It was rough. I couldn't fall asleep last night and so I went into work this morning with zero sleep, stood outside in freezing weather, my jaw ached a few times, and I could barely drive myself home and then peel off the layers of clothes. I thawed out under the covers, shivering, and finally fell asleep. I just now woke up.

I'm starving and Brian isn't home yet. The dogs are all barking. They want their chicken.

I can't go back in tomorrow. I'm going to have to rest.

I'll go back in Thursday. It will be warmer by 20 degrees.

My jaw still hurts a little.

Awwww J.

But you tried, which is huge.
And it does sound like it would be a good idea to wait a few more days.

I hope you are warm and fed, as as your gorgeous dogs. ♥

People were really happy to see me back. I got a few hugs. They wanted to hear all about my jaw surgery and how it's been. It would've been a great day had I not been in discomfort and some pain.

The new garden center manager was eager to show me the changes he had made. He and I are going to get along fine. He wanted my input and trusts my judgment. That was nice. We should work well together I think.

They want me to work directly for the company. I am considering it. I work for an outside company. So I am somewhat independent there. I like the neutrality of that position.

Monumental day, sounds like. Funny how absence makes you appreciated. Rest up tomorrow and try again.

It's so nice to hear that your first day back went so well, Potamus!!!!!!

Soberpotamus

I won't be able to work much this week. Being outside like that in the cold, handling the plants, isn't ideal for my recovery. I just hope I didn't set myself back today.

Tortilla soup with grated cheddar for dinner.

And as soon as I can stuff it in, I'm having a huge amount of sea salt caramel ice-cream.

I managed to stuff it in.

Not as much as I'd hoped, lol.

Tonight, I'm reading Sartre. It's been many years since I've read this material, probably 13 years or so.

I'm so tempted to make coffee. I might have chai instead.

I give up on fixing my messed-up sleep schedule. It will fix itself.

Soberpotamus

I want to wish you a happy birthday, Venuscat.

venuscat

Thank you so much love! ♥

Soberpotamus

I hope you have a lovely day. Hope you'll get to eat some cake, too.

And take some really big bites for me, lol!

venuscat

I don't have a much of a sweet tooth, but I am having my favourite pizza for dinner.

Soberpotamus

Sounds even better.

venuscat

I was looking up Sartre quotes.
I found my favourite, but it's not appropriate...

I loved studying Descartes...it would be nice to read some philosophy again.

Soberpotamus

Oh no, I'm curious now.

Soberpotamus

I made pecan praline coffee in the French press just now. Omg, smells wonderful.

Descartes walked into a bar.

The bartender asked, "Can I get you a drink?"

Descartes replied, "I think not," and ceased to exist.
