Natter 74: Ready or Not
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

It is not even 7 yet, clearly I could do more (list to follow), but all I want to do is sit and consume media.

pack lunch for tomorrow
put away toiletries in bag on kitchen floor
do a load of laundry
fold and put away dried clothes I took to room
My meetings started at 9am and the last one ends at 6:30pm, so I'm not getting home until after 8pm and nothing is getting done except for what I need to set up for tomorrow morning.
I have culling clothes on my To Do list since there's a Goodwill donation drop at my office tomorrow, but who knows if that actually will happen.
60 degrees today. 84 degrees on Saturday. 62 degrees on Sunday. Yay, spring!
Boise's quite nice. Vibrant arts scene (my friend there is active in the arts, theater and dance community, as well as local politics, and she's a lefty.) but it does do Winter.
My headache progressed to blurred vision due to the pain being so sharp, focusing my right eye was too much. But I had a meeting I couldn't miss, so I just unfocused on the tabletop the whole time. And someone tried to commit my swim time. Uh, no. My role isn't that critical and if you're accomodating other people's family schedules, you can accommodate mine. I'm not going to be your sacrificial SINK workhorse.
God I love this city. An innocent man finally was exonerated and walked free, there was a real penguin at a bar that was serving beer named after it and raising $ for its cause and Laura Lippmann is threatening to fictionally muderize a delivery service over cold dinner. And everyone seems to be losing their minds over the rain.
Still no shelves.
When I got home from work, I went to sleep for 40 minutes. Argh. So tired. And I cut my cable, so I'm reduced to listening to the Warriors game.
You know, the worst thing about Trump may be that he's making the media think Ann Coulter is relevant again. Look, in a twisted way I admire her ability to make a living by just saying crazy shit, but c'mon media she's just a person saying crazy shit to make money and adds nothing meaningful to the national conversation.
At least someone like Bill Crystal brings something useful by being reliably wrong every single time. I could set a clock by that man and know for absolutely certain what time it isn't.
Right, game. Let's see what I can do about that.
I went from work to buy gas and then to buy cat food and that was next to a Trader Joe's and I had a little time so I made some groceries, and then Tai Chi [Cloud Hands through Golden Rooster Standing on One Leg, intense class] and just got home. Fed critters. I think that's gonna have to do it for today.
Well, the TNT app on my iPad is showing the halftime report, at least. That's promising.
That sucks Suela. Where are the damn shelves??
I accomplished...uh...not much this evening. Worked fairly hard today work-wise but it's a very frustrating mess for the most part. Was v proud though that I managed to find our company's official "position paper" that explained whether we do something or not (and I was right about our policy!!) and it had the form to complete to send it to someone, so thankfully THAT mess should now become our clients (they were freaking out that they thought we were saying two different things. We weren't, but they were thinking of something they'd been told several years ago on another project, I guess? Anyway, if they were right it would've been a huge hassle for us. It might still be a huge hassle for THEM, if their policies say X has to be done. But OUR policies say X does not.)
But then I managed to not only have frozen custard on the way home (it's delicious and just reopened, I have to support the new management lest they close again!) AND a frozen fruit bar at home AND then several large spoonfuls of lemon curd straight from the jar. Because yum.
