Skitters

Being busy over the weekend makes Monday suck.

Because being busy over the weekend means that, when Monday comes around, I'm still geared up for stuff I have to get done around my home.

Like dishes.

And laundry.

And crazy dancing.

I don't get to do dishes at work.

Nor do I get to do laundry.

Not that I would really want to if I could... But still. Knowing that they're at home needing to be done, and I'm at work not being able to do them... It's frustrating.

Moreso because I have to sit still and do boring stuff like process invoices and log paperwork.

Which would be more exciting with crazy dancing, except I can't take my shoes off and one cannot dance crazily with shoes on.

I should be home right now.

But at least my coworkers tried to pacify me with cake.

Which I may have eaten too much of, giving me a sugar high and a skittery brain.

Lunchtimes are for Dreaming

Here's what I spent lunchtime doing instead of writing a witty blog post:

• Browse Facebook for recent happenings
• Find friend's home for sale
• Dream about homeownership
• Circular-file homeownership dream in favor of Maintaining Manageable Monthly Budget dream
• Congratulate self on impromptu alliteration
• Browse E-mail for recent happenings
• Find backlog of e-mails regarding Outside of Work Commitments
• Create to-do list regarding Outside of Work Commitments
• Congratulate self on being proactive about following up on Outside of Work Commitments
• Greet mailman
• Sign for certified package
• Congratulate self on doing actual work-related stuff during lunch
• Browse Facebook and E-mail as reward for being so worthy of Congratulations

And then, the final step...

• Feel guilty about leaving ReaderFriends out in the cold without a witty thought to tide them through.
• Search Internet for suitable picture that will hold them over
• Find nothing
• Settle on photo of feet from weekend shenanigans in a Department Store Dressing Room

Yup. You see what you see. MONKEY FOOTED PAJAMAS.
