Mom + Dad in These Foolish Things
Back from my quick Christmas run to see my family and some friends. I’ll expound more on this later, but my most pressing issue right now is the health and well-being of my mom and dad. I can’t ...
On Xmas Eve and Starting Anew in These Foolish Things
So much to write, but I need to prepare for my three-hour drive to the fam’s for Christmas. It’s been such a melancholy year. I am SO looking forward to 2024 and what that actually means. I swea...
10 Things About WFH* in These Foolish Things
Boring work stuff ahead. You’ve been warned. Working from home is new to me and it’s taking me a while to get used to it, but here’s what I’ve found is happening for me so far: I started this r...
10 Big-ish Things in These Foolish Things
The meeting with the Cool Cat Company’s Head Cat went about as I expected. He’s a diva, and that’s okay…he gets to be a diva because he owns the company and we do what he says. Even when he tel...
I'm Ready...Now Where Are You? in These Foolish Things
I spent a good portion of my weekend and today prepping for my new company’s (Cool Cat Company) founder to be here IN my apartment this week for development meetings. He flew in today and was to ...
This Season in These Foolish Things
It’s Christmastime. The weather’s getting cooler (at least at night it is), and I have no one to snuggle. I’m frustrated as hell and need to change that. So what if I’m a little chunky right now....
NJM23 - Entry #30 in These Foolish Things
Here it is. The last NoJoMo entry of 2023. I am on FaceTime with [Athena] and we are watching the Golden Bachelor finale. Martini is by my side. It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for! And n...
NJM23 - Entry #29 in These Foolish Things
Today’s prompt: Wild Wednesday - what’s the wildest thing you’ve done in your life? Hmmmm. This has me thinking maybe of the Top 10 Wildest Experiences of my Life. I won’t give you the gory detai...
NJM23 - Entry #28 in These Foolish Things
What?! November’s almost over? Can’t be. I’m antsy. I haven’t been out of my neighborhood since I got back from my Thanksgiving weekend on Sunday. I’ve stayed inside the apartment for two straig...
NJM23 - Entry #27 in These Foolish Things
I stopped following the prompts many days ago, but I remembered this prompt (that I didn’t follow at the time) and I think I’ll use it tonight because I followed my perfect morning routine this m...
NJM23 - Entry #26 in These Foolish Things
Finally home. Traffic was a bitch - just like we knew it would be on the busiest travel day of the year in the United States. It took five hours to make the drive home. It normally takes three. I...
NJM23 - Entry #25 in These Foolish Things
At Best Bud’s place. I’m staying in her guest bedroom, which is lovely. She’s made her son’s bedroom into a guest bedroom as well now that he’s at university, but I opted for the guest bedroom. ...
NJM23 - Entry #24 in These Foolish Things
DAT = Day After Thanksgiving (the business term retailers use now instead of Black Friday). Did you know this? My boss doesn’t know anything about DAT. He doesn’t know anything about anything re...
NJM23 - Entry #23 in These Foolish Things
Greetings from my brother’s bedroom (he’s not in here with me, he’s just letting me stay in this room for two nights over the Thanksgiving holiday). He normally doesn’t sleep in the same bedroom ...
NJM23 - Entry #22 in These Foolish Things
Hi. Just me over here trying to pack for my trip to visit the fam and my old city to see friends. I’m about to have to put on my bubble suit so that I can bear to hang out and stay with my bro an...
NJM23 - Entry #21 in These Foolish Things
I think I’m starting to come around to this WFH stuff. Here’s what I did today: Woke at 5:00 and worked out at 5:45 (little snooze action in between) Showered and put on an animal print skirt w...
NJM23 - Entry #20 in These Foolish Things
Today was a beautiful day. I took the dog on three good walks and never even got the car out of the garage. The things you find out while working from home - I found out both my upstairs AND my ...
NJM23 - Entry #19 in These Foolish Things
Happy Sunday Evening. So, the binge watching of The Morning Show got super confusing. I’m not giving any spoilers with this, but I’m wondering how many of you who watched Season 3 thought that th...
NJM23 - Entry #18 in These Foolish Things
Well hello there! It’s Saturday evening and I’m spending tonight binge watching The Morning Show, messaging a couple of Bumble prospects, and writing an entry. How exciting. So yesterday, when I...
NJM23 - Entry #17 in These Foolish Things
I think this happens once every year during NJM, but there comes a day when I just don’t have an entry in me, and today happens to be that day. I hit a wall. Sorry. I’ll see you tomorrow and I lo...
NJM23 - Entry #16 in These Foolish Things
Sixteen days into NoJoMo. I just watched The Golden Bachelor with [Athena] on FaceTime. It was the Fantasy Suite week and OH MY GOD did Gerry put himself into a pickle! Are you watching this? I’m...
NJM23 - Entry #15 in These Foolish Things
Not much to say today. I stayed out too late last night (which wasn’t even that late, but I guess I just can’t hang anymore), so I had a little trouble getting up this morning. I have a presenta...
NJM23 - Entry #14 in These Foolish Things
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...
NJM23 - Entry #13 in These Foolish Things
…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...
NJM23 - Entry #12 in These Foolish Things
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...
