Work week started out SO BAd but ended with a pretty good day.  Today I felt: pretty, smart, cool, and was able to keep the blind panic about my inability to handle my workload at bay.  Also my employer agreed yesterday that I can hire one more person to help, and that will make a huge,huge difference. My team was literally dancing on air all day - they are all feeling the strain too.

Also it was ‘casual day’ - normally I don’t participate but today I wore jeans and the last time I wore this particular pair I had to squeeze into industrial strength control pantyhose first, and then try to go the whole day without sitting.  ( I know, silly but true)

This morning, they fit perfectly. Oh yay.

I am enjoying a shrinp and veggie thingy for dinner; Son #1 is not around; sweet jazz playing throughout the house…I hope I can maintain this calm at least until tomorrow.

OK, out with the dog for my walk, and it is nasty for walking - ice, puddles, collapsing snow drifts - the snowbanks are so high that walking down the sidewalks feels like I am snaking my way through a canyon. But it is just below freezing which means that someday, someday, someday it will be gone.
