What sort of place are you looking for, Dana? What kind of food, what price range, etc.?

Day 3
Sorry about the green. My pencil broke. This is crayon so if you cannot read it sorry. So beware of messy handwriting. So today I have bad news and good news. The good news is I got a leaf blower. No more sweatpants for me! The bad news is I don't have any shorts. I wear sweatpants all year around because of leaves. Now I don't have any shorts. I can't go outside without pants. I hope no one gives me any wedgies. Uh-oh, I just remembered that there is a bully at my school! And even worse! I'm considered a nerd!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh mean, Leif.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I'm pretty much wide open, Hil. Nothing super-fancy or super-expensive. A place where I could get a cocktail would be nice, but not necessary.

Trust my rage
I mean, I know the timing got screwed up, but it's not like you're malingering.
NPR has been doing these pieces this week on flex schedules. The first one I heard was about 95% about how well it works (generally) when people work from home or on their own schedules. But then it ends with the statement that "most people can't shake the feeling that their employees aren't doing anything if they can't see them." Working from home stresses me out for that reason. I know I'm doing stuff, but I'm sort of anxious to make sure that everyone else sees what I've done so they know I'm not malingering or watching TV in my sweats.
I'm loving Leif's story. Leif is allergic to leaves!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I've been on work trips like that. Even if you get out for a couple walks around the block in the morning before breakfast, it's worth it.
One of the favorite walks I had was at a Tucson "resort hotel" where a hotel-employed guide would take you on a half-hour nature walk at 7 AM. Energized me for the rest of the day!
