Monday, Monday,
So good to me
Monday mornin’,
It was all I hoped it would be
Oh Monday mornin’,
Monday mornin’ couldn’t guarantee
That the rest of Monday would go as smooth
As I wanted Monday to be

Now that I’ve butchered the Mamas and Papas song… 😛

Woke up this morning with one heck of a stiff neck and shoulder. I’ve been flirting with the stiff neck for several days after falling asleep on the couch Thursday night :oops:, but evidently slept wrong on it last night, too and that’s about all it takes. Guess my lunch hour will be taken up down the street getting the kinks massaged out.

Speaking of down the street, next door they are renovating that building to make it into upscale condos. All winter, the building was open to the winter cold and winds, so I froze in my office since we share a wall with them. Now there is interminable pounding, grinding, thumping and mechanical shrieks that sometimes give me a headache and often vibrate my desk and monitor. I don’t know when they’ll be through with all that and down to quiet stuff, but I’m more than ready for it!

Angela picked up Aurora yesterday. She brought me this lovely bag as a thank you gift (which she did NOT have to do!). It’s nice and roomy, so will take the place of the totes I’ve been using to take my SQL books back and forth from work to home. She gave Ken chocolate truffles (YUMMY!) which he really shouldn’t have, but he’s being very good about limiting himself to only one a day. He did share with me (and I don’t need them either!) which was sweet. I don’t think he would enjoy the bag, though he’s welcome to use it if he wants to 😀

Erin wrote to me last night to send positive thoughts that she will find housing that will accept the Whippets as she moves to Virginia to go to Law School. First off, I’m really proud that she was accepted in the first place, but YES! We MUST send extra positive vibes that suitable Whippet digs will be found. She could not possibly concentrate on her studies and do well without Rose and Scarlett’s help!

Sent Kathy pictures of Payne and she wrote back that she’s pleased with how she’s turned out. If I could just get that one ear to stand straight, I would be happy, but I think that will come. She did send me a couple of suggestions on getting it the rest of the way up (only about the top 1/3 is floppy). It wouldn’t be such a big deal except it’s a fault in Cresteds in the US to have drop ears, so if I want to show her, they HAVE to be erect.

I also sent Cheylene pictures of Saber and Teddy. Saber got his first face trim — he did put up a fight, but eventually gave in and let me shave him. I will have to work with him more to get him used to that as he really looks better with a clean face. He sure is a good looking boy! Teddy is just cute 🙂 They won’t be old enough to show until October, so we will just enjoy their puppy-hood for awhile longer.

Well, guess I should get back to work and hopefully this little break with get the logjam in my brain broken up.

Love to all,

Margaret
