Way to go, Kathy! So proud of you.

Just got into an hour-long phone conversation about criminal background checks.

Wut. I'm scared to ask.

My onerous tasks for this evening are: pay bills, submit FSA reimbursement claims, and maybe migrate files from my external hard drive to my Mac.

Dear MS Word: you continue to suck hard core. No love, moi

Yeah, go you, Kathy! I still haven't been arsed to see if the pool is back open. It surely is by now.

Onerosity: engage! You will note how I dawdled getting in here this morning to avoid having to check in and start onerousing.

Yesterday on the way to work I bought a fruit smoothie. I didn't open and drink it until we were about an hour into the drive. It had an odd consistency, so I shook it again, and took another sip. Nope, still bad. Checked the date. It was 20 days past the expiration date! By the time we got an hour and a half into the drive, it was clear it was making me sick, so we turned around and came home. Three hours in the car for nothing, and the rest of the day spent in bed with combined menstrual and food poisoning gastrointestinal distress. Thank goodness for rice cooked in chicken broth, that's all the more I'll say about that.

Anyway. So it's good today is onerous task day, because I need it. Task goals: year end reports, clean freezer, put away socks, clean bedroom. But if I just get the first done, or close to done, I'm calling it a good day.

Well, I should be able to manage socks, too.

Kathy, you rock.

Wut. I'm scared to ask.

I'll tell you later. You know my job, so you can probably figure it out, or close enough. WHO DRIVES ME CRAZY AND WOULD SEND PEOPLE TO CAMPUS OF DUBIOUS CHARACTER WHO MIGHT, IDK, STEAL THINGS AND GET CAUGHT? Yeah.

I have lots of socks to put away, too. Weird. Damn socks.

Damn socks.

Seriously. What is up, socks?

I am happy it is onerous task day because I was heading toward a day of doing nothing and then shame spiraling. I need to get stuff out of my house. Many potential things to mail:

insurance claims
non-family holiday cards (what? better late, right?)
gifties

so, I'll be getting on that as soon as I shower.

My socks never seem to dry thoroughly when I do laundry, so I agree--damn socks!!

Lunch today is from the cafeteria, and is quite yummy: tilapia stuffed with crabmeat and cheese. I also got a small scoop of potatoes on the side, but I'll probably just have a forkful of that and then toss the rest after I finish the fish.

non-family holiday cards (what? better late, right?)

Yes, I just got one from friends in AZ and it was a joy to receive.

Totally better late, msbelle.

What is up, socks?

I do this when it's a big pile of various white socks of the boys. Too hard to pair them up, so they sort of languish in a basket somewhere. Which is why I like my socks of many colors and prints, because finding their mates is easy.

OMG PERKINS FUCKING ROCKS MORE THAN ANYTHING!
