Funemployment, Week 2 in These Foolish Things
Well, here I am on a Friday, deep into unemployment! Is it bad that I’m enjoying it for the most part? Well, I’m enjoying not going into that effing office (save for the couple of friends I loved...
Old and Boring Now. in These Foolish Things
Good Saturday evening. I’m thinking about going to bed pretty soon so I can wake up early since we’re losing an hour overnight. Ugh. I hate these time switches. They screw me up. Anyway, tomorro...
Funemployment, Week 1 in These Foolish Things
Well, it’s Friday. No going to the office for a whole week and what’s going on? It’s funny. This week was National Sales Meeting (NSM) for my former company. I feel a couple of ways about that...

Before We Celebrate... in These Foolish Things

Oh Solo Mio* in These Foolish Things
Today I just let things slide with Cunty Support Girl because it was taking up too much of my brain space and affecting my heart space, and I don’t like that at all. Sadly, I did have a discus...
How The Grinch Stole My Chill in These Foolish Things
See if I can get an entry in really quickly. My fucking support person is being a super cunt today (and I haaaate the “c word” so much, but that’s the only word I can use to describe her today). ...
In Good Hands in These Foolish Things

Snow Balls in These Foolish Things

Wordle! in These Foolish Things
Thursday morning at the office. It’s the first morning all week where I haven’t had a fire drill of some sort, so I’m slowly easing myself into the workday. Are you playing Wordle? Seems like e...

Sneak Peek! in These Foolish Things
Hello! It’s Tuesday. My oncology appointment isn’t until tomorrow, but the oncology nurse called me earlier to see if I could have a virtual appointment instead of an in-person appointment. I s...
10 Things in These Foolish Things
Oh my GOD I can’t seem to get anything done at work besides constant CYA. At this point, I’ve decided that I need to keep all records neatly filed in multiple folders so that I don’t have to ta...
Recapping the Scramble in These Foolish Things
Good Saturday morning! Cold outside, so I’m cuddled in bed with the dog under the covers with me and we’re waiting on sunrise to take the quickest walk and then my beloved Saturday morning Target...
TV Adds 10 Pounds in These Foolish Things
Well, I was stressed last night when I got home from work because I’d taken a ½ day PTO to get medical stuff done yesterday and had SO much left to do by the end of the day. One of the extra spec...
The Little Things (and Scans) in These Foolish Things

Tossing 2021 in the Trash in These Foolish Things

Finding a Fit in These Foolish Things
Hello. I’m sitting here at the office. I thought we were going to get out early before our NYE vacation, but it appears we are not. I’m half doing a little bit of work to prep for the insanity t...
