Gearing up for what’s coming in the next couple of weeks

And just like that, with two different text messages while I was waking up this morning at 9am (lmao), I lost 4 weeks of side income. My two clients extended their break period for 2 weeks more till mid June. Damn! Don’t get me wrong, it’s a much needed and well-deserved rest (but I only…

OPINION: The Last of Us 2 (game)

Well, better late than never… I bought The Last of Us 2 for $8 at a Best Buy sale about a week ago. I finished it in a couple of days. It took me 25-odd hours. (Don’t ask). I confess that I partially join the collective indignation against it. Not because of the excessive number…

Nice chill Monday, even though not-so good news linger

I sat down in front of my computer about an hour ago, and I’ve been staring at this blank blog post page for the better part of half and hour. Out of fucking ideas. All I really want to do is eat a large pizza and watch series until 2am… I don’t have to wake…

The JIF peanut butter recall (for real)

Today I googled: “how do i know if i have salmonella”. The reason? JIF peanut butter was linked to Salmonella cases. I eat one big 36oz jar a week with apples, pretzels, pancakes, crepes, oatmeal… You name it. If I can spread or stuff some peanut butter on it, I’ll probably do it. The instructions…

Summer forecast: looking good

It’s a good thing I did a lot of trips in May (one more still to go next weekend) ’cause I’m pretty much booked solid till July. Clients Monday through Friday, plus activities and/or more clients during the weekend; a much needed revenue to pay the piper (IRS) and alleviate the weight of my traveling…

First time I tried Frosted Mini-Wheats

Grocery shopping for this week and the next, might as well go to Costco. So, I got all my goodies there, like plant based protein products, sparkling water, and organic eggs. One item that I have lots of problems with is cereal. Love cereal, especially with oat milk, but most of them are basically packets…

Hello, extra pounds; so we meet yet again

My digital scale doesn’t work right. It adds about 30 pounds to my body weight. But I do know that after 2 back to back long weekend trips eating and drinking to my heart’s content, I definitely gained some weight. AT LEAST 3-4 pounds. How do I know? You ask. Elementary, my dear reader. Clothes…

When it rains it pours

Get this, I’ve been basically working non-stop 2 jobs since mid February. Needed the money, it was all part of the master plan. Mazel tov! Took me a couple of weeks to finally get into the daily rhythm of juggling my everyday life with work life with personal life with my other life (the one…
