It's Friday AND I'm getting ready for vacation! Super busy week with lots of stress, but it's going to be worth it.
On my way out of the office, a coworker I don't know well stopped me with a question. I was momentarily concerned that it was some kind of legal emergency, but she wanted to know my skincare regimen because she thinks I have good skin. Unexpected compliment beats a Friday afternoon emergency by a long shot!
Got a few nights of having the bed to myself and keeping my own hours, then Boyfriend came back, and I had the best sleep I've had in weeks.
I was a total bum yesterday, sleeping in and then alternating between napping and reading in bed until 4. It was amazing.
Today was the opposite, and it was also amazing. Did laundry and dishes, made brownies to welcome a new coworker tomorrow, took care of Henry's teeth and nails, started a little bit of packing for Korea, went to the office, unpacked and set up Henry's new dog gate, plowed through a fair chunk of work and personal email, worked on two drafts and presos, made a silly frame for a ridiculous certificate from the Bar, and took Henry on a long walk.
The simple deliciousness of cheddar cheese on a slice of bread, toasted, can withstand decades of palate changes.
Work picnic with my former team: I got to catch up with everyone without the stress of dealing with any legal issues. I miss them, so it was good to see everyone, get some sun, eat some fresh tacos and ice cream... Happy Friday!
New pedicure (I can wear sandals without shame), and new work computer (it's so much smaller that my computer bag feels empty).
Henry sometimes has his own agenda, which is often more entertaining than the one we had planned. Tonight was a good case in point.
Humans: Let's sit and watch TV.
Henry: I'm going to madly lick your feet.
Humans: Let's get ready for bed.
Henry: Chase me! Look at my fox squeaky toy! Mine! Mine!
Went to see Andrew Bird with Boyfriend and two friends over the weekend. It was a beautiful night at an outdoor venue, and we had a really sweet parking spot that got us out and home way faster than expected.
Happy birthday to me! Took the day off, slept in, bought a few things at Nordstrom, got a surprise flower delivery from Boyfriend, took a nap, and had chocolate chip pancakes and a Pimm's cup for dinner. Real dinner coming up later this week.
Taking tomorrow off for my birthday! No plans, just a random Tuesday with my work email turned off, maybe a pedicure if I feel motivated...
Several years into my allergy shots, and it still continues to amaze me when I'm able to breathe easily through both nostrils at the same time. It took decades for me to find out that people live like this.
In case I ever need a laugh, I should think about the time Boyfriend had a mouth suck in his ear, or the time a bird pooped all over the inside of his car, even though the window was only cracked open.
Based on all of the desperate sniffing and whining and the frantic high-fiving and rolling over, I'm guessing that the new brand of dog biscuits is amazing.
