mythicalgirlI know you are all anxiously awaiting the resumption of Vacation Recap Blogging! It is coming....but not today.
Work is still super busy and ravenously devouring my brain. I will be working again this weekend but hopefully from home rather than in the office (unlike last Saturday where I spent 8 hours in here). I hope to get some recaps up during breaks. I also hope that it won't take me 8 hours to get everything done as I'd like to enjoy my weekend again at some point.
Sunday was the annual Halloween block party cookout and doggie dress-up party. I forgot my camera but I'll see if neighbor Y- can send me some of the ones she took. You have to see some of the dogs in their costumes! Poor babies - they were really cute but several of the pups were not happy about being dressed up. I was feeling extremely anti-social all day Sunday but made myself leave the house and go to the party. I only stayed about two hours but it was good for me to be out socializing. Plus playing with the dogs helped my stress level quite a bit.
Today is more work, as usual, and yoga at 5:15 pm if I make it. I currently have yet another stress headache brought on by being told I'm going to help conduct interviews for our open position. I am socially inept and hate talking to strangers. I can do this I just won't like it. Unfortunately my first reaction was a slight moment of panic, which left a stress headache when it passed. The yoga will help relieve the stress but if my head is still poundy, poundy I wont' be able to do the yoga. Kind of a catch 22 type of thing. We'll see how I feel later this afternoon.
As for now I'm having soup for lunch (Vegetable Beef with Barley - Campbell's Select, not homemade) and doing some surfing before getting back to work. The weather is turning colder, which means homemade soup/stew time! The cookbooks will be coming out and the experimentation will begin here just as soon as my weekends aren't sucked dry by work. I promise to post recipes and reviews!
