"Good morning. How can I help you." I have an appointment. Sunshine. "Says here you're getting a full car inspection." Yes. "No." ...Yes... "No. That's not what you want." Yes...It is, though. The state says... "You want a state inspection." ...Yes... "You can't schedule a state inspection." Ok, but I did... "You scheduled a full … Continue reading Full Car Inspection

Proving My Existence
So, I work in this…I guess it’s called a green building? Or a smart building? A smart green building? The lights are on motion detectors. The toilets and faucets and towel dispensers are also motion-activated. It’s cool. In theory. Saving all those resources. But there’s something about my existence that the sensors fail to acknowledge. … Continue reading Proving My Existence
Trail Hazing
“Why every time we go somewhere with Beautiful Beastie does it feel like we’re being hazed?” Rogue’s not wrong. We went to Rock Castle Gorge with her last weekend. Where she and Tiny Brazilian quickly took off. At their beast pace. While Rogue and I followed behind. At our normal human pace. Where we traversed … Continue reading Trail Hazing
Legit Professional Woman
Ran with my Cross Country kids for the first time in months tonight. Ran is a bit of a stretch. See this? That’s my heart rate. That spike? That’s when my heart rate hit 193… That was during the warm up… We all agreed I would just sweep the actual run. I’m certain it serves … Continue reading Legit Professional Woman
Summer League For My Life
I just finished up my first full week of work since May. And it was jam-packed with nonstop new employee meetings and a flood of new information. One of the days was back to back meetings with different executive team leaders. And they kept asking what department I work in. Within the company. And I … Continue reading Summer League For My Life
Skipping the Panic Attack Stage
I have spent much of my weekend watching training. To help me feel a little more...competent. Going into my first actual full work week in almost two months. So, I've got this access at work now. To send emails. On behalf of the COO. ... Y'all just...sit with that for a moment. I. Me. I … Continue reading Skipping the Panic Attack Stage
Storm of Vulnerability
Actually. Shitstorm of vulnerability. Is more accurate. But seems inappropriate for a title. It’s ok to cuss in an actual post. Just not the title. So, shitstorm of vulnerability. Those are the best words I have to describe what is happening inside of my brain right now. My son asked me how the new job … Continue reading Storm of Vulnerability
Walter’s Replacement
So to continue on my theme of incompetence this week… My dad found me a very nice, used riding mower yesterday. And brought it to me. As we were coordinating a spot for him in my front outbuilding. My parents saw Walter. And immediately began ridiculing him. And me. “So, you’ve been mowing an acre … Continue reading Walter’s Replacement
Glimmers of Hope
Thank you so much. I’ll miss you guys! “…ok…you…have a nice day…” Look. I’ve spent a lot of time with the DMV folks lately. And my socials are a little more awkward than usual. Because New Job. But the two hours I spent with them yesterday morning. Felt special. It started with rejection. Again. Because … Continue reading Glimmers of Hope
Desert of Discomfort
Did you get kicked out of the PlayFITStayFIT group, too? I need to know how pissy and resentful to be. “Huh. I did. Weird.” Seriously. We have this PlayFITStayFIT Facebook group. For current members. Where we can see who is going to which class. In hopes of avoiding one on one time with J-Vicious. No … Continue reading Desert of Discomfort
