A Day Off
I took the morning off yesterday to go to the zoo with Jackson and Caitlyn. I am not a zoo person--animals are smelly and look sad in a zoo, but I am a big fan of spending time with Jackson and Caitlyn. There were lots of hills in the zoo and Caitlyn had to stay in her stroller most of the time. Jackson and I were done at the zoo before the zoo was done with us, but luckily there was construction going on and so as a bonus we got to see a really big crane from many angles.
After the zoo, but before my lunch, I ran with Marisa to AAA to register her new (actually used) car. She's very excited to finally have her own car and I wanted to put her on my AAA account. AAA is supposed to be faster than going to DMV. It was not. We waited a long time to see someone and then the cost to transfer the car was a lot more than she had anticipated. I'm so glad that I'm old and I have good credit. I remember counting stuff out to the penny--I so do not miss that.
Finally, I was able to get lunch at 2:30. It just seemed too late to go into the office. The big project that needed to get done was being held up by other people and I'm not completely indespensible, so I stayed home. The babies went to sleep. Everyone else went out (except Adam who hides in his room all the time). I guess the problem was that I forgot to turn on the tv. I don't know how a person forgets to turn on the tv, but I did. I was so bored. I was reading a book about the biology of being on a diet and I want to read it, but not exactly riviting reading.
Later we went to dinner at Outback--my favorite. I carefully preserved one half of my steak for lunch the next day in my best diet mode. When we left, the wind was so gusty that it blew my leftover box right out of my hand and my steak ended up on the ground. Anyway, I was pretty exhausted from babies and I had an hour or so to kill in Burbank, so I went to target. I needed bandaids and crazy glue. I also sort of wanted socks. I was going to look at their price for diet coke now that the grocery stores are going to outrageous prices. I also needed little photo books for the pictures from the Hoover tour. Anyway, I went up and down every single isle. I found puzzles. Since I had been bored earlier I decided that I needed puzzles. I bought five. I've done maybe five or six puzzles in my whole life--I think five will last me for a while.
I'm back to work today. I'm not sure when I'll have time for those puzzles.
