every day's a new dumb adventure
That weird girl on the muni
Normally it's someone else, but today it was me. I was taking pics for tomorrow's actually nevermind and probably looking a little weird doing so (low angled floor shots). Hopefully I at least got a good shot.
Me day.
It's been a busy last few weeks and we're headed straight into holiday
madness. When I realized I was maxed out on vacation again, I decided
to take the day to recharge my batteries. I'd have slept all day, but
my neighbor is doing some sort of construction in her backyard (which
happens to be next to my bedroom window). So instead of sleeping the
day away, I went about all the things I needed to do (car appts,
laundry) as well as some things I didn't (bubblebaths, and manipedis).
Overall, it was a nicely wasted day.

Pizza party
Before this evening's skee ball game, Laura and I grabbed a slice at
nizario's. The crust is bready good, but pizza is overall just so so.
It also does not, for the record, contain any sort of magic skeeball
powers. In fact it might be the opposite. My game was terrible
tonight. I had a lot of excuses but truth is I just sucked it. We had
last week off and the lack of practice showed. I rolled as if I hadn't
ever skee'd before. Sorry ordinay skeeple, I clearly need a do over!

the big bang theory
today was a day of chaos and excitement. it started off pretty normal (well actually better than normal the weather was amazing and butterflies were twirling about), but there was a safety team meeting at work. our building has an annual refresher course (2 hour burn time for fire doors, don't forget to call the building after you dial 911 in a medical emergency so they can hold the elevator, that sort of thing), and it's taught by an awesome retired police dude.
almost immediately following our training, a few loud popping noises were heard. and by loud i mean i thought there was a gunman somewhere. turns out a car caught on fire on the street below our building. our floor started to panic, but our safety team calmed them down.
this pretty much ate my whole morning, and then later it was too hot to think. actually i take that back, it wasn't that it was too hot, it was that the air was stale and stagnant. luckily it went by quickly and the next thing i knew it was time to go visit laura. my hair has been out of control, and so i asked her to do her magic. it's not my favorite haircut, but laura and i have a plan and we need a few more months to get to the right length. so snip snip clean it up.
and now for the excitement you've all been waiting for. the car fire that caused a crazy 15th floor panic.
ps. thanks to jeff for the title. it's even better now than when he suggested it the first time because big bang, get it, that car blew up!
Monday Me-day
My amount of PTO is creeping up to the max again, and I've been so
oddly busy lately that my house has spun out of control. To fix both
of these problems I took today off to hang out with myself and my
house. It wasn't exactly a fun day, but it was a needed maintenance
day. Laundry was done, dishes put away, eyebrows groomed, closet
cleaned out (including a whole box for donating), giant stack of mail
dealt with, bills paid, hair washed, and dinner made. Ridiculosly
domestic but it needed to be done. Especially that closet. Here's the
after, but be sure to check the before. And yes the before actually
has a giant stack of clothes on a table. Thankfully it's all clear now.
Ps. this cleaning spree may or may not have been prompted by watching
an episode of hoarders. Seriously whenever I see that show, I
immediately feel the need to throw away stuff and clean something. I
guess that's a good thing?

Sleeping in public
I haven't been sleeping well lately. There's been a lot of tossing and
turning, not to mention waking up with sore arms (I'm a side sleeper).
Because of this I thought maybe it's time to look at a new mattress.
Ours is probably 7 or 8 years old, and although it's not incredibly
old it's not exactly amazing. So we went down to Geary street where
there are like a million mattress places. We narrowed down the
multitude of choices to a few contenders, but to be honest after a
while it was all the samesame. I even started to question whether or
not our bed even needed to be replaced.
In the end we went home empty handed. I think we're going to end up
waiting for the next big sale somewhere. Or something.
