April Showers...

I'm glad it's thursday: that much closer to Friday.

This week has been unbelievably busy at work: last week, my boss took a bad fall at home and broke her leg - really did a number on herself: snapping both her fibia and tibia, and shattering something (my medical terminology fails me) else as well. Landed herself right in the hospital for 5 hours of surgery, at the end of which, she was too swollen to be stitched up completely. They were finally able to finish stitching yesterday, so she'll be released this afternoon. Unfortunately, this meant that I was on my own for three days this week at work, as the sole member of the technical support team working the day shift. This makes for a long day - and a longer week. Denise is wheelchair-bound for several days and won't be able to drive for 6 weeks. We have no idea when she'll be back at work, but I pray it's soon. I miss my buddy and my relief!

I really need to scrapbook tonight. My Ofoto order came in yesterday - yippee! - so I have bunches of photos to scrapbook. This round includes our trip to Victoria as well as Easter pictures, and some miscellaneous shots I took to create a page about my name.

I've been organizing my studio for weeks... Each week, as the weekend nears, I threaten to finish organizing - and I never do! I do, however, make a little progress each week, which feels good... And, hey! I've been able to see my floor for about 8 weeks straight. This is a huge achievement for me. My mother would be proud.

Last night, Matt and I went to the Mariner's game, buying some last-minute tickets off of a colleague of mine. Fantastic seats: section 128, right behind home plate, row 25... It was a sad, sad game, and I fear that as the second sad, sad game in a row, it's a precursor to a sad, sad season. (I'm so pessimistic!) Otherwise, it was fun. I bought a pink fisherman-style Mariner's hat. (When did I become such a girly-girl??)

It's raining outside. I used to not mind so much, but now that we've moved to this new office building and parking is so expensive, I've begun riding the bus to work. The trip here is not bad, and the busses run every 6 minutes, so there's no "Transportation Anxiety," as my mother calls it. Matt picks me up from work on most days, but today is unsure. With him going back to school, his free time is at a minimum - but I'm so proud of him, so I'll gladly ride the bus home in the afternoon if it means supporting his educational pursuits... But in the rain? Hmmm. Well... Okay, I guess...

Lunch time is here, so I guess I'll go find myself some grub.
