7 things about today
1. It is absolutely frigid in my office today. And I'm wearing such a cute little dress. But I have to cover it up with my big ugly sweater so I don't get frostbite and lose a limb or something. What a sad state of affairs.
2. I still have a cough. Everyone I know has a different theory. Allergies, lingering virus, allergies, SARS, allergies, bronchitis, allergies. If I hear the allergies theory one more time, though, I might just shoot someone. I have had bad allergies to pollen, dust, mildew, cat fur, you name it, ever since I was a small child. I'm aware that right now is the height of the pollen and other airborne blooming materials in the air. Ergo, my allergies are at their height. But never in my life have my allergies included a hacking cough. Ah well. My doctor couldn't shed any light on it, and the cough is only mildly irritating a couple of times a day. Whatever.
3. Today I have no cash. I am a space cadet, and I apparently left my card in the ATM on July 2, when I last withdrew cash. I discovered this fact on July 4 when I went to get some cash. Whoops. I cancelled the card, and no fraudulent transactions were made thank goodness. But now I must wait the 7 to 10 business days for the new card. I plan on getting some cash from Kevin in exchange for a check, but I forgot to do that. So I was without my coffee this morning. Which leads right into 4. below.
4. I had one last packet of instant oatmeal here in my cube when I got to work this morning. I was really looking forward to it. But my caffeine-less limbs and brain were not so much working together, and I managed to dump the entire packet on the kitchen floor. Which meant I left a huge mess (I scooped up what I could, but there was no broom or anything for me to sweep it up) AND I went hungry. Who loves a Monday?
5. Dr. Pepper is a gift from the deities direct to my mouth.
6. Sometimes work just really stinks, and there's nothing you can do about it but grin and bear it.
7. Extended periods of grinning can really mess up your jaw.
