blame

somehow, the sun is out being sunny and everyone seems to be down this whole week. i would blame it on the weather, which is usually my solid go-to when i need to blame something, but the sun has been out all week.

never fear, though! i have a theory. actually, it's several small theories that amount to one big theory (not to be confused with the big bang theory, which isn't really a theory but a tv show).

we were spoiled by the heat wave from a couple weeks ago. suddenly, it's sunny but not so warm. it's such a letdown.

also, all of the fun springtime allergies are kicking in. that, plus the change of seasons (apparently, they are two different causes -- two sicknesses, if you will) is giving everyone major allergy symptoms. it's hard to be chipper when you head is clogged and/or aching.

um. so really, it's just two points in my theory. but i think i'm right. does anyone else have any opinions they'd like to share?

monday, monday

it was a beautiful day outside! i only got to see it once during my work day, when i took the long way back from the bathroom (by going outside, walking down the parking lot, and entering through the front door).

in other news, congrats to our latest pregnant chick, who just found out she's having a boy!! relatedly, i started knitting a baby boy hat (for the already established male that's coming). i'll make two. :)

in more other news, a co-worker didn't come in today because his heart is too big on one side (or so i'm told, because i haven't been able to look up the story on facebook. that will have to wait till i get home) so he fell over and had to visit lots of doctors. so, no, he wasn't hit by the boss's car while the boss was driving it... but it's dramatic enough for an otherwise boring monday. seriously, i didn't send out hardly any emails.
