day 2b

Phew, what a day. It started off with the chai spice tea (which was super yucky bleck) and reading the sunday edition of the new york times and ended with a new pair of gloves. The entire Smashing Pumpkins discography on shuffle accompanied me along the way. I'm very pleased with my first pair of crocheted gloves. I kinda followed a pattern but kinda made up certain parts too (mostly because I wasn't sure what the pattern was saying to do). They are perfect for when I go to work on the occasionally chilly Texas morning. This way I can continue to work on pc's (not the innards of course) while my hands warm up inside. Actually, regardless of the outside temps, the store (specifically the geek squad precinct) is often freezing in the morning, plus I'm one of those 'always cold' people, so they are perfect. They are made from a really soft wool blend yarn.This afternoon I also received an email about volunteering at Operation Kindness. I put in an application to volunteer about 3 weeks ago and was worried they denied it from the non response for so long. They finally got back to me today and are having an orientation Saturday. I'm super excited to start working with animals again (worked at petco for 4 years (best job ever)). It's been so hard living without any for so long. Like 3 years actually. That's crazy. Lets just hope this satisfies my craving and doesn't convince me to finally bring one home. It's just too hard living in a small apartment such as ours to have a dog, or even a cat. Hopefully it goes well on Saturday.

Back to work tomorrow. My 2 days off were immensely enjoyable but real life awaits me. Now for the rest of the Cav's game and to finish the day with some Dragon Age. :)
