Laying Low on Labor Day

I plan to be awake today for less than 12 hours today. Is that normal? Also, I'm pretty sure I snubbed my grandmother. She was supposed to call me when she arrived in Manhattan sometime today. Then we were going to have lunch. She specifically said that I should call her if she didn't call me. I didn't call her. I'm going to pretend that I was sick. In a way I was. I was suddenly hermetic.

I have the best cubicle at work. It has very good Feng Shui. A large red pillar; a protective filing cabinet; an expansive amount of space. It has a VERY cold vent that blows directly onto my head.. Last spring/early Summer, I was sick almost 1 day a week because of the gusty wind. I've finally convinced them to shut off the vent. The air still trickles out though and last week I was out sick. I blame the vent. Anyway, I wrap my head with a black pashmina to keep warm. Some people think I've converted to Islam. I wonder if that joke will eventually get old. I also change into thick cotton tights (white or black) and sport a cardigan or wool turtleneck. I look ridiculous and it's difficult to coordinate. I'm thinking about getting a space heater. I will not move cubicles unless the situation escalates.

Now that I'm really excited about going to work in my freezing cubicle tomorrow, I think I will write out my rent check and possibly watch the wretched Pushing Daisies online before bed.

Today I ate: One salami/turkey/goat cheese/arugula/onions/sprouts sandwich on ciabatta bread, mashed potatoes, kale, chicken soup, cottage cheese, 2 plums, one peach, one apple, homemade banana split, many chocolate cookies, milk, 1/2 dark chocolate bar.
