BFF Summit

By · Leave a Comment

My BFF Trisha has another BFF, Anna. Anna and I have never met.

Ever.

Today Trish and I will be meeting Anna at an undisclosed location, and the meeting will begin.

Will I like Anna? Will Anna like me? Will I be jealous? Will she be jealous? Will Anna and I get along so well, Trisha gets jealous?

It’s a mystery.

I’m inclined to like Anna because Trish is so awesome and an excellent judge of character: I mean, I’m the other BFF, after all. Also Anna is getting us a hotel room. That is in her favor for sure. Yes: I can be bought.

An Idea Trish had was to record a BFF Summit Lounge: so I am sure that will be happening tonight. Look for it in a few weeks.

Caturday Morning

By · Leave a Comment

Got a busy day full of driving to Bethel with my Momz, visiting with my cousin, chilling with BFF Trisha, and other shenanigans.

Prediction: when it comes time to write my blag post tonight, I won’t feel like it. So, in a preemptive strike, I am posting my post NOW, BEFORE I do exciting things.

By the way: LOVED The Heat last night. Laughed a lot. Good fun. (It’s a movie, people).

Also, This:

The Truth is OUT!

Later.

Funky Meds

By · Leave a Comment

I love funk, but I don’t love being in one.

And I am definitely in a funk today. Well, feeling anxious. Come to find out, it may be med related – my antidepressant CAN increase anxiety.

Fantastic.

So, again, I am changing meds. The first one gave me the runs, the second one made me MORE anxious (I already have an anti-anxiety med.) I wonder what this third one will bring? Puppies! (Oh crap, our landlord doesn’t allow dogs.)

I’ve made a commitment to try this medication thing for a few months, at least. It is feeling like a freaking waste of time. (But maybe that’s the meds talking.)

Now it’s off to the Target Pharmacy to pick up my new meds.

Yay?

I keep composing blag posts in my mind

By · Leave a Comment

But I don’t write them down.

I tell myself: I should write this down in my notebook (my Moleskine notebook that is always in my purse.) But I don’t.

And tonight I am plodding along preparing my pod for the light of day.

So you are saved from any fleeting thoughts of brilliance. For now.

You have been warned.

Working Late

By · Leave a Comment

I just spent the last couple of hours figuring out my time sheets for the past few weeks. It’s crazy how it gets out of control very quickly when you’re having a crisis and whatnot. Yes, I have a salary position, but we need to account for our time for billing purposes.

When I am doing well, I keep track of my time as I go throughout the day. In spite of my techno-love*, I use printouts of my Outlook Calendar to record the time, it is nicely laid out per day in half-hour increments, I just scribble all over it what I’ve done.

Fortunately, most of the time whenever I finish something I send an email to whoever requested the thing I did, which leaves a nice electronic trail in my sent folder. And some of the things I do, like creating Wincross Tables can take several hours over a couple of days.

Some days are a mystery.

I got it mostly figured out. Now I need to enter the time in our tracking program.

That said, I’m done for the day.

I am writing this at work, the last thing I do before I leave, so I can go home and NOT turn on my computer.

*I’ve tried other ways to record my time, the writing it on my daily calendar works best. It keeps all the meetings and stuff I scheduled on the calendar, which helps me further by letting me know where I was during mystery times.

Fugue State

By · Leave a Comment

I read several novels this weekend. Six full ones since Friday. Well, since last Thursday I’ve finished Eight Novels. (I might have started one of those books on Wednesday, I really can’t remember, they are all melding in together, and five of the books are part of the same Series).

Eight books in four days.

So that was what I did this weekend. Read.

I also watched some Top Shot with Edmund. And slept a lot.

Ok. It wasn’t really a FUGUE State. In that I didn’t have amnesia (other than not remembering WHEN I read each book, but I don’t think that counts.) But I was singularly unwilling to fire up the ol’ computer and go online. I only checked the interwebs in a cursory sort of way from my phone. (I didn’t get any cool emails anyway.)

I just couldn’t bring myself to go into my office. My butt was affixed to my barcalounger. And my eyes were glued to my Kindle.

Confession: I didn’t publish a lounge last week. The first time since I started the lounge. The worst part, I have three in the can, so I have no excuse.

Maybe I’m a little depressed. Or I needed a recharge or something. [I am still taking my anti-depressant and seeing my therapist, no worries.]

So. Feeling better today. Other than being hot and sweaty. (My home office does not have AC.) A new lounge will be up on Thursday. And now I’m going to write at least one email I’ve put off writing.

Nothing to See Here, Move Along

By · Leave a Comment

Aha! So. I’m posting this on Monday, but back-dating it to Sunday. Just like I did for Yesterday’s (Saturday’s post). This so I can maintain my spotless posting-every-day record. (AKA: Cheating.) I have a good (flimsy) excuse. Which I will post on Monday AS the Monday Post. (So if you are following in real-time, it will be just a few minutes.)

In case you’re wondering, I was kind of like this on Sunday:

Something Distracting

So you won’t notice I didn’t post this until Monday (and back dated it so it looked like I posted it on Saturday, like I was supposed to).

This is fun AND informative:

Also, this amuses me:

Time-Bending Post

By · Leave a Comment

So. I forgot to post on Thursday. Well, I remembered as I went to bed last night but fell asleep before I could do anything about it.

To maintain my perfect record of posting every day since late October 2011, I am cheating.

This is a time-bending cheat post.

Deal with it.

As with most time-bending cheat posts, it is mostly about its time-bendy cheaty-ness.

What can I say, I’m supposed to be working right now.

Break over, back to work, people.

On a Bus to Portland

By · Leave a Comment

I came back earlier than I originally intended, mainly because I realized it was insane to take a bus from NYC after midnight, switch over in Boston at 5:45 am and then go to work. Instead I took a train (luxurious!) to South Station, and now I’m on the bus to South Station. I’ll get home before I was supposed to leave.

Anyway, I am on the bus, trying to watch Wreck-It Ralph. There are a couple of gorgeous college kids flirting behind me. Loudly. It’s sweet and all that, but I wish they’d be quieter.

Glad to be headed home. Miss my husband and my kitties.

Fun with #140You and NYC

By · Leave a Comment

Had a great #140You. And got two lounges recorded.

Great evening with pal Karen.

Frankly, too busy enjoying myself to write a longer post.

Later.

Computer Post!

By · Leave a Comment

I have booted up my computer. I am still in Queens. Worked remotely today, have a wired connection and everything.

Tomorrow is the #140You Conference. It starts early so I’m going to get up early.

Yikes.

My pal Karen has two cats that were rescued from the streets. They are not sure they like me very much. I’ve been here since Saturday and it was only today that I was able to see that one of the kitties did truly have only three legs. I think I moved too quickly and she bolted back to the bedroom.

Karen is making me some dinnah.

Having a great time!
