>EEk!

>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.

>Overslept today

>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.

Nonny Nonny

Described as a feel good word, I kind of like saying it, Nonny Nonny. It’s from As You Like It. I keep saying I am going to read it but so far . . .

Today has not been the greatest of days. I stayed up late to finish Final Account. Another good book in the Alan Banks series. Then I got woken up early by my phone letting me know I got an e-mail from M.L. So I had to get up to check my e-mail to see what she said. Silly woman, spending time in the early a.m. to send me an e-card. Very sweet though.

Fell asleep on the train. Still having tummy problems that lead to a sore bottom. Have to take the Vaseline with me to the bathroom. Not bad though, nothing is bleeding right now.

This morning I had to throw out Butterscotch’s food again, covered in ants. I forgot to get ant traps at Target. I will have to remember to go tonight. I wrote a list in my phone, I need to transfer it to paper.

Next Post

Well, it is late and I really should be in bed. I went on WW but couldn’t think of anything to say. I need to go on Amazon to post a review of the book I just bought, but I don’t feel like it. I really have no idea what I wanted to post here, I just need to make long posts. I discussed this before.

I posted pictures of Abigail on Yahoo Booktalk and everyone thinks Abby is beautiful. One woman called Sassy a calico, humph. One who couldn’t open the Yahoo site I e-mailed the pics to, one of Abby and one of Sassy. She said Abby had beautiful markings and asked if Sassy was a torti. So some do know what is what. I also emailed the pictures to B___. She said Abby was pretty and that she remember Sassy, ‘she must be getting up there in years’. She is indeed. That reminds me of something I need to do before I go to bed.

I went to post a comment on my vacw’s website, but then I realized it would give him a link to this blog, so I deleted it.

Well, I think I have said enough. Good-bye for now.

Trouble

I just messed up my phone by trying to set it up to this blog for mobile blogging.

I had sent this to my other blog, so I now have linked it. It supports B.T.’s claim that Buffalo have wings.

Life

I came home early today, I was not feeling well. I had an episode of totally liquid poop.

This morning on the train this woman who had on enough cologne to choke a horse and she decided she had to sit right next to me because I was in a 3 seat and her husband/boyfriend/SO was with her. I kept thinking of all these clever but biting things to say, but of course I didn’t. I am thinking I should tell people, that seat is taken, so no one sits next to me ’cause by the time we got to GCT I was hurting.

When I was coming home through GCT I kept thinking I need to say, “Stop wandering and walk in a straight line if you are going to walk slow!”

So I stayed home from the meeting. I am watching Law & Order: Criminal Intent. I am going to do some more stuff on the web.

Lost my thought

I was already to type something interesting and clever and Jean came by and started talking to me, so I had to shrink this, then I had to do some work, then SZ came by and I completely forgot what I was going to say.

I had a bad day

I got to bed late last night. Then woke up a few times. Once to turn off the heater, next around 4:18 a.m. Then I didn’t get up for work until 5:40 a.m. or so. I ran to the bathroom and the light was burnt out. I had to go with the door open and Butterscotch watching me. I went online and started the thread for “Points Poster” and still caught the 6:18 a.m. train. Fortunately I had put the 2 new balls of yarn in my knitting bag so I could keep on knitting. So I was in a pretty good mood despite the rocky start.

All that changed when I opened my workbag when I got to my office. I had forgotten my WW journal. Well, that was not a catastrophe; I have my computer and can track online. Then when I put my coat away I saw the stitching in the sleeve is coming undone, that needs to be fixed now. Since I used my debit card last night I went online to check my balance. After I pay all my bills I will have $3 in my checking account.

The next thing happened when I tried to type a letter. I got the new letterhead from the R drive and when I hit return, the curser spaced! Couldn’t get it to do anything else! I had to get an old letter and take D’s name out of it. Then I bit the inside of my lip so hard it bled.

I thought when I left to go home my bad day was over. After all, M had called and told me the water bottles had come and were pretty. I was sitting on the train knitting when I heard someone mention the train was late. Then T announced there was a problem with the doors. ARGGG. We left GCT 10 minutes late. We got to Tarrytown at 5:55 p.m., Croton Harmon at 6:03 p.m., Peekskill at 6:12 p.m., Garrison at 6:21 p.m., Cold Spring at 6:23 p.m. and finally Beacon at 6:28 p.m.

And then when I got home I found my WW journal in my knitting bag. So I had it with me all day!
Well, I went to work out, used my new water bottle, which I really like, and now am ready to mend my coat so I can wear it tomorrow when I meet Casey. I want to wear it because it is easy to spot and I told her I would be wearing it.

Quotes

When I entered my weight last Monday, the website told me the following, but I forgot to write it down, but somebody had it in their signature so I copied it.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence therefore, is not an act, but a habit. – Aristotle
