Mr. Potato Head takes a break to eat an icy Otter Pop on a hot afternoon. I took the photo to send to a friend who had given me Mr. PH as a gift... it is a long story.... but I love the photo, even without any context.I overslept this morning. No morning run this morning. I have to be out of here and to work - pronto! I have a huge day today. And somehow I am getting a new work computer in the middle of this. I am getting another laptop, but I don't have a docking station, keyboard, mouse, and monitor to go with it for now, so I will just have to use the laptop unaided until I can order those things. I have all that paraphernalia now, but it fits a notebook, not a laptop. I told the IT guy yesterday that if the laptop has one of those tiny nubs for a tracker thing, he could just keep the new computer... but it doesn't. It has a mousepad. I have found getting a new computer at work stressful, so I hope I can just chill about this, especially on such a day.
This morning, I am ironing an apron to go with my clothes, because this afternoon I am serving root beer floats. Hospital management will stand outside, serving up these taste sensations, as a fund-raiser. It should be fun. (and yes, I do have more than one apron, several more than one...)
OK, I am pressed for time, and a bit whelmed. But I am grateful to be sober. I am grateful to be gainfully employed. I am grateful to a loving God who has been so so so so good to me.
I hope you all have wonderful sober days today.

Good for you on the new computer. Maybe IT people will set it up for you. I like Mr. PH.
Sober today...and gratitude is one reason why. I LOVE new computer challenges.
I don't even know the difference between and notebook and a laptop. I thought they were the same.
Stay whelmed.
I have always been a full PC user and haven't had much experience with laptops, but when I have, I don't like the smaller keyboard. I'm a full-fingered typist from the old days of electric typewriters, so I need the satisfaction of the keys submitting to my fingers. I never feel like I'm really "typing" with a laptop keyboard and my fingers feel cramped.
Yes, I'm an old man in a 43-year-old body. :-)
I hope your day goes well!!
I love Mr. PH! Especially his feet!! I also own quite a few aprons! I happen to love the old fashioned feel of them, and I even have holiday themed ones!
After a very, VERY, long hiatus, Mr. Potato Head reappeared in our house this weekend. It brought a smile to see yours on your blog. He was a childhood favorite and I couldn't wait to introduce him to my kids. Granted he was banished to the back of the closet for close to a year. But he is now out and breathing once again.
new computers...uggh
many aprons....OH YEAH!!
new computers are almost as disconcerting as new smart phones. They look pretty but the older I get...sheesh! :)
have fun serving root beer floats! YUM!
