RAD: John Candy in These Foolish Things
Happy Wednesday! Sitting in a coffee shop tryna get shit done before my big process meeting with my boss and….he’s got Covid! So he canceled and I now have a sec to write about last night’s date...
Friday Stuff in These Foolish Things
Been sitting at my computer for what seems like forever. Tonight I discovered that Bumble can be viewed in an actual browser on the web - not just through the app on a mobile phone. What a game-...
Jan Twenty-Two. in These Foolish Things
Sitting here watching the new Bachelor (not as much fun as the Golden Bachelor) and waiting for some comments on a sample prototype that the Head Cat should have in his possession by now. Ugh. Wo...
Are You High? in These Foolish Things
I saw a job posted on LinkedIn several days ago at a company I was very interested in about a year and a half ago. In fact, I’d previously been contacted by a headhunter about a role that was my ...
Mystery, Sadly, Solved. in These Foolish Things
A couple of entries ago, I wrote about walking out of my apartment to see several police cars and emergency vehicles, and an EMS vehicle a building over from mine. I noted that there wasn’t a lot...
Jan Twelve. in These Foolish Things
I wish I could tell you what the commotion was last night. Was it a crime scene? Was it a (heaven forbid) suicide? Was it a MURDERRRR?! I don’t know. And I don’t know any neighbors on that side t...
Jan Eleven.* in These Foolish Things
Gah. I started writing an entry about some of the things I’m starting to like about working from home and then I was like, nahhhh. So many people have been doing this for YEARS since the pandemic...
Jan Nine. in These Foolish Things
Tomorrow is my dad’s 85th birthday! He had a rough day with my mom today. After she was diagnosed with a massive pulmonary embolism in July, she had a small procedure called an IVC (Interior Ven...

Jan Seven. in These Foolish Things
Skipped a few days there. Not much new, save for a couple of things. Tomorrow I have to start digging into the “new” job in a much more meaningful way. I’ve been really enjoying not being crazed...
Jan Three. in These Foolish Things
Feeling better today - at least from a worrying perspective. Mom and Dad seem to have had a decent day. Mom’s MRI results came in, and there are no weird abnormalities. The stroke in her eye did ...
Jan Two. in These Foolish Things
Back to work. Back to the grind that just doesn’t really feel like a grind for some reason, and yet, I have soooooo much to do! I am walking around full of worry, and every day there is more to w...
Jan One. in These Foolish Things
Took the 3-hour drive today to Mom and Dad’s. I brought lunch for the whole family. There was a tenseness at the table, but I finally broached the subject again. It’s baby steps for now. I just h...
End of 2023 in These Foolish Things
Yesterday I started to do a little montage of 2023 on Instagram with photos from my year, but when I started pulling photos, I was like, ughhh, what a blah year. Like, it was a weird year. So I d...
Mom + Dad in These Foolish Things
Back from my quick Christmas run to see my family and some friends. I’ll expound more on this later, but my most pressing issue right now is the health and well-being of my mom and dad. I can’t ...
On Xmas Eve and Starting Anew in These Foolish Things
So much to write, but I need to prepare for my three-hour drive to the fam’s for Christmas. It’s been such a melancholy year. I am SO looking forward to 2024 and what that actually means. I swea...
10 Things About WFH* in These Foolish Things
Boring work stuff ahead. You’ve been warned. Working from home is new to me and it’s taking me a while to get used to it, but here’s what I’ve found is happening for me so far: I started this r...
10 Big-ish Things in These Foolish Things
The meeting with the Cool Cat Company’s Head Cat went about as I expected. He’s a diva, and that’s okay…he gets to be a diva because he owns the company and we do what he says. Even when he tel...
I'm Ready...Now Where Are You? in These Foolish Things
I spent a good portion of my weekend and today prepping for my new company’s (Cool Cat Company) founder to be here IN my apartment this week for development meetings. He flew in today and was to ...
This Season in These Foolish Things
It’s Christmastime. The weather’s getting cooler (at least at night it is), and I have no one to snuggle. I’m frustrated as hell and need to change that. So what if I’m a little chunky right now....
NJM23 - Entry #30 in These Foolish Things
Here it is. The last NoJoMo entry of 2023. I am on FaceTime with [Athena] and we are watching the Golden Bachelor finale. Martini is by my side. It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for! And n...
NJM23 - Entry #29 in These Foolish Things
Today’s prompt: Wild Wednesday - what’s the wildest thing you’ve done in your life? Hmmmm. This has me thinking maybe of the Top 10 Wildest Experiences of my Life. I won’t give you the gory detai...
NJM23 - Entry #28 in These Foolish Things
What?! November’s almost over? Can’t be. I’m antsy. I haven’t been out of my neighborhood since I got back from my Thanksgiving weekend on Sunday. I’ve stayed inside the apartment for two straig...
NJM23 - Entry #27 in These Foolish Things
I stopped following the prompts many days ago, but I remembered this prompt (that I didn’t follow at the time) and I think I’ll use it tonight because I followed my perfect morning routine this m...
NJM23 - Entry #26 in These Foolish Things
Finally home. Traffic was a bitch - just like we knew it would be on the busiest travel day of the year in the United States. It took five hours to make the drive home. It normally takes three. I...
