Summer Frostbite

Monday has rolled around yet again. If it's any indication as to how this week is going to go - the first thing I did when I came into work this morning was spill a giant cup of water all over me. I would love to say I did this for the fun of it but no. I was setting up my computer and reaching underneath to plug it in when I knocked one of my picture frames over which knocked the cup of water over I left on my desk from last week which spilled ALL OVER my shirt. Not to mention that it's just about freezing in my office so I'm lucky the water didn't turn to ice.

Speaking of... why can't buildings be set to a normal temperature during the summer time?! Why must it be artic cold to counteract the heat outside?? I'm all for temps between 67-71 in an office but here it usually ranges between 55-60 (I kid you not). It's almost impossible to dress like a normal human being. You want to dress for the heat outside but you also don't want to freeze to death inside. So today I dressed for warmth even though it's a steamy 90 degrees outside. I'm hoping to usher in the fall early (or at least break the heat wave) with the color scheme i'm wearing. I have a burnt orange 1/4 sleeve shirt, brown pants, and orange & brown flops. There's nothing bright and summery about me today - lol.

This summer is flying by and I can't even handle it. Can you all believe I have yet to lay my rear end on a beach?!? There is something so severely wrong with that. I live in Jersey - i'm supposed to be parked at the Jersey Shore during the summertime. Apparently not this season. I'd like to get there just once though - just ONCE. Is that too much to ask?? I can't complain because i've had some great weekends but i'm determined to beach it in August. Maybe i'll go this coming Sunday - who's in??

I took a mental health day on Friday. I definitely needed it. This weekend was filled with anxiety, drama, tears, frustration, and pain but also with love, caring, humor, fun, and relaxation. I'm sure I can toss a few more adjectives in there to describe it but I think that's a good summary. Outside of all of the difficulties & turmoil that surround my life right now I am incredibley blessed. I need to focus on the good because it's so easy to get caught up in everything that's going wrong. And there was a lot of good this weekend. I spent some amazing quality time (and some really fun times) with someone who is quickly becoming one of my best friends (I love you E - yep you now get a shout out on the blog since you'll probably read this... lol), I took a road trip and got to know Chrissy's future husband (Jay you are fabulous & funny - as torturous as it was i'm glad Saturday happened because it helped me get to know you more) and spent some much needed time with her (Chrissy - I love you. You have been my friend for nearly a decade now and my life would not be the same without you. I don't know how I could have gotten through Saturday night if you weren't there), I fell in love with New York all over again, I danced, I ate amazing food, I laughed, I spent some fun time outdoors, I played with my friends nieces and there's something so refreshing in the heart & soul of little kids, I watched a good friend get married - all things I need to be thankful for. All things that help me get through this season of my life.

No softball today (and no segue into the next topic of conversation -lol). I'm supposed to do dinner with a friend but I don't think that's happening since I haven't heard from her. Which means I should probably do laundry since i'll have the time tonight. Ugh - I HATE laundry. HATE, HATE, HATE. When i'm rich i'm hiring someone to do it for me. Actually, when i'm rich i'm going to live my life in a bathing suit on a tropical island so I won't need to hire anyone to do my laundry because I won't have any. So, laundry & i'll probably catch up on some shows I have DVR'd. That's my life tonight.

Alright, I should do some actual work. "Looks like someone's got a Case of the Monday's"

Joanna: So, where do you work, Peter?
Peter Gibbons: Initech.
Joanna: In... yeah, what do you do there?
Peter Gibbons: I sit in a cubicle and I update bank software for the 2000 switch.
Joanna: What's that?
Peter Gibbons: Well see, they wrote all this bank software, and, uh, to save space, they used two digits for the date instead of four. So, like, 98 instead of 1998? Uh, so I go through these thousands of lines of code and, uh... it doesn't really matter. I uh, I don't like my job, and, uh, I don't think I'm gonna go anymore.
Joanna: You're just not gonna go?
Peter Gibbons: Yeah.
Joanna: Won't you get fired?
Peter Gibbons: I don't know, but I really don't like it, and, uh, I'm not gonna go.
Joanna: So you're gonna quit?
Peter Gibbons: Nuh-uh. Not really. Uh... I'm just gonna stop going.
Joanna: When did you decide all that?
Peter Gibbons: About an hour ago.
Joanna: Oh, really? About an hour ago... so you're gonna get another job?
Peter Gibbons: I don't think I'd like another job.
Joanna: Well, what are you going to do about money and bills and...
Peter Gibbons: You know, I've never really liked paying bills. I don't think I'm gonna do that, either.
Joanna: Well, so what do you wanna do?
Peter Gibbons: I wanna take you out to dinner, and then I wanna go back to my apartment and watch 'Kung Fu'. Do you ever watch 'Kung Fu'?
Joanna: I love 'Kung Fu'.
Peter Gibbons: Channel 39.
Joanna: Totally.
Peter Gibbons: You should come over and watch 'Kung Fu' tonight.
Joanna: Ok. Ok. Can we order lunch first? Ok.
