I've had to psych myself up to go into work this week. I think I'm just tired of being a target. Many times I've wondered if getting the promotion is worth all the political and social struggle I'm dealing with now. My answer to that question is still up in the air.
I DID however get my first promotional paycheck, and that, along with some overtime money, I was able to buy my plane tickets for my December vacation. This is a record early for me. Which is a nice load off my shoulders and to-do list.
So, the spiders are out in Washington. Have been for awhile, but they tend to make Attie and my walks more interesting. We encounter the following a lot, especially in the mornings:
No, its not a picture of Atticus, although I would like to point out hes patiently waiting for me to take my picture. Its the hanging leaf in the right of the picture. Its kind of hard to tell what it is, so I took a second picture, like "look at this magic leaf thats floating without any help", but it didn't quite turn out and then someone came along and I felt a little dumb for taking pictures of a leaf that was literally hanging by a spider thread.
If you're wondering why the pictures are so big, I just found out if I size them "extra large", then I dont have to bother formatting any of my typing. Which is the main thing that annoys me about this new blogger. Plus, why wouldn't you want to see a leaf and my wierdly wrinkly digits in extra-large size?
In other news, I finally got a cut bad enough to use some of my pickle bandages. Thats been cool. Unfortunately, it happened to my index finger that accidentally got mangled by the sewing machine, but oh well. I've been excited to show off my bandages.
One 12 hour shift to go. I can do it.
"When by now and tree by leaf
She laughed his joy
She cried his grief
Bird by snow and stir by still
Anyone's any was all to her."
