December 20

I must admit that yesterday’s post was not a selfie. That’s because I was too busy with real life drama to take a photo of myself. I’m sure that would have been a picture that tells a couple million words, none of them good. Pretty sure some eyeballs would have burned out.

Today is my office Christmas party. We used to host big shindigs with karaoke DJs and food in semi-decent hotels. Not anymore. Who can afford to? The last time we had a hotel Christmas party was about four years ago. We held it the first weekend in January (after New Years’) because it was cheaper to do than before Christmas. So all we have is a ham and salads, fruit, deviled eggs (I made them), meatballs (ditto), and other things.

I’m just sitting here wondering how my hair got so thin.

Back at work.

I am ALWAYS on the phone. It’s amazing I get anything accomplished.

I will be cutting out early today though. Unless a crisis breaks out. I really have to get to that editing I’ve been putting off.

Did I tell you I have resisted many urges to run away from home this week?

Summer solstice. The longest day of the year. Well, it still has 24 hours, but more daylight hours. I love this!

I noticed we have cherries!

The flipping squirrels have not yet attacked.

Summer solstice. It’s all downhill from here.

Got a pedicure yesterday.

Wow. That was a waste of an hour and a half. Well, I like how my toes look, but an hour and a half?

My time is precious.

Is there a speed-pedicure place? And can you point me to them?

The end of the month.

Look! I have a ceiling fan on my head!

Looks like a motorized beanie.

Filter: I can’t remember. It’s been a damned long day.

P.S. I think I’m going to have a theme for next month. Not sure what it will be yet, but next month is still six hours away.

*sprinkle confetti*

My computer is back!

In the meantime, yesterday I did a little weed pulling. My lily of the valley are finally up. These are not weeds, but if you had as many as we have in the yard, you’d change your mind about how fragrant and daintily pretty they are.

Busy day on the agenda.

Work.

Yard work (the best work of all).

Laundry. (Boo hiss).

Work.

Just noticed this ginormous hole in my office window.

Good thing there are two panes. I’m one pane away from the outside.

It’s Mother’s Day.

I celebrated by cleaning the house. I even dusted my mom’s frame.

That’s me in the photo. I was a damned cute baby.

I’d celebrate with her, but she’s been dead for 21 years. I’m thinking my cleaning jag is an homage to her.

Filter: None. Because Mom doesn’t need a filter.

Here is a photo of my skinny wrist:

And a bracelet I just finished.

I’m hoping to pawn it off on my writer friend, LZ Marie. If she takes it, I’m calling it the Merkabah bracelet.

If not, well…it’s more interesting than the wrinkles on my arm.

It was about 10 a.m. before I realized it was only Thursday, not Friday.

Just in time to note the dust bunnies. Thanks to a very awkwardly posed selfie.
