I woke up this morning coding HTML hyperlinks in my head. You can see what kind of day I’m setting myself up for.
Actually, we’re supposed to have some sort of office picnic/outing today, so I’ll have the spend the early part of the day scrambling to catch up on deadlines if I plan to participate. I hope that whatever activity they have in mind is not supposed to take place outdoors, because we’re having a full-on thunderstorm with hard rain right now. That’s good news for my lawn, but not such good news when it comes to any attempt to shuttle 15+ people all over town for fun and team building.
The weekend was low-key but in a good way. On Saturday we had our book club discussion of “Lady Chatterley’s Lover.” Despite its inclusion under the mantle of “evil sluts of literature,” we all felt fairly sympathetic to the title character. We’ve decided to abandon the theme (already!) for next time and read Orwell’s “Animal Farm” and “1984.” I had hoped some of my book club guests could stay to watch a movie, but since they included two new moms and someone who constantly travels for work, I understood when more pressing activities called them away.
Wow! There’s a lot of lightning and thunder with this storm. If only I could crawl back into bed and listen to it for a while. But no, I have to shower and make my breakfast shake. I just hope a lightning strike doesn’t knock out our electricity. The good news is that at least I can save some hair-fixing effort today. With this much rain, I think a ponytail is called for.
Thus ends another rambling Monday blog entry. Thank you so much to everyone who commented last week. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy this little spot of writing every morning. It’s even more gratifying to know that other people enjoy it, too.
