Friday Freestyles

TGIF!!

It is Friday!

And it's Pay Day!

Glory!!!!

We got all our back pay from the Furlough Hostage Crisis. It makes no sense how they messed some people up like that. That is YOUR dysfunctional Congress for ya!

This week... man. I give myself a grade of "C-".  When I'm off for awhile, it takes me a couple of weeks just to get my head out the fog.  I even took yesterday off.  I sent my boss a text that said:

"I am having snot and phlegm isshas. I won't be in."

She thought that was too much information. Yes it was, but it was the truth.

So I lost a day of work. And I am not up for scientific discussions either. Maybe in Novemeber.

The proverbial "Dr. LadyLee" skull cap does not fit well. At all.

My specialist Dr. Wong runs up on me with a thousand questions.  He wants to discuss science and intsrumentation.

Earlier in the week, he was met by my blank stare. And wailings of "Dude, man... dude, man... get on way from me, man!" and "I just got back, man! Leave me alone!"

I am better now. The "Dr. LadyLee" cap is starting to fit a little more snuggly.

Anyway, it is COLD in the ATL. My goodness. I did not want to turn the furnace on, but even Oscar-Tyrone was around here looking a little cold, so I turned it on.

This was a birthday week at work. Two coworkers had birthday.

A big party was planned for one of them. But some folks, including myself, thought it was an exclusive affair. You're not invited, but you want to give something. And I don't put money in a card anymore. Too many rumors of folks counting money to see who gave what, and that's some ol' bulls*** if you ask me.

So me and Cowgirl Cre skipped merrily up a couple of blocks up to the drug store and bought our coworker a birthday card.

"We bought a card," Cowgirl Cre told someone. "And LadyLee gonna trick it out!"

Yes, I like to "trick out" a card. LOL.

I have few stickers for dudes.  I have a TON of flower and butterfly stickers.  Lots of girly stickers. I guess I need to find some dude stickers.

Luckily, an invite went out over email for the masses to come to the party. I heard it was a great success. Someone even brought me some grapes and strawberries. I was pleased and thankful, honey.

And it was Cowgirl Cre's birthday too!

I made her a quick card.

Not as nice as I like it to be, because I rarely give her anything for her birthday. Our friendship is the gift that keeps on giving, you see. But this year I wanted to be different.

So I made her a card. And since she turned 42, I bought her a gift card to her favorite lunch spot near the job.

She loves F20. It is fast food, but a bit upscale. She has turned me on to it. They have the BEST salads. WOW!

Cowgirl Cre didn't go to work on her birthday. I didn't know what she had planned, but I received a picture in a text yesterday afternoon.

Yes! Cowgirl Cre was out riding her horse Felix for her birthday. Even Felix knows it's her birthday. He's posing for the camera!

LOL

Happy birthday Cowgirl Cre. We have been friends since our 20s. And we have been cubicle mates for 12 years. That's a loooong time. You are one of the few people who can put up with my cantakerous ways. Thank goodness for that!

Song of the Week.  Alien Girl (Today With Her) by Kendrick Lamar.



I like that song for some reason.

Alright. That is all the freestyles for this Friday.  I am up and ready for work. And I am ready to go!

You have a good weekend.

Not by default, but by design,.

And on purpose!
