Settling In at The Place! in These Foolish Things
I’m still pretty buried in boxes, but now some of them are unpacked and there’s just stuff everywhere! Luckily, the weather here is supposed to be disastrous until at least Thursday, so I’m hunke...
Balls Deep in Boxes in These Foolish Things
So the move happened, and it actually went quite well! I’d asked the moving company to please send the same team who’d packed me up and took my things to storage. This team was lead by a very th...
Heading Out in These Foolish Things
After a pretty full few days of visiting friends and family and checking things off my lists, I’m going to be heading out today. I have been staying at the one and only [Athena]’s place and I’m a...
Before I Go in These Foolish Things
Greetings from…[Athena]’s place! I’m still in the in-between state of moving, but [Athena] offered me her place (she’s not here - she’s in Alabama with her man at her beach condo) until the mover...
The In-Between in These Foolish Things
Greetings from my hotel room back in [my old city]. I’m trying to tie up loose ends here, do my 3-month doctor visits and see as many people as I can before I leave. It’s a weird feeling. The ma...
Found a Place in These Foolish Things
Ok, y’all. I found a place. It’s not the Treehouse, but nothing’s going to be that same space - and it shouldn’t be, you know? It’s a long story, but I spent pretty much ALL week searching for so...
Lookies in These Foolish Things
I’m on a mission this week to find the next place to live. Staying in Airbnbs. I’ve been staying in a garage apartment the last couple of days in this super cool neighborhood. The weather’s been...
Homeless in These Foolish Things
Time for a super quick update from the road! Where did I last leave off? I think I’m gonna have to bullet this bitch. Remember my apartment flooded on Christmas Eve. I saw that as a clear sign...
January 1, 2023 in These Foolish Things
Popping on just to get an entry in on the first of January. Maybe I can come back to this habit like I do every November? I have SO MUCH to tell you, but once again, I am exhausted just because I...
Cliffhangers in These Foolish Things
I’m sorry - I feel like I’m leaving everyone hanging with these bits and pieces of info on my current situation here and there, but I have to tell you that this is absolutely freaking STRESSFUL d...
More Christmas Surprises! in These Foolish Things
Ugh. The flood saga continues (see previous entry), but it also feels like old news. Yes, the Treehouse is a shambles - there are power fans and dehumidifiers throughout my whole place, and holes...
Christmas Eve Surprises! in These Foolish Things
Regardless of my previous entry - the one where I accidentally gave away a $300 hat and felt like a turd - I felt incredibly festive going to work on Christmas Eve. I was working the 9:00am - 3:3...
Tits The Season in These Foolish Things
The title of this entry is something I saw on a t-shirt of one of the customers walking through the retail store where I’m working the holiday season. It was a perfect shirt to be wearing the oth...
Lovely's Birthmas in the Woods in These Foolish Things
Lovely’s birthday falls very close to Christmas, so she has a party every year and calls it her Birthmas. It’s always a big shindig at her house and lots and lots of people come and there is tons...
Updates on Various in These Foolish Things
Mom and Dad’s Covid: They are better. So much so that they went to my niece’s Christmas music show at her school last night. My niece barely had any symptoms and her school told her she could com...
Updates on the 'Vid in These Foolish Things
Dad got it. Two days later, Mom tested positive. Today my niece tested positive, making my dad bawl his big ol’ heart out because she’ll be missing her school concert and other Christmas-y kid ...
The Gift that Keeps on Giving in These Foolish Things
My sweet dad got the covid. It makes me feel so bad because we have spent YEARS trying to protect the patriarch of my family from the fucking ‘vid and the first time he and mom go to do something...
This One Broke Me in These Foolish Things
Maybe getting on here to type out an entry is a habit now after doing it all of November? I’m down again. Got the blues something awful. I was keeping something to myself until I’d manifested it ...
NJM #30 - Puppy Parade in These Foolish Things
The best thing about work today: the dogs. Wednesdays are pet-friendly days at the Instagrammable set-up display two doors down in the mall. Yes, the display that has a $50 entry fee. And OH! Th...
NJM #29 - Almost there. in These Foolish Things
I can’t believe this month is almost over! I always love writing an entry a day, but I sometimes feel at a loss for words. Today I had the day off and it was an unseasonably warm day. I looovved ...
NJM #28 - Fluffing in These Foolish Things
It was a good day. I didn’t have to work until 1:30 this afternoon, so I slept in a little and got a very, very good walk in the sunshine with Martini this morning. Then to the grocery store wher...
NJM #27 - My Big Mouth in These Foolish Things
Worked from 11-5:30 today. It was fine-ish. But it’s already getting old. Is it Christmas yet? I’m still making some rookie mistakes and Dick Manager is still barking in my ear piece, but I’m kin...
NJM #26 - It's Coming in These Foolish Things
I’m tired of writing about retail. Plus, I’m just plain tired. I didn’t sleep well last night and then worked on my feet for 8 full hours. But that’s all I’m going to write about today’s work stu...
NJM #25 - Black Friday in These Foolish Things
I made it through. It wasn’t all that brutal from a customer standpoint, but one of the managers was an absolute DICK to me on the freaking walkie-talkie! She kept giving me shit about everything...
NJM #24 - Thanksgiving in These Foolish Things
Well shiiiiit, how y’all doin? (I miss Leslie Jordan 😢) It’s Thanksgiving and my internet’s down. I think I get a hall pass from tapping an entry out on my phone, yes? It was a good day, aside ...
