>So tired

Filed under: Uncategorized
March 27, 2009

>That seems to be everyday, course if I went to bed at a decent time instead of playing on this computer, I probably wouldn’t be so tired all the time.

Even with missing the train this morning I was able to get my fruit and yogurt and get to the drugstore to drop off my prescription from the doctor, and even with missing the subway train when I left work, I was still able to get back to the drugstore to pick up the prescription and catch my train. I also did some work today. Shocking isn’t it? So in all, that makes today a pretty good day.

Em is still having trouble getting her contacts out. She says she has no trouble putting them in, but they just don’t want to leave her eyes. She has also found out that contact lens solution takes off mascara really well.

>Is it Spring yet?

>According to the calendar, today is the first day of Spring. So what do I see as I look out my window? Blue skies? Robins? Crocuses? No, I see the same thing I saw looking out the window of the train as I was coming into work, snow. Yes it is snowing here in New York on the first day of Spring.

I had originally typed this while having a ‘sit n sip’ at Starbucks. Another person was having a ‘sit n snooze’, not that I’m judging, I was doing that on the train. Then I went ‘back’ and lost everything, that is the kind of day I have been having, forgot my oatmeal, which I had put in a bag and put next to my work bag, and my library books, not one I’m reading, the ones I was going to give Stitch in case he took Gwen to the library so they could be returned. Also in a bag by my work bag. When I looked out the window and saw snow, I thought, well this is just perfect, snow and I am wearing the wrong outerwear again!

>It’s a Hard Knock Life

>Just got in from the BHS production of Annie. This has not been the best of days. I fell asleep on the train, I mean really passed out, didn’t wake up in GCT. Then at work I realized my sweater was on inside out. Sigh.

Em sent me an e-mail about a walk/run for the Gorillas. So we are doing that, actually the whole family is doing it. We just have to finish the registration and think of a name.

Now I need to sleep, this migraine is making my head feel oookie.

>So, you want to know how my day is?

Filed under: Uncategorized

>Fell asleep on the train, probably would still be there if the conductor hadn’t woke me up.

Went to the ladies room after sitting at my desk for two hours and talking to people to discover my sweater was on inside out.

In my defense, the sweater had no tag on it. However, it does have snaps and I was looking in the mirror and thinking to myself, that looks like the back of the snap. LOL!

How’s your day so far?

>6:18 a.m.

March 9, 2009

>Back to my regular schedule today. Stitch dropped me off and I caught the 6:18 train to NYC. I have to get back in the routine since next month I might have to catch the 5:57. If things go the way I want that is. Now you may be wondering why someone who HATES to get up in the morning wants to leave a half hour earlier. It is the compressed work week I mentioned before, compressed work week is what the State calls it. I call it the 9/10 schedule, where I will be working 9 days instead of 10 in a pay period, which means longer days but a day off every other week.

It was in the 40’s when I left the house so I didn’t wear my scarf, now I wish I had since it feels colder here. Probably the damp is holding the temperature down and it is not really colder, just feels that way. Its raining now and I have to go out for lunch, I hopes it stops.

Oh and I was 138.0 this morning. With my sweat shirt on. I was too cold to take it off and weigh myself. Didn’t want to stand there in the cold. The first time I weighed myself I was 136.6, but the scale shifted when I stood on it, so I moved it so to where it would not shift and then I was 138, which is probably correct.

>this post would start out, I hate – as in – I hate when I run out the door without all my make-up on and still miss the train. It isn’t starting like that because I didn’t miss the train, and I do have some of my make-up on so I won’t scare any little children (Unless I want to that is, ha ha!) and I carry my lipstick with me always so my lips are covered.

I sent a tweet about Tigger finding my earrings and Butterscotch being a water snob, but the last time I checked it hadn’t shown up. I was going to blog about them eventually, the tweet was just a reminder.

>So I am sitting here all cozy in my panties and sweatshirt, I’m under 4 fleece blankets FYI, trying to decide if I should go out in the -1 windchill to go to work or pretend to be sick for another day and stay home.

On the one hand, I really like staying warm in my bed, on the other hand, I can’t stay in bed all day and I am feeling a little guilty. Of course, it could be a moot point if the roads are too icy to get to the train station.

MetroNorth said it would be a regular schedule today. So here goes, I am getting up now.

>So

>So I wake up this morning with this cold, blech. But I decide I should go to work anyway to finish up some things. I catch the 6:33, which is O.K., I mean it gets me to NY in time, I just don’t like it. I stopped to get Theraflu at RiteAid, still have time, get some tea at Starbucks, everything is going fine until I get to the 7 train, and it is not running.

Then I got on the wrong train, had to get off and backtrack and that train was so crowded, I was standing next to this young man, so close that my hair was sticking to his coat, I didn’t want to brush it off since I was feeling that would call attention to me and with this cold I am already having trouble breathing. When the train stopped, I pushed my way out and ran to the wall, out of the stream of traffic, claustrophobia running amok.

Then I couldn’t remember what letter train. All I could remember was it was orange. So I took the orange train and got off at 21st street and finally made it to work at 9:00 am. >^, ,^<

>this morning, funny though, there was a long line at Starbucks. A lot of schools were off today for President’s weekend.

Last night Em and I were talking about Vincent movies to watch while D is in Toronto. I said there is one but I didn’t want to say the name, wasn’t sure how she would react, but when she looked at me and said ‘Go ahead.’ I was pretty sure she was thinking the same, so I said, ‘Full Metal Jacket‘ and of course that was the same one she wanted to see. He has done a lot of movies, it is going to be hard to pick just a few. But that is one we both want to see.

Tonight I went up to Macy’s to get some make-up. Lancôme was having a give-away, I got some eye cream and it was enough for two gifts.

I was trying to find something that would show how many comments and names of commentors for my blog but couldn’t and I really should be getting to bed. I have a busy day planned for tomorrow.

>sorry ’bout yesterday

February 12, 2009

>I did not post yesterday, I mean I did but I didn’t write a personal post. I didn’t turn on my computer on at all when I got home.

If you read this before and now see more, it is because I was trying to send that from my phone while on the train and I kept falling asleep. A combination of a late night and the soothing, rocking motion of the train. {HEE}

Gwen and I went to the meeting. Then we went to put gas in the car (Stitch used it all up!) then to Target to get shampoo and cat litter (and a box of whoppers, er malted milk balls, what I didn’t eat I left for Tigger this morning) then to the bank, she needed to deposit her paycheck (she won’t use the ATM in Fishkill, {Shrug}). So we didn’t get home until after 10:00, everybody was in bed, I searched through my stuff for something I know I got and now can’t find, (ARG) and did all that other bedtime stuff. All in all, I got to bed sooner than last night, but I was still oh so tired this morning. Falling asleep standing up tired.
