Ahh, feel much better now. Came into the office around 11. Brought the puppy, because I’m leaving at 2 to avoid the next snowstorm. Meeting tomorrow is postponed. Really, I don’t know why anyone needs to work more hours than that. Someone should totally make a “New Puppy Smell” air freshener.

First law of motion
Sheesh. I’m feeling a bit unproductive and useless now. Since Sunday’s blizzard, I’ve barely left the house. I was grateful to have more time with the puppy, but when my body stays at rest too long, it tends to stay at rest. I’m supposed to drive to the main office for a 9:30 meeting onContinue reading “First law of motion”
Feeling guilty…
For asking Rob to pick me up some Teriyaki on his way home. Because 1) I’m worried about his driving a little hatchback on the scary ice without a cell phone and 2) the folks at Oishii went to work today and I didn’t.
Nose candy
Still too treacherous to drive. Unlike Rob, I am not considered “essential personnel” at my workplace. Isis is making progress. I left her alone while I bathed Stew and she was silent. I praised her and left the room to bathe myself (a task I neglected yesterday under the misguided impression that I might developContinue reading “Nose candy”
Snow Day!
I never go to work. Lucky for Isis, who still cries if I leave the room and she can’t follow. Schools are closed, ergo government offices are closed, ergo I am still in my pajamas. I have done some work from my laptop, but there’s not a lot I can do, especially since I wasContinue reading “Snow Day!”
Unconditional Love
We got a puppy! We adopted her from my brother’s wife’s parents, police dog trainers who bred their family dog, a stoic Slovakia-born German Shepherd, with an exotic looking dam, also from Slovakia. No kidding, our little girl is a Slovakian-American German Shepherd. We named her Isis. Check out those paws. She’s gonna be huge.Continue reading “Unconditional Love”
Have to get away
My last job offered a ridiculous amount of vacation. Of which I took next to none, which might as well have been none, since nobody actually kept track of such things. So I got a nice departing paycheck in exchange for that relaxation I never got. Instead, it’s paying for the new insulation that hasContinue reading “Have to get away”
Calories
I’ve been getting soup and a fresh herb roll regularly at the Co-op for lunch. One day they put the “healthy granola chocolate chip cookies” at eye level so I got one too. It’s vegan with whole wheat flour and no refined sugar, so I’m sure it’s very good for me, although it’s probably atContinue reading “Calories”
Cardio
Yesterday, the little rhinestone pattern on the butt pocket of my jeans left an imprint in my chair at work. Granted it was stormy and windy outside and 5 extra-large pizzas were delivered to the office at noon, so, really, where did I have to go? You know those magazine articles that list 5 simpleContinue reading “Cardio”
The Funnies
On the way to my cousin’s wedding last spring, my grandmother sat in the front seat, and Rob, my stepmother and I sat in the back. I think there was some concern that Grandma wasn’t always altogether with it, but she was never anything but lucid and sharp when I spoke to her. She interruptedContinue reading “The Funnies”
