I’m back on the front page, so I wanted to add a bit of a trigger warning for this entry. Don’t click if speaking medically about one’s elderly parents’ privates skeeves you out. . . . . . . . ...


Good morning, friends! Another arctic morning. I’ve done all of my morning routine, taken the dog out to potty, and now working (mostly). It’s going to warm up this afternoon and I’m looking fo...


Oh, the comments about how to fix, cut, roast, and enjoy butternut squash! THANK YOU! I wasn’t even going to mention the tidbit about my soup because I thought perhaps it was a boring read, but ...


I’m easing into the day this morning, enjoying my coffee and reading a few entries. I’ll do my workout in a bit, shower, and then figure out how many layers I need to put on in order to stay war...


Is it weird that I’m so excited about nesting for the next few days? We are getting the arctic blast that a good portion of the country is getting, and I have plans to stay inside (except for do...


Just out of a long, long strategy meeting where I basically presented my ideas for what I’m going to be doing with the company for the next two years. My bosses were thrilled with what I’d put t...


Okay, hi! I haven’t felt like writing in the last couple of days, and now that I let myself fall back to sleep this morning and it’s thrown my morning routine off, I feel like writing. Nothing i...


Guess I missed a day yesterday. Whoopsie. At least writing an entry a day isn’t part of my challenge. Maybe it should be?? Anyway. I’m nesting while working. It’s cold here and we are supposed ...


(continued from last entry) More things I have been wanting to write about and need to circle back on: The Disaster Hotel: Around mid-October last year (I think?), I got an email from one of t...


Hah. Welcome back to work, everyone! Today’s the day we all circle back from all that shit we left undone last year. I love all the memes that have been going around, but I’m also guilty of doin...


OK. I’m tired of writing about my brother now. Let’s move on, shall we? It’s Sunday night and tomorrow things go back to “normal” after the holidays. There’s going to be a lot to do on the work...


It’s the end of the day on Saturday. I got up outrageously early, did my workout, dropped the dog at daycare and drove 3.5 hours to the big flea market before I drove the 30 minutes to my parent...


Hey! Did you know that it’s actually Friday today? I know that our clocks get all messed up during the holidays. Most people are still on vacation and won’t get back to business until Monday. Th...


Good morning! I’m sorta working today and sorta not. I only had one meeting scheduled for today and that person asked if we could cancel, so I said yes. And voila! No meetings for today, but I...


Happy New Year! Happy 2025! Happy to wake up to a fresh new year. Saddened to wake up to the news of the truck barreling through the streets shooting in New Orleans. Man, what a dark shadow t...

2024 In Review in These Foolish Things

It’s that time again - the annual year in review entry! I’ve spent a little bit of time going through my calendar, my Prosebox, and my photos on my phone. Here are the highlights of what happene...


It feels weird to call it my Soberversary because I don’t feel like I was an alcoholic. But maybe I was? In a way? I mean, I did use alcohol as a means to cope and escape. It was something muc...

Back Home Again in These Foolish Things

I’ve been back home from my Christmas festivities with the fam for a couple of days now. I left mom and dad’s early because I ended up not needing to spend the extra night in my brother’s gross ...


Merry Christmas - ha, that title, huh? Well, as a colon cancer survivor, I can tell you that the Christmas morning dumps are honestly a thing of beauty. And I spent the night of Christmas Eve a...


Greetings from my brother’s lair. It’s actually the “guest bedroom” at my bro and SIL’s house (formerly my parents house), but since my bro and SIL don’t like sleeping in the same bedroom, my ...


It’s the longest night of the year. Do you know what that means? We are celebrating the daylight getting longer every day from now until the Summer Solstice. Yay! As a Scorpio with Virgo risin...

Pre-Parties in These Foolish Things

Greetings from a hotel room in my former city. I took some PTO days and I’ve been here for a couple of days already and need to update on all things going on lately. There are two parties hap...

Lazy Saturday in These Foolish Things

It’s Saturday. It’s already after 10am and I haven’t even gotten out of my jammies. I haven’t even taken the dog for her morning walk! Poor thing! Update: It’s now 11:00am and I finally took Ma...

Hi December! in These Foolish Things

I re-posted a little quote on Instagram that said, “Hi December! You’re the last one, so be the best one.” So far it’s been a good December. The Diary Researchers have come and gone and have ...


NoJoMo 2024 Recap! November started with the Girls Halloween Weekend, which was super fun and so good to have my friends here for a few days. We did a lot of touristy and girlfriend-y thing...
