Cold Weather Wussy
Birds have the right idea - fly south for the winter. And I'm not even in an area that gets truly "cold" in the winter. For a while, I was doing well even as it got chilly... all this extra blood flow from bebeh, I guess. But this week for some reason I have been FREEZING. I'm the only one in this part of the office so I bumped up the heat even further. That helped partly, but my feet and legs were still freezing, so I raided the supply closet for the small heater the boss had told me I could use if I needed it.
Now my feet are all toasty warm... The joys of not being in a cubicle full of paperwork where a heater would be a serious safety hazard. I like my office - it's open to the hallway and such, but I have a wall full of windows and lots of comfort items. We will be remodeling a bit in the next couple of months and boss keeps asking me if my work chair is comfortable and if I need a better one.
Speaking of the office, I need to call HP to ask about the envelope specs on the printer I want to order. It is ULTRA nice to work somewhere that when your equipment is wearing out or breaks, the boss' response is "go find a new one right now." Not in two weeks or a month or oh, you don't REALLY need that to work do you?
I hope being cold all the time doesn't mean I'm getting sick or something. I didn't feel terribly well last night and ended up going to bed very early.
Yesterday was J1's 12th birthday. He is rather happy with his loot, although he is at that age where folks are starting to opt for giftcards or money instead of gifts because even WE can't keep up with his book collection. Normally we do a big out-to-eat bash where the birthday boy picks the restaurant, but with the budget a bit tight, he picked out supper instead - and even cooked 2/3's of it (mostly himself). amajos stopped by with a present and got a big giant kid hug because she is feeding his greatest addiction - she got him a Barnes & Noble giftcard. ;-)
Today is the Big Ultrasound, providing bebeh cooperates. Depending on measurements, they may readjust my due date.
