I just can't seem to get my mind to focus on work today! All I can think about is the 4-day weekend...
I'm thirsty right now and I have nothing to drink. I don't even have the 75c I need to get a drink from the vending machine. I probably have a total of 23c in nickels and pennies. I totally forgot about that and I didn't leave for lunch... I guess I'll have to be a bum and ask around to see if I can borrow from someone. Spare change, spare change?

Ahhh...refreshment. I now owe the Manufacturing Manager 75c but my thirst has been quenched by a delicious can of Diet Coke. Aspartame rocks my world.
So, John and I were thinking about moving to North Brookfield to a bigger and nicer apartment. However, after seriously considering it, we have decided to stay where we are until we're ready for a house. The new place would have been just a bit more expensive for rent but it was also heated with natural gas, which I hear is going to be expensive this year. I guess this means I'm going to get to work really unpacking our stuff that has been boxed for almost a year. I think I might do a bit of painting and maybe I'll make some curtains. The more I change the homely into homey, the happier I'll be while I live there. I have cobalt glass in my kitchen, which my friend Jenn tells me is bad because it supresses appetite. Wait...appetite supression is bad? Loves it. I'm keeping it and probably buying more cobalt glass dishes...just to spite Jenn!
I'm looking forward to erecting the Christmas tree this year! It's a smallish fake tree, but I love it. I'll just put it on top of a table or box to make it appear taller. We don't have a huge living room, so it would be stupid to get a big tree anyway. Last year, I went with red, gold and ivory. This year I probably won't change it much...maybe just add the "family" ornaments we got from John's parents last year. Also, I want to get a "2005" ornament. For our wedding last year, my mother's friend Judy got us a Lenox wedding couple ornament with the year on it...only one problem, the people are BLACK! They are light-skinned, so my mother's friend didn't notice...I guess she just thought they were a very well tanned wedding couple. We still hung it on our tree and (as long as it doesn't break) we will probably do so every year. It's a conversation piece! So...I want to have an ornament for every year, from now on.
I'm trying to figure out how to make an Excel sheet to add hours and minutes. It seems you can't just put (for example) 148:32 in a cell formatted for time and add it to something like 35:56. I'm thinking I'm just going to have to make separate columns for hours and minutes and the person using it will just have to do the math if the minutes are over 60...unless I do even more formulizing - which doesn't excite me.
I had a dream that my mother died last night. It's funny, really... Last week, I had a Dr.'s appt. scheduled which was subsequently bumped, but that's irrelevant. All morning leading up to the appt., I was freaking out thinking the Dr. was going to find something terribly wrong with me and tell me I had 3 months left to live. I have no mysterious aches/pains/ailments, so it's completely irrational and I know that, but there's nothing I can do about it. I try to make myself relax, take deep breaths, pray, etc., but nothing works. I am pretty sure I gave myself an anxiety attack a couple of months ago in a similar situation. As soon as the Dr. told me I was fine, I felt fine. I am going to give myself a heart attack. In my dream, my mother was doing the same thing (freaking out before a Dr.'s appt.) and she died. They told me there was no way they could do an autopsy and find out the actual cause of death because she had died in "terror".
Anyone know any tried and true ways of calming oneself?
