Yesterday.  Work was alright.  After work I managed to find the paper work for the waterproofing company given to us by the previous homeowner (without tearing up the entire office).  BF will make an appointment with them to come out.

I went to they gym by myself.  Bf seems to have been slacking lately.  Just a week or two ago he was all motivated and had bought a big container of some kind of protein powder (”for muscle recovery”) and a bunch of fruits and veggies for juicing.  Sigh.  Actually, he said he didn’t have any clean workout clothes to wear.  And he proceeded to move his mountain of laundry to the basement and start on it. 

I wasn’t overly enthused about going, but I made myself go.  I was ready to leave by 6:30, but got held up by our continuing search for the missing laundry detergent we bought at Target a couple weeks ago that apparently didn’t make it home.  As we’re completely out of detergent now and bf  had his mountain of his laundry to do, it had come up yet again.  I ended up giving bf the Target receipt, making sure we’d actually been charged for it.  It was a small bottle of the superconcentrated stuff and yes, it rankles that the clerk didn’t just put it in the bag and give it to us.  But it’s $4.54, we have to get over it!  Well, in our defense, it’s not just the money, it’s the inconvenience.  Bf told me the gym wasn’t far from Target, and could I go there?  Uh, no.  If you want to ask the store for a refund, you can go do it.  Some stores post a notice that they’re not responsible for purchases left behind… 

So six minutes later, I finally drove off.  Got stopped at the train, another 4 minutes.  Got stopped at the big intersection by the club, another 3.  I finally got there and had a good workout.  Glad I went.  Too bad bf missed the excitement.  While I was working out, a PA announcement was made – “In a couple minutes, men will be entering the women’s locker room.”  Of course I’m wondering why, but the announcement was repeated again with still no explanation (but a few whoops and hollers from some male gym members).  I overheard a couple people and they mentioned seeing flashing lights, and sure enough there was an ambulance outside the club.  So it was a medical emergency kind of thing.  I didn’t bother to ask anyone what had happened.  Maybe someone overdid the sauna. 

Dinner was a grilled pork chop and garlic noodles.  Watched some tv and that was about it. 

Nothing special today.  I have a meeting in a few minutes.  It’s jeans day, a ploy to get us to read an e-mail invite to an open house about training.  But I’ll take it!  I’ll go to the open house this afternoon, and maybe they’ll have some good refreshments.  I brought the tomato-chickpea thing for lunch today.  Oh joy. 

Oh, the new admin told me the dentist (she left work early for an appt) told her he wants to remove her 4 wisdom teeth, and she made an appointment for that for tomorrow.  Good Friday.  Interesting.  The other day she asked if we get that day off.  No, I said, but she could take one of her floating holidays for it.  Kind of odd that she’d have her wisdoms removed right before Easter, but holiday’s aren’t all about food for some people.  But I don’t have her working on any big projects, so I told her it was okay w/ me and to double-check w/ the boss. 

Okay, better post now.
