Cupcakes were something of a big hit at work – my director ended up sharing them around to one and all – including a number of the senior team, who were all pretty complimentary about them. Very happy to know that they were enjoyed by all.
Meeting today and items to follow-up on meant that lunch was very, very late.
Which, every now and then, on Tuesdays, is ok.
I lost one of my chopsticks!
One minute it was there, waiting to be used as my dumplings heated up, the next -
Good-bye chopstick!
For a bit there both of them were missing, then I found one inside the fridge – it fell out of my lunch bag!
Where the other is remains a mystery.
I suspect that it has gone wandering, in search of adventure.
But, if you see it around, please do me a favour and send it home – it is missed by all of us here.
Rest of the days skipped and bubbled along – late lunch made for a very, very short afternoon.
Got back to the gym tonight 1h on the treadmill.
Ok, I know I should have done weights, but c’mon I’m working back up to making it to the gym on a regular basis, ok?
And of course, I didn’t have my normal earphones, so I used the old ones, but the sound isn’t very good, so I had to turn up the sound up higher than I like. I’m trying to be kind to my ears and not like blow them out or anything, so when wearing earphones, I tend to listen on a low volume. I read somewhere that is what you do to avoid damage. I don’t know if it true.
Anyway.
It was good to get there and after I treated myself to a steam (quite imaging me wearing a towel, I thought we already discussed this?) and getting dressed again (quite imaging me without my clothes on!) I noticed something.
The horror, the horror.
A hole in my sock!
Tragedy.
Misery.
Woe.
Like. Whoa.
The is the second pair of socks this winter that have holes in them.
I know what this means.
It is time to go sock shopping!
I’m one of the lucky ones, really.
Some people have a grocery budget. Some people have an entertainment budget. Other people have a car budget.
I’m one of the lucky few that have a sock budget.
And a boot budget. That is a story for another day.
Yeah, you heard me. Ummm, read me. A sock budget.
Hey, when you live in a country that has crazy cold winters, you learn to keep warm and a big part of staying warm is having the right socks. And that means being sock-wise, which requires some investment and planning.
I’m just saying.
So, yes, soon enough I will be braving the shopping centre to seek out new socks. To boldly go where most people have gone before. For socks.
I hope it is worth it.
I wonder if there are sock sales on right now…
