It was so cold today at work that for most of the day I huddled around the tiny portable plug-in heater. There is no heating in the building, and the heat from the portable one seemed to radiate out about a foot before completely disappearing into freezingness, and without doing anything to warm the whole room I was in. I wanted to engulf the heater. I wanted to envelope it completely. Anytime I had to tear myself away from it to do something was torturous….especially when I had to step into the freezer (it's a -40 degrees one). I would have taken the work truck home rather than walk through the icy world, except that I am afraid to. This is because the last time I drove it, the steering went all wonky, like it was getting stuck and being pulled, and it made me veer into the opposite lane of traffic (luckily on a quiet street with no on coming at the time). I think with my total ignorance of mechanics that it's that bar connecting the two front tires. anyway, that SUCKS because John told me I could use it when I needed to! And now….I don't think I will, thanks!
speaking of my boss, he's changed his plans and is now going to be gone for about 2 months! I'mma be running Trilogy on my OWN. and I got a raise!
Had a scare with the purring fluff ball. She was gone for a night and a day. At the end of the day I was beginning to despair - shawn and I were working,but he kept going home to check on her, and he'd called me right before I finished work saying that she wasn't back yet and her food was untouched. unheard of!! but when I got home from work - there she was! seemingly fine, only smelling of rat poo and, we discovered, she'd scraped her claws right down to the pad. I think she used up one of her nine lives. I can't tell you how RELIEVED I was! We'll never know what happened…I just hope she's smart enough to avoid it again.
I've suddenly reverted into an old lady that goes to bed at 8:30 and wakes up at 4:30-5.
i totes feel your pain about the cold. it's not supposed to be that cold inside. you need to wear a fleece outfit head to toe to work. so glad that eastre's ok!
ReplyDeletea onesie fleece outfit. yes.
ReplyDeleteyou've always had old lady in you, so...no surprise there.
Frieda has already used up 3 of her 9 lives and she's only a year and a half! Eastre is at least saving hers up.
