State of the Monday

• I arrived at work at 10 am today. Not as early as I hoped, but not terribly bad (10:30 is my official start time).
• I'm going on vacation in two days. A real vacation. At the beach.
• My toenails are painted for the first time this summer. Mrs. O'Leary's BBQ
• I brought my Primary bag to work today by mistake. This will necessitate a trip home pretty soon to retrieve the correct bag.
• I'm reading The Snake, the Crocodile and the Dog as part of my ongoing bid to once and for all reread and then finish the rest of the books in the series. It really doesn't get much better than Amelia Peabody. She's a great mood lifter.
• In other nail lacquer news, I can't find my bottle of Caffeine Fix. Hmmph.
• I watched the second episode of Zen on Masterpiece last night. Great! I'm now eager to read one of Michael Dibdin's books. If they're as good as Donna Leon's books, I'll be in heaven.

What's going on in your Monday?

Second Harvest

I hope to harvest enough tomatoes to can some of them.

First Harvest

First harvest, literally, because I've never grown food before.

Progress?

I just threw away 1/2 a bag of Cherry Cordial m&m's--they just didn't taste that good to me. Or maybe it had something to do with having to talk to my "health coach" soon.

Deja Vu--It's a Bad Thing

I was doing some email cleanup and found the following message I wrote nearly a year ago. Unfortunately, if you put 7/14/11 on it, it would still be true.

I’m just not thrilled with how my birthday week has turned out so far—I’ve eaten a ton of junk food and slept late too much. And I’m starting to feel the pressure of July being almost over, and then it’s August, and then the storm starts… You know. And I spent waaay too much money last month, which has me kind of stressed out too.
