I will know now to bite my tongue when I think about writing how nice the weather is getting. I woke up to fresh snow! What the heck?<\/p>\n
I was right about the snooze button – it wasn’t light enough at 6:00 this morning to think about running outside. For heaven sakes, I don’t want to come upon an unexpecting bear! Stupid scary animals! I’ll just let that be my excuse, rather than admitting to the fact that I’ve become really bad at mornings!<\/p>\n
I did a little on-line shopping last night – I needed a new outfit for the upcoming New York trip. I figured the “Brevig Mission Huskies” sweatpants and gray zippered “hoodie” probably won’t cut it over there. Though I’m something of a fashion icon around this neck of the woods! Ha! Anyway, I\u00c2\u00a0 got this cute dress, shoes, and purse – all on sale, and still felt totally guilty… I rarely justify $ spent on clothes. So, then I walked to the post office this morning, and low and behold, there was a random check from work for almost the identical amount that I spent – just cents off! I will take that as some sort of intervention. \ud83d\ude42 Anyway, these random checks I get are kind of fun. I think it has to do with me not being on the Foundation’s insurance plan or something. I never know when they’ll show up or how much they’ll be. What a nice little lift!<\/p>\n
Bill’s at work, despite my best efforts to get him to call in sick. He’s been wrestling a cold for a few days now and not sleeping very well at night. Of course, I just thought having him around the apartment would interrupt the monotony of my work day. It’s probably a good thing he’s not here, though. I’m starting to feel like I might actually get my stuff learned!<\/p>\n
Lo heads back to work tonight… or maybe she went yesterday, I guess I’m not sure. Anyway, she was saying how she doesn’t care to have to be in the nursery during her shift. If I was there, I think I’d want to be there all the time. I’d hold all the babies! Speaking of which, April’s report is that Ethan is a great baby and a good snuggler. I want to see him!<\/p>\n
I also got an e-mail from Andrea who is an exceptionally busy lady! Sounds like delivery of Alex went smoothly last week, and the whole family is doing well. They’ve got a full spring and summer ahead of them, and I hope we’ll fit somewhere into those plans. \ud83d\ude42 I’m very much looking forward to a chance to reconnect with distant friends this summer. Last summer was great – with the wedding we had a chance to see a lot of people, but we didn’t really get quality time with anyone.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I should get back to life.<\/p>\n
