So here I sit in my brown uncut cord blazer with the satin bow and a peach lace blouse with the princess sleeves. (I've made it my mission to commentary every outfit I wear this week, I'm impressed with my Calgary fashion finds) I also find it interesting that I've never really studied fashion, yet I know all these terms.

Work is very unpredictable this week. Each morning I pick a bug, get close to fixing it, then after lunch I'm ready for testing, only to get pulled off into another project to start something completely different, which will be a rush job for the afternoon. Then I start all over the next day. So I've started coming in later, so that gives me more afternoon to ponder over these tasks. The problem is, that even though I'm sleeping in, I'm still tired at my non sleeping-in bedtime 10-11. I don't stay up for an extra couple hours so I just lose 2 hours of my day. I'm not okay with that, I have lots to do! Well luckily it's a short week.

I'm coming down with a cold, I'm in denial mode. My desk is covered in tylenol cold, green tea, fisherman's friends and vitamin C. Like, somehow, I can scare the cold away. Really, I think all this stuff is making me feel more sick, but if I'm well tomorrow, it'll be worth it and I will praise the evils of modern medicine.

As much as I'd like to hide it, my condo is sponsered by Ikea. Why? Because I'm too damn cheap to go anywhere else. I put together some of the pictures I bought from Ikea and hung them, then I realised that every picture in that place was originally from Ikea. Pictures are expensive! Ikea pictures are not. Pick a frame and a picture and voila! You have an elegant masterpiece usually for $15. It looks nice but if you study the Ikea catalog, you know, and they stick out like a sore thumb. I've come to peace with this. I'll look for other pictures, see the price and then come full circle, with going to Ikea for pictures.

Actually after we hung all those pictures last night and moved the living room lamp, it feels quite cozy in the condo. More like home. I don't think I'm going to buy anything for it for a while. Maybe just a tv stand. The other one is being held together by the weight of the tv itself. Which isn't safe, but it's working.
