A Day in the Life of Laura

     Thought I'd let you know what things happen in my life.  Times are approximated.

Thursday
6am Wake up (sort of) and get out of bed
6:10am Eat breakfast- cereal

6:20am Braid my hair
6:30am Get dressed for work- d'oh! I tore a belt loop!
6:45am Do  makeup
6:55am Hug and kiss Lyle good bye
7am At work
7:05am Logged on, do some computer and box work
7:30am Check facebook and see that the cover photo I had selected had inadvertently led people to believe I was either pregnant or adopting a baby
7:31am Write an explanation telling people that I'm not having a baby and change cover photo, log out of facebook (I hate facebook today)
7:32am Go to bathroom and cry
7:35am Put on a happy face and check the mirror to see if my eyes are too red, find grey hair
7:36am Pluck offending grey hair
7:37am Back at desk working again
7:38am Email Katie about traumatic morning event
7:39am Call mom and Lyle to check in, tell them both about traumatic morning event
7:50am Working again, good thing (helps distract me and I feel much better)
9am Morning walk with Holly (we get 1/2 hour to exercise 3 days a week, my friend  Holly and I go outside and walk)
9:30am Come back from walk, Holly pushes the handicapped button for the door to open automatically and I don't realize it, almost get hit in the face with the door
9:31am Back to my desk, laughing loudly at myself (the laughing helps me feel better too)
9:32am More computer and box work, eat fruit snacks
