The Perfect Friday to be Unemployed

Good Afternoon, Kittens.

How's work? Did your co-worker eat lots of garlic for lunch and is now invading your personal space with her stinky breath and boring critique of your boss' latest fashion faux pas? Aw. Sorry.

As for me, I was a bit hungover this morning, but I managed to get to the salon on time and am now perfectly coifed and ready for a night on the town.

Then, I walked to lovely Cleveland Park and had lunch on the patio at Alero. Blue sky. Breeze. 76 degrees. Alero Salad. Margaritas. Per.Fec.Tion.

See:
Marg!Alero salad!

On the way home, I availed myself of the opportunity to start Unemployment Plan A. I bought one lottery ticket. Wish me luck.

Now, I'm chillin' at home until Eric from Baltimore arrives. Then, we're venturing forth to Nellie's to meet the gang for SuperCheap Happy Hour Drinks. After drinks, we're heading over to Jerry's to watch the Olympic Opening Ceremony. Good times.

Have a fabuliciuos day! Only 2.5 more hours of work.

*smooches*

ps. There is some good news. One of my EPA applications has been referred to the selection official at EPA. *w00t*

I'm Back (from Vacation)

 I'm back. I will be posting about my vacation soon.  Well, soonish ... maybe this weekend.  I dunno. Also, I came back to a big pile of stress at work.  Good times. Can I go on vacation again?  (Why, yes. Yes, I can.  I'll be flying to Atlanta for Pesach.  Just the weekend.  Not the whole dang thing.  My body needs gluten. And, then, a quick trip to NC in early May to see the 'rents.) ANYWAY.  Israel and Latvia posts coming up. Stay tuned. Or just look at the pix on my IG. *hugz*

Too Early But Not Early Enough

 6:00AM. With the new normal, I should be on a bus to the metro station, where I board a train and then another train to arrive at my office bright and early and chipper as a newborn squirrel. Today is special, though.  It's Pottery Class Registration Day.  Which is surprisingly competitive.  The DMV has too many Type A Soccer Moms (and Dads). In order to register for class, I have to log on at 6:30AM and hope the Pottery Gods are kind to me in the registration queue.  We shall see ... so exciting. After I register, I will then board a bus and a train ... and another train to get to my office.  Depending on what time I arrive, I will either work late (ugh) or take some leave (also, ugh).  Being totally honest, I will more than likely take leave because I hate being at work late.   This would be a perfect day to telework.  If we were allowed to telework.  Too bad Danger Yam (as one of my mutuals calls He Who Must Not Be Named) thinks...

If We Took a Holiday ...

 Happy Presidents' Day! Since I last posted, so much has happened ... I think.   I was going to bake my parents heart-shaped biscuits, because -when we were wee lads- my mom used to bake my brother and I heart-shaped biscuits on Valentine's morning.  They were not as good as the biscuits I make now. However, after I grated the frozen butter in my food processor, I tipped it out into the flour and the handle on the food processor broke.  The bowl fell into the flour.  I dug out a few pieces of plastic and a spring, and I threw it all in the trash.  I called the manufacturer.  They are sending me a new bowl ... in 2-3 weeks.  UGH.  HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO MAKE BISCUITS NOW?!?!? The SigNoth caught a cold, so Valentine's Day was even more of a bust.  Not that I really buy into the whole pseudo-holiday thing anyway. Saturday, I did my taxes. Refund, yay!  And, I ordered some nice stationery.  I thought it would be fun to use my fa...
