Anyone else have one of those days that feels impossible to get things done?
I am sure everyone is feeling the gas prices...even worse for those that travel for work. Myself being one of them! Sure I get reimbursed...about a month later...decent rate (or at least used to be)...but it doesn't make it any easier to spend $55 to fill up my 4 door midsize at least once a week. And the IRS simply has not raised the maximum for reimbursement quickly enough if you ask me! (pardon my rant)
So this morning I had every intention of going to my first appt and then to the office (near each other) so I could fax, copy, turn in notes. But the mom cancelled and I am left with two appts this afternoon that are literally within about 5 miles of my house. In the past I would jump in the car and go to the office, happy that I had extra time to get some projects done. Now days I try to work from home when I can(sometimes very productive, sometimes challenging) bc I just don't want to drive 40 miles round trip to go to the office for a few hours when my appts are down the road (I have mixed feelings about this though). Today happens to be one of those challenging work days though...It's been a week...yesterday felt like Monday and today feels like Friday. Crap!
Wil and I had our 8th anniversary on Monday. Usually we have a memorial day bash, but seeing as he had to fly out that afternoon (and I was bummed about it) I decided it was not in the cards this year. He had asked off a long time ago but when travel plans came about he was told he would have to pay his own way to get to his destination on Tuesday if he stayed in town (insert sad emoticon here). Grrr.
I am happy to report (pictures coming soon) that my vegetables are GROWING fast and strong. No buds yet, but the plants/leaves are getting much fuller with all these 90 degree days. I hope to be eating salad real soon!
This morning, when I checked my myspace, I happened to do a search (as I have before) for my long lost little bro (from BB/BS) in Illinois. And there he was. All grown up! I sent him a message. I am hoping he will reply. I am sure I have lost al cool points now that he is in high school, but it would be so great to find out how he is doing. God bless technology!
Alright, my break is over, must make some calls and chart. Wish me productivity!

Mmmmm, salad! I'm looking forward to a bite or two myself (granted that may be all I can have...). BTW--I gotta get that soup recipe from you. That stuff was awesome!
Gas prices and reimbursement checks are both sucking big fat hairy monkey balls right about now. I totally feel your pain...esp when the admin asst over here doesn't get you your check until 2 months down the road.
Dart bus anyone?? Oh, wait..I drive for my job still. Balls.
