What makes me smile on a Monday Morning

What makes me smile on a Monday Morning:
I live not far from a Melitta plant. According to their web site, they roast and package coffee there. It’s what I smell every morning when I drive by. That smell of fresh-ground coffee that makes even us non-coffee drinkers want to grab a hot cup. That smell that says, “Good morning!” and reminds me of waking up as a small girl to the smell of coffee perking. It’s been around as long as I remember — and since I know that some people live close to a paper mill or a fertilizer plant, I consider myself lucky that we live close to such a great-smelling factory. 🙂

Lowlight
In sad news, the yellow highlighter that I’ve been using at work for almost 4 years now has gone AWOL. It’s pink sister was swiped over a year ago. It’s ok though. I know where the stash is, and I availed myself (a benefit of working in the morning) of a new yellow and a new pink one. Straight from the box, not from someone else’s desk.

And speaking of desks, Damon’s is very tidy this morning. Much tidier than usual. Tidy enough that it makes me wonder if he’s coming in. Hmm…

Dierdre the Pain got her upgraded Mage armor last night. I’ll get a screenshot up later today. She’s almost level 79.

Mood: Sleepy.
Work docket: Did Ingle, will do hot jobs (ads *just* converted) and start on rewriting the community guide script.
Lunch: I brought Lean Cuisine Salisbury steak.
Afternoon: I’m finding that a nice 60-90 minute siesta in the afternoons makes me more productive in the evenings. I may research that further today.
Evening: Unknown. I’m toying with making some Strawberry Shortcake.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
