As I’ve said before, the cat loves to drink in the tub.  As soon as I’m finished she jumps in and starts to lick the bottom.

While I was in the shower, she hid between the shower curtain and liner in a narrow escape fro the evil shower spray.

And yes, here she was braving the sprayto [...]

WHEEZEHA

November 15, 2007

The animal loves the shower.  While I’m in the shower in the morning, she jumps on the edge of the tub. She stealthily stalks the water in her quest to drink from the bottom of the tub. This morning, my body was blocking the water and preventing it from hitting the back wall…but I stepped [...]

I’m going to go see an apartment on Sunday during an open house–it’s in a building I’m interested in.  The asking price of apartments in the building has increased 10% in the past year.   I really can’t afford the asking price, or even 5% below asking.   But I think it’s worth seeing what’s there. 
I do love [...]

today, oy vey

November 13, 2007

Today…rhymes with oy vey.  I spent a lot of work time today re-doing something I had already done.  Damn shitty software.  I tiold my boss that we’d be changing software should be have future problem. Grumph.
My predecessor (2 back) at the job visited today.  I had been wondering why I had not been invited to [...]

But why??

November 12, 2007

I work in an area that is usually full of government workers, but they are off today and things are quiet.
I’ll be leaving within the hour to go to Bed, bath and B3yond to buy kitchen and bathroom “stuff”–I think that’s the technical term. I want a steamer, a fancy garbage pail and glasses for TG.  [...]

Be my little clinging vine

November 11, 2007

I had my first post-marathon run today.  It was an easy 3.4 miles and I was sorry when it was over. It was under 40 degrees during the run and while that made walking to our meeting place a bit chilly, the run itself felt good.  I’m debating whether to do a run during the [...]

Grimeathon

November 10, 2007

It’s always so peculiar when Saturday isn’t a running day. I allowed myself to sleep until 9AM! It was truly glorious, though I could have kept going. But I wanted to make it to the Greenmarket to do my business.
I have to admit that I feel sad because the market in November is getting more [...]

Fool

November 9, 2007

This makes me very happy.  Yes, I’m a bloodthirsty fool.
I am almost recovered.  There is still an unruly muscle in my leg, but it isn’t terrible.  Sunday, I’ll go out an do a 3.3 mile run with R. I have to admit that I’m looking forward to it.  It would be great if I could also [...]

Run home before it dries

November 8, 2007

On Monday, I came into work and my boss congratulated me.
Me: Thanks.
Her: Where’s the medal?
Me: Um…it’s at home.
Her: But I’m very disappointed–I thought you’d wear it today.
Me:  Well…I…could bring it in tomorrow.
[next day]
Me: Hi–I brought the medal in (passing it towards her).
Her:  NO!! [me being confused]  I want you to wear it!  Put it on…Yeah, [...]

November 7, 2007

I was able to walk down the stairs with my laundry! And it didn’t hurt!  My quads are much better–I would guess that they will be back to normal by tomorrow. 
Last night R and I went out to celebrate the marathon at a sort of nouveau Korean place in the neighborhood.  In addition to some [...]
