Spread 'em

One of the secretaries in the department asked for today off earlier in the week. The other secretary had a family emergency on Wednesday and so I'm the only secretary here for the day. Which means I opened the office at 7:30, and am staying until 5:00. The secretary with the family emergency was here when I arrived this morning, but isn't sure how long she'll be able to stay. So I won't get a lunch unless one of the other faculty staff members comes in and wants to staff the office area for an hour this afternoon.

GOOD TIMES.

I am having Lady Problems after quitting the estrogen-regulating supplement from Dr. Khosh. I went off it three weeks ago and it seems pretty likely the issues I've had since then (short cycle, rough period, intermittent spotting) can be attributed to the loss of that supplement. Dang. I was hoping I could cut one expenditure off the list, but no go. I'll be picking up a bottle of that tomorrow morning before we head to KC to see The Hobbit.

Speaking of The Hobbit: PLEASE DON'T SUCK. OKAY? JUST DON'T SUCK.

Desert Dancer is having a 20% off sale on their pants through the end of the year. These are the pants I wear at Smoker--the Melodia knock-offs. They're nice pants, and the black pair that I wear the most and have had the longest finally gave up the ghost this year, after five years of wear. Granted, I don't wear them as often as some (most?) dancers, but still. For the price--especially the sale price--they're good pants. I have her make mine with a lower rise (two inches lower in front, one and a half inches lower in back), so if you wear your pants low, keep that in mind. She makes orders as she gets them, so you can ask for customizations when you buy.

In addition to the ten-squats-an-hour that I do at my desk, I'm going to incorporate some Power Poses a couple times a day.

Thank you for posting that video. I am going to Power Pose in the elevator and the big stall in the bathroom every day at work, every time I am in either one of them. This I need to do.
