I am not a fan of Daylight Saving Time.
It's too dark. And it will only confuse the birds for a little while.

The photo shoot went well. More later.

I learned that Fed-Ex drivers need their own lane. This would be in addition to a lane for just truckers.

The 5K training is going "meh." If any of you are runners/walkers and can tell me why my right knee is now popping and hurting at the back of my knee, I'd appreciate it. Oh, and also the side of my knee seems to be swollen. This is in fact, not the knee of the knee cap I broke, but the other one.
****Interestingly enough - this blog turned 1 year-old over the weekend. Thank you, Jetpacks :)
I really never thought I'd have people who check my blog daily, so thanks. :)

Monday when I got my car back I was a bit miffed about my door. I know I said I'm coming to terms with what it means to have a recycled door but it's still irritating. The door I received, while nice on the outside, is completely banged and scuffed up on the inside.
So while I was inside my car listening for new bumps or rattles or noises and noticing that the impact of the hit broke my radio display, I tried wiping down the car door... to no avail.
But what did I do after that?
Lock my keys in my car.
Yep.
The only good thing is I have one of the keyless things and my keys WERE NOT in the ignition.

So it seems I'm not overly sensitive about my door. I've gone and requested several other opinions and the verdict is in - I could definitely break my key off in the door if I'm not careful.
It sticks, horribly, and it's not aligned right. The corner of the driver's door is banging into the back door and nicking paint. Apparently the car door I received was originally red.
So this means giving my car back to the shop... which I'm dreading so I haven't called yet. And yes, I realize I need to do this ASAP.

I've been trying to pack my lunch, but today I have to go out and get something to eat as our mayonnaise had expired and I didn't notice till after I fixed the tuna fish. Incidentally, it didn't make me sick on Monday, but I've again asked for a vote and it seems I should be safe rather than sorry and not eat it.

I have no idea what to get my sister for her birthday. Either of them.

Look I've already started collecting cigars. Alumni Weekend is only about a month away.
One of the GE guys (who also had a birthday earlier this week) had a son born yesterday. His first. He's 9 lbs 1 oz.
And thank G-d the wife won out and named the son. Otto would have been an unfortunate name.
So he's handing out cigars. He said I'd smoke it if I got drunk enough. I refrained from saying something like "oh, you don't know me at all."
