Nothing says "Happy New Year" like cuddling up with your long haired orange tabby and having said tabby sneeze in your face. Wiping cat snot off one's glasses at 4 in the morning is the pinnacle of woo-hoo, let me tell ya.
Or, in other words, business (and beginnings of days) as usual. Buttah, the catdog, is ramping up his campaign to be top pet. That, and the colder weather drives him (and his elusive brother, Pete) in my room more often these days, causing the pooch's anxiety level to rise.
The day proceeded apace with the usual things happening at pretty much the usual time for Friday was a workday; the shift filled with explaining to various patients why they owe what they owe, what their insurance didn't cover and in some cases, why. And, talking with insurance companies to follow-up on non-payments, providing the necessary information so they claims may be reconsidered. And reconciling accounts, applying credits to debits and sending out statements.
And then, it was time to come home where the pooch, long-haired orange tabby and is ever elusive brother wait to be tended.
Playing behind the scenes of the business as usual days are the other things; books to read, things to do, stuff to get, music (ear worms, like the themes to TV shows, I'll spare you which) 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarter goals and / or projects and words, and images. Words and images. Words and images, popping in and out of my mind.
And speaking of words, inspired by my friend, I present to you my word of the year: c-r-e-a-t-e, manifested artistically and otherwise. The otherwise will likely revolve around the pooch, the long haired orange tabby, catdog and his ever elusive brother, Pete.
Ahh... the cat snot morning! Not sure if that is better or worse than the cat puke midnight. I pushed her off my bed in the nick of time and cleaned it up in the morning. Effing pets.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday. Happy 2015. Let's make this one a good one.
Not better nor worse, just . . . different. Same sneezing cat also puked on the rug next to the bed. Such a charmer, that one.
DeleteHappy, happy to you as well. And yes, let's! ♥
Today was back to work for me. It hurt. It hurt to wake up this morning even though I've been trying to get back on schedule. I'm exhausted now. I want my vacation back.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get much of a vaction which now, I'm rather grateful for given what I'm reading around the vines. I think several folks took the advantage of the super cold to take another day for themselves as the buses were lighter than the usual Monday throng.
