Cough with a Side of Hack

Good Morning, Kittens.

Am running a bit behind schedule, but I still have time for you, my luvvies.

Yesterday, as I was rushing around trying to get to the 6:30 bus which invariably arrives at the metro station just in time for me to watch my train leaving the station, I spilled coffee on my white shirt. GAH! Quick change time. Fortunately, I had another (previously worn) white shirt understudy waiting in the wings. Crisis averted.

Work was fine.

Except towards the end of the day I started to feel kind of crappy. Coughy. Icky. It got worse as I got home. I doped up on vitamin C, phoned in to the monthly Board meeting (what did we do before speakerphones?), ate some food, and hit the hay around 10:30.

Feeling a bit better this morning. We'll see what happens as the day wears on.

There's a field trip at work today (yay!). Then, I'm meeting my friend, Mike (not the one Who Makes Cakes, the one who was in Scotland for a couple years) for dinner.

I will totally miss my scheduled laundry time but it will be worth it.

Now, time to hit the shower and run around the house like a crazy person.

*smooches*

    I hope you feel better and don't succumb completely to the ick. Also, I'm sure your laundry will wait for you. Mine always waits for me.

    Twice over the past month I felt a cold on the verge of arriving. After 48 hours, though, it left. I hope it is the same for you.

    What I want to know is who made us sick. Someone's in need of blaming.

    I don't think I've ever 'missed' laundry time. Not done it when I had planned, but I've never missed it! ;-)

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*

Shaken. Bruised. And Just the Facts.

This is not the post I was intending to write this evening, but ... I need to write things down to sort them out in my head as best as possible. At approximately 2:50PM on my walk home from the metro station, I was attacked from behind. I have walked down Wayne Avenue at least twice a day for 5 years, at all hours of the day and night. I have always felt perfectly safe doing so. Even today didn't seem out of the ordinary. As I approached the intersection of Dale and Wayne, I passed a young black man in his early 20s. I made eye contact and nodded. I crossed Dale and heard a noise. I turned and saw someone running up Dale. That's when I noticed someone following me. I turned off my iPod and reached for my phone. And he jumped me, putting me in a chokehold and trying to pull me to the ground. I began hitting him over my shoulder with my large umbrella (which, sadly, is now in pieces). I hit myself in the head a couple times, too, and have a few lumps. He pulled me to the ...

Weekend Update: Thanks for the Memories, NYC!

Good afternoon, kittens! I am back from an ... eventful trip to New York City. I wish I could post more pictures, but, as you will learn in a bit, there is a Very Good Reason. On Friday, after work, I hopped on the Amtrak. It was uneventful ... except I lost my hat. Sad. I really liked that hat. Once, I arrived at Penn Station, I transferred to the subway and rode up to 50th Street. David was attending a show, so I found a little Irish bar, had a beer, and waited for the show to end. Eventually, he found me and we had a late dinner at a Mexican restaurant that was yummy and I have completely forgotten the name. Lime something? Lime Jungle? Something like that anyway. Then, we went back to David's fabulous apartment in Brooklyn. This is the kitchen: Even though it is bigger than my entire apartment, I am not jealous. The next morning, we got up and went to IKEA. David forced me to carry a 7000 pound futon frame for 58 miles through all 42 Burroughs of New York City. Seri...
