I ended up reading most of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance while cat sitting - kitty demanded company while eating and liked petting and cuddles. I ended up reading most of Ayn Rand in my 'teens.
For book recommendations, how about The Kaiju Preservation Society. It's fairly light, as such things go and I enjoyed it a lot.
I am currently all alone in the office ... the main downside is that every five to seven minutes, the lights go out and I have to scoot away from my desk to wave my hands in the air to get them back on. Seemingly, it's something I have to live with.
Toddson that sounds annoying but maybe it’s a new alternative to a treadmill desk, forcing you to move? :)
Dana that sounds awful. Good grief.
I was leading a meeting Saturday morning (see above) and after an hour, someone's phone went off with an alarm that he should stand up and stretch. So I had us all stand up and stretch! It was a good idea. 5-7 minutes is far too often for that, though!
That's funny, Jesse -- I love that. Toddson, my boss at BoA a hundred years ago that that issue in her office... but it was light enough so that half the time, she'd just sit there in the dimness, and when I'd walk in, she'd be like, "Oh, thank you..." like I had just paid to get her electric turned back on. It was pretty funny.
Had a really fun reunion weekend this past weekend. (msbelle, I saw Dani briefly and got to share that and how you and I knew each other. We had the funniest exchange, which was basically, "We never really hung out in college, yet I've always been drawn to you!" "I know, me, too!" And hugs. It was good.)
Now for work. I also have a three-hour dentist appointment for a crown today. Blergh.
Crowns don't have to be bad ... root canals, however .... (which require a crown)
Yeah, I had the root canal a couple of weeks ago, and I have to say -- easy as pie and not a bit of pain afterwards. The crown's not bad; it just takes forrrrevvvverrrrr. Honestly, I'm lucky to be getting a crown; the endodontist wasn't sure that would be possible, which would have meant an extraction and all that follows that. He also did a bit of the build up that the dentist would've needed to do, so he was pretty proud of himself by the end. He said, "I made Dr. A's job easier!"
Lol so my sister was on a weight loss drug study like I am but hers ended a few weeks ago. So no more drugs. I was asking how she’s doing and she said she even lost a little more weight…but it was probably because she had two root canals, temporary crowns, and plans for permanent ones, over the past couple/next couple weeks. I will pass on that diet plan please!
Aw JenP, fun.
Really: the reunion, not the dental work.
Ha, yeah, meara, that's not a diet plan I'd subscribe to.
Dentist waiting room now. It's always freezing in this office, so I have to dress like I'm visiting Alaska even on 80° days.
Cereal:
I think the most painful part just happened, which was paying for it. Sheesh. And I have decent dental... I mean, comparatively.
