Devil Cats and CAT Scans in These Foolish Things
Holy cow, I’m behind in my writing! I didn’t write all weekend, did I? And it’s already Tuesday. Today I go get another CT-Angiogram. I’m at the office, but I’m leaving at 11am so I can eat som...
End of an Era/Workweek in These Foolish Things
Easy E. is gone. I went to her lunch. I hugged her goodbye. Goldilocks cried, but I didn’t because I am a cold-hearted bitch, but you know what? I just didn’t have that kind of relationship wit...
Before Sleep in These Foolish Things
Worked very, very hard today. If this had been a month ago I wouldn’t have been able to handle it. Things appear to be going back to “pre-dissection” or close to it…though I want to make sure th...
Today... in These Foolish Things
… I stepped on the scale and it read 125. I haven’t seen this number since the old EXMS days, and that’s the only reason I’m telling you outright what that number is! That was 2008. I actually...
RAD: Rodeo Clown in These Foolish Things
Here it is, folks! The date with the dick pic sender! Name: Rodeo Clown Introduction Platform: Bumble. We matched over a year ago. We have a history of texting until he sent me a dick pic an...
Quick and Dirty* in These Foolish Things

The Updates! in These Foolish Things
The Update on Easy E: Read yesterday’s entry if you haven’t yet - the backstory is there. I was still so upset by the end of the day yesterday that I told my mom about it on our nightly phone ...
Hurt Feelings in These Foolish Things
God. This morning started out lovely with a leisurely time getting ready for work and a fun commute in the sunshine with the top down and the music blaring. It was one of those carefree mornin...
Forever in These Foolish Things
Sometimes the days when I’m confident that I’ve recovered become the scariest. Because those are the days when a sudden and stabbing headache hits and I don’t know why. So of course, the panic ...
Making a List and Checking Things Off! in These Foolish Things
Monday, Monday…getting into the swing of this week at the office and about to take a lunch break so I thought I’d fill up a tiny bit of free time with at least part of an entry. Already thinking ...
I Can't in These Foolish Things
Guys. I don’t think I can get a decent entry out today. I have been SO freaking busy living life and now I’m exhausted! Just home from a lovely dinner with [Athena] and Karl, walked the dog, m...
It Occurs to Me... in These Foolish Things
…as I’m’ sitting in my bed on a Saturday night watching the cutest movie that I haven’t written an entry today. Last night I had my FaceTime date with the guy who lives three hours away. I’m not...
Pre-Weekend Anticipation! in These Foolish Things
End of the workday and once again, like clockwork, I find myself unable to concentrate on computer work BS after 3:30. Of course, I have figured out a way (if I’m not in a meeting) to do constru...
The Reason(s) in These Foolish Things
I started an entry earlier so I could use up some nervous energy here at the office and I just deleted it because I couldn’t finish my thoughts. Now I’m back and it’s been another super busy day ...
Back to Reality in These Foolish Things
Today was one of those days that felt like a “pre-injury” day: work stresses with customer meetings and presentations, Boss riding me for statuses of all projects, grumpy workmates, chatty workm...
Quick Sidetrack to Get On Track in These Foolish Things
Happy Tuesday! I’m having trouble concentrating at work today. I’m not 100% sure, but it could be because I doubled my blood pressure meds at the instruction of my new doctor. I dunno. Later…...
Medical Update Monday in These Foolish Things
Doc appointment with Dr. Jeff (my friend) went really well. We talked about the injury and my last scans I had and how the dissecting aneurysm is still there but right now it’s somewhat small - s...
Shelfscaping! in These Foolish Things
The cleaning frenzy continued today. I did some more decluttering of some storage boxes that I’d stowed under the console tables in my hallway (needed NONE of that stuff!) and I rearranged a bun...
Friday Night Float! in These Foolish Things
Went to Marci’s last night to do our annual Float N’ Gloat (haha - I just made that up!). This is where I go to her house where we sit in her back yard and float her pool and catch up all night ...
RAD: The Showoff in These Foolish Things
In an effort to keep my options open and stop obsessing about the Doc, I agreed to go on a date with this dude last Saturday. Name: The Showoff Introduction Platform: Hinge. This was my seco...
4th of July in These Foolish Things
Ooops. I realize that I’m supposed to do a Rate-a-Date today (in my mind that was going to be the entry I write today), but I don’t feel like it. It’s somewhere around 8:30 on the 4th of July ...
Early July Updates on Various in These Foolish Things
Happy July 3rd! Three days in a row! Here are a few more updates I’ve been meaning to write about. Scandals Everywhere! So. In addition to The Poop Scandal at work, there’s also The Boss Sc...
Finally! The Poop Scandal in These Foolish Things
I think this happened like two weeks ago now and I feel like it’s going to be anticlimactic, but there’s been a mad pooper on the loose in my office! I heard from a very reliable source of juicy...
A Ghost Returns! in These Foolish Things
Happy July (already!!)! I keep not writing about the Poop Scandal and other stuff, but now life keeps happening. Maybe I’ll dedicate July to a sort of NoJoMo (JuJoMo?!) and try to get a little e...
IMPLOSION! in These Foolish Things
I’m sitting at a coffee shop about a mile from my apartment waiting for the building across the street from my place to implode! The building’s management has been sending us information over t...
