Guys, prepping for a garage sale is NOT. FUN. AT. ALL. I’m really glad I went did that yesterday because there’s no way my parents would have been able to pull all that together. The only thing t...

I was missing a few of my former work colleagues, and it was supposed to be a beautiful evening, so I invited a couple of the ol’ workmates to a happy hour. The plan was, I’d come close to the of...

Here are some bullets since my mind has been jumbled a bit lately: Holy schnit, did I get tooooo caffeinated yesterday or what? Now that I’m over the Covid bivalent booster, I went to brunch ye...

Crawling out of my skin a bit. On Wednesday I got the new bivalent Covid vaccine. All of my previous vaccines had been Pfizer and had zero side effects, but this one was Moderna and I wondered if...

Ugh. So lazy today. I woke around 8am and did not get out of bed until after 10am. This is not normal for me, and I don’t want to get in a groove like this, but sometimes it’s just so decadent to...

I last left off talking about how I was heading to a meetup.com event at one of my favorite noodle houses. This was going to be a first for me with the meetup group and I knew exactly ZERO people...

Regarding Tuesday’s entry, Mom got worse and went to her doctor today. She has been diagnosed with bronchitis and NOT Covid, so I’m feeling better, though she has COPD, so any kind of situation...

I’ve been visiting my parents very regularly since the pandemic began. At first, we’d sit outside on the front porch, at least six feet apart every time, and chat for a while. Then I’d go do thei...

As we approach the Labor Day Weekend, here I sit in the Treehouse all up in my feels this morning. I woke up late, snoozing my alarm over and over because I don’t really have anything to do toda...

I was walking Martini the other afternoon and was at the end of the walk and back to the apartment building. I was about to walk through the parking garage to get to the stairwell closest to my a...

Guess what I did today? I decided to go to a networking event! I’d seen this event posted somewhere online - I can’t remember how I found it (probably LinkedIn) - and had signed up for it a coup...

---

Last I left you, I was floating on a high of having completed 10+ interviews and a strong feeling that I’d hear back from two companies before the weekend. I was also kind of ego-stroked by a you...

---

Hey everyone. I had Interview #FIVE with the Structure Company today. Ughhh. I am getting so weary of interviewing! This time it was with the president of the company, and he was pretty cool, but...

Have I ever told you that I dream about living in a container house? I’ve been thinking about this for years, and the thought just doesn’t seem to go away. A few years ago, I took a little road ...

Thank you for all the juju from my last entry, all! I had four separate Teams Meeting video chats with the fashion shoe company on Tuesday. They all seemed to go very well, but just like dating, ...

Hey everyone. Happy Monday! I wanted to write here earlier this morning, but the site was timing out and I couldn’t get on to even log in. I was starting to think that this was the end of PB so ...

Happy Saturday. Pretty quiet day so far. I took Martini out for an early morning walk on the downtown trail (alas, did not meet anyone, ha!). We walked for about 4 miles and then we went to the...

In from my dog walk and then shower and just freshly painted my nails. Next to get myself primped for my two interviews today: (1) The Structure Company - this will be Round 3, and (2) The Shoe C...
