Of Work and Dreams and Cars and Rings in These Foolish Things
Monday. Back at work today after a lovely, lovely weekend. I didn’t sleep well and had a really hard time waking up this morning. Didn’t do my workout, and I’m pissed at myself for that becaus...
Springtime Party in These Foolish Things
What fun! I’m so happy I had that party last night. It seemed to be just what the doctor ordered. The great thing was that I got to see several friends I hadn’t seen in a long, long time…all in...
April 2 in These Foolish Things
I wrote this on my Facebook wall: *Prohibition has ended! What did I learn from a month of no alcohol? - I didn’t go out much - I didn’t win friends - I didn’t lose we...
March 31 in These Foolish Things
I missed squeaking in my LAST entry of my All-Write and No-Drink Month! Damn. Yesterday was a 7. But the sex made it a 9. I am free to drink now, but not sure that I want to. Must cancel my date...
March 30 in These Foolish Things
Today was a 5. Neutral. Work sucked, but everything else was okay, I guess. Tomorrow is my last day of self-imposed sobriety. I still haven’t pulled the trigger on canceling with SB on Wednesd...
March 29 in These Foolish Things
Home stretch with the drinking moratorium. Got up today and went on a long, long walk. Such a long walk that the puppy had to be carried home! Poor thing…that walk just wore her out. I was...
March 28 in These Foolish Things
Backdating because I forgot to write yesterday! Well, I didn’t really forget. I was out. I started the day with a dog training session at the park with the pup (I actually skipped boot camp to...
March 27* in These Foolish Things
Day 27 - a suck of a day. Drama at work. I was a tattletale on the consultant today, and I immediately regretted it. But…BUT the fucker is doing all kinds of stuff behind my back and I can’t do...
March 26 in These Foolish Things
26 days in. I’ve written every day in March, and I like it! I’ve liked not drinking as well. I wake up feeling clear and good, for the most part. And while I thought it would be hard and I’d ...
March 25 in These Foolish Things
25 days dry. But my dog isn’t faring so well. Today my puppy drank some of my coffee when I walked away from my desk. It was a latte. I should know better than to walk away with anything left ...
March 24 in These Foolish Things
I’m going to start this entry at work because I’m going out with my friend who’s in town for work tonight. We’re going to have sushi at my fave place. Too bad I’m not drinking or we would do it...
March 23 in These Foolish Things
Today was a 6.5. 23 days no booze. I caved and texted the Bulldog, telling him that I missed him. He texted back exactly NINE hours and 45 minutes later. He didn’t say he missed me back, so ...
March 22* in These Foolish Things
Well, I just slammed my finger in the car door, so we’ll see how this entry goes. Hurts like a motherfucker. Interesting day. Started out really blue, of course. And I feel like I’m ending on ...
March 21 in These Foolish Things
It’s 8:30 on a Saturday night. I’m about to go to bed. This is pitiful. This morning I had to move my car by 7AM in order to avoid a parking ticket. I got up and dressed and took the dog out a...
March 20 in These Foolish Things
20 days, no booze. Today has been a hard one. I would like a drink right now. A big dose of medicine to soothe my ache. But I won’t because I promised myself. It’s funny how being good to my...
March 19 in These Foolish Things
Too tired to write, really. I had dinner with the Bulldog. I ended up saying I’m out and that I can’t do it anymore after feeling like an utter fool. He has no capacity for feeling good about a...
March 18 in These Foolish Things
Here’s a Mini-RAD for you: Name: let’s call him Low Talker (LT for short) Age: 52 Occupation: Real Estate Developer We Met: Well, we started texting on Tinder a few days ago, and the next thi...
March 17 in These Foolish Things
St. Patrick’s Day. I wore a brilliant blue dress with a bright green chain print on it. It was spectacular! And it was also boob-tacular because it was a wrap dress (that fell pretty low) and I...
March 16 in These Foolish Things
Rush, rush, rush was the name of the game today. Was slammed at work after essentially being out of the office for two weeks. I didn’t get as much done as I wanted. Luckily, bought myself a da...
March 15* in These Foolish Things
15 days no alcohol. Halfway through the month. All’s well on that front. I spent a good chunk of today walking, and that was fantastic. I left the Bulldog’s place pretty early. I actually tol...
March 14 in These Foolish Things
I am late in writing this. It’s actually the morning of March 15 now, but I was here in spirit, just typing away while I was doing other things. Ahem I’ll give March 14 a 7. After sleeping for ...
March 13 in These Foolish Things
Friday the Thirteenth. It’s early on a Friday night and I’m tucking my pup and myself into bed. It’s been a long-ass week. Spent the whole week in non-stop meetings, and I do mean non-stop…fro...
March 12 in These Foolish Things
Day 12, no drinking. I’d love a glass of champagne right about now. The Bulldog is absolutely ridiculous and I don’t think I can do this anymore. I sent him two texts today. The first one to...
March 11 in These Foolish Things
Man, what a weird day. Started off strange as I was driving in to work at 7:30AM. I saw that my mom was calling. Okay, they never get up that early, so I knew it was some kind of urgent phone c...
March 10 in These Foolish Things
At the end of the day, I’ll give it an 8.5. Sort of lying in bed, half sitting up, playing fetch with the puppy. This is the life. I just had a wonderful, wonderful dinner with the Bulldog. Be...
