Wearing a shirt that belongs to the guy that I live with* and eating a turkey sandwich with cucumber slices.

Had a lovely birthday and several days away from the job that makes me miserable. The little black thunder cloud above my head returns to its usual parking space just thinking about going back tomorrow.

But on a brighter note the warm weather is creeping back into this bit of the country and I'm going to take my learn-to book and wad of yarn into the sun to make knots and battle frustration.

Come to Texas and let's have a picnic.

* You know, that guy. The really mushy one who leaves sweet notes all about and adds not a small amount of light to my otherwise bitter and blackened soul. That one.

Yesterday left for work at 6 AM and got home from work at midnight.

Fortunately this is more than balanced out by several things. They appear below in list form.

1) Spanking new 600 threat count (!) sheets and new fluffy pillows.

2) The first of 6 days off in a row.

3) The Indian restaurant smorgasbord buffet I am planning to crush for lunch.

4) Strawberry cake with Swiss buttercream frosting and Mexican chocolate almond ice cream.

5) Going to the knitting store to sign up for a class.

6) My birthday, bitches.

Sorry about that last bitches part. I didn't mean it. Honest.

If you need my address to send mountains of gifts just hollah.

Today in the drizzle found myself at the nursery again with some big blue flower pots and more plants. The sudden yearning for playing in the dirt must be a symptom of the time of year. Despite the mild winter ready for longer days. I miss the sun.

It seemed like there were a lot of things to write about, but missing the sun pretty much sums it up.

Happy Friday the 13th.

It is noon and I am still in my pajamas.

Today was payday.

Finished paying for my bicycle (You know that one in the corner that hasn't been outside in ages) and now there isn't much left over.

Despite this am thinking of taking myself for a cup of coffee and a pedicure.

(Sorry to the poor soul who is going to have to touch my raggedy feet. Here...Have a tip !)

Probably I will just leave on my pajamas and maybe add a bra.

What class !

Worked late yesterday because we are short short short nurses on the night shift. Today getting out of bed was like training for an Olympic sport. Ooof.

Once I did manage to get up went to the nursery and picked up a few plants and some soil and spent the afternoon playing in the dirt.

Now there are a variation of these cabbage rolls on the stove and I am trying to decide if I want to make/bake something to take to work tomorrow for my bosses birthday lunch or if I'd rather just be a total sell-out and get something from the store and take it.

Probably the second option and likely still in the plastic bag from the grocery.

Heh.

The wind is blowing blowing and it seems like maybe we are going to get a little more much needed moisture from the sky.

Ooop. Better go check the cabbage.

Later !

My analyst told me that I was right out of my head/He said I'd need treatment, but I'm not that easily led.

Yesterday did talk myself into a bit of half-assed exercise.

Got up early today for the muffins. Now am cleaning the house a bit before back to work tomorrow.

These are the things that must be done to counterbalance my many bad habits like leaving shoes all over the house and squeezing the toothpaste from the middle of the tube and yelling at the oven when it won't maintain the temperature at which it has been set.

Once it reaches the predicted 73 degrees I may drag my bicycle out of oblivion and take a little spin.

I'm also supposed to be deciding where to go for dinner tonight, but I don't even know what kind of food I want let alone where to go to get it.

Any suggestions ?

Trying to convince myself to exercise today and thinking of baking some muffins.

Today at the grocery searched out some wheat and dairy free what's-its for my sweet Cunty Pie. Reading all of those labels and having to put so many things back is frustrating ! Be thankful if you are like me and your body will process any old thing you decide to stuff down yer gullet.

I sure am.

Today there was a meeting at work with all of the new-ish nurses.

Should it make me feel better or worse that everyone else seems just as beaten down and dejected as I do ?

Meh.
