>Fell asleep

Filed under: Weather
February 4, 2009

>Here I am in Albany. Had some meeting today and after we went out, ate some food had some drinks. Came back to my hotel room, took off my jeans and got under the bedspread or comforter with my computer on my lap and promptly fell asleep. Woke up at 11:30.

I tried to keep reading the thread I was reading when I fell asleep but my contacts were cloudy and I couldn’t see it. So I went to take them out and almost couldn’t do it. I did get them out, drank some water, took some Tylenol® and use my inhaler. I need more Tylenol®.

There was a whole story involved with my drive into Albany this morning. Including no gas, no rear window wiper and wandering around the building until I found the room. A. Fuchs rescued me but I am too tired now to relate it. I am not even going to read the rest of the WW thread.

>I don’t know how this happened

>But I have more visitors and more followers. When I go to their blogs, I always think they are so much better and more interesting then mine!

I also have another page in my guestbook, happy days! I get so excited over this little expressions of kindness.

Tomorrow I am going to Albany for three days, I was supposed to pack tonight, but my clothes are not dry. I probably should put them in the dryer, but I hate putting my sweaters in the dryer, I am always afraid they will shrink and look horrible. I guess I will have to put them in for a little bit, if I get most of the wetness out, they will dry by morning and I can throw them in the suitcase.

The other thing of concern is the weather. It was snowing when I got home and as you know, Albany is north of here! I made sure to get a snow brush this time, and they gave me a Ford Escape 4×4, my GPS is working and I got a car power thingy so I can plug in my phone and use Verizon Navigator if I have to.

Now I am going to pack. No sense putting it off.

>Went to work today

>and it was a miserable yucky day. I suppose I could have said one and you would have guessed the other, but it was both so I said both.

I didn’t get the snow day I was hoping for. We only got like 4 inches so I swept off the car and Stitch and I went to the train station. When I got to the city it was starting to warm up, by mid-morning it was raining like crazy. That meant, when I went out to lunch, my feet got wet and then they got cold, tomorrow I have to take a pair of socks in to leave there in case this happens again. It’s always a good idea to have spare socks in your office in winter.

My boss didn’t come in so it was a relatively calm day. Boring, but calm. He is planning on being there tomorrow.

I just posted my interview with Matthew Cory on my book blog, Bella is reading …, I was very nervous about it. I kind of said I would do it without thinking. Now that I have done it, I am kind of glad I did.

Now I have to check some of my other sites, then go to bed.

>i love my crocs

Filed under: Weather
January 22, 2009

>I used that opening so people who do not like them will know to just skip the post today. I was thinking about the subject having read an old post of Brit’ Gal and I am wearing my Cyprus crocs at work, which I am not loving cause the straps have worn a sore spot on the top of my foot.

Anyway, if you have been reading you know I got a pair of fleece lined crocs, or fuzzy inside crocs, last Saturday. I have been wearing them for slippers in the house.

Today the lazy worthless college student (usually referred to as Stitch but today he is LWCS) was taking me to the train station so he could use my car and didn’t go out to start it like I have asked him to many times, so I threw on my coat and ran out in the single digit temps and snow to start it. I was wearing the crocs and my feet did not get cold.

Now this afternoon I have to go to Brooklyn because the Clueless College Student (also know as Gwen but today, yeah you get the idea) doesn’t know that when I offer to do something for her that involves walking through Brooklyn in the freezing cold wearing a skirt, I don’t really mean it. But since she accepted instead of saying, “Oh no I don’t want you to freeze your knees off and catch pneumonia” now I have to do it.

>In fact, I think it is colder today. I got a migraine from the cold, I think it is one of my triggers. Now my head is pounding and as much as I want to tell you about my day, my head just won’t let me. So I will sign off and get back to you tomorrow.

Em and I are going to Manhattan, I am sure I already mentioned this. She is getting a facial, I am getting my nails done.

Enough said, I am not even reading anything online, just trying to get some sleep.

>Very cold day

Filed under: Weather
January 15, 2009

>It was a two pant day today. One pair of jeans, then my yoga pants over them. I was hoping for a snow day but that was not to be, there was snow, but not enough to justify not going into work. Maybe the cold was but I just bundled up and went in. I am glad I bought that gray jacket in Manhattan a while back. The hood kept my head nice and warm. I also had a fleece jacket on under it and had that hood over my head too! It was so cold in my bedroom tonight I actually dragged out my space heater and turned it on. So now I believe I will be able to sleep tonight. I turned it off a little while ago, but I think I will turn it on while I go wash my face and brush my teeth to warm the room up a bit before I sleep.

