Neverending Story

No, we're not talking about the 1984 fantasy movie. We're talking about my life. Every day (practically).

I didn't find the missing Caffeine Fix, but I made some interesting discoveries during my search. The inner dialogue went something like:

North Texas tolltag? I didn't even know it was missing. And I never would have found it here!

Compact mirror. Sure wish I could make myself use it. Well, it wouldn't hurt to transfer it to yet another bag.

Wait a minute. Where's the bag I took to Day Camp last month? I haven't seen it since then. I better not have lost it there.

Aha! I knew I'd find you, rogue library Dogs and Cats book missing since October! Apparently I took you to KY at Christmas. Huh. This is a pretty good book. I should take it next time I see the children. Lincoln does love his "arfies."

Hello, running watch. This saves me a trip to my gym locker, since I planned to take you to FL tomorrow. But wait, maybe I should take this $14 fashion watch instead. Too bad the battery is dead.

Where on earth is that stupid bag? Now that I've thought about it, I really need to take it on the trip.

Four boxes of Puffs Plus? I knew I couldn't be completely out. Good thing I only bought three more and not another six.

Pathological

It's 8:50pm and I'm panicky over being unplugged for three days. I don't want to leave work because I'm fearful I'll get home and remember something I should have done that CAN'T WAIT until Monday.

No, I don't save lives at my job, but you wouldn't know it to look at the way I behave.

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.
