You know that incredibly hyperactive vibe that circulates around a school when there’s bad weather in the forecast and there’s a chance everyone might get tomorrow off?  It happens at work, too.  People are going crazy around here, talking about 26-foot waves (hello, ON THE COASTLINE) and a foot of rain (again, people this was happening on the Gulf), and how we’re OBVIOUSLY not coming in tomorrow.

So.. I’m probably having some wine tonight.  Why not?  We get the day off tomorrow anyway.

Funny little pick me up.. our supplies vendor promised to deliver me some special-order supplies, and he promised to deliver them with a smile.  I had completely forgotten until he sent me an email today saying that he was out of town on business, so he couldn’t deliver as he promised.  I thought that meant not to expect the supplies, but they arrived today.. with a self-portrait of himself, smiling.  He’s a cutie.

Very excited to have a four-day workweek.  And now, this late in the day, it’s just a three-day workweek.

I channeled Caroline this weekend.  She would be so proud of me.  I sunbathed.. nude.. in my backyard.  And I thought of her saying the other night, “Man, my neighbors have seen me naked so much, they’re like, ‘Man, there goes that old whore again… and of course, she’s NAKED.”

So I’m well on my way to being that old nude whore next door.  And it rhymes!

I hate it when colleagues of mine say “HuntsPatch.”  Yes, we are in the south, but let’s face it.. y’all haven’t done any better with the shuttle.  Screw you.

I sent the email this morning about Saturday night at Steph’s, and have gotten no response.  But I think I’ve solved that issue.  Maybe he really HADN’T forgotten.  It’s entirely possible.  He’s usually VERY good with that kind of stuff, and Lord knows he’s been busy lately.  I guess I have to keep in focus the fact that he’s wonderful to me every day of the year.. he needn’t go out of his way for just one day.

(Does that sound believable?)

But lunch with the ladies sounds great.. and a fiesta at Steph’s sounds MARVELOUS!

I just hope that, by that point, everyone I know is in perfect health.

Stay dry, kiddies.  Much love.