Em asked me to get her some more of the Chili Pepper infused Olive Oil, so I went to the store, but they had none. They didn’t even have a space for it on the shelf. So today I went to another store, down 47th Street next to the new Duane Reade. They didn’t have the Chili Pepper infused Olive Oil, but they did have a Garlic and Chili Pepper infused Olive Oil. I sent a text to Em, but she didn’t get back to me until I was back in my office. I will have to get it another day. Maybe tomorrow if I get a chance.

In other news, a plane fell into the Hudson River, it may have sucked some birds into its engines, there is an article about it in the NY Times. Some minor injuries but over all not too bad. Everyone survived.

Well, I need to wash my face and go to bed. Tomorrow is Friday, S said we would go to lunch. I am not holding my breath.

>greetings from new york

January 12, 2009

>another cold day. Hey people, its New York, it’s January deal with it, not the time of year for shorts and t-shirts.

I had a bad tummy ache this morning, felt like an ulcer. When I came upstairs to leave, after beating myself up to get ready, Stitch was still in bed! So I missed my train and had to ride the dreaded express, the dreaded, crowded express so I didn’t get my make-up on or any of my book read. I also had to drop off my prescription since I am out and have to start taking it on Wednesday. It’s $70 but I get the money back from flex spending so that makes it a little better.

Now if this bad tummy ache and headache would just go away.

Maybe I shouldn’t have made it a goal to post every day. Some days are like today, with nothing for me to say. It is no wonder there are more followers on my book blog.

Today was WI for Weight Watchers, and I forgot again. Well, with my period and my stomach feeling the way it was, probably was ok I missed it. I also forgot to do any laundry today.

Tomorrow is my allergy shot, and Saturday Em and I are going to Manhattan. We are anxiously watching hte weather report, at first it was supposed to be a high of 15ºF. Now they are saying it is going to be above 20ºF. Woo Hoo! Em has an appointment at Lancôme for a facial and make-up application, I decided that instead of sitting around waiting for her, I will find someplace to get my nails done. So I googled nail salons and now I have a list of places to try. So maybe Saturday afternoon, I will have beautiful nails.

>made it to allsport

January 10, 2009

>I had been planning to go all day. Then I went on my game, just for a few minutes, and someone started talking to me, then when I was almost ready to leave my boyfriend came online so I stayed a little longer, I finally got out the door.

The roads were icky because it has been snowing all day. As I drove up I was afraid they would be closed, they weren’t so I got my workout and showered, of course now my legs are itching because of the dry skin problem I have in winter, anyway, I got a workout in and Em didn’t. After I went to Starbucks, as is now my routine, go to Allsport, stop for a non-fat latte. As for the exercise and WW progress, I forgot to weigh myself last week, but my jeans are a wee bit looser. That is a nice feeling.

Tigger got some songs and sent them to me, he was going to put some songs Em got on my I-Pod Nano but D was on the computer. He can do that later, no rush. Maybe when I go up for dinner, which will be soon. Speaking of Tigger, he knocked on my door and asked if I could help him. When I opened my door, the cat was on his back and he was bent over, so I pushed Butterscotch off him. He and Stitch will not stand up when the cat is on their back. They are afraid he will scratch them. Silly boys.

>My post for today

>I am having trouble posting because I am trying to play my game at the same time, and I keep losing my place.

Ok, we are having a break now. Had a very cold day today. It seems to me that the winters are getting colder here. Part of the problem was I wore the wrong coat, I read the temperature wrong on the text message so I wore my blue coat and I was freezing! When I got home, all I wanted to do was curl up and go to sleep. The cold air was also making my lungs unhappy and I had that tight feeling in my chest. So after everyone had left I took a long hot shower. After that, even with a sweatshirt and a sweater on I was cold. So I had some toast and tea and then came down here to sit under my blankets.

My awards are all handed out now. I checked some people’s blogs and there were no awards on them so I hope they are not upset I gave them one. If they want to ignore it that is perfectly all right with me.

Anyway, I need to get back to my game. I will write more tomorrow.

>Yes this post is not about my commute. Is that cheering I hear?

It is going to be about the weather! There was snow at home when I went out to my car, and the snow was hard frozen so I kind of slid to my car. The roads were O.K., the commute by train was as usual, when I got off the subway, the roads in the city were dry, yes no snow, rain or any other precipitation! You may think that is kind of weird, but that is winter in New York!

Then when I was leaving, I posted a Twitter update, that is was cold and windy, how cold and windy? Let me tell you, I had a hard time walking the wind was so strong, and my hands were so cold by the time I got to the Subway they hurt. Why didn’t I have my gloves on? Well, I can’t send text messages with my gloves on!

Check out my reading blog, Bella is reading . . ., some very lovely people gave me two awards! Well two people and they each gave me an award. So now I am off to pass on the honor!
