Kidless folks, treasure your weekends.
That's right! I'm not being lazy, I'm treasuring my weekend.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

The dogs woke me at 6 but I managed to stay in bed until 7. Then I walked them 2 miles, fed them, cleaned the kitchen, ate breakfast, read the paper, started bread, vacuumed the house, cleaned the dogs' ears, and tried to train the puppy to come to me when I call her. (She will not.)
In a minute I will punch down the dough and shape the loaves.
I should be reading Christopher Isherwood.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm updating my CV and waiting for my best friend who abandoned me for SoCal (STILL BITTER AM I) to swing by with her family on their way back down to LA. They finally get to see my house.
Updating my CV because I notified my company on Friday that I am leaving. I was negotiating terms before it went into my written notice tomorrow. It's kind of funny because everyone from CEO to my direct reports knows that I am leaving now, except for the one person (our new CMO who is a classless, arrogant cretin) who was the proverbial straw to this camel's back. It will be interesting tomorrow, for sure.
I have been a mix of exhilerated, angry, sad, excited, etc this weekend. It's a lot like the end of a long relationship that once held a lot of promise but in the end just kind of sputters out. So, I have to say, it's a very familiar feeling. ;)

I have a new coat, creamer, cash but no camera. Decided not to do anything messy because I JUST CLEANED THE DAMNED HOUSE. I want to enjoy it for a moment or two.
Made use of a DD gift card, so at least I've eaten something today!

I'm glad you are moving on, java.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Want!

So far today I have baked bread, made chana masala for dinner tomorrow (it's better the second day - plus, no need to cook except rice tomorrow!), organized the cleanup of the children's rooms (first time since Xmas), done 2 loads of laundry and washed dishes twice. The mr. flea took the kids to Graeter's and the playground and I walked over to the consignment store and bought $7 work pants and discovered I really need to be getting more exercise.
Still to do: make chicken suoup with wild rice, sherry and cream, and make meatballs for dinner later this week. And write a professional blog post. And bathe the children.

Ah, that's really tough, javachik. Hope you find something better.
I am up and dressed and the bed is made. I'm about to make a to-do list and then get on it. Not ready to go back to work tomorrow. Feh.

Good on ya, java! That's a very empowering decision, not too hasty, after you've done your best to get along.
Me, I've done a couple errands, plus I just walked over to the new once-a-month Flea Market. Only about 10 vendors, but a lot of cute stuff, all of which I resisted, even the Breyer stubborn mule, and the autumn-gold-colored rotary phone. For I am strong that way.
