dchenesAll the various weather forecasts seem to think that I should have gotten all of my indoor stuff done yesterday and today so as to be able to enjoy the outdoors tomorrow. I hope they're right. I still have some indoor stuff to do, but it's not going to take all day. I went out this afternoon just for the sake of going out, and didn't quite blow away even though it was extremely windy. I'm being promised 70 degrees tomorrow, and I want every single one of them. I also want to be able to take the quilt back off the bed.
I definitely needed a long weekend. My voice lessons have moved from Saturday afternoon to Thursday evening, and last Thursday I was so burned out by the time I got there that the lesson plan went right out the window. Instead I spent 45 minutes singing every song previously performed by Julie Andrews that we could think of and had music for (I Have Confidence, Hello Young Lovers, Getting To Know You, I Could Have Danced All Night, Wouldn't It Be Loverly, and a couple of others I've forgotten), just to cheer me up. Hopefully next Thursday will be better, because I won't have any performance reviews next week. I had the yearly one with my boss on Thursday and the monthly one with the office manager on Friday. Ugh. I've decided there's no "up" where I am, since I'm still junior staff after seven and a half years; if I want to go up, I have to go elsewhere, so I'm starting to look fairly seriously for an elsewhere to go to. (Why am I thinking about work when I don't have to?)
This morning I was made aware of the cat beard phenomenon, and it got a decent-sized snort out of me. I am not going to try it with either of the Hairy Beasts, though. Lily would probably go for it, but she's having an outbreak of "the herp" (viral conjunctivitis, which I think is related to Snip's URI last week), so her life is tough enough at the moment. Snip is completely the wrong color to be a believable beard, since she has spots, and besides I don't think I could get her to stay in the right position for long enough to take a picture.
