Trees Don't Bloom in the Winter*** in These Foolish Things
Well, how did I forget? If I remember correctly, the problem with the Tree was that he couldn’t/wouldn’t take root, make a commitment…or even a simple plan. And when he was able to actually mak...

Back to Work in These Foolish Things
…for just three days this week - not so bad. Plus, it’s super quiet here and should be all three days. Most folks took this week off, making for an 11-day vacation. I decided to “cover” for th...
Christmas Ten in These Foolish Things
Didn’t sleep hardly a wink last night (Christmas Eve) at my parents’ house. Not because of anticipation, but because I feel like their neighborhood is not really all that safe anymore. Sure, ...
Where's My Happy Medium? in These Foolish Things
I had the interview with the EVP today. I’m not quite qualified, but the EVP was so gracious about me coming and talking with him. He thanked me several times and said some really nice things, ...

Seasonal Shenanigans in These Foolish Things
Ugh. I’m now working on Day 2 of the Colossal Hangover of 2016. Wow. I can’t believe how hard this hit me. I guess I was really looking forward to a blowout. I don’t think I explained the sit...

Hi Everyone! It’s been nice to take a tiny break from writing an entry a day. I do like doing that, but I think I just start feeling obligated to write (by my own doing, of course) and then the...
11.30 The End... in These Foolish Things
…of November anyway. Nearly 8:30 and my dog is already passed out in bed. She went to daycare today, so I think/hope she’s just worn out, but I don’t know that I’ve ever seen her this tired. Sh...
11.29 Home Stretch in These Foolish Things
Almost done with this bloody month. Pun intended. So tired of having a monthly time. It’s still like clockwork. I don’t know what to even think about it anymore…just a nuisance since I’m not ...
11.28 Monday Had to Come in These Foolish Things
Yeah, was a big, fat bummer going into work today, but the dog was happy and that always makes me happy. You guys, I get to take my dog to work and she expresses SO MUCH JOY when we get to the o...

Another decent day. Got some shit done and even got another mid-day nap in. Wish the days could all be so mellow…but maybe with a little bit of spice added in there? ;) Finished cleaning up the...
