Digressive Ramblings...

Rain, rain, welcome back! Wouldn't be Seattle without it (1:08 PM)
We're seeing our first rainfall in 3 weeks! It's not a heavy downpour. In fact, it's just one of those occasional showers that fall randomly througout the day. I intentionally parked my car outside in an uncovered area because it's been begging to be washed for months. Sorry to say, I have no time for soaping or scrubbing. My poor car. I take comfort in the fact that it's been treated with a paint guard so dirt won't stick. I promise to give it a really good carwash this summer.

Caffein doze...(1:18 PM)
It's after 1 PM and I just gulped down a full cup of my daily caffein doze. I am not one who drinks coffee during breakfast. I usually just drink orange juice or milk in the morning and take my coffee after lunch--the time of day when I get most sleepy but doesn't have the luxury of hitting the sack.

WOoops!(1:29 PM)
I woke up late this morning--9 AM. My first failure after 3 consecutive days of successfully waking up at 6 AM and getting to work as early as 8 AM. Today, I came in at 10:30. Last night, I made the mistake of putting my cellphone (which serves as my alarm clock) right next to my pillow where I can easily reach for it and turn it off when it buzzes so I can go right back to sleep. And there was the cause of my failure to get up early! During the last three days (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday), I've been putting the cellphone on the dining table and leaving my bedroom door open so that when the alarm sounds off, I would have to force myself to get out of bed and walk all the way to the dining room to turn it off. By that time, I'd be wide awake and wouldn't be able to take anymore grant nap (or I like to call it OT for 'over-tulog'). I'd probably fail a few times before I can get this routine down again. But I'm keeping the failure quota to 3.

Food (or fool?!) for thought (1:43 PM)
Have you, my dear readers(hopefully it's plural), realized that this post's topic is a redundant? Webster defines both "digressive" and "rambling" as adjectives and lists "digressive" as a synonym of "rambling" and vice versa. But in my title, I used "rambling" as a noun rather than as an adjective. Errr, or did I use "digressive" as an adverb? Hmn...I can imagine the face of my college English teacher, Mrs. Tuason (the best English teacher I've ever had) all creased up at my digressive ramblings...Of course I could have just used "Random Thoughts" (**yaaawwnn**) for a title. But then if I did, I wouldn't have this extra paragraph of more ramblings! Oh well!

Update (3:56 PM)
Hail or snow is falling with the rain outside my office window. What a pretty sight!!!
