Hey Darling Ones, I had a Zoom today. Is that a proper noun yet? Are they Zoom calls? Video chats? Is the proper terminology “I zoomed today”? Can we get the Chicago Manual of Style to make a ruling that I will promptly ignore? I have been Zooming my ass off lately because I’m a very important business lady who does the business all the time. Because I’m zooming all the time I’m keenly away for my zoom performance. Usually…
Hi Darling Ones, Today I had to check in three different times with three different people as to what day of the week it was. A lot of things happened for a Monday. I folded & put away an entire load of laundry that I washed yesterday. Usually it lives in the dryer for at least three days. I showered and put on my new Medusa shirt. It makes me feel extra bad ass. The project manager of a new…
Hi Darling Ones, I’m not sure if it’s a generational thing or it’s a jodirational thing, but every time I think about my taxes Uncle Pennybags from Monopoly pops into my head and narrates all my taxation thoughts with various images from the Community Chest and Chance cards. This is probably because Monopoly was my first experience of taxes. The other day before I had to give the first of three presentations I was so anxious I decided to distract…

There were a lot of boring words in a tiny font and I noped out of that message fast. They said my websites will be…
Hi Darling Ones, I’ve been in a weather-induced funk. Too many grey days stacked up in a row leaving me tipped over on the couch shoving junk-foodesque mysteries into my brain while also whining about being bored. March is over. Taxes are due soon. This is the time of rough anniversaries. I’d say everything feels like garbage, but that would require feeling something. Everything is nothing. On Thursday I had a Zoom meeting with a newish client. She looked out…
Well, Darling Ones, Last night’s Oscar ceremony was a trip. If you live under a rock you might not know that Will Smith slapped Chris Rock after Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s lack of hair. She has Alopecia. You can watch video of the incident, but I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s icky to say the least and triggering if you have a history with this kind of violence. Or if you have a history of your appearance…
