Last Post For a While

I think I mentioned I'm headed east this week. I leave tomorrow, just as Kansas City has morphed into a balmy paradise of mid-winter sunniness.  I'm sad to miss it.

Yesterday, I realized it was Valentine's Day only after my friend S. got a lovely batch of flowers from her honey.  I did remember it was V-Day in the morning, when the little angel and I left our cards for my beloved on the counter before whisking off to Oz, but by midafternoon, I was no longer feeling the love.

Around 2:30, I got called into my boss' office so that another manager could tell both of us about how her people think I never listen to anything they say. I believe the word "brainwashed" was used.  I'm not sure when I became the living dead, but it was, so to say, a wake-up call.  ha.

After this fun-filled afternoon, I seethed my way back over to Oz, where the little angel awaited me.  She was wearing her new pink shoes.  She put her head on my shoulder when I picked her up. She did not accuse me of starring in a zombie musical (a new genre of film to which my friend L. introduced me yesterday).  I love her more than my coworkers.  I decided she could win for the day.
