with a company I’ve been talking with for a while. It’s a lot of talk, talk, talk, and finally I talked with the guy who’d be...
