Jun. 4th, 2018 11:17 amI am an idiot, but we knew that. I own three umbrellas and a raincoat, and I left them all at home this morning because I thought it was going to rain later. So of course it was pouring when I got off the bus, and of course there's no particular shelter and at least three pedestrian-unfriendly stop lights between the bus stop and work, so I got relatively soaked. That'll teach me. I'm not sure what exactly it will teach me, but I'm sure it will teach me something. (Hopefully not how to get over pneumonia in June.)
I seem to be letting the Instant Gratification Monster run rampant in the last week or so. Replacing my iPod had to happen, because I need music in my life and the iPod battery gave up and that was infuriating. But I don't have any particular excuse for spending almost $500 at the Coolidge Corner Arts Festival on Saturday, except that I wanted some silk scarves and a bag. (And the scarves are gorgeous, and the bag is made of an old sail so it might actually put up with the abuse I put bags through.) The Plan, insofar as I have one, is to turn the not-big-enough-for-work bag (which is another reason why I didn't have an umbrella today) into my new weekend bag when the old weekend bag dies, and turn the sail bag into my work bag if I can give it enough internal organization. It doesn't have quite enough pockets. I hate digging around in the bottom of a bag for something small.
So much for Lily taking her morning pill in the morning. She decided this morning to ignore it and go back to bed. Personally, I think she had the right idea, but I can't make her understand that she needs to eat her pill pocket before she goes back to bed. I think I really am going to end up with a radioactive cat before the end of the summer. I just have to sit on the Instant Gratification Monster for a month or so first. I guess that gives me time to buy a junk towel and sleep on top of it for a month so Lily will be at Angell with something that smells like me.
New assistant started today. Hopefully I'll be better at managing her than I was with the last one.
