meltdowns goin’ ’round

   Posted by: arcanai

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, COUSIN!!! i hope the big three-one is a fabulous one for you. as for me, it’s been a week. on the bright side, we did become official floridians this week when we were mercifully granted our homestead exemption even though we didn’t exactly meet all of the requirements (thank you mr property tax assessor guy!!!) – stupid fine print. just so you know, we did have all of the required pieces, just not by the required dates. on wednesday, i had a total melt-down that my poor hubby had to not only witness but also talk me down from quitting my job. gotta love those kind of days. today was his turn. he handled his melt-down much better by going for a run instead of ranting like a lunatic. the good news is that it’s spring break so we’re going to go out tonight and party with all the young little whipperschnappers. better go get a nap in, eh?

maze o’ cubicles

another long day. i actually had to go into the local office today. reminds me why i’m very lucky to not work in a corporate office. the bright side was that it was in the neighborhood of my sis-n-law’s restaurant so i was able to drop in and surprise her first thing this morning. i think she was pleased to see us because she fed us really yummy eats. hopefully we’ll get to see her and my brother later this week or weekend. work was work but at least i wasn’t tethered for the day so there was that. after work, we went out to dinner with a couple coworkers. it was quite an agreeable time and the restaurant was fabulous. we went to seasons 52 which looked far too hoity-toity for my pallate but the food was exceptionally good. i even discovered that i don’t hate asparagus (at least not when it’s cooked right by someone other than myself) so that’s a plus.
