So, I’m heading off on another adventure today. I’m sure you can tell based on the title of the post where I’m off to. I had visited Spain and Portugal a long time ago when I was in my late 20s for a “I-just-quit-my-job-and-before-I-start-the-next-one” break. (I used to do that a lot – travel somewhere in my break between quitting… Read more »
As noted in my previous post, my trip to Florida to follow Adam Ant around on his Florida gigs hit a big snag named Irma. On Wednesday, after I received the evacuation notice from my hotel in Ft. Lauderdale, I decided to opt out of the fourth show in Jacksonville and try to get home earlier than Monday evening, figuring… Read more »
Hello from sunny Fort Lauderdale! Yes, I am in Florida , the state that has a catastrophic Category 5 hurricane bearing down on it. Why, you ask? Well, I decided awhile back to do a little road trip and see a few concerts by Adam Ant. I’m not exactly sure who on his team is responsible for scheduling four concerts… Read more »
My last couple of posts were sad stories about skin cancer. I figured I would switch it up for this post and relate something not slightly depressing… I’m switching roles in my company, which for me is very good news. I was getting really stressed reporting to a boss that had no clue on how to manage a team and… Read more »
I’m on my last day of my 2017 birthday trip. It’s been a wonderful 2 weeks of roaming. Rather than give a detailed day-by-day summary in a bunch of posts, I’m going to write one long post. The trip started out with a late night flight up to Boston via Chicago. For the first time in my life, the connecting… Read more »
Well, I’m sitting in the mountains of Vermont and the cool, fresh air feels amazing. And I’m breathing a little easier because I got a call from the dermatologist’s assistant telling me that my biopsy came back benign. I can tell you, I was really sweating during the waiting period. It is a relief to know that right now, I’m… Read more »
So, I have my every-6-months follow-up appointment with the dermatologist this week. I already wrote about how stressed I am about this one, mostly because I am paranoid. I have no reason to be, but sometimes my amygdala likes to hijack the rational part of my brain. I’m also counting down to my upcoming birthday. Unlike most people over the… Read more »
I’m in San Francisco all this week for work. Yes, I realize how fortunate I am to be able to come here as often as I do and have someone else pay for it. Even when work is crazy, I remind myself how cool it is that I get to regularly travel here and suck it up when I want… Read more »
So, there’s got to be readers of this blog that cringe when I start talking about travel. If you’re one of those people who think to yourself “Dear God woman, just talk about cancer, and scars, and maybe some science every once in awhile”, feel free to skip this post. The rest of you, you with me still? Good… I… Read more »
I caught the hour-long bus from Glasgow to the Edinburgh Airport. The check-in desk was packed at that early morning hour. Unfortunately, I had to check my bag for my flight to Amsterdam due to the acquisition of a few too many scarves and a bottle of Scottish whisky. Despite getting to the airport an hour and a half early,… Read more »
