9AM yesterday my car was so buried in the slow that I couldn’t get it away from the curb. 5pm yesterday the roads were dry and I got the Sportster out. I’m a year older and even more confused than ever. ---

I also haven’t had a day off in two weeks. ☹ I am tired and grumpy. My higher HQ refuses to believe there is something wrong with the “tool” I am using to prepare our business plan. I’m so sick of taking half a step forward and about 20 back because of that stupid tool. I’m tired of the long days and no weekends and I’m just tired of the stress. Happy, happy birthday **Ruble**. I hope you have a fantastic day. Hugs to those who need them. I only snuck in here because I had to log out of my plan so my higher HQ can see that I’m not talking out of my ass. ---

W00T! Work is feeding us today! And I even didn’t pack a lunch! We just got the email, so it must have been a last-minute thing (usually we get an email a week or so ahead, and it’s on the timeclock for a few days). I had been planning on trying to write 25,000 words next month. Then I find out that Camp NaNoWriMo (the summer, and now spring, version of NaNoWriMo) starts next month AND you can set your own word goal. Perfect! Ironically, I JUST printed out my winner’s certificate from November (my printer at home isn’t usually hooked up and I didn’t want to do it at work, but I finally did). Now I just have to get my ass in gear and get my place cleaned up so I don’t have housework distracting me. ---

Lunch time! I goofed - I thought I was buying unsweetened applesauce, but I bought the sugar and HFCS sweetened stuff - ugh. Not sure what to do with it - maybe my daughter can take it to school for kids who forget to bring snacks - I know she loves overly-sugared 10-y/o kids! 😃 _ **Happy kopek day!** _ You don’t act a day over 14!! 😃 I’ve just about beaten the second drawing from hell into submission. I’m setting it aside and I’m going to do a couple of easy ones now, just to give the brain a break. It’s a purdy day out - 45° and sunny with lots of blue skies - yay! We may see spring yet! ---

Oops, sorry **kopek** , I didn’t mean to leave you out! **Happy Birthday!** Got my annual review today, and a dollar raise. On the other hand, at some point this year, I’m going to have to be a receptionist as well. That sucks. ---

**Apes** a sure fire way to get awesome birthday wishin’s is to bring in chawklit cake on your day of nativity. 😃 Or remind us. If I get a reminder over on facebook about a Mumper with a bday I can remember. I can remember **MOOOOOOM’s** bday because she is six months _and_ six days older than me. Also her bday is 123. So if’n facebook tells me it’s your birthday I will remember to come here and sing real loud. ---
