Tuesday is the New Monday

Good morning, Kittens!
 
And, we are back to work!  (yay.)
 
Yesterday was super-fun and busy.  In the morning, after A left (or should I say "came and went?" *ahem*), I ironed my shirts for the week.  However, after burning myself twice on the iron, I decided the Ironing Gods were displeased and didn't want me to do any more.  So I stopped.
 
Then, I heading to DC to meet Nida and Mike (Who Makes Cakes) for a lateish lunch at Guapos in Tenleytown ... except after waiting about 20 minutes for Mike, I texted him to see when he would be there and he was all "Oops.  I forgot.  Go ahead without me."  *sheesh*  Srsly.  I am beginning to wonder about his mental state.  We talked the evening before to set up the time/place.  At least Nida was there and we had a fun chat about life! 
 
After we parted, I had a little time to kill, so I went to the National Portrait Gallery and sat in the Courtyard for awhile.  I thought about wandering through the Norman Rockwell exhibit, but I didn't think I had enough time to see the whole thing.
 
Next, I went to the pottery studio ... I put the finishing touches on two mugs and I made three handbuilt mugs.  I was supposed to meet Date D for an after-pottery studio coffee (or something), but he texted and had to work late.  So, I headed home, ate a sandwich, and blobbed on the sofa for the rest of the evening.
 
All in all, a pretty full day off.  Yay!
 
Today, after work, I am getting re-blonded.  And, possibly, meeting my friend, Jerry, for drinks/dinner.  Suh-WEET!
 
Have a great day!  *smooches*

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 ...

12 of 12: It's Been a Long Time Edition

Image
Good Evening, Kittens. Look! It's my 12 of 12 for January ... Some of us have to get up at 5:30 AM ... even if the Evil Snow Shovelers are shoveling snow at 1:30AM and it wakes us up and keeps us up for an hour. Even though we get up at 5:30 AM ... sometimes we don't make it to the metro station until Much Later (*cough* 7:45 *cough*) ... but then we get on a train and it whizzes (*heh*) through the snowscape. Eventually (meaning "forEVER"), I arrive at work and see ... snow-covered bicycles. Check email. Eat breakfast. Die one thousand deaths before 9AM. Meetings. Paperwork. Incompetence. *ROWR* Creating survey. Annoying little pop-up thing that Won't. Go. Away. How cute are these boots? How CUTE are these BOOTS? Wandering around taking photos of damage in my building ... Don't Panic. It's almost Go Home Time. It's a good thing the Count of Monte Cristo is 3261 pages long. Red Line Delays on the way home. *ughz* Laundry! Icicle! And, soon. ...
