I just got back from the market too and it seems like all the prices have gone up and nothing I needed was on sale.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

I have a job interview on Friday, that includes a "logic" test, and a "contract exercise". Plus, they want a writing sample.

I just made chicken soup, so I would have something for lunches, and now it's time to make brownies for Golden Globe watching.

While the computer does it thing, I am de-Christmasing the house. Outside was almost all complete last week, ornaments were put up during the week, but today the trees came down, antivirus, Angels, set around stuff all being put up. Thus far 3 bins and 1 tree box out to the garage. I even swept the area the bins are stored and moved the outdoor stuff I had previously put away. I am taking breaks for some football and also getting some laundry done. Oh and vacuuming the room where the big tree was and rearranging the furniture. I need a weekend where I feel I actually get things completed, not just started and left in pieces all over the house.

Now I am going through a bin of paper since I can do that sitting down and I need a break. Any reason I should keep Cobra docs from 2010 or the moving contract from ny to tx?

I can understand the contract and writing exercises, but...a logic test?? Like, what kind of questions and we talking? So weird.

I think I can tell the days are getting longer. It seems to me that it's lighter at 5 PM than it was, but solstice was barely three weeks ago.

Ugh I'm wishing we had devised a test to give one of my co-workers to have figured out what kind of a negative asshole he is. He came across as confident but friendly in the interview not overly confident and relentlessly nay-saying.

So of course when I went out to get the work laptop in case the ice storm materializes, I slipped on some ice and fell. Scuff and some bruising, but fine. It's just deliciously stupid.

I've decided to structure my class around food this semester and I love the name the anti detox diet. Not that I am going to try it even though it looks good. Too much work to follow a strict diet. But I'll console myself that we do generally eat home cooked foods and lots of fruit, veg, and high fiber.
