Here’s another problem with being Bipolar… The manic hangover. I was on a roll last night, getting stuff done, etc. This morning I feel like hell. I’m glad that I didn’t head into the depression end of things, but I’ve got so much to do and this giant gorilla on my back isn’t helping.
No one liked my bad joke, eh? Inconceiveable! 
I’ve been following everyone’s exploits – appropriate comments all around – but wasn’t able to post yesterday. Not that I had a lot of actual work to do, though: more like I got caught up with emails and other stuff. Maybe a little bit of actual work. Oh, and I got a free lunch yesterday! A bunch of us went out for phở and the boss picked up the tab. It was only my second time having phở: I didn’t like it any better than the first time. It’s ok, but will never be my first pick (or my second pick, etc.). I only went yesterday because it was a group thing (the rest of my team loves it). But – as swampy knows – free is good!
I’m looking forward to going downtown for more live jazz tonight, but I’m already starting to feel guilty about leaving the dog home alone. It’s been over a year since I moved out of my ex’s house and took Bailey with me, and I still feel guilty when I go out on a weeknight! In a perfect world I would have put her in daycare today and let them keep her overnight, but I couldn’t really afford it this week. I know that she’ll survive. I’ll see her after work for a few hours (we’ll go to the dog park, get dinner, etc.), and worst case I’ll have to do some cleanup when I get home late tonight. I have no plans Sat/Sun other than going to my friends’ for pizza and a movie tomorrow night, and then I’ll only be gone for about 4 hours, so we’ll get plenty of quality time together this weekend. Oh, for a job that would let me bring my dog to work! 
Took off early today - work was dead and I wasn’t motivated. But I did get my keyboard shelf and pencil drawer installed, so there’s that!
I met daughter and her friend for lunch, since they were working in the school, then she took my car and they headed into Fredericksburg and I took the van and headed home by way of the bank so I could deposit some money in my mom’s account. **FCD **took the afternoon off, too, and he’s futzing around out in the garage.
I intended to come home and do stuff, but it’s hot out, the skeeters are evil and ravenous and I just don’t feel like doing anything. So I’m not.
TGIF!
Blurf!
I’m not sure what that means, but somehow it felt appropriate.
I ended up staying home from work. It appears that whatever stomach bug I was dealing with the other day wasn’t quite through with me yet.:rolleyes:
I’m starting to feel a little better again.
Temps are fairly comfortable, right around 70 degrees, I think.
Feel better thoughts headed out to Taters.
Dindin tonight shall be steak, sallit, and Friggin’ Good N.O.T.. Oh and garlic bread in case there’s any vampires around. I was not gonna do the N.O.T. but OYKW stated that East Alabammy Friend had never had ‘em and it would be a shame ( and for emphasis he added, a shame, I say… I just may be a bad influence on him :D) to deprive him of the N.O.T. goodness that is Friggin’ Good N.O.T.. So, I gave OYKW peel, chop and dice duty. It’s only fair I say. He has also informed East Alabammy Friend that EAF shall ascend to new heights in N.O.T. enjoyment. Weirdo! Course I consider weird to be a good quality.
Hubby came out for lunch, and he brought our dog with him! It was a fantastic lunch, and I got some exercise: Angel took me for a walk. And I got my ear slurpies. I’m a happy camper.
One thing I learned for certain today: she is not a guard dog. She doesn’t know what a stranger is. She met several of my coworkers today, and she had to go to each one, say hi, and give them kisses. I can imagine a stranger coming in to our house to be greeted by a large puppy who will slurp them and want to play. 
Sounds like my house, Annie. At least for Lucy the Lab! The other two take a little longer to warm up. They’re the good guard dogs!
I’m tahred. About to head out, and stop by the bar on the way home. Dinner shall be some sort of takeout.
I’m working all weekend, but it will be worth it when I see my paycheck!
Hope you don’t have a fever. We don’t want to play Hot Taters.
Feel better soon!
I just noticed this and now I gotta know; did I miss something?
Watcha makin?
hope you feel better Taters.
Thanks everyone, I am feeling a little better.
Poor Mr. Taters had a very long day. He didn’t get home until 5:30. He clocked in at 4:30 this morning. Understandably, he’s tired and not in the best of moods. I’m just giving him his space.
I had wanted to just have dinner waiting on him when he walked in the door, but his cell phone had died and I couldn’t reach him. I finally got a hold of him when he was minutes from home, so I dashed out and just grabbed burgers and fries so he wouldn’t have to wait on me to cook something.
I’m sure he’ll be heading to bed fairly early tonight.
I get to sleep in tomorrow! Possibly as late as 8am! 
(knowing me, more like 1pm)
I make jewelry out of old silverware and I’m trying something new that somebody told me about at my last show. Resin in the bowl of a spoon with things suspended in it. I have a bunch of small polymer clay items so I used some of those, an old worry doll, some candy corn, and the face of a watch. (Not all in the same spoon!)
Man, even when I have the opportunity to sleep in, I can’t do it. I seem to be up by 7 every morning, no matter what time I went to bed. That’s why I was feeling so crappy this morning because I’d been zooming around half the night.
Speaking of, I’ve decided to go to bed now and get up early to finish my pendants so that the resin will be fully cured. Also, I’m tired.
Ok, take two! I did post early this morning, but it’s GONE now. 
Was there a crash or did I do something wrong? At any rate, it’s now Saturday and I have missed Happy Firday altogether!
I didn’t get home until 6:30 pm because I had a gift card (from Christmas LOL) for Baja Fresh and decided to use it for dinner tonight. I also had a few things I wanted to get from Whole Paycheck (like my Dr. Bronner’s bar soap, and they only had ONE bar of my regular hemp & tea tree oil kind!), so after work I headed to where both WF and Baja Fresh are. Ye gods, that BF is expensive! I got a tostada salad w/chicken, an order of pork carnitas quesadillas, and three burritos. That came to over $38!!! It was good though. The a/c was out in there, though, and it was hot as the devil! Well, thank you to my boss, because it was a gift card from him.
Tomorrow daughter and I will run a few errands, and Sunday we’ll go to the grocery store. Wee, such an exciting life! LOL Enjoy the weekend, folks.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. I’ve actually been up for an hour. I woke up with a backache and couldn’t stay in bed even though I wanted to sleep longer. Some days it just bes that way!
StickyBuns I eagerly await pics of your jewelry with stuff suspended in it.
Ok, off to surf around teh intertoobz for a bit.
Happy Saturday!
Stay tuned!
I pretty much woke up with a similar backache, but my alarm was going to go off in a short while anyways.
Up, caffeinated, off to irk.
It was dark. It was quiet. The critters were all asleep. I woke up. I couldn’t fall back to sleep. Life is unfair… 
Fun stuff in store today - a trip to the convenience center, dogs to the groomer, laundry, mowing the yard, general tidying. Oh yes, you wish you had my life, I just know it…
I need caffeine… :o <---- yawn
Ima go make brekkies. Bacon, aigs, grits and toast. MMMMMM… After brekkies EAF needs to get on the road to Brunswick, Jawja. His youngest niece is gettin’ married there this evenin’. Sniff They grow up so quick! Sniff
Ok, on to brekkie makin’!
Good morning!
I got myself a brulee torch and butaned it all up yesterday. I think creme brulee is in the wqrks for today!
