Heading into the second shift
It’s 5:08 p.m. here in sunny San Diego. Today I put up a daily goal on my wall. “Have you made your [dollar amount that represents making a living] today?”

I suppose heading across the street to my former favorite coffee shop for a cupcake would not only break my boycott in a pathetic way, but it would also blow my calorie count and provide another reason to procrastinate?
Yeah. You’re right — I’ve already tried the cupcake thing. I better get to work.

[...] they figure out pretty quickly that I dress strangely, have a fear of commitment and obsess about cupcakes. And ex-boyfriends know when I’m dating again, or — heck — when I buy new [...]
