Only I

would:

1. have trouble buttoning a blouse because I kept getting the cloth underneath entangled in the buttonhole,
2. snagged my glasses with my phone case strap, ripping them off my face WHILE DRIVING (fortunately while still in the parking lot, so I was able to stop suddenly, since I can't see anything clearly unless it's about two inches from my face),
3. burned my foot by dropping hot bean & cheese burrito filling on it while trying to eat dinner

all in one day. What can I say, it's been a bit of a Monday. :)

Me on a typical Monday

This has been travelling around Facebook; I'm not sure where it originated. But it definitely describes this particular Lisa.

I am having some trouble with the time change

It doesn't help that it's been raining heavily nearly all day today. Yesterday I ran late to my friends' house for the game preparations. Today I managed to get to work on time but didn't get up till 7:50 (I have to be there at 8:30).

Almost immediately, Monday happened. The copier ran out of toner five minutes after I put my stuff down, but before I'd grabbed anything from the cafeteria or put my stuff away. I went to put some toner in, and it turns out someone had done so in the past, and instead of leaving me a note or putting the empty bottle on my desk, he or she put the empty bottle back where it the supplies are kept so it looked like a full bottle was still there. I check the supplies about twice a week to make sure there's enough, and as soon as I put the last toner in, I order another couple. But unfortunately, there was no toner, but rather an empty bottle masquerading as toner. So I put a sign on the copier, sent out an e-mail, and ordered toner, which will take 3-5 business days to get here. Did I mention that it was the day the board met, when there are all these directors giving reports? Fortunately, most people seemed to have done their copying and printing on Friday. As it is, the machine will scan to PDF but not produce any pages from the document server, printer, or copier. :(

But I wasn't irritated too long; I was able to get breakfast even though technically they normally take things off the heat table by the time I got there. Then there was the fact that I'd brought an orchid and a sun star plant (Ornithogalum dubium, a plant from South Africa that is very showy and orange--I've included a picture to the left.) to work to cheer things up, potted up my big African violet, used the old pot to hold a baby plant that had grown from a broken leaf and gave it to one of my co-workers, and put another couple of leaves into a tiny pot of soil to root. So I kept calm and carried on, and breathed and looked at pretty flowers. :) Life got better.

I got my work done, came home, and now I'm contemplating a short nap (maybe a half-hour or 45 minutes; anything else and I tend to go into a deeper sleep and not wake up till morning. :) Then I have a few things to do around the house. I'll try to write later.

I guess it's Monday

1. I've been out of sorts all day.
   
2. My neck and knees have been bothering me to the point that I took some naproxen and am seriously considering going to bed for awhile.
   
3. I applied for the job at the library, but never received the promised notification or code, so I'm not sure the application went through. I have a call in to Human Resources.
   
4. I just had that dratted crown come off again.
   

:(

On the plus side, I knew they were drawing labs at the doctor, but what I forgot was that was all they were doing, so no co-pay and I got in and out within about 30 minutes, so I got to work much earlier than I expected.

Also, I got a ride home. So that was good. I really didn't want to come home on the bus.

Okay, off to lie down for a bit. Hopefully I won't do my post weekend game crash.

New agenda (for tomorrow, since it didn't work out Saturday)

1. Get up at 6 am.
   
2. Do laundry.
   
3. Finish my job application that's due by 9 am.
   
4. Remember not to eat, because I have a doctor's appointment and they're drawing labs.
   
5. Go to my doctor's appointment that is at 9:30 am.
   
6. Go to work.
   
7. Work.
   
8. Come home.
   
9. Have fun somehow.
   

PS I didn't do laundry so I could focus on the application. It will have to be something to do later this evening.
