This Parrot Has Ceased to Be

No real reason for using that headline – just saw that skit again the other night.

It’s another gray & rainy day here in PDX. BUT – the 10 day forecast is GORGEOUS! I am not even sure what I will do with all this sun & warmth. Probably get very, very brown.

I am planning on finishing up my final school project for this class tonight, so that I have nothing to worry about tomorrow and can run & yoga to my heart’s content.

However, today’s plans may have been derailed by the large amount of it needs to be done right now OMG OMG work that got dropped on me today. Seriously people, if you need it early week, it involves multiple signatures from various departments (some of which that are not even co-located), today is not the best day to ask for it.

ACK!

It gets better from here

This has been one hell of a week. First, the bum wrist (which I have linked back to homework on the laptop while on the sofa). Then there was Wednesday. Day of 2 hour doctor appointments, late workday, miscellaneous medical tests, no breakfast. Oh, and a raging kidney infection (what, TMI?) that I didn’t know about! And that I have decided is probably fatal.

Thursday – early morning blood draw, more work, dealing with a person at work that makes me a little crazy (because it is possible she has enough to share several times over) and then home.

And today -homework. And more homework. And even though I had a ridiculously healthy breakfast to stimulate my brain cells, I am still not 100% sure I understand which circumstances might call for only one of the two main modes of switching (packet vs. circuit) and why those circumstances would be so picky. And again, no help from my network guy one which we use at work, so I’m making educated guesses & hoping they are good enough. Good thing I have my BA in English (i.e. bullshit).

BUT – I am feeling much better today. I had my nutritionist appointment today, and I am down almost 3 lbs, plus although my BMI is still ‘overweight’ my body fat percentage has been officially measured, and I think that I am in the ‘fit’ category! So go me!

And tonight is brew review! Which is always fun.

And now – off to the gym for some lower body weights before showering & making myself presentable for the beer. happy Friday y’all.

Proof!

That Stephen Colbert & I are secret lovers. His graph for Venezuela’s ‘financial danger alert scale’

Level 1 (Strong Economy): Monkey Taking a Bath

Level 2 (Where we’re at today): Elephant Sinking in a Pool

Level 3 (If the situation worsens): Giraffe Falling Asleep in a Jacuzzi

AND

Level 4 (If the bottom falls out):

Gazelle standing in a pail of water while changing a light bulb

How does that prove we’re secret lovers? Well, that sounds like something I would accidentally do. Plus, you know, gazelle. It was a sly little shout-out.

Call me, Stephen!
