Back to Work

I’m on the train on my way to the office. It has been nearly 3 weeks since I’ve been there, and I find myself dragging my feet. 370+ unanswered emails impatiently await me, and I’m not looking forward to our inevitable encounter.

I was asleep by 10 last night, but that didn’t help me get up at 5:45 as I had planned. My alarms went off in the wrong order (the backup alarm rang first) which threw me completely off. Also, I bought a new thermometer (I take my temperature at 5am for a few specific days each month), which is a piece of junk that won’t light up in the dark and which was rebelliously displaying my temperature in Celsius! It was hard to fall asleep after that. I’ll be returning it to Rite Aid. I might just order the exact same one I’ve been using for 2 years off the internet (I stopped using it when it stopped making beeping sounds and a new battery didn’t bring them back).

To add insult to injury, I have Red Sox tickets for tonight and the forecast says rain rain rain.

So I’m tired, lethargic and anxious about the uncertainty of my plans for tonight.

On the bright side, I’ll see my friends at work today! Unless they wimp out due to the weather and leave me all alone in the office. Wouldn’t that be the cherry on my sundae?… Or mondae, I guess.
