**Tiger King spoilers below In-office week. I fully expected a bleary, mundane last two days, but work was steady. Not busy, just steady. Except for the final two and half hours Monday evening. I tried to keep busy with menial tasks while listening to the shitshow they called a White House Briefing. Yesterday not one … Continue reading Q-Day 35: Word Salad

Q-Day 32: Easter Sunday
Happy Easter! Unfortunately, no Easter baskets this year. I did buy some Easter candy at the store last week, but it was – like everything else in the damn store – slim pickins. O came into the kitchen this morning and, after munching on Hershey’s milk chocolate eggs, asked me to hide the bag. … Continue reading Q-Day 32: Easter Sunday
Q-Day 30: April 10, In Our BEST Year
Today is my three-year anniversary at my job. Three years ago today I was in Philly for an all-day orientation. It was a beautiful day, though I spent all but the few minutes’ walk around the block inside. Side note: I get a prize for my anniversary! I don’t know what it is. I’m waiting … Continue reading Q-Day 30: April 10, In Our BEST Year
Q-Day 29: Shitshows, Passover, & Keeping It Real
Both kids’ Easter breaks began today. There’s something oddly ironic about this. No big Easter plans, obv. I was going to make peanut butter eggs but the lunatics have bought out every variety of chocolate chip known to man. I did buy three Hershey’s chocolate bars to use instead, but have managed to eat one … Continue reading Q-Day 29: Shitshows, Passover, & Keeping It Real
Quarantine Day 27: Spiraling
Sabra avoided me for about 4 hours after her bath and blowout but got bacon drippings with dinner and all was well with her world again. Last night Todd and I tag-teamed her so we could shave her face and, while she hated it, she looks so much better. I am proclaiming myself queen of … Continue reading Quarantine Day 27: Spiraling
Things Todd & I Can Do While Quarantined Together
I’m borrowing from this article I read the other day. The ideas are not mine and I have attached the link to the article and give full credit to the author. Hereto follows suggestions for us to do other than watching Netflix. [First off, Netflix is barely on the table anyway. He wouldn’t have made … Continue reading Things Todd & I Can Do While Quarantined Together
Quarantine Day 21: No April Fools’ Jokes
I am intentionally keeping Q-Day posts as short as possible (goal: under 1000 words) for quick reading, and broke it into 3 sections. Section 1: updates and random thoughts. Section 2: the day's stats (will NOT include virus stats. If you got time for that, you can look it up yourself). Section 3: random trivia. … Continue reading Quarantine Day 21: No April Fools’ Jokes
Day 11
Random Notes: Still have plenty of TP. We're all gaining weight, even the dog, who is getting more treats from everyone in the house than she’s ever had. The drip in the kitchen faucet is diabolical. Dropped a bar of soap in the shower and learned it's just as loud as a shampoo bottle. Star … Continue reading Day 11
The Long Journey Home
……began at 3 a.m. Todd loaded everything into the rental car – a Chevy Equinox that smelled like a brand new car, had that unnerving stop-start technology, and the worst turning radius since my Volvo. Stop-start by the way, if you’re as unfamiliar as I was, basically means the car goes into this sort of … Continue reading The Long Journey Home
