I can feel it in my bones

[threeplusfire]

In the first two hours here at work I've done almost two thirds of my daily required certifications. For some reason, we've been slammed with orders all over and our queue was nearly two hours in the red this morning. Now we are two hours up, and I keep mulling how two hours becomes four, and when I can take a break.

My greatest irritation at the moment is how my face decided last weekend to break out all over in red spots. I haven't had acne this bad since after the wedding. It has actually been fairly calm, and I had hopes that it was dissipating. So much for that theory. Meanwhile, I scrub my face with powdered apricots and walnut shells and Althaea's soap. The Angry Skin soap is soothing, and it doesn't leave me wondering if I have sucked all moisture right out of my skin.

It rained early this morning, and made the world fresh. It was cool when I walked outside to the car, and the sky was a gorgeous cover of various clouds and colors. A morning to sit in a swing with a cup of coffee and bare feet, a damn good morning to be at the Little House. Three more weeks until I get on a plane to see Cate. I can't wait for her to be home.

Tonight is Harry Potter and I am very excited. Last night we watched a special on A&E about the filming, and a giant mouse crept across the floor. The cat didn't get it but Alan did, which turned out to be a good thing as it looked poisoned.

Those damned rodents. I like them well enough when they live in cages, and not creeping around my home.

Yay for paypal. I assume the Germans have been more cooperative of late?

Moderately. I've gone from being owed three months of pay, to to two, and if the checks that came in after I left today are correct, it will be down to one, and I will paypal you again tomorrow (this is my enthusiasm about getting these things taken care of, it's such a relief).

Of course I worry that their catching up just means the whole cycle starts again, but I can't be thinking about that yet.
