Nebraska – Page 2 – Runnin' Down a Dream

Accurate

This day is perfect. I can handle this. Let’s just put it on repeat please.

Perfect day at the lake. #nebraska #branchedoak #lakelife (at Branched Oak Lake State Recreation Area)

“The sky’s awake, so I’m awake!” Sunrises like this are the perks of coming into work before 7am. #sunrise #nebraska (at Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services)

Because sometimes, in the middle of winter, you’re gifted with a pretty perfect spring-like day, and you HAVE to take advantage!

I wore my polka dot pixie pants today, and ran a decent 3 miles after work in the warm weather. I postponed tonight’s date to next week because my stomach has been bugging me. No regrets.

You guys…the nice guy texted AGAIN! He’s trying things with his ex one more time, but he wants to keep talking to me! Seriously dude? If that was my boyfriend I’d be angry. I told him I’d think about it. But honestly, no. Just no. Clearly there’s a lot of trust there if he’s essentially trying to keep me on the backburner while he waits for his relationship to crash and burn again! Ugh.

I’ve made a new girl friend at work. She’s awesome, she runs, and she’s really nice. #besties. Making friends as an adult is weird. But she’s great. We went to get sushi for lunch today.

Tomorrow is Friday. I’m so ready. Bring it on! Have a good one friends!

Snow day shenanigans.

I got up at 6am to check the weather and couldn’t go back to sleep after I decided to work from home. So i tried to remote into my work computer so I could do what I have to do first thing every morning…(send an email with all our of news mentions). It didn’t work so I just did it a different way. I tried to call a co-worker who did make it in for help, and then found out that our building lost power.

6 hours later they got it back on! (Fun fact: employees were sent home but still paid and had to come back when the power was back on. I tried to remote in again with no luck. Oh well. I’ll take PTO if I must.)

I ate breakfast then shoveled the very wet and heavy snow for an hour. My arms are still dead, but the driveway is totally clean!

After that I found the strength to make a chicken braid and watched Groundhog Day! It has been a very good day!

Before I started cooking the ex called and said that Rio had jumped the fence and asked if I had seen her at my house. Then he found her, but was stuck in a standoff in the middle of the street with her. I put my boots on and ran over to help. When she saw me she ran right to me and I was able grab her and he moved his car and picked her up and put her in the backseat. She was put in timeout when they got home! What a day!

Oh yeah, the nice guy started texting again…He has missed talking to me but is still so confused…so there’s that.
AND the firefighter (the emotionally unavailable one) asked me to go to the movies on Thursday! What is happening? Why? Get it together dudes. I don’t have time for games. Sheesh.

5 inches and it’s still coming down.
I am working from home, and glad I am because power is out at work and my coworker who made it in says it’s getting chilly there!

This is a wet heavy snow…And it’s crazy windy! Of course I can’t remote into my work computer, but I’m making it work! I’ve already done work today in my pjs, from my bed. That’s a win.

Officials are saying don’t travel if you don’t have to. So I’m going to stay put.
Too bad the satellite is out too…;)
