1. I apparently am still mentally stuck in my early 20's. I woke up this morning thinking that I am entitled to two weeks off for Christmas vacation. And being mad that I actually had to come to work where the heater is literally turned up to 85 degrees.
2. I just ate one of those healthy meals for lunch from Kashi. It had barley in it. BARLEY?? What am I, a horse?? Nasty, nasty, nasty. Even a large mound of salt on top of it couldn't make it taste good.
3. I went Christmas shopping on Saturday for the first time this year. I got clear up to the register before I realized that EVERY SINGLE THING in my basket was for me. I had to get out of line and put everything back. Well, almost everything.
4. Husband finished another semester of school this morning. YAY, YAY, YAY.
5. Things that don't need to be a big deal but suddenly became a big deal: buying a heater for a patient room, getting extra paper towels for The Doctor (who uses more paper towels than any other person has even THOUGHT about using), and filling prescriptions for another doctor for whom our doctor is on call. Three seemingly easy things. That had to be hard. Because of OCD.
6. The weather here still can't make up it's mind. Today it's 35 degrees and I had to turn on the heater at the house, in the car, and at the office. Tomorrow and the rest of the week is supposed to be at or near 70. I don't get it.
7. I'm tired of being put on hold. I think I spend approximately half of my day waiting for someone to come to the phone. The Doctor doesn't like for me to leave messages on voice mail. Instead, I have to call back every five minutes. No, I'm not kidding. It really makes people love you when they get to talk to you seventeen times in one hour.
8. The skinny-overly-tan lady at the gym tried to rip me off when I went to renew my membership Friday. Ummm....no, I'm sorry, I can't pay $430/year to workout here. In fact, I think that since I so obviously need to workout, you should pay me.
9. I thought it was going to be a good idea to buy a pair of brown scrub pants. Not so much. I look drab.
10. I was one of the only ones who opted not to go out for a drink after my school Christmas party. There was another girl who said she would go but couldn't drink. The other girls started making fun of her until she said it's because she has a throat infection. Then one of them said, "Oh, I thought you were going to say it was against your religion or something stupid like that. Erin, why can't you go?" Uhh...because it's against my religion.

Funny thing is I miss the 30 days of leave a year the Air Force gave us. Now as a civilian, I only get 15 days.
Erin-- you may think i'm a barnyard beast, but i like barley.
Well, I have to admit that I generally like barley as well. They have it in vegetable beef soup, right? But this barley was kind of crunchy...is there such a thing as brown barley? Maybe it's like brown rice and needs to be cooked longer or something.
