So I'm caught up with LJ, twitter, email and slacktivist, which makes this the part where I'm supposed to put down the computer and get ready for work. I have assorted garage items I need to find and take with me, too. But a twelve-hour day lies ahead of me and I haven't even had any coffee yet, and I don' wanna! I'll post, instead.

The reason I have to collect the assorted items from my garage is that tomorrow $COMPANY is sponsoring a carnival day for charity. My team, as you might guess if you remember that our aisle is a putting green, is running a chip shot contest.

The reason I have a twelve-hour day ahead is that I volunteered for the CERT (Community Emergency Response Team), and the training is after work on Mondays. Must wear comfortable clothes, it's hands-on training. Today is first aid.

Yesterday my ex-husband was awarded his master's degree. He invited me to the ceremony, and I went. Commencements are boring as hell, honestly, but I had been supportive of his endeavor where his family often were not, and it seemed like the right thing to do. But UMSL is crazy, scheduling commencement exercises for Mother's Day!

At least we had waffles with strawberries and cream at home first. Nom nom nom.

It could be worse - my brother's graduation at Columbia is on a Wednesday. Apparently they figure the relatives of their graduates don't work.

Yummy, waffles

Congrats on getting the first aid training. Few people realize that in a true community crisis, one of the first resources to become overloaded is the healthcare system. The more people we have in the community who are familiar with basic care, the more resources we have for the truly critical cases. Good luck!
