I generally like the sound of rain...it's soothing...except when I know I have to be in it...waiting for the bus. There's plenty of room on the grassy area in front of ACME for a shelter, but there's not one...so I got to stew this morning.

While I was taking all this extra time and energy to get to work...all but 4 of our appointments for the day were cancelling...GREAT! Our day was so slow I got sent home 3 hours early.

Wow, that's really about it...I found a great frame for Tara's wedding/partial Christmas gift. :) I can't wait to see it all framed up!

issac picked me up slightly later than i was comfortable with, but with only a few lost detours we made it to the airport with really good timing. i even had time to pee before i boarded the plane and promptly fell asleep. i was so tired i fell asleep before the doors were even closed. i woke up to the flight attendant asking if i wanted anything to drink, to whichi replied, "yes, a diet c-" before i fell back to sleep. i came to with her trying to rouse me as she took down the tray, saying, "i THINK you wanted a diet coke...and if you want it, there's a snack bar on the seat next to you." i chugged the soda, and quickly passed out until we landed.
it took me a few to rouse myself enough to be able to stand up and deboard the plane, but i mustered all the energy i had and made my way to the omega shuttle, where our real journey begins. i got to meet the new hires in my group, which was really nice. badging took an inordinate amount of time. when chris and i got our badges last time we technically didn't do it with everyone else because the office was almost empty due to some big meeting so they'd gotten everyone in the day before. chris and i were returning from california that night, so we couldn't make it. i remember we got home late at night only to turn around at 4am to board a flight to chicago. so we get there...and while i've never talked to this lady more than a couple minutes on the phone total...she annoys me. i could've played a drinking game with how many times she said "just to give you a heads up on that". the whole thing really could've taken 20 minutes, but whatever. it's done. i'm pictured, and on monday i shall be badged!
cat picked me up from the people department office, and we actually got to talk for a little while before she had to leave for work. she bought me lunch. mmmm. after she left for work i had two options; sit at the airport for a few hours or go with erich and nicholas to look for shoes. i opted for the latter, which lead to a rather silly adventure with a shoe salesman named Eduardo. I'd tell you more about it if I could've comprehended anything about the man. He was...hectic, we'll leave it at that. from there we considered heading downtown ("more of everything!" eduardo had said), but nicky seemed to be ready for sleep and i wanted to try to make the earlier flight back home. i picked up my christmas present (woohoo! $25 to boston market from cat) and cat's old uniforms (woohoo! i'll have a month of uniforms without doing laundry!)
after the nice lady at the gates *twitch* stopped telling me shed have to charge me an upgrade to take the earlier flight and i told her why, in fact, that was not the case, i ended up on a flight two hours earlier than my scheduled return. a fortunate turn as it was, because i had the pleasure of making a new friend. i like new friends, especially new friends who share my odd sense of humour. hah. or maybe he just laughed because he was trapped on a plane with me. ;)
we got home and i started the train trip home, only to fall asleep a lot and not remember a single word i was reading. chris picked me up from the station, and now i'm waiting for trevor to find his way here to jam for a bit.

what a day....i'm gonna sleep all weekend!

edit: just so there's no confusion....this lil guy totally rocks!
and he's gettin SO big!!!!
today he hugged my legs and said "byebye" :( i misses him so!

By the end of this week I will have worked 7 shifts ( 60something hours)..including my 17hour day tomorrow! Wooohooo supershift! Unfortunately long day means missing the Philadelphia Pride parade/festival, but we'll be in the parade for the one in DC next weekend. The float master seemed pretty confused that my husband and I listed ourselves as "part of the community" instead of "supporters". Hah. It lead to an interesting conversation abou the dynamics of a bisexual marriage. Anywho, it'll be the first non-formal company event Ryan will be attending. it should be fun...although we may end up pulling an all nighter if we can't find somewhere affordable to sleep, hah.

I got my hair trimmed last night...Ryan got his...well..shorter than he'd have liked...his mom got a little distracted, hah.

Home today for a nap after work in preparation for uber day tomorrow.

Try to stay out of the heat, everyone!

Yesterday I was exhausted, and work didn't help any. I had to be in at 9am after a 10 hour 8am day and the Christmas tree adventure. It was insanity all day, but that's Christmas. Lauren picked me up from work, and we drove around for 2 feckin hours looking for some damned mistletoe for the shoot I was doing of her that night. We didn't find any. The shoot went pretty well...the half I got to shoot. I wanted a second outfit, but Chad decided to be sleeping at 8pm, so my other outfit was trapped. We got some really cute shots though, and I WILL get my mistletoe shot!!!

This morning I headed out for my endocrinologist appointment. As soon as I got off the train my blood sugar crashed, and I have to tell you all...the woman at Mrs Field's was the SLOWEST person I've ever had the pleasure of having serve me! I honestly thought I was going to die before I got my damned cookie. Then I couldn't find anywhere to sit...so I had to sit on the floor before I passed out. Stupid cookie wench! Anywho, today was my first time meeting the new endo, and I absolutely LOVED her. She listened, she asked questions, and she treated me like maybe I wasn't a liar. She made me feel like I'm actually a part of my health team, and she made suggestions rather than lecturing me. She did, however, decide she wanted me on a 12 hour fast for my blood work, so I have to head back into the city tomorrow. Oh well, I still get to sleep in, and I can nap when I get home.

After my appointment I had to get back on the train and head to work. Bageezus was it cold out! I got to work, and I had a pretty good night. I got home, and Chad got us wings for dinner. Now I'm ready to go to bed!

Gnight all!
