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, ...
Rest of the Weekend in These Foolish Things
So, Saturday was pretty fun. I did end up sleeping heavily, waking late, still feeling hungover from Wednesday night. That’s 3 days of hangover. Not good. I thought maybe walking it off would ...
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...
All or Nothing in These Foolish Things
Just a quick drive-by and I’ll fill in the details later, but here’s another example of me being very all or nothing… I went out last night with my friend and co-worker, C. She’s the one who tra...
Tongue Out Tuesday in These Foolish Things
I don’t know why that’s my title, but it is. Usually, this involves pets on Instagram, right? But I guess instead I’m sticking my virtual tongue out at you. Lovingly, of course. So, remember I...
Updates on Various - December, 2016 in These Foolish Things
I’m already writing 2017 dates on a lot of documents, and I almost did that in the title, but I figured I should update on the various goings on… Work: Strange. We’re moving in new directions a...
12.4 The Search in These Foolish Things
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...
11.27 Sunday Schmunday in These Foolish Things
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...
11.26 Saturday Doings in These Foolish Things
Today was a pretty decent day. Got up and started clearing out my little storage space so that I could get my Christmas decorations out. Turned into a massive project that’s still not quite done...
11.25 Full of Tryptophan and Jealousy in These Foolish Things
Yes. Full of the Food Lude. Had a great time at my folks’ place and now I’m back to my downtown apartment. All is calm. All is bright. But I’m cold! It’s not even really cold here, and I am ...
11.24 Mexican Turkey Day in These Foolish Things
Happy Thanksgiving! I’m at my parents’ place at the lake and about to go night-night. It’s been a day. Started at 5am with my workout and then did a 5k Turkey Trot (though I walked with the do...

Happy Hour tonight. It was impromptu and it was very welcome. Met my old counterpart, Ryan and another friend from work out at a bar close to my apartment after I picked up the dog from daycar...
11.22 Fell Asleep…Just That Exciting in These Foolish Things
I crawled into bed at a little after 8 to do my usual cruising the internet and writing of my November entry-a-day. I ended up in the bed in such a way that the dog lay down on my chest (she’s t...
11.21 Wine, Women and Song in These Foolish Things
Feeling a little bit better today, even though it’s Monday. Getting over the shock and awe of yesterday’s discovery. If you don’t know, go back one entry. Went to the opera yesterday with my fri...
11.20 Brutal in These Foolish Things
This was me last night after going down an online rabbit hole, searching for The Bulldog. It’s a long story, but the BD has a circle of unbelievably amazing friends, including a couple of former...
11.19 Not Much. in These Foolish Things
Saturday. Cold front blew through this morning. It was a nice switch and change of pace, but the heat is now on in my apartment and I feel very bundled up. Drank coffee this morning as I slowly...
11.18 Fried Day in These Foolish Things
I’m so over this week. I’m done, done, done. Boss got promoted to Executive Vice President today, but he’s been playing that role for months now. I just don’t like his smarmy ways - he’s supe...

Feeling better today for a few reasons. Well, I should back up. After I went to bed last night at 8:30, I woke up at midnight and couldn’t get back to sleep. A million thoughts were swirling...
11.16 Sliding Through November in These Foolish Things
On the back side of November now. Damn. How does time fly so quickly? Probably because I’m so crazed at work now that there’s no time to even figure out what day it is! I’m obsessed with weig...
11.15 Ultra Peaceful Protest in These Foolish Things
Tonight, Athena and I had planned to go to a rally downtown close to my place. It was a local Pantsuit Nation group that has formed since the election (one week ago today, what a strange feeling...

Well, look at this. The month is almost half over! And uhhhhhgggg, the month is almost half over. I’m back on the wagon with the diet and working out. I don’t know if I’m allowed to say that w...
