It’s Back to Work Today

Well, today will be my first full day back at the office. After thinking about yesterday, I decided to go in for a few hours and see the damage that was in my e-mails and on top of my desk. I wanted to prepare myself so my blood pressure would not go through the roof. I only worked for about 3 hours. This is what I learned…..my chair is as hard as a rock and my bum was killing my after only three hours.

So…..here is my new “best friend”….that is – if an inanimate object can be your best friend. 😜

I have written before how my favorite time of the day is early morning when I read the paper and drink lots of coffee. Of course to do this, I get up early, early….well, the Houston Chronicle had been letting me down for the last several months. The paper was being delivered late….I could not read it before having to get ready for work so I was reading the online edition. While I have been recuperating, it was not a problem because I was not going anywhere. I was paying a lot of money to actually get a real paper that I could turn real pages, spill my coffee on, and tear out articles, and most importantly work the Suduko puzzle. (I always think I will have a mentally sharp day if I can complete the puzzle rather quickly….) So, yesterday I took the step of canceling the real paper and getting the online edition only. I will be saving a lot of money…the online edition is only $2.50 per week, while the subscription I had cost $7.55 per week. Don’t know what I will do about the puzzle.

Since I’m trying to get back to my “regular” routine, I decided to finally step on the scale. I was afraid of what the numbers would be because I think I look about 4-5 months pregnant. Surprise, surprise….I was down 5 pounds. After giving it some thought….that is probably how much my uterus weighed since the doctor said it was the size of a watermelon. 😜

Thanks for listening to my lamenting.

Neat Desk Scanner – Do I want one?

The other day I saw one of these advertised on the television and thought this is just what I need to get organized. One of my favorite pastimes is to look at magazines and tear out the parts of the magazine that I think I want to keep. I have hundreds of magazines pages of recipes that I want to make but never have the time to do it. I thought wouldn’t this machine be perfect for getting all those magazines recipes organized. I know, I know – if I just threw them away and then just stopped tearing up magazines then I would not have to worry about all these pieces of paper that I need do do something with. The Neat Desk Scanner sales for $380.00 on amazon.com. That is pretty steep for a scanner especially when I already have one of those combination scanner/fax/printers for my computer. I was especially envious when a critique on the Neat Scanner was done on one of the blogs that I keep up with. Of course, it got rave reviews – I would give it rave reviews if the company sent me one to try for free. I know, I know – it is just sour grapes because I have all these unorganized papers but not a new Neat Scanner to organize them.
