I took a break from working to take CB over to play with her best buddy and drink a glass of wine and try on corsets. The dogs got filthy playing in the slushy yard but much fun was had by all. Now I need to try to get some more work done. I did finish my annual evaluation before I left so I feel like I accomplished something!
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

My mother is headed down to where her mother is and she and her sister are going to look at hospice options.

huh, I posted that 15 minutes ago and I just came back to post it again. brain not working.
I am so unmotivated to do this performance review. 1-2 goals - find a new job.
I am, however, very good at bullshitting. I hope they are pleased with my answers and give me a gold star.

I went to the optometrist. My eyes are fine and my prescription hasn't changed. I then blew through the rest of my FSA ordering glasses I technically don't need, but I don't have any with transition lenses, so... I used it before I lost it?

So I celebrated my birthday by getting up at 5:45 for a run in the cold and the dark, and taking Dad to the urologist. But then we had a decent lunch at a little brewpub and bought some books at a used bookstore (I got a first-edition Andre Norton novel for old time's sake), so that was pleasant.
Next I will take a nap, then watch last night's Sleepy Hollow and the most recent episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which is my new favorite comedy. Andre Braugher is the awesomest.
And then I will go out to dinner with my sister and a friend at a shmancy place in Jack London Square. I may be unemployed, but at least I can eat well...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have lived here 10 days, and am totally becoming That Lady! I am about to send a strongly worded email to a higher-up at Citibank about their policies. Since I only get statements online, they want to charge me $5 for a copy of a check more than 18 months old. In olden times they would have mailed me all my checks back! For free! And I would have had them!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Happy birthday, Consuela! Urology aside, it sounds like a fab day!

Happy birthday, Consuela! That sounds like a good day!
My day totally just turned around: I asked the CSR at the bank for an email of someone higher up I could complain to, and by the time she came back, she was waiving the fees! And emailing them to me instead of paper mailing them! Complaining works!!
