First day in the office in about a year, and it went pretty well. It was nice seeing some familiar faces. Went to dinner with Sarah and Q, which was great. The day was so exhausting, though. I fell sleep at 8:30pm and woke up at 10:40 with headphones on. Two more days!

Here I am in Sunrise, where I was greeted by a double rainbow in the parking lot of my hotel. There was a woman with a dog in her lap at the restaurant, and my new car averaged just over 41 miles per gallon on the way here. I couldn’t pick up my prescription before…

Christina had a long dance rehearsal today, so I got some time to write a little while she was there. I have had this idea for a story for more than a year, but I traded my writing time for gym time and that was the sacrifice. It felt good to at least write a…

I previewed my presentation with my VP and got a very positive reaction. Unfortunately he won’t be my VP in another six weeks, but it’s still nice to know he was supportive. Otherwise, just a normal day. Trying to think about what to do this weekend with the family to make the most of our…

Got my senior leadership presentation revamped in light of our reorg and I feel pretty good about it. At the very least, it’s the best I can do. I’m falling behind in the meantime, but what else is new. Robin called me while I was on a conference call and I thought she was dying…

Something small and big seems to be changing. I feel like I’m losing touch. Things feel disconnected. I am directionless. It’s an unsettling feeling, and I feel like I am coping in strange ways, cracking jokes that aren’t quite funny, making art that isn’t quite beautiful. I know this is all very vague, but that’s…

More change at work. I’ve spent a lot of time over the last few weeks perfecting a pitch for restructuring my team and now it’s all out the window because the rest of the organization changed first. I will have yet another new leader, and who knows what will happen after that. I’m a little…

I am reading Beloved, which I’ve never read before, and it’s beautiful. So painful but so beautifully told. We all still have so much to learn.

Robin asked to go to the playground, so… why not? It was a gorgeous day. We ate dinner on the patio, then went out for ice cream and to the Game Haus, where we tried out a few new games. We had a lot of fun, but now I have a headache. It has been…

I didn’t intend to buy a car today, but I did anyway. It’s a nice car. It has air conditioning. But I am exhausted. Robin and I were there literally all day, and buying a car is stressful. Tomorrow I have a four-mile run planned. I am going to need to do something outside after…

I talked on the phone for nearly seven straight hours today. How did I have that many meetings on a Friday? But Pinot got a haircut and now we can see his eyes again.

Repairs on my car are $3,500. Also I have a road trip planned in a week. For some reason, my brain is not processing this, and I don’t know what to do next. So we went to Chili’s.

I made the mistake of looking at the training materials we are using at work. Cannot unsee! My colleague suggested I trash it and ask ChatGPT to rewrite it for me. Man, I don’t know what it is, but I hate the idea of being shown up by AI. But… we’ll see what it can…

My days are getting away from me. Time seems to blend and I’m losing track of where I am and what I’m doing from one minute to the next. Every day feels the same. Also the air conditioning in my car is broken. So there’s that.

Today involved a lot of work stupidity and a few moments of insightfulness. It rained, which felt nice. Other than that, nothing much of note.
