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!”
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”
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”
You can’t get there from here
Good thing I happened to put a map of the county in my car to bring to work (because I want to study the locations of rivers). Too bad I forgot to bring along the cell phone number of the person I was meeting. The road to my meeting was closed, because there was waterContinue reading “You can’t get there from here”
Flood schmud
The TV reports this morning would have you believing life was canceled as residents everywhere sandbagged their homes and waited for rescue boats. I should specify local reports…the Today Show had me feeling incredibly out of step with America, as I no longer get to vote at a polling place. I voted by mail twoContinue reading “Flood schmud”
Nail Power
I painted my nails in Chocolate Nut last night. I did this after doing dishes and laundry and Pledge-wiping every exposed inch of furniture in the house. Love Pledge wipes. Love the smell. I appreciate their dust removal capacity as well as the citrusy smell they leave on my fingers. Aside from that, I don’tContinue reading “Nail Power”
