I picked my first tulip yesterday. And then I photographed it. And I posted it for the prompt of the day was pink. And it was GOOD.
I know, right? Even I put my link on the stem. So proud. S’mine. I did that.
You know what else I did this week? Worked my ass off. (Ass photo unavailable)
I do like this: I get out of bed ever-so-reluctantly, I wrangle the octopus on my head, put on cute shoes, and sing all the way to work.
What I’m listening to this week:
Over and over. I need my spleen to rattle. Also, there’s some deep shit in there. It is good.
Then I get out of my car and I give myself this pep talk, like I am a supastah
k joey, go in there and do your very best to work the work and you will get the work done
And I do, indeed, get the work done. Not all at once and new post-its replace the old post-its and it is good. I’m thinkin bout gettin some cutesy patterned stickies. Fun is good. Take it and make it when and where you can.
The Mister gets today off because Wall Street and Jesus. It is a Good Friday for him.
Because Love of Joey, he will do two loads of laundry and go to the goddamned grocery store. Also good.
Tell you what is not good?
What the hell for?
Y’all got enough of that, yeah?
Shh, put your headphones in and let yo spleen rattle.
Happy Friday Everyone! Make it good!

This is one of those days that no one seems to know what to do about. Half the world is off from work, the other half is working. And the whole moving Easter around the calendar thing doesn’t really give me a settled feeling. May you and your spleen have a good day. Happy Easter.

Happy Friday – I’m glad it’s been a good week. That pep talk is necessary, every dang day. We close at noon today and a bunch of people added half a vaca to get the whole day off. I like working these days because I get to avoid my coworkers without using a vacation day.
I hope you have a great weekend.

It’s mostly the noise. My office door is directly opposite the kitchen. People gather while making lunch, and yack. They seem to talk louder, the way people do when using a cell phone. I get to work early, so I eat early. then I mostly close my door, put on some headphones and queue up a playlist titled “Work noise”

With me needing a pep talk is the first sign that it is time to leave. I love your tulip. So Springy. Are schools open on Good Friday? Can’t remember. Honestly I am not familiar with those first 3 tunes. Interesting. Zeppelin on the other hand is very familiar. I hope your spleen is properly rattled and your Friday is Good. I also hope that tulip is just the first of many.

Well I was a workaholic so I was hot and cold. When I got to the point where I dreaded going to work that was when I knew it was time to leave. I bet you are very good at giving pep talks. I am glad you got a half day. I hope the Mr was home and the girls were in school.

I am not a workaholic, but I do get… in the zone. I like it there, in the doing.
When I worked in another office, I did, literally, sit in my car in the morning and wait til the very last moment to go in. When I decided to leave, I went in, polished some details and let my key. It was an excellent decision. I liked the work, but the boss/office environment was … REVOLTING. (Which probably has a lot to do with my appreciation of the good and interesting people I work for now.)

I don’t have much work to do today either and when I was younger the hours between 12 and 3 were spent in prayer (well, quiet reading anyway). Now I’ll go work in my studio and thank God for it!

Ahh…such a pretty tulip!! I was at Universal on Good Friday. Shockingly most people didn’t come that day. I think because the storm was rolling in. We didn’t mind. Got to ride everything we wanted. No wait on Men In Black…that never happens and is one of my favorites. We did that twice in a row. Had an issue with a virtual line for Fast and Furious so the attendant gave us fast passes for it and another set of fast passes to use somewhere else, which we promptly used to ride Revenge of the Mummy again. Yep. That’s a “Good” Friday. 😉 Love the song selections! Billie Eilish is Miss Sunshine’s favorite so I hear her a lot. I hope that you had a wonderful weekend!
