A cold rain fell over night, and this was going to be the first time I would call Kal for a ride. I reset my clock for an hour later, except I didn't set the alarm but the time. So when I got up, the clock read that I was half an hour late to work already. I panicked and asked RDC if I could drive, and wow was I late, and he didn't need the car and his own clock gave the correct time and I wasn't late.
But it was raining, so I wore contacts, and I showered at home in a much nicer shower than the work one, and I wore a new suit I scored at Sweatshops R Us; and I had a cold slice of pepperoni and mushroom pizza for lunch; and I spent the day manipulating Census Bureau data in Excel, figuring out the best way to present information graphically. Except at the end of the day, when I downloaded Main Street and The Way of All Flesh from Project Gutenberg to fill in the gaps. I finally read more than 10 pages at a time of Gertrude and Claudius, which I am loving, and RDC made stuffed chicken breast and perfectly steamed, garlicky snowpeas for dinner, with apple crisp and cinnamon ice cream for afters. I am watching the debate, which is giving me indigestion, but I have my iBook and Blake is napping on my knee.
Life is pretty good.
