What are you up to today?
I've got to get blood work done this morning, so I'm working until I can head over there and it's killing me. No coffee is no bueno. Otherwise, just a normal wednesday.
I have to give training at work today and I'm trying not to panic. I don't feel prepared, didn't sleep well, and it's a tough crowd. I'll be really glad when it's over!
I TA this morning and was supposed to write an assignment last night. I forgot. I'm cramming it in now before I have to leave; luckily, it's mostly written.

I can't function on no coffee! Hope the bloodwork is easy.
I just got a UPS shipping notification that my new chromebook is out for delivery! I have a tiny old HP laptop that I use for work except I hate the thing. There is a software bug so whenever you close it or it goes to sleep, it won't wake up! You have to restart. Pretty awful when most of what I use it for is walking around checking talking maps. So my boss told me to get a new one. I only really use it to remote into my desktop or use google docs, so I just got a chromebook. I'm such a geek. It feels like Christmas morning to me!
Also, DH and I have started daydreaming about building on our lot. I'm going to call the bank soon and get all the specifics about a construction loan so we can save for the downpayment! Our mortgage on the duplex is SUPER low but rents here are crazy. We could get 5x what we pay in mortgage in rent, so it actually makes sense to build. You know we already have it mostly designed. HA!
All the single family's in our neighborhood are small railroad-ish like this:
Inspiration: So we are thinking of a very modern take on a gabled roof like this:

bunnymendelbaum, I love the one on the right (I'm huge into glass and windows).
We're heading to Cornwall this afternoon (H is hoping to sneak out early). It's a long drive but will be worth it. H is getting his open water scuba certification and I'm reactivating my certification as I haven't done any diving in a while. AND we're going on a shark dive. I can't wait!

I slept like poop last night so I'm just trying to make it through the day. It's my SO's birthday so I have to go home and whip up a nice meal. I just want to go nap.
I ordered tile for the decorative backsplash behind the stove today. Shipping was almost as much as the tile. I think I'm having buyers remorse due to just how much shipping was. I keep telling myself that it's going to look gorgeous when done.
