brightbluegirlI really like working on the weekends. With no-one else here, there's no distractions. No phone calls. Nobody talking. No emails. It's just me and the work. And even if it takes me a couple of hours to get into it, once I hit my stride, I get much more done than I would on a typical work day.
I've already done more than I would in a typical work day. I'm going to do a bit more of this, then study some requirements for another package I've got a meeting for on Tuesday morning. At 7:30am.
Did I mention I have a meeting Tuesday at 7FUCKING30 in the MORNING???
*sigh*
At least that means I'll get out early.
I'm drinking herbal tea to keep me interested in what I'm doing, and to keep me away from the communal chocolate that's calling me. The first 2 cups I had were lemongrass. They reminded me of sitting at the kitchen table with Andrew during the weekends, sipping tea and chatting as we watched the wind go through the trees. I miss that. Lately we've been forcing ourselves out every weekend, so we can explore Vancouver. And it's been great... but gone are our lazy weekends, where we have oatmeal pancakes, or eggs florentine (I have a great hollandaise sauce recipe that's low-cal), and then sit and sip tea, maybe have a nap, do our grocery shopping, make a brilliant and healthy lunch, and then go out in the late afternoon for a walk.
I think, soon, we'll have to do that. My birthday weekend, perhaps.
I can't decide what movie to see. Am I in a silly, brainless mood? (School of Rock), or am in an artistic, uplifting, fight for what you believe in mood? (Whale Rider). I can't decide!!!
Part of me wants to rent movies, but I do want to spend some time outside of the apartment. When it comes down to it, I just haven't spent that much time DOING anything since Andrew left.
Today I am SO FARTY. I'm extra farty. The really smelly kind. I'm glad no one else is at work, but I feel sorry for whoever sits next to me at the movies tonight.

No Kidding!
Date: 2003-10-11 09:12 pm (UTC)Your last section made me laugh out loud, alone in my room. What movie did you wind up seeing? (I want to see The Rundown.)
Nearly every time you mention something you make, I want the recipe! (How do you make your oatmeal pancakes?) Really, the only thing I wasn't particularly interested in was the tofu stuff, but that's 'cause I don't much like tofu. . . And even that interested me in that knowing-for-the-sake-of-knowing kind of way. Ya know? I always want to know how others cook, especially since I haven't been cooking for myself. Strange logic, that, even in my own mind.
I'm in a wacky mood today, hence the rambly-ness. Forgive me? ~ Youmna
