It's finally Friday! Work was really very annoying in the morning, but it got a little better in the afternoon. RJB and I got Indian food take out and are thinking it would be nice to go to Pintu's for lunch and have the buffet next Friday or some other day next week.
We might try to go to a movie or something this weekend.
On my way home I stopped at a drive through for dinner and ate dinner in bed and watched about 5 episodes at NCIS. I also folded laundry and ironed some clothes and cleaned my room a little. I have more laundry and ironing to do, but perhaps I'll have to do that tomorrow. I didn't do P90X today, but I'll do one tomorrow or maybe 2 to catch up if I do one in the morning and one at night.
Nothing else really exciting happened today. I spent all day at work and then the rest of the day watching TV in bed.

Did you have a nice day? Day 3
Well, another day. I got to work on time, but I was very tired this morning. I forgot to scoop Dippy last night, but she survived. I remembered to feed her this morning and Toby too.
At work I was super annoyed because I got a really annoying email first thing in the morning. I never understand why people insist on bringing up really aggravating things first thing in the morning when everyone is tired and cranky about being at work.
At lunch I went to the gas station and vacuumed some of my car and put air in my tires. There is a gas station down the road that has free vacuums and air. Then I got lunch at Arby's.
Someone from work did a walk through with an inspector for a house. She is going to buy it. How exciting for her. She's buying her first home. If I knew that I was going to stay in this area for the next few years I'd be looking at homes too. She locked in an interest rate of under 5%.
I finally finished the online renewals. Tomorrow morning we should be able to run the lists. I have a few little things to do like remove the report that is causing an error in our live system but we're using it for testing in our Play system.
I got home and did some dishes and I put in laundry. I also did day 2 of P90X. Then I took a shower and now I'm in bed watching TV. I think I'm about to have some popcorn.
I got to talk to Morgan for about 4 and a half minutes. She seems to have had a nice day. I'm tired and hungry. Popcorn then bed.

How was your day? Day 2
I was worried about getting out of the house on time this morning. Usually Morgan handles the morning pet routine: feed dippy, weigh and feed Toby and give him new hay. Not a lot, but it adds a few minutes. I also couldn't get to sleep last night even though I was really tired.
But, I woke up, took a shower, got dressed, fed and weighed the babies and got out of the house on time. Then, on the way to work there was a truck blocking the whole road. It was trying to back up, but it didn't really have enough room. I sat there in a line of cars (I was 3rd) for a good 2 minutes, watching and helping by saying things out loud like, "oooh, you're not going to make it" and "watch out for the curb, watch out for the tree!" I hit a moment where I thought he was never going to make it and I should go back and go around. Then 30 seconds later I saw that he was going to make it and was slowly backing up, but would be out of the way in about another 30 seconds. At that moment 2 cars, one in front of me and one in back of me chose to turn around and go another way. I was surprised because it was clear that we were about to move.
By the time the car in front of me had finished the U-turn in the middle of the road we were driving. It was strange. Even all that, I got to work 5 minutes early.
It was a quite day at work because HG, Marcie and Ed were all out of the office.
There was a little ruckus in the morning because AB had sent RJB a meeting request for 8:00am for a conference call, but AB did not show up until 8:45. Turns out the meeting was at 2:30 pm and AB forgot to change the meeting request from the default time.
I did learn that they are building a new Olive Garden in West Springfield. When it opens we are going to go there for lunch. It's supposed to open late November.
I did not finish the online renewals today like wanted, but I did get a lot of other things done. We also had a pretty good hour long conference call with the Salesforce implementer.
I got home around 6 and fed Dippy. I had a big bowl of corn and a giant slice of ice cream cake for dinner. Then I did a P90X work out. A word to the wise: don't do P90X after eating ice cream cake for dinner.
I got to talk to Morgan tonight! Except, half way through the conversation she stopped being able to hear me. I heard here saying, "hello? hello?" Then, all of a sudden she said, "oh, I'm sorry, I must have the wrong number." Yeah, google voice cut out in the middle of our call and connected her to someone else. Weird.
Anyway, now I'm off to bed. I can't wait until the weekend.

It's started...
Morgan has gone to California for a week. I'll be spending a lot more time at home when "my Mom's in the shower."
I do miss talking about my day, but she's not gone for long. The good news is, you get to hear it.
Got to work at 7:00am. It wasn't worth it to drive 30 minutes home, spend 30 minutes at home and drive 30 minutes back to work.
At around 7:30 I went to McDonald's to get a coffee and 2 hash browns. Then I went back to work and there was still no one else there.
I was really tired so I ended up looking around at some of the Jewish links for Western Mass. It's relatively related to work. I noticed that there was a link to a Kosher Bed and Breakfast in Springfield! Shocking because, apparently it's the only Kosher hotel/motel etc in Massachusetts outside of the Boston metro area. Who knew it would be a tiny B&B across from Forest Park. Of course this is really only mildly interesting as I have no real need for a B&B 30 minutes from my house.
We walked to Celery Stalk for lunch and I got an egg salad sandwich. It was hot, but not as humid as yesterday.
I got my produce box delivery. I'd forgotten to write a check so I paid cash this month. I got: red leaf lettuce, corn, blueberries, cherry tomatoes, beets and a giant cucumber. I was excited. Now I have to figure out what to do with all that food.
I skipped the 3pm stretch break because it was supposed to be 90 degrees. Instead we moved the coffee into my office at work. The coffee used to be in the conference room, but we are loosing the conference room and they will be putting in two old cubicles from across the street. I cleaned out one of my drawers in the filing cabinet. It only had book samples, so it wasn't hard.
We also moved the checks from my office to the new bookkeepers desk. This means I don't have to lock my door every day, so now I won't miss the trash pick up in the morning.
I left at 4:30 because I was really having trouble focusing. Somehow 200 people filled out the online renewal form in the last 2 weeks. Usually only about 50 people per week fill it out. It might have something to do with there being no reply envelopes in the first batch of letters inviting people to renew.
I watched my movie from Netflix. I'm going to send it back tomorrow in hopes to get another one soon. I gave platelets a week or so ago and I started to watch "Yes Man" but I finished with something like 30 minutes left. It's been driving me crazy that I don't know how it ends so that's next from Netflix.
Tomorrow I hope to finish online renewals and finalize everything so we can run US lists. What fun.
