Today is a weird day. Am I invisible and is someone playing Jumanji?

I  started off this Monday morning on the wrong foot by accidentally washing my hair with my body wash. Not the end of the world but it took a while to wash the body wash out of my hair.

This morning in the elevator I walk in and head to the back like I usually do since I'm on the top floor. Some woman comes in, walks towards me and then turns around right in front of me to face the front of the elevator. I try to back up because I prefer to leave more than a half inch buffer between myself and the person in front of me, but I really don't have any place to go since I'm already in the back of the elevator. I step to the side for some breathing room. Am I invisible? Can you guys see me? I feel like that Mindy Kaling commercial.

Weird thing #2

Found on the way to the ladies' restroom. Who put it there? How long will it stay there? Is it a real or fake plant? Is someone playing Jumanji without me? So many questions, so little answers.

The universe can suck it right now

My mother called me this afternoon crying to tell me that Mr. Binx most likely has cancer. I feel horrible and I would like to request that the universe give my mom a break already! He is still eating and getting around ok. My mother said he was even playing with a toy mouse when they got home. She's not going to have further testing done or pursue treatment. Once he starts declining she'll bring him in to the vet so he won't have to suffer. Ugh! Why you do this universe? Can we get a miracle here?

I'll try to leave this post on a happy note.

I came home from work today and there was an overgrown aloe plant above my mailbox. Clearly the plant was meant to have a new home with me. I took him inside and trimmed him down. He was a little wild. He now resides in the bedroom where he will be safe from Bosco's teeth. I've also decided the plant is a "he". I think once I get the curtains up and maybe some white lights, the window area will look pretty cute.

Maybe that was more of a weird note to end on but finding the plant brightened my mood a bit after the cat news. Give your pets extra pets tonight.

Thanks for the warning

I almost fell for it.

Ginny. The blue period

Artist unknown because I found this on the side of a building.

How to take an expensive bath

There was a Suzanne Somers diet book at work so I took a peak. Here's what I learned.

"Every once in a while it's fun to be a little crazy: a warm bath of rose petals while sipping a frosty Fruit Smoothie."

Is there any water in this bath? I was thinking a couple of rose petals would do but no that is not crazy enough. You must buy out the flower shop and laugh about how you have enough money to drown yourself in roses.

Ah yes I also end my day sipping on ginger tea, nibbling on fresh fruit, surrounded by beautiful lace. This is after my rose petal bath. I feel myself getting thinner already!

I'm no Suzzane Somers but you'd never guess that I busted the zipper on my skirt right before I took these photos. It's called composure.

A toad in the city

I was walking to work today and noticed something moving across the sidewalk. I looked closer and it was a little toad! I have no idea how he got on a very busy Boston sidewalk but I couldn't leave him there. I picked him up and carried him down the street to where there were some plants and dirt and put him down there. I hope he's ok. He was so tiny and very much not where he should have been, poor little guy.

Found at the bookstore.

I found my biography at the Brookline Booksmith.

And then I found my portrait.

It was also nice enough out to not wear a coat. What a good day!
