Feeling very virtuous today. Woke at 6:00, to work by 7:30, and stayed all day. Golly. It's been years since I've worked a full eight hours. I do it again tomorrow.

Today I played with the laminating machine, collated a bunch of stuff, and awed the manager with my superior photocopying skills. Who knew that photocopying files at the US Patent & Trademark Office would have any use? Goodness.

It's been a long time since I've spent eight hours on my feet. This evening I'm looking forward to sitting on my ass, doing a crossword, and reading from my assortment of new books. Mater got me another book today; Sylvia Boorstein's It's Easier Than You Think. I enjoy reading that book when life seems to be getting too rough. It's a no-nonsense, no bullshit, Jewish grandmother approach to the basic tenets of the Buddha's philosophy. I forget that it's as simple as it is, and this book reminds me.

Awwwww. HellKitty just leapt into my lap. I must heed her bidding and become a kitty head- and ear-skritching servant. Hang on...

...oooo, her ears were cold. Now that they're all warmed up, I am a hot water bottle for her serene felinity.

Go be fabulous~
