NJM18 - 10: On Nailing and Failing in These Foolish Things
Nothing incredibly exciting to report for today except that I did a 1.5 hour workout this morning instead of my usual hour and it just about killed me. Of course, everyone says you get used to i...
NJM18 - 9: Finally Friday in These Foolish Things
Good Friday morning. I’m still drinking my coffee and getting warmed up, though I’ve been at the office for a little while. Mornings getting colder - winter is on it’s way! I don’t have a whole ...
NJM18 - 8: A Smattering of Updates in These Foolish Things

NJM18 - 7: Ball's In Your Court in These Foolish Things
Yeah, you guys. I’ve felt a shift since yesterday. I think the reality of New Years Eve in NYC actually happening hit The Scot in some way after I booked the room. I’m thinking he’s like, whoa. ...

NJM18 - 5: On Fresh Starts - Is This How They Start? in These Foolish Things
Not much to say today. It was Monday. Is Monday. Kind of a shit day…or really, more of a blah day…starting with the 4:30am workout. I couldn’t seem to get it going today. But of course I did. I...
NJM18 - 4: Extra Hour to Daydream in These Foolish Things
Got an extra hour of sleep this morning but it sure didn’t feel like it. The event last night was kind of a bust. I was absolutely shocked that it was so much different than years past. I mean...
NJM18 - 3: Buck's Fizz in These Foolish Things
Glorious Saturday! The weather is absolutely stunning and I’ve had a fantastic morning and afternoon so far. Began the day with a FaceTime with The Scot. I swear to you, I never stop laughing ...

NJM18-1: Taking Action in These Foolish Things
First day of NoJoMo! I’m off and running. Thanks for the thoughts about The Scot and The Texts. I booked my flight for NYC last night. And then I sent this text to the Scot: ”Let’s make this ...
Practicing in These Foolish Things
I suppose I might as well start practicing for NoJoMo. I do this every year and I really love doing it. It makes me want to write and write and write what’s on my mind. In fact, I don’t know wh...

What do you make of this? in These Foolish Things
CEO came to my office first thing this morning to ask me what I need from her to stay with the company as far as making sure I gain the skills needed for this “new” position I’ve temporarily been...
Ugly. * in These Foolish Things
Big layoffs at work today. It’s just the start. I didn’t get fired, but I got put on a PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) that’s conditional for 45 days! They are changing my role…but it’s not ...
More Scot, Please! in These Foolish Things
Things with The Scot are pretty amazing, if you consider a texting and FaceTime relationship valid…which, you guys overwhelmingly seem to! I was actually surprised at all of the positive comment...
Let's Talk Scot! in These Foolish Things
Okay, okay!!! I’m going to tell you about The Scot before it gets too late and maybe too weird (if it isn’t already) to write about it without being embarrassed or heartbroken. It’s likely to b...

The Last of Scotland (for now); Back to London in These Foolish Things
Continuing my long, drawn out story of my trip in September… September 14th: Woke late-ish (for me) in the morning. My train back to London wasn’t until 12:30, which meant I had a nice, lazy mo...

Aftermath in These Foolish Things
Yeah, y’all. Thank you for the notes regarding yesterday’s weirdness about my fling hurting my feelings. They helped me tremendously. I was in a pretty shitty place for a while. I had to leav...
