I weighed myself again this AM. I lost .2 more lbs since yesterday. Today I ate a nutty bar. I wonder if I will lose weight tomorrow?
This is going to be a very long day because my ass is dragging. I babysat Penelope last night so her parents could have a date night at the Guthrie. I got my snuggle fix. She's so cute! Tried to play with her dollhouse with her. I was going to crawl around and peek at her thru the windows but she followed me and laid down next to me to snuggle. Then later I decided that I should exercise and march in place during commercials (they had some painfully long commercials on last night!). When I started marching, Penelope got up, leaned back against the couch and marched too! She had enough sense to stop after a couple of minutes but me, I kept going. I shouldn't complain...I survived. I should probably stop celebrating my marshmallowness quite so strenuously some day! How weird would it be if I ever got physically fit? Very, very weird!
The play was a long one so didn't get home until after 11:30 PM. Then my brain wouldn't shut off and let me sleep. I don't know what time I finally fell asleep. I do know that my eyes want to live somewhere else today and my body feels like I did something bad to it - you know, hung over but not? Now I'm hitting the caffeine. Sadly that won't help my bloodshot, burning eye problem.
It's a whopping 3 degrees outside right now. My hands are cold! I work in an old warehouse in Mpls. It's an office now but they LOVE to keep it retro so there is no insulation between me and the stone walls. I can feel the cold coming off the wall next to me. Sucks. At least I have big windows so I can see the sky and peep at the neighbors across the street on really boring days. On cold days like this it is NOT comfortable! I think I may have to resort to wearing my fingerless gloves today to keep my hands from stiffening up in the cold. Oops...too late. If only I could type with my hands snugged up on my neck for warmth!
The electricity sucks in this building. Whenever I want to print I have to shut off my little space heater or I blow a circuit. I can only run my space heater on low or I blow a circuit. If I had a co-worker sharing my office we couldn't run space heaters...we'd have to huddle together to share body heat. I think they keep it a little too retro in this building! I see my co-workers in the next room wearing coats and they aren't even by the walls! Poor co-workers :(
I hate being over tired. I seriously considered sleeping in and then I remembered that usually no one else is in the office when the phones roll over so I don't get that luxury. I've spoiled them all. Turns out I could have slept in because Katie came in early. Oh well. Too late now. I feel kind of trapped by my own consistent early check-ins. My own fault I guess. Always puts me in a panic when I'm sick and can't come to work but the company seems to survive so I should probably stop panicking about it.
Disjointed ramblings is right! Last night I was telling my daughter that I should do a food blog entry with pretty pictures soon just to offset my bitching about PMS and weight loss.
Lately I have a steady bitch monologue running thru my head and I like it! At least I'm mostly not inflicting it on anyone. I told my pal Kim that yesterday and she remembered a scene from the Addams Family movies where they put Wednesday in a cabin (she was at summer camp) and forced her to watch Disney movies until she came out and creeped everyone out with her smile. They wanted to force her to be PC. Epic fail! I told Kim that they could put the 2 of us in a cabin with Disney movies and we'd still not be PC by the end of it. (The PC point came up because I was referring to the mid-eastern nose picker at the dealership as a terrorist. I think it's funny as hell that I did that!) I can tell I'm tired because I don't know if this makes any sense. Oh another thing...we'd need plenty of vodka and tasty mixes in that cabin while we watch those Disney movies! Or wine. I like wine. I could torture Kim by making her listen to Snow White's trembly voice over and over again. Except I'd have to listen to it too and that would suck. We both like the evil step-mom the best and think it could have ended better than it did.
I can't wait until I get to go home and lie around like a slug tonight. Except I do need to scrub my stinky dog. He was farting up a storm again last night...so bad it woke me up again with the stench! I'm resigned to the fact that living with a foul wee beastie is how my life is going to be until he kicks off. There is a chance that when I get his dental work dealt with that might ease up. I just need my W-2's so I can file my taxes and get my bitty refund! At least he seems to be pretty happy and he's eating good and looks a bit like a sausage now. He's living the good life tho I think the stench even bugs him! When his bed gets smelly he stops sleeping in it until I change the sheets. He's such a prima dona!
Only 7 more hours to go. Groan. Just realized my boss is coming in today from TX. Perfect. Just fucking perfect.
