I have never been so cold at work in my life. I used to keep my office temperature on par with a meatlocker at the old job? But I enjoyed it. Reveled in it. For some reason, this winter at the office has become the Winter of No Heat, and my toes are cold (somewhat normal) &#8211; but my fingers were icicles. By the time I got home Monday night, the only way I could get warm was to wrap myself up in the oversized Einstein, and crawl under two hand-knit blankets while wearing hand-knit wool socks. This worked so well I woke up with sweat in my ears. Lovely.<\/p>\n<p>2. I am enraptured with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.republicoftea.com\/templates\/detail.asp?navID=1049\">this tea<\/a>. <a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/x\/blogger\/5985\/480\/1600\/92132\/comfortandjoy.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/x\/blogger\/5985\/480\/320\/685782\/comfortandjoy.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>It&#8217;s a special holiday blend, and it&#8217;s so yummy &#8211; cloves and cinnamon and fruit. <a href=\"http:\/\/spinningathena.blogspot.com\/\">Kristin<\/a> gets the catalog &#038; they sent her a sample &#8211; she gave it to me &#038; I was hooked!<\/p>\n<p>3. I have spikes of anxiety &#038; paranoia that, in a nutshell, are not charming. I can&#8217;t wait until I wear my pajamas to the grocery store and wear a bird&#8217;s nest for a hat. <\/p>\n<p>4. There&#8217;s been some recent insider-biz news &#038; gossip about a certain key executive at a major retailer and it&#8217;s just been SALACIOUS! And delicious. And amusing. And probably really enraging for a former employer, because she was instrumental in the business leaving their company. Karma! It can be so lovely! <\/p>\n<p>5. I have tried to give <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbc.com\/The_Office\/\">&#8220;The Office&#8221;<\/a> another go. Everyone at work watches it &#038; raves, and are always suprised to hear I don&#8217;t watch it. So I taped last week, and I will say, the scene where Michael stands up and becomes &#8220;Prison Mike&#8221; and starts berating all the employees and telling them how good they have it, and how much better the office is than prison? I turned to Wo and said &#8220;It&#8217;s actually not that dissimilar to speeches we got from (Boss Name) at (Last Job).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>6.  Polly&#8217;s going to host a slumber party this weekend with a certain golden retriever puppy, and I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;re going to run up the phone bill, braid each other&#8217;s hair, and give each other tips on how to perform end-runs around their parents. I&#8217;m also sure they will wear each other out, or maybe that&#8217;s just me hoping.<\/p>\n<p>7. We have a mouse living under the basement stairs, and I don&#8217;t care how Harry Potter that is, he&#8217;s gotta go.<\/p>\n<p>Well, there you go. It&#8217;s a start. 7,999,993 orts to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1. I have never been so cold at work in my life.
