More than likely, we all know and love a conspiracy theorist or two. Whether family, or a close friend, there is likely someone in your life who buys in to a conspiracy - or a whole host of them. Sometimes it’s a family member who believes some right-wing things that are meant to sway politics. …
As of last night, I can no longer leave my city...and no one can come in. Restaurants are to be completely closed by 11pm and stores are back to maximum 50% capacity. We are able to meet with a maximum of 6 people - which is actually better than what friends in Melbourne have where …
Have you ever lied to your doctor about how much you drink? I’ve been known to stretch the truth a time or two. As in “a couple glasses of wine” being ‘weekly’ vs the actual ‘not quite daily, but sometimes’. Truth be told, I have actually thought about not taking something I’ve been prescribed because …
I had set out to write daily, however after almost a month and a half I’m finding I just don’t have as much to say. As much as I’m trying to build routine and discipline (I actually had to think for awhile what that word was....guess that shows how much I’m lacking in it! Ha!) …
I was catching up with a friend last night that I haven’t spoken to in a few months. He said that I was “eerily calm”. I think I’ve just been learning how to roll with the punches a bit more. Let’s be real...I still get worked up about things...I definitely have my moments of frustration …
The social aspect seems to be getting a wee bit easier, which is nice. Yesterday was brunch....had a virgin Bloody Mary, which was delicious. The only annoying part was the waiter’s reaction when the other’s ordered non-virgins as he was cheering on the fact that they were doing it ‘properly’ and actually asked me if …
Hold the presses! OMG! I think I may have found a lovely substitute for red wine...that is not grape juice, or any other kind of sweet juice! Last night the girls were getting together and the choices of venue were: wander the barrio till we found an terrace that had space...a restaurant that had wine …
For the first few weeks...almost the first month, I felt amAZEing! I was perky and cheerful and felt like I could take on the world. But now, 1 month and 3 days in... (thud). I feel like I’ve hit the pavement. This past work week has been a heavy-duty one. And because I am the …
Yesterday, I had my first in-person customer meeting since January. Which was weird but fantastic! And it was a good meeting...so that was great! I arrived earlier than our customer and told my Account Manager, who was perusing the wine bottles, that I did not want this to be a drinking lunch. That the customer …
I woke up relatively early this morning with weird dreams, but then fell back asleep. During my dream, I was at some kind of work-related conference. I can’t tell if I was drinking or not, but most people were definitely drunk around me and I just remember this feeling of chaos and trying to ‘right’ …
