Calming yet professional?

I missed my 2 year blog-iversary on Saturday.  There were a few reasons.  First of all, doing my anniversary post seemed like far too much work, since it involved cleaning my closets, which had become dangerous areas given the second reason: we were hosting a Christmas/Going Away party that night.  The third reason was that I stayed in my pajamas until about 5, since I was writing my second chapter of my thesis, and cleaning until then.  The fourth was that my body decided to mutate.  By the end of the night, I had the most hives in recent memory.  The good news is that I discovered my latest allergy trigger: tomatoes.  You know, that ingredient in all things good things like salsa, pizza sauce, lasagna, and ketchup.  It was so bad that I spent Sunday in my pajamas too.

Ok, that was just an excuse.

Today I had no excuse to not get dressed.  I invigilated an exam bright and early in the morning.  It was my first experience in that role, so I spent some time considering what was appropriate winter wear for that circumstance.  In fact, I went to bed with two outfits in mind: one for a frigidly cold windchill, the other for a slightly (very slightly) warmer weather. Needless to say, I went with the cold one.  The scarf is new, and adds some much needed colour. 

Now tomorrow, I work my regular part time job, so I feel very strange setting my alarm two mornings in a row.  I know, I'm spoiled!
