  • March 2024

    Doh! Missed another month; not that March is a very exciting one for me, just taxes, taxes, taxes… And chilling with Lucy, while we stare out at those crazy birds that keep entering the backyard without our permission.

  • February 2024

    I mentally missed the end of the month, not at work, there I was very aware of the end of February because it is the deadline for tax slip filing, but here I missed it. I had been on a good run of posting at least monthly. So let’s pretend it is still February when…

  • January 2024

    The more orbits of the Sun I do, the more I realize that my brain doesn’t align with the “new year” starting on January 1st. Yes, I live in a Western society that ascribes to this calendar new year, but even if I take time off over the holiday season I still start January exhausted…

  • November 2023

    This has been an absolutely exhausting month (on top of a year of irritating months). It started with my being disappointed by someone who I thought was a better person than they turned out to be. They took a multi-year professional relationship and made a number of decisions leading to its destruction, while also making…

  • Just Another Tuesday

    I’m bored. With what you may ask? With everything I would answer. You would think, that is not possible, there is so much in the universe, how could one possibly get bored of everything? It’s like this, once you are a little bored with one thing, you start to become bored with all the other…

  • The Season

    It is too early in the tax year for me to be this exhausted and for my brain to turn mush. I haven’t even been working the same hours I was this time last year and yet, I feel twice as tired. Hopefully, this isn’t a sign of what is to come. This year was…

  • Shared Abyss

    Whenever I sit down to write something here I always start questioning why I want to write something, if I am feeling obligated or if I have something to say. I wonder if I should write something general or personal, mundane or exciting, who will read it and if that should somehow inform my choices.…

  • Out of Office

    I booked a holiday. No, I booked a trip. It is a holiday for me, but since it isn’t to a tropical or foreign destination and I won’t be staying in hotels or doing touristy things I assume most people wouldn’t call it a holiday exactly. I am going to go visit friends. I am…

  • Review: 4 out of 5 Stars*

    This morning, as I do on most mornings, I was standing in my local coffee shop waiting for my order to be prepared and chatting with the staff. The owner came in staring at their mobile phone with a bit of a perplexed look on their face. When they noticed us looking at them, they…

  • Dear Diary,

    Er, Internet? Tomorrow is June 30th. Another six months of another year gone. <Insert comment on time having no meaning>. It has been so long since I’ve written. (Isn’t that just how the diary entries go, bizarrely conversational as if writing inane letters to your future self about the mundanity of your current life.) I’ve…
