Back from working an overnight shift, coveering for a staff member whose mother died last week. i managed to get some paperwork crap done and some important paperwork done. By crap I mean, "Ya know how we were doing these files two years ago, then we went to doing all that online so we streamlined the hardcopy files from four binders down to one? Yeah, now we want you to break all that up into four binders again. You must use THESE two-inch binders. No, you aren't going to put more stuff in them, there is no reason why the binders have to be that big. But yes, you have to keep them in the area where staff set up people's meds. No, we just think you don't have enough to do," crap.

I had Graeter's Ice cream! They had it at the grocery store. Bourbon Pecan chocolate chip. soooo good and very boozy

Oooh, ice cream!

Possibly I need more sleep.

I haven't tried that one! But I need to. Yum!

I love a bourbon chocolate pecan pie, so that sounds amazing.

Right now I'm so hot and sweaty all I can think about eating is a frozen yogurt mint chocolate chip bar. The humidity is ramping up for summer and I just spent six hours carefully deconstructing the middle third of a tomb roof with my two colleagues. We did good for two brokedown 40-somethings and a pregnant lady. At one point I was sitting on the roof of a neighboring tomb with my legs almost in a straddle split reaching down into the tomb to haul out a 1/2" thick piece of slate 36"x 36". I wrote "demo and general badassery" on my timesheet.

For reals, though, I love that job.

Fourth trip to the doc in 2 weeks today.

Beekaytee, I hope the anti's and pro's help and keep you away from the doc for a third time.

That does sound like some paperwork BS.

Bourbon Pecan chocolate chip

OMG...that sounds utterly delicious and so completely against my food plans. I have been splurging way too much lately, so I'm buckling down and trying so hard to resist temptation.

Today, CJ and I have been talking about his need to make plans in order to reach his academic and future career goals. I was advocating for listing goals and then breaking them down into smaller goals and then breaking those down to activities and putting them on a calendar. He is so fly by the seat of his pants that this planning stuff is hard to conceive. This then lead to a discussion of my job and how I'm involved in project planning, and breaking the project into tasks and schedule and so forth. I don't think he realized that was part of what I do and that is why I approach things by making lists. In his mind I still do just accounting and playing with numbers. Ok, yes, I do play with numbers but it is more on the analysis side than the processing side. Anyway, not sure if I convinced him to let me help him develop a plan to get through school. His 2 year AA is looking to be a 4 year, minimum, AA.

TCG's stepmother was hospitalized and had surgery today for a bowel blockage. She's doing well, but any ~ma you can spare for a quick recovery would be great.

I made egg custard pie. and the crust. It was kind of a disaster, mostly from not having a pie pan and having to use a flimsy disposable one that wasn't deep enough.

Also I don't like egg custard when it's warm so I'll see how I feel tomorrow after it's been in the fridge. Pie crust turned out ok

~ma for TCG's stepmother.
