Well, it's Monday.

I thought I would wake up after a weekend away refreshed and ready to take on my workday. 

Instead I woke up cranky and frustrated, and cried the whole way into work.  WTH is wrong with me--I hope it passes soon. 

But I will (finally) come home to new gutters on the house, so that is great.  

What's on tap for your Monday?

waiting for my remicade infusion to finish so I can get back to work. mondays are always pretty busy with new consults, so while paid sick leave is kind of awesome I need to rethink my schedule here. I don't have time to watch this drip drip drip.

Work is busy today, but I'm totally distracted by our 3:30 release. Can't wait to get home!

We're enjoying well above average temperatures in my area, so I'm planning on getting outside for a run at lunch to take advantage.

My boss is on vacation this week, so I'm enjoying a low key office.

irene adler, sorry to hear about Monday blues

I feel like I have a cloud hovering around my noggin. A little like the Grumpy Care Bear.

@rennido, that is so awesome.

You know when you find something really really annoying and you can't put your finger on *why* something gets under your skin? It's strangely uplifting to have a name for it. Thanks to my TAL kick, the episode I am currently listening to has a segment on internet trolls/internet comments. One segment was on commentary about the use of vocal fry by the young female reporters. I am strangely villified knowing the actual word/that vocal fry is a thing.

And a bit horrified by how much I fall into doing it. eek.

I'm so happy I'm working from home tomorrow!!

I volunteered to work Saturday....it was gorgeous and a record high of 66 degrees. Sucks to be me! As a result, I'm not doing much today.

I learned I can redeem my employers points I earn from my fit bit for a Hyatt gift card. That can be used in Hawaii. It led me down a glorious wormhole.

I just spent 3 hours in the truck listening to Mr. P tell me about work which then transitioned into his new fish/garden tanks he is going to build. I all heard was blah, blah, blah, $$$, building an ecosystem, growth mediums, tilapia like it hot, sumps, worms, $$$, blah, blah.

Science nerds are cute though.

I will be rewarded later by meeting up with cousins in Houston and going to a sports bar for drinks, snacks, and more drinks. Then we get to play with their Wheaten Terrier, Oscar and he is the cutest dog ever.

Hugs to everyone with the Monday blues... and hey, you snow travelers be careful out there!

For the most part, I have been on the healthy eating bandwagon since January 1. Now that I am in a good food groove, I want to start adding in exercise. So this morning I started by walking on the treadmill in the basement. I was feeling good, rocking out to some fun music, when my phone rings. It was DS1's school. They asked that I come get him because of possible pink eye.

Took him to the doctor and it is viral pink eye. Ugh.

Why does the universe want me to stay chunky?

There is no way I'm going to win the dietbet this week. Bummer. I feel like I actually did pretty well for the most part, I just would have had to be PERFECT to get there and I can't be perfect OR get upset that I'm not.

This weekend was so busy, I'm bummed that it's another week already. It was my nephew's first birthday so we drove to Chicago and back in 2 days, and had about 24 hours of family time in between. It was a lot of fun but I'm exhausted after being busy for 2 days solid. It didn't help that I started drinking at noon on Saturday and ended up drinking waaay too much over the course of the next 10 hours (the party ended at 5 so I made it that far without getting overly drunk). I should know better than to start drinking that early because I won't stop, which is why it's better if I don't start until a few hours before bed What was that I was saying about losing the diet bet? lol.
