First Day Preparations

Tomorrow is my first day back at work.  It feels like it’s the first day back to school.  Probably because of the timing, but I’m going with it. 

Saturday, I went out and bought myself a bunch of “back to school” clothes.  I have new slacks and new tops.  I’m not overly pleased with the size of said clothing.  I just have to keep reminding myself that I had a baby this Summer.  I’m still working on recovering from that.  And I’ll remind myself this as I sip my Diet Dr. Pepper, hoping that the sweetness of the pop will keep me from sneaking out to the kitchen for a snack.

I also have a new lunchbox.  The one I had couldn’t hold a lean cuisine frozen dinner.  Well, sometimes I like chucking one of those into my lunch bag for lunch, ok?  And if I bring my own healthy snacks, I don’t hit up the vending machine at work.  (I also don’t do it if I have no money in my pocket.)  So I got myself a snazzy lunch box that’s covered in stripes of varying shades of blue.  Yes, I said snazzy.

So, with all that, and my laptop packed up, and my iPod Nano charged and filled with podcasts…I’m ready to go back to work.  I think.  Now I just have to figure out how to get DC and myself out to door to daycare at GrandmaCat’s.  And how to make it through my first day.  I hope I remember everything.
