Odds'n'Ends

Internet,

I took my heavy woolen mittens out of my bag today.  I am fearful that, even though it is supposed to be 60 degrees tomorrow, this is a Very Unwise Decision.  

While driving, I no longer choose lanes for speediness or how soon I will have to turn.  Instead, if traffic allows (and it usually does because I only drive to and from work very early or very, very late), I choose based on potholes.  I do my uttermost to dodge them all, which is really quite a game this year (worse than most).  This is one of my few entertainments these days (see mention of work hours, above).  Also: emailing the city's pothole "helpline" really does get results, and quickly.  There are just too many of them everywhere.  

I am very, very busy at work...earning comp time.  (And actually working, of course.)  




The stacks of bills are up to my earballs.  The problem with this whole situation is that 1) the DFL keeps calling this an "unsession."  At least 90% of that stack is not repealing anything, I promise.  The stacks cover all of the bills (budget and policy) from last year and this year that I am responsible for (and my responsibilities have not changed from one year to the next), and 2) session last year was about 2 months longer, so the DFL are cramming more work into a shorter period of time (see mention of work hours, above).  This is not good governing.

Finally, I'm so tired lately that I am going through the motions on certain things.  Sometimes over and over.  Like yesterday when I'm pretty sure I put concealer under my eyes twice while getting ready for work.  I probably needed it, though, so all ended well.  

That is all for now, Internet.  

xoxo,
Minny LinnEy
