@Purpsy: We all need reminders of things once in a while. I'm happy to help. Hopefully I helped. :3

... and yes, good morning. I slept late... and am still trying to wake up, so I'm not sure what's on the "to do" list today just yet. I know hubby wants to go back to the gym... and the house needs some attention, but I'll probably postpone that (again) XD

@Purpsy: Yeah... maybe everyone is still sleeping in? XD
At least with the trash on the snow, it won't smell... but it might be a mess to clean up... good luck with that :3

I'm still trying to wake up. Some of the feeling of not being awake is the pollen, but I actually slept last night, so I'm not sure what's going on. I'm not liking it.

I moved my car so hubby can rake the leaves, and I made breakfast for myself. That's "productive", riiiiiight?? XD

@Purpsy: I'm glad you managed the task without slipping... that sounds like it would be quite the unpleasant mess if you did slip.

Yeah... I'm still groggy. I feel like I could go back to sleep. This is... sad? weird? unexpected? ... something. Did I overdo it at the gym yesterday? I really didn't do much - just walked on the treadmill and did a couple of the arms/shoulders machines really... /shrug/ oh well. Maybe by the time I find the bottom of this cup of coffee I'll feel a bit more awake.

So you're hoping to be productive today? What's on your list?

@Wildfire: ill cheer you guys on to keep up the gym trips! <3
I've had yet another busy weekend. I'm headed to my workplace tomorrow morning. It'll be interesting to get back to my workplace during the week. o3o

@Koah: lol - thank you. We never made it yesterday. Hubby spent time cleaning up the yard and trying to get my son's truck to start (batteries are dead) so we can do something with it to help him get it to WY... and I just felt physically groggy all day (and since I was going to go to the gym with hubby, but his tasks were taking too long and he kept taking breaks...). Anyway, today, I have some errands to do; one of which hopefully includes making it to the gym.

So why are you going in to your workplace today? You're comfortable enough leaving mom to watch the daycare by herself, it sounds like... are there other reasons? I hope everything goes well for you today :3

@Purpsy: LOL... yeah, drawing can be a nice relaxing thing to do. It can also be a pain in the arse. But I miss being able to just go and do it. It has been far too long since I've just sat and drew or painted regularly :3

Thanks for reminding me about the laundry that needs to be switched! I just got back from running some errands...

I hope you get your laundry done... and anything else that you need to do today

@Wildfire: Work today was very... interesting. I was one of 4 employees in the 'official' meeting. Boss man [total hippy], wanted to let us know our jobs were secure and beat around the bush to announce that he fired an entire location [the one next to my house], and my sister [our boss], was in the other room firing their long-term employee. [he's not good at his job. Cx ]
Now there's an employee skeleton crew of 5 total people doing day-to-day work. o_o' from about 20.
anyway, so, I actually knew about this but I had to act surprised and nervous because my fellow co workers had no idea. <.< So we went about a normal work day, which, I smiled about because it was freedom from the daycare. o3o My co workers are all adults and although, they looked relieved, they also were on edge. Makes sense.

Good morning......... but UGH! This pollen... /dead/ ... apparently today it's grass pollen that's assaulting me. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. I never had allergies until I moved to Florida.

Anyway................ I was thinking about going to a class at the gym this morning but since the class starts at 9 (and it's 8:45am now) and I'm still struggling to see straight (both in terms of caffeine consumption but also the watery eyes from the pollen), that's not going to happen. I need to figure out what I'm cooking today, and whether or not it requires a trip to get groceries. And there's vacuuming that needs to happen. And... I have some seeds I should put in the ground in the garden but the pollen is scaring me a bit XD

So, again, good morning. How are you guys doing today so far?

@Purpsy: It's not really "another" pollen attack... at this time of year, it's just a constant thing... So, although we don't have any snow, we get the kind of pollen that sometimes we really can measure with a ruler! XD (no, I'm not even kidding about that)

I'm glad you got your laundry done yesterday, Purpsy.... although I'm really sorry to hear that you didn't sleep well at all last night. Are you able to take a nap? Or will that just mess up tonight's sleep schedule? What are you procrastinating doing today?

How much snow did you get?

@Purpsy: Thanks for the thought, but the pollen particles are far too small for a mask to do anything anyway, really. Besides, I absolutely loathe the things. The allergies are higher today, I think, because (1) I was outside for a little bit yesterday, (2) the dogs were outside longer than usual yesterday so they brought it in (3) the pollen type is shifting from trees to grass (4) the dogs are shedding and the hair isn't helping (5) I vacuumed and all the dog hair and dander that the vacuum didn't pick up is still settling... and (6) hubby brought home mozzarella sticks from the store, so the cheese isn't helping. Yes, my car is yellow because of the pollen, and the pollen is accumulating in the nooks and crannies of yards and sidewalks now. /eyeroll/

LOL. There are times here too when the laundry gets done but just not folded... fortunately, that hasn't happened in a while. But I get where you're coming from with that :3

Why isn't your hair drying with the blow-dryer?
