gray monday

So, based upon what I did on Friday, I dressed the part today, only to discover that I would be sitting at my desk and then later on the front desk. Figures. I'm grubby, well, not really, but I do not look good in this shade of gray. Fortunately, I wore my Danskos, so I don't feel as dressed down as I would have in my New Balance. However, I do not like this t-shirt. ..shrugs..

Today is cool - like 42 on my way to work this morning - and overcast. I like fall to be cool & sunny! But alas, it's mostly cloudy today.

Also today, I found out that Wednesday is to be my last day. I have been waiting for this for a while. I feel like I've been doing busy work and I didn't get any training on the new system that started this morning, along with the new fiscal year. I have mixed feelings. I have loved being here, but if I'm just puttering with busy work, then I feel like there's no point in my driving 30 miles/day just to be here. At the same time, I am totally panicking because I am struggling financially and need to be working! I hate being me on days like this!

I guess that's better than hating myself for loving you?! lol

On a positive note, yesterday was the renewal of fellowship meetings. I made pumpkin cheesecake, mashed cauliflower (with garlic, mayo, salt & pepper), and roasted carrots (with salt, pepper, garlic & basil). There were no leftover veggies and I ate the last piece of cheesecake with my 2nd cup of coffee this morning. Yum!

Note: I guess I should have realized something was wrong - I rarely have a 2nd cup when I get to work!

Saturday night was fun. The kids, well, I guess they are technically the yp now, went on the nighttime corn maze, then we all went to Steikas for a sing & refreshments. The oldest 4 yp didn't show up (I'd like to share that none of their reasons sounded very valid...), but we had fun without them. After snacking on brownie sundaes - with homemade caramel sauce! - we played "I Never". We laughed A LOT!!! I said to H that I felt old, and she said that I shouldn't feel like that because I was fun and they liked me. Talk about warm fuzzies! :)

I guess that's all for now.
