Well, despite my best efforts last night, I ended up being late anyway. 2 hours late!
I woke up this morning on time (6:30), but was VERY tired and just wanted to go back to sleep, so I let myself lie in bed until 7:15, because theoretically, it only takes me an hour to get dressed, eat breakfast, and leave the house, so that would have put me right on time at 8:30. Naturally, things didn’t happen quite so quickly. I woke up again at 7:15, but was still pretty tired, so I went to the kitchen and drank a glass of orange juice, then ate a bowl of Kashi warm cinnamon cereal (kind of gross, but I thought I’d give it a try). After I ate, I sat in bed with my computer, thinking I’d just rest for a few minutes before getting up officially. I took care of some business (not work business, home business - ebay, health insurance, etc), and then finally got out of the bed around 8:30. I texted work to let them know that I was moving slowly, and that I’d be late. Then, I began the process of getting dressed. I took all the shortcuts I could - only halfway drying my hair, ponytail, etc, but I just couldn’t get it together! I was out of breath just walking back and forth down the hall (the baby is stopping me from filling my lungs properly, and it really takes a toll)! Anyway, once it was time for me to actually put clothes on, I realized that I’d completely forgotten to shave my legs. I couldn’t wear jeans again, because by the end of the day (when my stomach swells), my jeans are uncomfortable when sitting for long periods of time. Since that’s what I do every day, and since I am absolutely not buying any more maternity clothes, I was stuck with either capris or a dress. Capris and most of my dresses would require a leg shave. I pulled out my long, blue dress, and put it on, but then realized I needed a sweater, since the sleeves are “illegal” on the dress (they have to be at least 3” wide; company policy). Of course, I couldn’t find my white sweater (needed to be white because the dress is blue and white). I had a choice: shave my legs (HUGE pain, especially since I’d already showered, and put on make-up, so showering again wasn’t an option. That means, I’d have to take a bath, which is fine, except for the getting out of the tub part) or look for the sweater. I chose to look for the sweater, which took a little while. After looking everywhere else, I finally found it at the top of my closet -strange. Anyway, I left shortly after finding it, and got to work for 10:30.
