Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The shopping bag I keep in my purse goes in a little attached bag that says, "I need an extra day after Sunday. I shall call it notreadyformonday-day," and that's about right.

Zero chance of getting anything done unless I close the FB tab, so I did it. Rage overload is really distracting me from being productive. Have to focus on the stuff I have some degree of control over.

"I need an extra day after Sunday. I shall call it notreadyformonday-day,"

I so need this. I had a busy weekend for me, which involved doing two things- going goodwill shopping with my BFF and going on a tour of Mount Hope Cemetary with work people. We got to see Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass, and the lawyer who defended Susan B Anthony AND warned Frederick Douglass to get out of the country quick, because US MArshals thought he was part of planning the Harper's Ferry Raid. Also the registrar who registered Susan B. Anthony to vote. It was pretty cool, and it is also a lovely park like settging

That sounds awesome.

I am back in my own home. The funeral was really nice. Having to shake the hand of everyone who attended, nsm.

My dad is healing really well, and is doing pretty well otherwise. He really misses my mom. There's still lots to resolve about his care.

And in the ugh, it's monday vibe, I'm supposed to go back to work tomorrow, but I think I need another day. If I had a cube to hide in, maybe I could do it, but not in the open office.

I'm off to see if the UPS store still has my lawnmower, because my yard is a meadow!

Nice, Sophia. That sounds like an excellent cemetery tour.

Good that you are home, Sue. No doubt there is a very long list of things to catch up on that will keep you distracted for a while. I'm so sorry about your poor dad. I am sure he is at a complete loss.

I've adulted so hard today! Went to see the GI doc and scheduled my colonoscopy for next Tuesday. I like all the people at that office and they didn't even make me work on their systems. Also contacted one of my cardiologist customers to schedule another test so I can show my PCP how super diligent I am about my health. If I schedule my mammo too he might have palpitations from the excitement of me listening to him for a change.

Yeah, that sounds familiar. Glad you're home. Is there any way you can take another day?

Good for you, Laura!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

The new sitter is here, and I have a list of things I should be doing. But a nap may win because it's cold and damp today and everything hurts. However, I made 5 onerous phone calls this morning. So still sort of productive.

5 onerous phone calls absolutely calls for a nap!

5 onerous calls is impressive!

I got tagged for a last minute work trip starting early Wednesday morning. I'm going straight from there to a personal weekend trip. I am now panicking I'm forgetting something I need to do. (So far on the list: get suit drycleaned (happening right now), do laundry, get meds refilled.
