We had to put our dog, Doodle-Bug, down today. He was just old and sick and there was nothing we could’ve done for him. We had him for 18 years and I don’t know what I’m going to do without him. He’d been with me since I was 8 and was the first dog I ever owned.

When I was a wee lad lo these many decades ago, my uncle (long haul truck driver) brought me a surprise gift from Florida. A tiny lizard. Very cute.

Mine pooped out a whole underwear once. Actually he half pooped it and I had to pull it out the rest of the way. He’s a small dog I just don’t know how all that fabric fit. 

NEW DOG ALERT!

Dry January 2019. Made it until January 3. 

Hi stranger friends! Hope your holidays are going alright, especially those of you with difficult families.

Ooooh early! So haven’t posted in SNS in a while. So kind of the re-kindling of “Tell me something gooooooooood! Tell me that you like it!!!”

This year, I’m giving up my uterus!! And at least one of my ov’s!!

My 2 sloppiest NYE were two sides of the same coin.

My great-grandfather had a business in Manhattan; every day he’d close the shop at 12:30 and go home to the Bronx; he’d have lunch, then smoke a cigar, have a glass of cognac and have a nap. He’d then go back and reopen the shop at 3pm.

Job update: I got a call on Monday from the recruiter who did my phone interview. I now have a face-to-face interview with the pharmacy manager in charge of transitions of care and the emergency department. She would likely be my manager if hired. I’ve been knuckling down even more to make sure I nail this interview.

Hi Jezzies,

So hold on, a girl who is trafficked and preyed upon, forced in prostitution, kills a man who picks her up, is given over 50 years, but a grown ass man killing his girlfriend, pouring bleach on her, and not calling 911 until she’s definitely dead only gets 3 years? Yeah, I can definitely see how he’s more capable of…

My paternal grandmother was a major bitch and she hated me but loved my little sister. She was not coy about this. The phrase “It’s a shame you aren’t pretty like your sister. Smarts will get you nowhere is life.” Once came out of her mouth. And one Thanksgiving when I was 13, she questioned my paternity at dinner.

So fun to get kids something really special! I hope they love it and give you all the hugs. 

Hello, Jezzies! Just wanted to give you an update on me and The Coworker: he told me he loves me. Conveniently, I feel the same way (about him, I mean, though I do also love myself), and there was much rejoicing and morning sex and going out for beignets. On that note: what’s something good that happened to you this…

I’m going to a holiday party tonight with the man I’ve been seeing. This is the first time I’m sort of meeting a bunch of his friends and whatnot and I almost never make a good first impression (quiet introvert who hates small talk), so I’m super nervous. They’re all a little bit older than me and I’m worried my usual…

So not technically an apartment, but now-Mr. BallOfStress and I, along with my male bff and a random guy from out school we met off of Craigslist (back in the day)...It was a truly great house, in a sketchy neighborhood, but the price was right. We ignored the fact that the landlord was obviously a few cards short of…

Thanksgiving has always been the best holiday for me, Mom and Dad. Even though it was just the three of us, Mom would insist on making a 23-25 lb turkey (they REALLY like leftovers).

Okay, this is going to be wordy so settle in.
