Oh my GOD I can’t seem to get anything done at work besides constant CYA. At this point, I’ve decided that I need to keep all records neatly filed in multiple folders so that I don’t have to take all morning and 25 steps backwards on the daily. My boss blows things a little out of proportion, but I see her reasoning and I know why she does it - because others will try to implode the work you’ve done if you let them. I know this is vague, but I’m actually learning a lot. Will take these lessons to my next gig.

Why do I even mention that I’m talking with someone on Bumble when the second I do they disappear? The Chief Marketing Officer dude has gone quiet on me. I’m sure it’s because he’s gone out with someone he’s interested in, and that’s totally fair! I need to move on and start messaging others. And yes, I know how to online date. I just kinda don’t really want to. So I tend to find one single person and put focus on that person because I don’t really want to dedicate a lot of time on trying to get to know a bunch of people at a time. I know that strategy is not the right strategy, but I’m just so weary of the scene.

Went shopping at a big, fancy mall yesterday. It was an absolute joy! I know that sounds weird, but it had been so long since I’ve been out and about in PUBLIC, no less. I wore an N95 mask and just went and walked the entire mall. The people watching alone was sublime (I’d say 50% masked up and 50% barebacking), and I even found some great finds on super sale (workout wear half off at Old Navy, cute flutter sleeve top at Gap, always stuff at H&M so I got a $19.99 dress). I appreciate that Zara was only letting so many people in at a time, but the line was about 100 people long and I didn’t feel like standing in line, so I just wandered around some more. And I found my favorite Tom Ford fragrance, though I did not buy it. I let the perfume counter woman spritz me and walked around in a glorious smoky vanilla cloud the rest of the day.

Took my Christmas decorations down on Saturday. At the same time, the workers came to take all of the lights off all of the trees in the park. At the SAME time, it was freezing outside. Kind of a bummer to see everything come down and feel like I was in a bit of an empty space. I mean, not really empty, but just void of all of the Christmas-y stuff. Still, it was nice to be inside in the warmth, drinking tea with the dog snuggled up, always closeby. And the warm sunlight shining through the windows of the Treehouse. I still LOVE the Treehouse every single time I come home.
-
I should make it a point to get to know more of my neighbors. As much as I love the Treehouse, it seems weird that I only know a few people who live here, and those I know I rarely even see. I know the building used to have community events, but they’ve stopped due to Covid, of course. I just wish I had some friends here like I had at my downtown place. Time to start hanging out in the lobby? I don’t know!

Also, should I even start planning my big birthday trip this year? I want to do the Alaska/Aurora Borealis adventure. I’m sure it’s easier to plan the Alaska thing than it would be to plan something international, right? I mean, when is it safe to start planning things again? Not only do we all have to deal with the possibility of Covid dealing us another strain of this bullshit, but…and I know this might sound melodramatic, but I also have to worry about the other C-word rearing it’s ugly head again. I guess the thing is, anything can happen, so I might as well start planning for something FUN, right?

Speaking of the C-word, I get to go see Hot Oncologist on Wednesday. He’ll tell me the results of my scan, do my bloodwork (he’s doing genetic testing this time), we’ll flush my port, and I think if all is good with the scan, we’ll discuss getting that mother-effing port taken out of my body. Please send good scan vibes! I want this port out…yesterday!!

I just sent a text to my sweet old friend Sam, my buddy in the infusion room at the Cancer Center. I told him that I’d be there on Wednesday and I hope to see him. Last we communicated a couple of weeks ago, he had Covid. I hope he’s OK!! He said he was fighting the Covid with every fiber of his being. I sure hope he answers me.

Did I tell you I ordered three more of the fasting kits? I’m probably going to do the fast again in early February. At least that’s my plan right now. I liked it that much.

OK. It took me all day to tap a little of this out and then leave and come back and tap a little bit more out and so on. At least I’m writing again. I need to keep this up.
I love you!
