good weekend, bad monday (already)

the weekend started with dinner out with chris and lynn. saturday we got up, lounged a little and then took oliver to the dog park in verona. this was his first visit and he loved it. i mean, he was so excited. i ran home from the park via the ice age trail...good run except i grew a couple more blisters on the bottoms of my feet to go with the blisters on my heals...nice. then it was off to the mt. horeb beer festival with greg and kerry (sp?). furthermore brewery from spring green was representing...and they got all our votes for best beer. one of our friends does all the graphic design for the packaging and it was looking tight. the we went to the grumpy troll for dinner (and to soak up some of the alcohol) and then back home for a fairly early night in bed. sunday we did some more lounging, bought an external hard drive to back our computer up (we thought our hard drive was croaking) and then got out in the beautiful weather with the dog. we hiked around blue mounds, checked out brigham park and then took the long cut home. what a beautiful day. finished the weekend off with pork chops and apple sauce...tasty.

work has been slowly, methodically and surly getting me down lately. most of the management are women...and most of those women are on maternity leave. so a lot of bs is filtering down (you know, everyone has to go beyond their job descriptions without any reward because of other peoples' choice to have a small human). i'm doing work for other groups that have no organization whatsoever.

and it's bringing me down.
