Today has been lovely. I cleared off my desk and found the note from the mailman with his YouTube username so I can see the helmetcam video he shot while snowboarding. I found a used jigsaw puzzle I gave to the building manager (after wiping it with pledge so I could tell whether there were unicorns in the picture... I found the puzzle under a desk that doesn't have a kneewell, it's just shelves all the way down and the bottom one is just off the floor. No idea how the box got under there or how any dust was able to access the space, but it's been there for a long time.)
I organized my new and existing art supplies (that live on the bottom shelf of the previously mentioned semi-desk.) I checked my go-bag and refilled my stuff sack within it since I'd taken most of the aspirin and used some of the tampons. Those kinds of bags are only useful if you keep the inner contents up to date. You have to swap out the fresh underwear for underwear that hasn't lived in a ziplock bag for 3 months. I need to find individually wrapped clorox wipes for the bag....
I found a giant bag of loose pens... at some point we'd looked at our collection of pens and just saved out a fraction of them. There are at least 50-75 in this bag and all the current jars of pens in various useful locations are chock full of demented and ailing pens that do not write. I'm going to spend an hour with some scratch paper (which I found while clearing my desk) and put pens that write into the jars and toss the dead ones. No more zombie pens!
The Coffee Woman took me to lunch and for coffee for my shhhh!birthday. I told the barista it was my birthday so she should take extra care with my latte foam drawing and got a smiley face.
(The new bag is Namaste's mini messenger and is hella awesome. I now understand why people pay for bags instead of just using the free totes that you get as swag or getting a LandsEnd one when they're on sale. I like it so much that I'm thinking about getting one of their handbags. *pauses* wait, there's free shipping this week, let me go get one now.)
