Four more days, but not five or six, just four. That’s what Ella says. Four more days ’til Friday.
I’m only posting this picture because it makes me laugh {and because K borrowed my camera for the Dave Matthews show tonight}. Ella took it of me a few weeks ago, wearing a party hat from Jackson’s birthday party. She’s been a little obsessed with my camera lately. It is so big compared to her, but she holds it just right. I’m thinking about getting her a rough and tumble camera for her birthday this year. Is three old enough?
Today was my first day in the office in three weeks. Three weeks is a long time. Several people made jokes about whether I worked there or taking me off of the payroll. To be expected, I guess. I didn’t get much accomplished today. It took me almost all day to process my time and expense report and get re-organized. Just about the time I feel comfortable with my job again, the weekend will be here.
After work, but before getting caught in the rush-hour traffic from hell {that took me almost two complete hours to traverse} I stopped at Old Navy in search of the perfect pair of shorts. They don’t exist. I bought these instead. They’re pajamas. Or yoga pants. I fully intend to wear them in public. They kind of pass for gauchos if you squint your eyes. Why do shorts make anybody over the age of 13 and weight of 88 look weird? The legs are either too long or too short and I always feel really silly. Ugh.
Sorry this isn’t a more coherent post, our evening wasn’t very coherent either. I needed to pay bills and call about our computer, but time got away from me and I should really be sleeping right now. The vacuum people had to come back for some paperwork today. I had to clean up three weeks of accumulation. I had to unpack Ella’s overnight back and get laundry started so that we have enough clothes to make it through the week. All the while, dealing with an overzealous dog, a two-year-old with stomach issues and a phobia of the potty {although she hasn’t had a single accident since my return on Friday}. Tomorrow, there will be actual pictures of the princess in question and hopefully more interesting material.
In the meantime, a hint. We’ll be leaving the timezone on Friday. Ooooohhhhh.
