Well, monday was actually really, really productive at work. I didn't get too distracted with other things and stayed on task. That was nice. Left work a bit late (but I got in way late so that was okay) and then headed to glenn's for an adjustment. Their baby, I think its andrew, is gonna be a line backer. He's a big boy and so cute! The adjustment was good and this was one of those times when I just wanted to sleep afterwards. I was very weary. Got home and mel and mingo were moving the trailer. Got the rest of mingo's stuff out of the sca closet..though there still the box of booze to return. Eh. I then laid down and was descended upon by the cats for snuggles, warmth on the places that were sore and a bit of a sleep. I got up about 30 mins later, made myself a really nummy salad and then I felt much better. I cleaned up the front room and then settled in to finish watching an episode of FK until folks arrived.

cecilia_mowebray was the only person for a long while which meant I got to chat with the BFF twice in on week! woot! We kibitzed on many things and I got to clean up my studio while we chatted which was nice. Then Sioux showed up and more chatting ensued. Mel was home by then and it was a good and enlightening evening. Folks left about 9 ish and then it was showers and bedtime.

I got a Jessicurls Hair Products sampler pack in the mail yesterday so I tried out the hair wash and the daily conditioner. All of the products are for folks with curly hair. Now mine isn't uber curly but it does need the extra moisture that other products have not been helping me with. I figured I'd try it and see. It was nice to use last night and today my ends are softer. I think I will do a deep condition later this week and see how that works. I'm all about getting my hair longer and healthier and this is all sulfate free stuff which is nice. I'll keep you posted.

It was very hard to get out of bed this morning. The girls had been snuggling with me most of the night and I it was really nice and warm in bed. I so didn't want to get up. But here we are at work and things are moving along. We get free lunch today due to a dept all hands and that should be good. Hopefully its good food. My plan after work is to mail off packages that need to be mailed, do a small work out and then got to practice. Yup, I'm finally making it back out. I figure I'll work on some slow work and then do some pick ups and see how I do.

Work was annoying..fixed another piece of hardware that someone munched and didn't tell us. Grrr. That just annoys me. Was in a peer review where the person was 1) not organized and 2) didn't annotate their analysis so we could understand it. 1.5 hours of my time wasted for piss poor planning and lack of follow through. Grrr. Anyhoo. The afternoon was better with 2 productive meetings about stoopid hardware issues (see the first point) and then I went home. I got home, had mel take a picture of my hair in case it got chopped weird. I was pleased with the cut and she only cut off what I wanted versus what she thought I needed. She did a very nice job on my eye brows and I was pretty happy minus the fact that it took a while. I got home about 615 and got going on making dinner. It was very basic being soft tacos but I made dinner again...I think I'm on a roll. Was eating with folks started arriving but it was good.

We shoved to after some discussion and got going on scribble. Folks were painting away and I got tired of detail work and was getting a head ached. Icka was perusing the bookshelf so I started grabbing things down for use in my classes. I need to make some photo copies this week and by the scribal supplies. I'm still debating if I want to have dip pens or the markers since this is an intro class. Gah...the laurel sensibilities versus the engineer sensibilities are warring. Chatted up folks before they left and then I got the kitchen cleaned up, the front room reorganized and I practice my mandolin for another 30min run. Its going okay but trying to get the chords to work with my hands is weird. Not sure what I can do about that...need to talk to some guitar players for some advice since I just can't seem to get any 3 fingered chords correct. My hands hurt after that (4 straight nights of playing) so I soaked them in wax after my shower. Though with the new bathroom config it only fits on the bathroom in the master bedroom so I think I will be putting the wax in the kitchen from now on for use. I read some more in JS&MN and finally get to hear a bit about JS that isn't in the foot notes.

I awoke this morning not wanting to get out of bed at all. Seriously comfy and tired and I kept having dreams of going back to bed....course opposite of those dreams were dreams of musical instruments in an abandoned warehouse. So, hopefully today will go quickly so I can get home, cut out the one dress I have in mind and get sewing on it and my other hangerock.
