It is what it is

I didn’t make it into work today. I tried to get out of my apartment parking lot, got stuck, and got pushed by some nice people into another parking spot. There is no hope for getting to the office without getting stuck. But, the sun is out and hopefully it will melt some of the snow so I can make it in on time tomorrow. Either way, it is what it is.

I came inside, tired and frustrated from shoveling in the below-zero degree temps and remembered something exciting. I had a leftover Coolgreens salad in the fridge, courtesy of the SIL. She took me out to dinner last night to celebrate getting through my briefing, but I wasn’t that hungry so I had some soup and got a salad to go.

It is what it is, and what it is happens to be a mixture of baby greens and arugula with sunflower seeds, artichokes, dried cranberries, Parmesan cheese and a basil vinaigrette. That basil dressing is the best dressing in the land. Seriously.

Thank you SIL for the great snow-day lunch! And speaking of thanking the SIL, look what else she got me:

yoga towel

A new yoga towel to go with the plush yoga mat she got me for my birthday. Yes, the SIL is single-handedly ensuring the future of my yoga practice. I’m a needy little sister-in-law, and I like it. It is what it is :)

I’ve taken to wearing yoga clothes anytime I’m home and keeping my mat rolled out just in case I ever feel like busting out a downward dog. It’s pretty awesome.

I’m currently working from home, while watching a bit of TV. Not the most productive way to do things, but to be honest, I’ll probably keep working until I go to bed so I don’t feel that guilty. I’ve gotten quite a bit done. Turns out TV is less distracting than overly chatty coworkers. It is what it is.

Do you ever work from home? Do you feel more or less productive than you do at the office?

Thank you guys so, so much for your beyond kind and lovely words about my emo poetry video yesterday ;) They gave me the confidence I needed to go into my briefing and do what needed to be done!

I think it went really well, but I’ll have to wait a few days to hear what everyone has to officially say about my move.

All in all, yesterday was a good but very exhausting day, which is unfortunate because I haven’t been sleeping lately. Oy.

We got another snow storm last night, so I’m on a delay for work. I wanted to sleep in, but I was up even earlier than usual so I ate some cereal in bed to catch up on email and such.

What’s better than breakfast in bed?! Well, my Little Mermaid blanket for one thing. It’s my grown up security blanket. I love it!

Now I’m trying to figure out the plan for the day. I keep hearing different things about whether or not to go into work. Some people say I will surely die, others say I’m a pansy for even considering staying home. Decisions, decisions.

Do you have any grown-up security items? I’ve had that blanket since I was in 1st grade and it’s my first choice blanket for cuddling on the couch or in bed. Instant warmth and comfort.
