Cold, Rainy Days

I'm sitting here in my office watching the lights twinkle on the 3 computers, 2 monitors, and 19 external harddrives as files get backed up and transferred left and right. A few minutes ago, I meandered out of my windowless 3rd floor office and happened by a window, which I immediately rested my forehead against and peered out of.

It's raining. Not so hard to call it a storm, but not so slightly to call it a drizzle. And I could tell with my forehead pressed against the glass that it is cold out there.

Today is the sort of day you want to stay home and curl up with someone you care about while you watch movies and eat popcorn. The only part of that equation I have is the movies part. They're saved on an external harddrive here in the lab. BUT, I'm not home. I have no popcorn. And finally, I'm single. Yep. I'm spending this cold, rainy Sunday held up in my lab, all by myself, doing work for a paper I'm not a coauthor of. *sigh*

I'll probably bail in a little while. I'll hit the grocery store and at least solve that no-popcorn problem. Doubtfull that last problem will get solved at Publix, but who knows? The woman of my dreams might be trying to find the gallon of milk with the best date on it right now, at this very moment. In all likelihood this hypothetical lady is thousands of miles away, though. :(
