I am bored to death here at work ...

I'm so tired, so bored - burnt out for sure. Besides the SSDD, here's what's been going on:

We are fostering this new kid a.k.a. MILO:

He has hip problems and needs one more surgery. Luckily, our vet is doing this pro-bono - otherwise, this fella wouldn't have a chance - the CACC would have just put him down. He's on his 2nd day with us and so far, he's been behaving.

I have discovered this new thing through my vet and the shelter where we got this fella from: http://www.igive.com/ Here's how it works, if you shop online, go through the iGive mall and there are some stores listed there that will donate a portion of sales proceeds to your charity of choice. I have signed up for the Sean Casey Animal Rescue. There are a bunch of brand name stores you can purchase stuff from.

I am feeling a bit depressed here, starting to feel like I'm waiting for "Godot." For those of you who don't know, I've been waiting for this so called "chance of a lifetime" (which is hitting me for the second time) to come to fruition. *sigh*

Report of the Weekend

We witnessed a bike accident on the GCP. It was horrid. The guy popped a backwards wheely, went a tumbling. Bike bent, helmet flung off ... he tumbled right into the center lane, where a Lincoln missed him by a hair. I think if I saw that guy loose his life - I'd probably have difficulty getting back into a vehicle.

Went to Woodbury on Saturday and I managed not to buy a thing!!~! *achem* can't say the same for someone else.

Was too tired to do anything on Sunday, but the laundry. Loads of it. Bought the boys new beds and Chester immediately p'd on one. I was ticked by that.

Ah. Most important thing to report here - I GOT MY SUNGLASSES. I finally worked up enough courage to make the purchase. I look like I have laser vision. Already today, I've gotten two comments about my shades being cool.
