April 15 - Tax Day! in These Foolish Things
My accountant is so busy during tax season that ever since the pandemic he’s had to file extensions for me annually. This year, I got way out ahead of it and we filed nearly a month ago, so I did...
April 14 - Weekend Doings in These Foolish Things
By the way, I was not feeling sorry for myself in the last entry when I was talking about how nothing in my life has turned out the way I thought it would - I was simply observing and noting. It’...
April 13- The Good Life in These Foolish Things
It’s the weekend. Enough about work stuff. While it provides me with the funds to live this life, I know that’s not what life is all about. As part of my 75 Hard program, I started reading The Go...
April 12 - Something's Up in These Foolish Things
My direct boss is super weird. I think I’ve told you that. I’ve called him “Inbox Nazi” many times before. He cares about everyone having a Zero Inbox (no unfiled emails) over other important bus...
April 11 - Tapped Out in These Foolish Things
Rough day at work yesterday - don’t want to talk about it, but I’m annoyed and need to keep my ears to the ground and I HATE that. Why is my career so shaky at the end of it? It wasn’t supposed t...
April 10 - On This Day in These Foolish Things
So, so much going on in my FB Memories (you know, when photos from the past pop up and all of that emotion comes flooding back) and even here in PB with the On This Day section. Five years ago i...
April 9 - Got Mooned! in These Foolish Things
The eclipse was cool to see. We were worried around these parts that we wouldn’t get to see anything because of the expectation of low clouds and even possible thunderstorms. But the sky held o...
April 8 - Pickled in These Foolish Things
Went to my beginner Novice Pickleball League yesterday. For the first time since I’ve started to learn how to play, I felt like I was really in the game! It’s starting to get fun for me. Even th...
April 7 - The Cleanup in These Foolish Things
Yesterday (Saturday) was my Monthly Volunteer Day. I’ve said it in other entries that I’ve decided to volunteer at least once a month. I haven’t given myself any kind of restrictions or guidelin...
April 6 - The Brother in These Foolish Things
Finally saw my friend C. last night. He’d been MIA for a while. I know he leaves town frequently and goes to California to see his girlfriend and do work (what does that guy even DO?!), but it wa...
April 5 - Friday in These Foolish Things
It’s Friday. We made it. After working for Cool Cat Company for nearly 6 months now (can you believe it?!), I’m starting to enjoy working from home in some aspects. If you take out the fact that ...
April 4 - Andrew Huberman in These Foolish Things
I can’t remember how I’d fairly recently discovered Andrew Huberman, the neuroscientist professor at Stanford who also had a podcast and a popular Instagram page with 6.2M followers, but I’m sure...
April 3 - Agility in These Foolish Things
The days seem to fly by lately. Today’s read was about agility. You know how the older you get the less flexible you are? Unless you practice stretching both mentally and physically, you become ...
April 2 - Authenticity in These Foolish Things
Hey, good morning! I have read my book for the day and today’s lesson was in authenticity. It’s funny - I feel like I’m pretty authentic on the daily - just being my dorky self. But maybe I do t...
April 1 in These Foolish Things
Good morning! Gonna see if I can add quick journal entries to my morning routine. I’m still figuring my morning routine out - always a work in progress - but I would love to add this to my 75 Har...
Been a While Since a Biz Trip in These Foolish Things
Good morning, all! I feel like it’s a Monday of new beginnings for some reason. I’m back from my first business trip of this new-ish job and it was fantastic to be traveling again! This time it w...
Pulling Bullets in These Foolish Things
Hi! Let’s see. New week. New me? Hah. Here are some things, in no real particular order, but some of it is sort of chronological: Did I tell you I noticed a concerning spot/lesion on my eyelid la...
Lots Going On. Some Teasers... in These Foolish Things
I think I’ve decided to try and do one volunteer event per month. This month, I volunteered at a huge, HUGE multi-day convention that happens in my city every year. So many amazing, successful,...
RAD: Moondoggie in These Foolish Things
Name: Moondoggie Introduction Platform: No platform, this was a pure and natural meet-cute! This is the guy I met at his coffee shop/cafe on the lake where I sometimes like to hang out. His dog...
Leap Day 2024 in These Foolish Things
I just wanted to write an entry so I can look back on this four years from now and have an On This Day entry! Does anyone else love going back and reading those entries that you wrote years ago? ...
Catch UP! in These Foolish Things
Catching up with life…it’s been a while. So much has happened. I went to the fun lesiban dance party! It was so interesting. The Birthday Girl (my crush-ish) had invited several people who live ...
Post V-Day in These Foolish Things
I feel like I don’t have much to say lately. Or maybe it’s that when I feel like writing, it’s always close to bedtime and I feel like I”m winding down and my eyes are closing. It’s February. It...
Backup Computer? in These Foolish Things
I haven’t felt like working all afternoon. Spent the whole morning and most of the afternoon in meetings - from 8:30am (talking to China) until 2:00 (meeting with the Exec Team) - I sat here at ...
RAD: Dr. Speed Racer in These Foolish Things
Name: Dr. Speed Racer Introduction Platform: Bumble Age: 56 Relationship Status: Divorced for a while (he said, but I missed it because of the background noise!). Two kids, a girl who’s 16, an...
Early February Check-Ins in These Foolish Things
75 Hard Check-in: End of week 6 of the 75 Hard program. Essentially, it’s two workouts a day (one of them has to be outdoors, and that’s when I walk the dog), a progress photo daily, read 10 page...
