Busy work for a sick girl

I knew it’s been coming.  I’ve been running like crazy at work for ages now and I knew I was going to get sick.  Oh well.  Had yesterday off but I’m back at it.  There are some days of the week that it just doesn’t work for me to be sick, so here I am. 

Work has been insane.  We have to take furlough days once a month for the next 6 months.  If we can’t get the new grants they’ll have to look at cutting jobs after that point.  I’m really keeping my fingers crossed but we’ve lost a lot of the state funding that supported us.  Programs have been cut all over the place.  The state institutions made insane promises to the legislators, now they want us to do much more with much less.  So life in a non profit just gets crazier.

On a good note.  Mufasa is doing really well.  His fur is starting to grow in again and he’s become a total lover boy.  My birthday was last month.  Had a lot of fun.  My sister took us out for a spa day.  Facials, manicures, pedicures, and a massage.  I think I’d go back for the facial and the pedicure but the rest of it was kind of blah.  I can do my own manicure faster and better.  And the massage was kind of strange.  Matt does a better one anyway :). 

The trees Matt and I planted this spring have grown so much.  They’re looking wonderful.  The newest tree I picked up, a contorted Filbert, needs to get in the ground.  It’s a good thing he has a year warranty because he was pretty scruffy when we got him and isn’t looking any better.   I’m thinking this next year and this fall I really need to focus on getting the garden beds and layout in.  I keep getting ahead of myself but, well that’s me.
