Day 107 - On Safety

Lately, I’ve been thinking about what it means to feel safe. One definition of the word safety is as follows: Safety is a fundamental human need, recognized as a core element of Maslow’s Hierar...


Morning. Just out of my meeting with my agent in China. What a disaster these tariffs are. I may end up getting tariffed right out of a job! Fucking motherfucking Trump can suck it right now. ...


Mentally prepping for today. Maybe this is a little thing, but it’s not so little to me. I gotta get my head right about yet another spot found on my skin. The derm was able to squeeze me in t...


Monday again. Sipping coffee and getting ready for the week ahead. So here we go with the morning routine… I’ve finished my latest 6-week weight training program, so today I’m starting this o...


I met “the girls” at the thrift warehouse at our designated time of 3:30 yesterday (see previous entry). They were a little late, as expected, and I was a little early per usual. So I’d already ...


Daffo-dills! Ahahaha! Good morning, glories! It’s Saturday. It’s 6:30am and the birdies are chirping, and I’m ALIVE again today. I have a lot of things going on today, and my mind is on refres...


My cardinal is back! I tried to look back in my entries to see where I wrote about the cardinal who smashed into my window and fell to the balcony floor in a splat, wings splayed and stars danci...


Ahhh, I haven’t talked about my neighbors in a while, have I? Honestly, there’s not a whole lot to write about since I don’t see my neighbors a lot. This little community where I live is not a ...


I didn’t call my mom and dad last night as I was so freaking tired for some reason that I went to bed at 7:30. Got a great night’s sleep, and have been churning several work projects out all day...


Hey, Mike White, have you been reading my diary? I’m not going to post any spoilers for the three of you who haven’t watched Season 3 of The White Lotus yet. I was fascinated by this season’s...


Brunching: When I get something stuck in my head (see: brunching from yesterday’s entry), I fricking DO something about it. I wish I’d get some other things stuck in my head as strongly as I fee...


Kinda digging my new morning routine - the one where I drink my protein coffee before working out. The thing is, I won’t be able to do this routine when I get my amazing new job and have to wo...


See previous entry, where all of this bitching began. Ah yes, a few more things to say about Head Cat, only because Kitty Cat (CEO) spilled the beans to me the other day, and where do I put th...


I’m at the point at work right now that I have to finish up my reports about the Trade Show trip and put everything into action. It’s always such a frantic time leading up to a show, then you’re...


April 2nd - we are well into Spring at this point. Does it feel like Winter kinda skipped us this year, or am I just at that age where the seasons fly by? I don’t want them to fly by. Speaking...


Day 1 of first biz trip of the year. It’s a long-ish story, but today I’m spending the day working at an Airbnb back in my former city, very close to the huge airport, because I have an early fl...


I got a new iPhone AND a new iPad in the last two weeks. It’d been three+ years since I’d gotten an iPhone upgrade, so I figured it was time. I financed it through AT&T, so now I have to s...


Today is Day 75 of 2025. It’s also the last day of my Vintage/Thrifted Fashion Challenge! It would also be the last day of my 2nd 75 Hard fitness challenge (mental and physical), but even thou...


Five years of Covid. It’s still a fucking thing. And it’s not a minor thing, either. My mom has it again. I hope her body can handle it. My poor dad is struggling with alllll of her medicati...


Do you remember me writing about my friend Anni? She’s the one who gets fall-down fucked up and gets mean to me on our girls trips and it’s become really, really upsetting to me. She had invited...


Good late morning! I have done nothing but eff around this morning because I want to! We lost an hour last night due to daylight savings (ughhh), and so I decided to be lazy this morning and rea...


I started writing a whole Updates on Various entry and this was one of my bullet points, but I decided that this important subject needs its own entry, so here you go: March is Colorectal Cance...

Day 55.5 - People are Dicks

Head Cat had to reschedule my weekly meeting with me for some bullshit reason, so it was rescheduled to 4:30pm today. The man/diva is never, ever, EVER on time and I knew the meeting would run o...

Day 55 - Minor Setbacks

Ugh. The cold weather of the last week truly did a number on me. I guess I didn’t realize how much. I mean, my last entry should have been a sign. I was so OVER being stuck inside and couldn’t W...


Okay. This is it. The dog and I are going stir-crazy. This will be the last day of hibernation for us for the winter. I’m documenting it right now because I mean it! In fact, when the weather s...
