An Old MOTD:
So much of what we call management consists in making it difficult for people to work.

Mid-Week Update
• Tabby had her follow-up session of poking and prodding with the radiology dept. last week. Her condition has improved, but not gone away all together. So she's still on antibiotics and we have to repeat this whole deal in a year's time. Which really sucks.
• I'm into my second week of bootcamp and I must tell you ... it's kicking my ass. Which is exactly what I wanted. I can't describe specifically what I do (as I mentioned before), but I think it's safe to tell you that we do something called Crossfit twice a week which just shreds me. The other days aren't exactly recovery days either.
• As a result of the above item, I always want a nap. And if I don't get a nap, I want to go to sleep at 8 PM. Too bad there are things to be done.
• I'm having 10 people from my mom's group over on Fri night for game night. I've promised snacks and I have no idea what those are going to be. Feel free to send me suggestions if you have any!
• I'm so freaking sick of green leafy things I might just go all postal if I see another head of Asian Bitters. Where the hell are my zucchini??? Stupid hippies.
• On the bright side, I now know like 10 different ways to cook greens. They're mostly variations on two themes, but I'm getting my vitamins (and I say this all British - vit-a-mins), damnit!
• My garden is also now extremely overgrown and has already yielded us two (2!!) teeny tomatoes. They were pretty tasty too. I have high hopes for the squash as well.
• Must research garden pruning/cutting back on the web when I get a chance.
• I found a new piece of software for keeping my maniacal schedule (I was using Excel before), called Achieve Planner. They've got a free trial if you're interested.
• Bought this T'shirt of Shirt.Woot. It pretty much sums up how I feel about this whole political process. Vote Moose!
• I almost lost my wedding band ... like for good. That would've sucked. Matt retrieved it though. More on that later ... tomorrow?
• Our pumpkin crossed neutral borders and tried to strangle our tomatoes, complete with cute little curly strangling tendrils (like the pumpkin-into-coach scene in Disney's Cinderella). Kinda glad we only planted one.
• Tomorrow is only Thursday. Bollocks.
