Happy (?) Monday! As long time readers know, I really really struggle with SAD (seasonal affective disorder). Right now, daylight savings hasn’t ended so I am waking up in the dark, and in Chicago it’s been overcast for two days now and looking to stay that way. So I am BLEAK. Better since coffee and vitamin D pill and walking the dog, but still pretty bleak. Ask me happy things!
Continue readingHappy Monday! I am still China Cabinet-less! But by Thursday, I will have one one way or another. Sigh.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I just scheduled a work call for 8:30am and then another for 9am. I have a baaaaaaaaad feeling that this will be how the whole day goes. Oh well, at least I have y’all and your questions to distract me.
Continue readingHappy Monday! Yesterday was my Mom’s birthday and we did a river tour of the city and then dinner in the cool little cocktail bar across from their new condo. And today is my sister’s birthday and, as usual, she will be doing whatever the little toddler dictator orders her to do (“Mommy UP! Mommy, CAH! Mommy STROLLER! Mommy More Milk!”).
Continue readingHappy Monday!!! I am chipper because I slept late, all my co-workers are grumpy because it is Monday. So I will take my cheerfulness to the DCIB community where I know it is ALWAYS welcome!!!
Continue readingHappy Monday! Back to normal life for 3 days, then holiday again, and then depressing nothing for simply AGES. February is the shortest month, but always feels longest.
Continue readingHappy Monday!!!! And Happy Thanksgiving Week! I am so happy to have a half week, once my back finishes fixing itself I am going to do so much cleaning!
Continue readingHappy Monday! I feel vaguely draggy and not awake, because the stupid sun wasn’t up at 6:30am when I woke up. Stupid sun.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I have allergies like crazy, my weekend was way too busy, and it was one of those Mondays where I had to hit the ground running at work. Blargh!
Continue readingHappy Monday! I had a rough start to the day, mostly revolving around impossible parking near my parents (stupid street sweeping). But I have hope that things will get better now.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I got my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the year this morning. I’m back at my parents and there is a drive through Starbucks a couple blocks away from them, so when I woke up early this morning, I thought “I’m gonna walk the dog over to my car and drive to Starbucks and treat myself”. The Starbucks lady said my dog was cute, so it was an all around successful adventure.
Continue readingAre we the only ones who do Labor Day in September? So stupid! Like we will suddenly be communist if we do it on May 1 like everyone else in the world. Anyway, I have a day off work, yaaaaaaaaay!
Continue readingHappy Monday! I am grumpy and discombobulated today, so I am treating myself to delivery coffee, oooo! Which took like an hour to figure out how to do, apparently none of the coffee places near me are open on Mondays. Why???? Surely Monday, of all days, is the most Coffee-y!
Continue readingHappy Monday! One of the lovely commentators here linked me up with a website where she is doing an internship, and they gave me a chance to write an article. And in return, of course I promised to promote the article/them on my own sites (so, here, since I do nothing else on The Internet). Here you go, https://armchairjournal.com/could-covid-save-the-single-screen-theater/
Continue readingHappy Monday! I had a lovely weekend, until I got stressy again last night. Hamilton on Disney Plus, great stage filming, very stressful and hyper to watch right before bed.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I had a terrible horrible no good migraine most of the day yesterday (thus my poor response rate on comments). I’m still feeling slightly headachey, but better, just in time to go to work. Why do you get sick on weekends? Why is the universe so cruel?
Continue readingHappy Monday! I am not at work, because I am lazy lazy lazy, instead I am laying here with my foot up doing nothing. Entertain me by asking me questions!
Continue readingHappy Monday! I spent the weekend in bed, but then there was a lot of rain last night, and now the world is much less sickness inducing hot and heavy. So I am ready to think and be smart and original and stuff again!
Continue readingHappy Monday! I have been busy busy busy, the double birthday this weekend takes a lot out of me (although more out of my father, his wife turning 70 was very hard on him, the pressure for a Decade Birthday Worthy Celebration was enormous). And today I have to have more pre-surgical tests (keep a good thought for me that I pass and can have the surgery) plus do work-work.
Continue readingHappy week before 4th of July!!!!! I may or may not have all day Friday off. My work schedule is unclear. Anyway, I’ll definitely have a half day and can do a watchalong, which is what matters.
Continue readingHappy Monday! It’s also Vijay’s birthday, and Amrish Puri, but I decided Tom Alter is the one I care about the most.
Continue readingHappy Monday! And we will be happy today! Not that you should feel guilty if you are still feeling down about yesterday’s news, but I am going to work to make this a happy place today where you can come and be lifted up.
Continue readingHappy Monday!!! I am not ready for work. Albie Dog woke me up at 6am to take him for a walk, and now of course I can’t get back to sleep. I’ll finally get the sleepies just as my work day starts, I am sure.
Continue readingHappy Monday! And HAPPY MADHURI WEEK!!!! The greatest week in May, I think. I’ll have to figure out a lovely celebration for this year.
Continue readingYaaaaaaay, Trisha! Secretly very good actress of Tamil/Telugu/Malayalam cinema (I say secret because her acting is so natural, you think she is just being herself, and then you see 5 different Trisha movies and realize she is totally different in each of them), who I am VERY INVESTED in getting married to Rana Daggubati. Oh, and also Happy Monday.
