beansideIt's Saturday, so why am I up so early? I'm glad you asked, let me tell you.
I was sitting at work, taking calls, making calls, doing my thing and my boss' boss comes to me and asks if I'd be willing to work on Saturday. They're concerned that the weather is going to screw us up, and they'd like extra hands on deck. But, also, they need someone to be the head of radiology's liaison. And she asked for me. As boss' boss was saying, "If you can't, you can't, but if you can, it's a really good spotlight." Since I didn't have any plans that I couldn't move, I accepted. What being P's liaison means, I have no clue. I'm just going to go in and do whatever is needed.
I don't know what is going on, but I feel like they're planning something to do with me, and I want to know what it is now. First the Dept head telling me that a potential pay bump is coming rather soon, and now this. I don't know if this is a dry run or what? I'm going to just do my best either way, but it's strange to feel pieces you can't see yet moving around you. I hope whatever it is, it comes soon. The anticipation and curiosity are killing me and I am not a patient person.
So that changes up what I'm planning for the day. Now it's work, then game, then Jess and I may go to the World of Pets Expo for a few hours. Get some toys and treats for the Boodle and the Yoda, and maybe pet a ferret. We went about 10 years ago, and it was super fun. I'm hoping maybe not as highly crowded as last time. Everyone is hopefully out preparing for the snow, or getting an early start on hunkering down.
Maybe we'll grab dinner afterwards? I have no idea. Depends on what time we finish up.
Tomorrow will be for watching the pretty snow and the slightly less pretty ice, and maybe baking cookies. I thought I had a game at 1, but it looks like it was cancelled, so I might be ambitious and bake something that needs to rise. We'll see how I feel.
I've really want to make some cinnamon rolls, so we'll see if maybe we can do that and make me and the rest of the family happy. I might cut the recipe in half, just because the regular makes 12 rolls, and I don't know that we need all that. Or, I might say fuck it and do it anyway. Extra baked goods for the win! I'm pretty sure that I have some cream cheese for the icing. If the Boodle gets me up early, I could conceivably make them for breakfast/brunch. (And lets be real, the cat hasn't let me sleep past 6am in months.)
Maybe tomorrow, we can also watch a little more tv. Either Heated Rivalry or the rest of Great British Bake Off. Or something else. We'll see how it goes. I know I want to keep my phone charged, so that if we lose power I've got something. I need to charge the power bank for my phone as well. It's currently in my sister's room, so it'll have to wait til after work to grab it and plug it in.
I think they've decided that we're getting between 7 and 12 inches of snow with some ice on top which is much less than the original 24 that I saw forecasted. That said, if the coastal system hits harder than expected, that could still change. I figure I'll believe the total when I wake up Monday and see what's there. Sadly, with working from home, I won't be getting Monday off. My commute will be clear and snow free.
The other thing right now is that it is cold as fuck. It is currently about 8 degrees, with a high of 20. I am not amused. As I'm aging, I don't do as well in the cold as I used to. I get cold easier, and my asthma hates the cold air. When we come in, I have to sit for a couple of minutes to catch my breath if the puppy has wanted to go fast. Plus we usually try to hurry him up the steps so no one comes out from their house while we're out there, so that's another bit of running. I need to start increasing my stamina. I was doing really well before I got the cold/cough/flu at New Year's. That has completely blown my walks. I was going around the block with the dog, and now we're just walking out in front. I'll work on getting myself back in semi-shape once the brutal cold is done.
Okay, time for me to hop off and do a little prep for our 12:30 game. The party is in a sticky situation, and I'll be interested to see how they get out of it. I have a few decisions as far as what I'm going to do with the baddies next turns. Thinky thoughts! Everyone have an excellent Saturday and stay safe and warm!
