yesterday was the most manic monday (yay bangles) i've ever had. i was late getting to the bus - which was even later getting to me - and then we got stopped in serious traffic due to a power outage and a major-intersection turned four-way-stop. (yay seattle traffic!) when i realized we weren't even out of my neighborhood, and it was already 8am, i panicked and called into work. but no one answered - not even voicemail. i got through to someone via cell, and got into the office to discover our phone line was down. and our internet too. got on the phone with qwest, got our calls routed to my cell phone (yeah, let me tell you how thrilled i was to route our company calls to my personal cell phone), and tried to slog through my morning. it was well after 11am before phone/internet were fixed. (have a mentioned we're an "internet company"? i use the term loosely, because we try to avoid labeling ourselves, but we do indeed rely on internet to function.) it turned out that someone had cut a bunch the wires for our phone and internet in our building phone room. we're assuming it was not intended for malice, but still - it was pretty frustrating. and the rest of the day went similarly - one after the other, all occupying a fair amount of my attention. i was toast when i got home, so we opted for a "game" of tennis at the local courts. (yay tennis) dinner was a frittata-gone-bad (read: scrambled eggs with stuff) and entirely unsatisfying, so we treated ourselves to dessert, feeling entirely like we deserved it.
thank goodness today is a normal tuesday. (yay tuesday) and it's my grama's birthday. grama, if you're reading - your card's in the mail, i hope you got it today. happy birthday!!
