NJM 2020, Entry 17 - Quickly, Before I Zoom! in These Foolish Things

Well, the workday is flying by and I have a Zoom call with the icky licensing people in an hour and I forgot to bring my valium to work! Sometimes when I have these calls, I have to take a ½ tab of the good stuff in order to get through the stress of it all. These guys activate my anxiety like nothing I’ve ever experienced! Boss hates them more than I do, but he also doesn’t have to deal with them like I do. So it will be an hour of grilling at 4pm. I’ll be fine. I don’t have to deal with them often, and I can make it through this without the help of pharmaceuticals, though barely. Hopefully we will be done by 5 so I can give the dog a quick walk and then we can head out to run a few errands.

I’m getting my iphone upgrade tonight. I’ll be getting the new iPhone 12 Pro Max. The only reason I’m doing this right now is that I have that weird loan that Apple makes you get in order to get an upgrade every time a new phone comes out. It’s kind of like a lease, I guess. It reminds me of my car lease…which reminds me…

I am thinking about Mini Pearl II since my lease will be up on Mini Pearl, the Original in April. I have gone on the website and picked out the little cutie that I want (you can build your own on their website) and I’ve gone in and put a few things together but haven’t actually pulled the trigger yet. I am pretty sure I want a pearl white convertible (of course) with black racing stripes, black wheels, caramel leather interior with the cream-colored piping and manual transmission (to be totally zippy!). Whee!

And speaking of leases, my apartment lease will be up at the same time. That’s why I think I want to renew my car lease sooner rather than later so I don’t have to deal with allllll of this stuff all at once. And hopefully by springtime we’ll be a few steps closer to being over this pandemic.

And while I’m thinking about my to-do list, there’s still holiday decorating to do and shopping - online will be the vast majority of my shopping this year - even though part of my job is to go out and check out the scene during Black Friday. It’s such a different year this year.

It truly already feels like the end of 2020 is right around the corner!

Well, almost an hour just went by fast. Of course, I had several interruptions and now I need to prep for this call - mentally and physically.

Much to do!
