I'm not even sure how I managed to get out of bed because I was so exhausted this morning. I wasn't quite sure why it was so hard today but at any rate I finally did get up. Unfortunately I was about five minutes late to work but I don't think any one really noticed. Work was pretty busy today and because of that it went by fast. There were a few things which came up at work today which got me a little bit upset. I found out that there have been some discussions surrounding one of the areas where I work the most and I was a little disappointed to hear that I wasn't included in any of them. I am not sure if maybe I'm not being aggressive enough about wanting to be involved whenever this area is concerned or what, but it made me feel very left out. The other thing which upset me was a snide comment someone made about my hand washing. It wasn't supposed to be hurtful but because I wasn't in the best mood today I took it really seriously.
I stopped at the Hallmark store after work to find a Birthday present for one of my coworkers I am the closest to. I was thrilled to find what I consider the perfect gift for her and a nice card to go with it. I got her a hand painted window ornament with a scene of a light house. She has a nice condo in Maine and I think this will be perfect for the place....or even here if she wants a daily reminder (which my boyfriend so nicely suggested). I also grabbed a few things and paper towels at the food store before I went home. Tomorrow I'm going to get some flowers to bring to her on her actual Birthday which is Friday.
When I got home I took a shower, folded the blanket which I had washed yesterday and then my boyfriend arrived around 7pm. We made tacos for dinner and then watched the Olympics. I'm so frustrated with the Olympics coverage because the ladies short program was on tonight and of course it didn't really get started until 10:30pm. It's obnoxious that they put it on last, I mean some people have to get up early in the morning! Right after dinner tonight I quickly put some cream on my hands because they were really sore after the last two days. The cream I use the most is Aveeno which I think is amazing. I really like the smell of all of my Bath and Bodyworks lotions but they really aren't the best when my hands are very sore. In fact I think they can be a little bit abrasive and make things worse. The best thing about the Aveeno is that even after one usage I can see a difference. I'm not sure why I got started on that rant, but I'm going to get going now!
You are so thoughtful, what a nice gift!
ReplyDeleteI think it would be nice if they showed a few more skaters - I mean the programs are only 2:30 minutes!! They train so hard and the coverage gets worse every year. I think they've had more on cable, but it's on while most of us are at work :(
