Parenting is so different when I can sit at Indigo with my Starbucks while my daughter wanders the mall on her own.
I wish I understood why people feel the need to micro-manage from a distance when things are going well. I am feeling quite fatigued today from it.
Boring Friends
“We know only four boring people. The rest of our friends we find very interesting. However, most of the friends we find interesting find us boring: the most interesting find us the most boring. The few who are somewhere in the middle, with whom there is reciprocal interest, we distrust: at any moment, we feel, they may become too interesting for us, or we too interesting for them.”
– Samuel Johnson Is Indignan by Lydia Davis
I wish I could control my frustration better when people don’t follow simple instructions. I internalize it, but still burns strong within me.
While I continue to look for a new/additional position, I thought I would offer my affordable services to help others.
- copywriting
- website hosting
- photography
- more
Please retweet if possible and maybe I can help someone you know.
Enrolled for my continuing education program (online) thinking I’d be able to work through it next week. Nope. I have to wait a month to do the assignments. It’s 2020!
Should juse use a service like udemy to manage it.
The toughest words to hear from my daughter are when she tells me, “I don’t want to go to my mom’s next week.” Just heartbreaking that she doesn’t have a good relationship with her
I don’t understand people who tell you to do a thing, so you do the thing, but then tell you to not to do the thing after you’ve already done it.
My motivation to accomplish anything today is at a major low. The overcast weather is just making the headache I’m fighting that much worse. I really don’t want to look at screens today to try and get something done.

Spending my Saturday morning adjusting the fonts in my writing apps to JetBrains Mono. The website is quite something to browse through too: www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/
I should’ve double checked my appointment time before leaving my place in a rush. Now waiting for an hour.
My secret to surviving this cold week: throwing my hoodie into the dryer for ten minutes. Toasty warm.
A funny thing happened in Starbucks today. I was recognized because they recognized my daughter from Instagram. Does that make me Instafamous or just her?
A rather disappointing day for me. I was informed a few weeks ago that I didn’t get a position that I went through three stages of interviews for. Today I found out that the company had hired someone with zero experience over me. It’s a rather demanding position too.
That’s going to sting for awhile.
Don’t you just love when you go to grab something but realize you don’t have it, so you buy more and then think, “I should really store it in this different spot,” but then you go to put it away in said spot and discover Past You has already done that with an unopened package?!
Watching the Golden Globes with my daughter. She sees Jennifer Anniston walk up to present and says, “She looks like one of the actresses on a show I’m watching.”
She has watched a few episodes of Friends. #GoldenGlobes
I was feeling cold so put on my hoodie. Started watching The Godfather and drinking bourbon. Now I’m sweating in the new year.
#HappyNewYear!
That scene in Christmas Vacation when Chevy Chase is watching home movies in the attic and crying? It’s me.
