Flonase has changed the entire dynamic of my sinus infliction that I had grown so used to. I swear to you that today I heard squeaking in my ear when I blew my nose. It was so loud in my ear, I had to ask my officemate if he could hear it, but it stopped making the noise when I tried to demonstrate it for him.
Today has been a good day. Last night the big A read fairytales to me. It was super nice.
Today during the Meeting of Doom, I realized that I am making progress. Not tons of progress, but I really think that I will be able to get finished by September and man - oh - man that would be such a beautiful thing.
Tonight Winemonkey is coming in and we are going to mingle with a bunch of wine industry people. His friend who owns a cork company invited us to his soiree before the conference tomorrow. Maybe I will also get to network. Look out enology labs… here I come!
Well… I was potentially in a very dangerous situation this morning. Around 4:30 am Winemonkey go up to go pee. I guess he went to get a drink of water, but instead bumped the glass (a GIANT glass mind you…) and spilled the water. Onto the power strip by the night stand. And on the corner of the bed. And onto the floor. And the little radio/CD player I keep under my bed. Now, water on the powerstrip was dangerous enough. But, it also landed right on the one and ONLY electrical outlet in my bedroom. How, you may say to yourself, does water get onto the elecretical outlet when they are generally on the wall and you can’t really spill something INTO the wall. Well… when you live in a house that is really really old (more than 100 years) the electrical outlets are in the floor. So I spent the next 30 minutes trying not to think of the reprocussions of water seeping in around the two extension cords that were plugged in. But all I could see in my imagination were sparks flying everywhere and my new TV getting blown out and my new electric blanket getting shorted out and the alarm clock shorting out and Winemonkey being late for work because the alarm clock was shorted out…………………………….
Needless to say, my day started at 4:30 this morning and hasn’t ended yet.
I say it’s MY BIRTHDAY TODAY! And since I am still in my 20’s, I will tell you that I am celebrating my big fat 27th one. And at lunch I ordered a mixed drink and they asked for my ID!
Today I have three things I would like to post about:
1. Yesterday my two officemates and my Advisor talked for 30 minutes about how to rearrange the furniture in the office so that the three of us fit better. I thought that today we would make a plan and try it. Instead, I came in and had to spend 2 hours setting my computer back up and scrubbing my “new” desk. They couldn’t wait to make a plan. They just started moving shit after I left. That was a little irritating, but now that I took the time to clean my desk and organize stuff, I like it better.
2. I am originally from Pittsburgh and a friend of mine from there called and asked if we (meaning Winemonkey and I) were watching the Steelers play football. I explained that Winemonkey isn’t really that into football and that we haven’t been watching. After I got off the phone, my office mate said, “Men and football are like women and aroma candles.” He was implying that men are only really into football when there are other men to hang out with while watching football…. But women and aroma candles?!? I thought it was a funny comparison.
3. We are going to Moroccan food tonight for dinner. You know what that means? Eating the whole meal without silverware and a BELLY DANCER! Good times. Fun times. I love this restaurant and I am so glad that we are going for my birthday.
