A slightly overwhelming week
First, the sprained foot which was more of a nuisance than anything. Because of the bandage that ensconced my foot, there were only a few shoes that I could comfortably wear, both pairs of sandals I had purchased in Paris and never wore in part because they don't really match a lot of my clothes. This was probably the first instance of my choosing my clothes based on whether they matched my shoes.
Despite the sprained foot, I was forced to move offices this week (in fact, my computer was moved the day I stayed home from work because of my foot) which probably took up the majority of Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday were spent late at work assembling last minute information requestes and reviewing documents and assembling comments. Friday, I had to catch up on all the work that I couldn't attend to during the rest of the week and finish a grant application due on Monday. Tomorrow, I have to wake up at the crack of dawn to prepare for an event I coordinated for work.
On Friday, we also booked our trip for the fall. Unfortunately, I was distracted at work when Adam found a good fare to the place we were planning on going to and I thought the fare he stated was the round-trip fare so I told him to go ahead and book the flight. After I returned home from work, Adam mentioned the fare was actually the airfare each way so now I think I'm going to have to get a second job to pay for our fall trip.
Yesterday, I returned to the salon where I had permed my hair three weeks ago because my roots hadn't taken to the perm. I thought I was just getting my roots redone but my stylist explained that it was easier to redo the whole perm so I had to get something I normally do twice a year done twice within three weeks (I hope my hair isn't fried). While I was there, I mentioned one of my friends is moving to Norway and the stylist next to my stylist mentioned she had been there and claimed that all the people there were gorgeous and nice, homeless included.
Yesterday was also Adam's grandfather's 80th birthday family get-together. I hadn't seen my nephew in a month and a half and when I last saw him, he was still learning to walk and talk. Now, he runs, laughs, has a vocabulary, and can do a million cute things! I guess this is an ideal baby stage when they're super cute and interactive but still pre-tantrum and pre-no!
