just a (transplanted) city girl

>I decided not to rush and catch the 6:33 today instead of the 6:18, my hurting tummy reminds me that I didn’t eat last night, but the way I felt, I couldn’t. I have cereal bars if it gets too bad before I get to work. I have to go throw some makeup on before I run out of here.

Rain today, I am wearing my spotted boots, even if they do look stupid with my skirt.

I made the 6:44. Then I stopped to get Band Aids so then I was truly late. As I was waiting for the Metro North train I thought about the things we miss when we rush, like the fact that there is grass growing on the platform, and the fact that it is sunny as California and I wore chunky black and white rain boots.

Today I stopped at this park I have always wanted to stop at for lunch. It is a pretty nice day except I know I look ridiculous in these rain boots. Well, someone told me its supposed to rain later and these boots are better then the shoes that are wearing away the skin on my heels.

As I was playing Tetris, while sitting in the boss’s office, Tigger sent me a text. I turned off the game and got up, it was dark outside. We were no longer in California. I saw someone in the parking lot rub his head so I looked at the jeep near the window and saw raindrops on the roof. As I watched, more appeared. Not a lot of rain but enough so I won’t look so silly in my boots.

Now I am sitting at my desk, eating my salad one vegetable at a time while sending and receiving text messages. Now who says I can’t multi-task?

It is a sad day because Sassy died. I was surprised at how sad I felt. But when you think about it, she has been with us for 19 years almost. Longer than Tigger and Fred. I went to the meeting because I had a talk with Nancy, but I didn’t stay, and now I have to go get ready for bed.

its sad
but it happens

Wed, May 21 3:38 pm

Something very annoying happens when I use this e-mail system, it picks up whatever I wrote before, like I want to resend the same information over and over.

I have something new to be annoyed about today, but isn’t there always something? This time it has to do with the WW message boards and a person who always starts a new thread when I have started it. The opening post instead of saying ‘anyone can start the thread’ should say ‘___ will start the thread because she’s so important she doesn’t have to check for anyone else, and if anyone else is stupid enough to start it, they have to just come over to her thread.’ Today is not the first time this has happened, it happens every time I start it but not when other people do. And I try not to take things personally, because I don’t really know these people but sometimes things pile on top of each other and I get upset.

Was it supposed to rain today? Cause it is, not as much as the other day when I didn’t have my hat, but it is raining and it is cold. I just cannot believe it.

Just now I bought some cinnamon Altoids at the store for Tigger, I will send him a text about that. He will either be happy or ask me for Riesen. That I have to get someplace not as expensive since I get the big bag. Well, my drink is ready so I better go.

And when I told him, he said, ‘Yay’, he didn’t ask for Riesen, just told me not to forget it, now that I am leaving work and walking to the subway, it is pouring down rain. I am soaked to the skin.

Time for bed and I have an upset tummy.
^. .^

>I just found out that someone has been reading my blog! Eeek! Now I have to remember if I said anything about her hmm. Don’t think so, she is one of the newer posters, but this thread is not like some of the others I posted to, not that I was abused, just ignored.

So I went to lunch and it is raining, you know I do not carry an umbrella, now it is pouring and so I stopped at Brasil Coffee House, you know the place on the corner with the tables with the coffee beans under their glass tops. I am hoping the rain stops because I put my hair back with a barrette and so do not have a hat. It does not look like it is stopping anytime soon so I will most likely get soaked. Well I will enjoy this latte before that happens.

Yes, I got soaked, and it is still raining, even here at home, well I am going to get some dinner than go to Allsport. I will talk to you later, or maybe tomorrow night.

Made it to Allsport, now I am home and soon my phone will be telling me to go to bed. OK it already has I just didn’t hear it. I should put my time on the challenge but I don’t think there is room yet. I will check in a minute, then I will do all the things my phone told me to do.

>I just could not get up today, kept thinking it was Friday and I could use a long weekend. When I remembered it was Thursday, I decided I would get up in an hour and go to work, take a ‘mental health’ me morning. I decided to catch the 9:06, got to the train station before 9:00 and wouldn’t you know it, the train was ‘running 10 to 15 minutes behind schedule’, train speak for late. I was surprised at how many people were at the train station. I suppose some could have been waiting for the train to Poughkeepsie, but there were a lot of people there.

So I am peeved at myself. I took someone’s advise, someone on the WW board and bought some ear buds, you know my problem with my tiny ears. Anyway, the ones I found, same brand name, which I won’t mention, were twice the price she said they were, and they don’t fit, even using the smallest size. They either fall out or I have to push them in and they hurt my ears. I think one ear is swollen from having the ear bud pushed in. So today I am using my red Sony ones and feeling like an idiot for buying the ear buds.

On a brighter note, I paid off one of my loans so I have more money in my paycheck. And I got a call from the Poughkeepsie Journal about that commuter thing I answered. So that is the total of my excitement for today. >^..^<

My State Tax return came today, all $13 dollars of it. I am supposed to get the other check no later than tomorrow. We’ll see. I am not going to Allsport, I have a stomach ache after eating dinner. No idea what caused it. Usually I can figure out something I ate that I shouldn’t have, but tonight I can’t. I had steak, corn and broccoli, it may have been the corn, or just poor eating today cause of how late I got to work. Anyway, I decided I didn’t want to risk leaving the house.
