Back at work for the new year.
Jan. 5th, 2011 11:40 amWell, I only forgot two things to bring to work today. A new calendar and my log book. The calendar is a meh, but the log book has my wonderfully detailed notes of what I'm supposed to be working on. Lol. Oh, well, I can get to the nitty gritty tomorrow I guess.
I managed to get errands run yesterday, picked up my new glasses as seen ( here in a fuzzy cell phone picture ). After that appointment I ran around and did some more errands and picked up the good hair ball stuff that Obsidian likes versus the replacement stuff they had at petsmart. Petsmart has changed to all GNC brand pet medicines and while I normally like their stuff, obsidian only likes the malt flavored petromalt. She's such a brewer's cat. I got some groceries shopped for and am trying out a new tea today that was suggested by the midwife. We shall see if I like it.
Got home and rested but in general I didn't cough much and only blew my nose a bit throughout the day. I did manage to get a pantry kung fu dinner in the crock pot. I put chicken thighs dusted liberally with ginger and cinnamon over a bed of onions and peppers which I then doused in coconut milk. I cooked it for 3+ hours and it was tasty with a bit of cheese put on top. Nummy. Doc wants me back on my high protein lower carb for the rest of the pregnancy so I'm obliging though we need to restock some of my favorites to cook that way. Mel was very happy with me making dinner and he got the kitchen cleaned while I was able to de-christmas the house. I hope he can take down the lights outside and take down my wreath. I need to jam it all back in the closet at some point tonight and we have more than last year. Hmm..gonna have to get creative.
Getting the planning stages on for Estella now and I have a long to-do list of things that have to get done in January. I'll probably post that later but most of it is baby related and house related stuff. Oh, we did get gifted a huge box of handme down clothes from Finnbar and his wife. I only just peaked but its some cute stuff.
Work is okay, its still pretty quiet and folks haven't returned in lots of areas yet. Looks like lots are taking this week off. That would have been nice but I need to now conserve PTO to get in line with the baby getting here. Such is life.
Well, off to work on that dastardly report from last year.
