ohblondie very impressed!!! I am in bed yet - a work at home day. Our office hours have not yet started so I am not sleeping on the job. This would be commute time. I was up early and fed the animals Checked my work email Now I am back in bed with a glass of sparkling water. Will get up in a few. But I relish this quiet moment I remembered the fun thing I did on Sunday. I visited a relative who has a new puppy! So cute. So I had a weekend full of visiting I have not posted since Monday night. Basically I have been going to work, rushing home at lunch to tend puppy, rushing back to work, coming home, rushing to park to walk dog in as much sunlight as I can, and doing dishes and cleaning litter. It is cold here like 30 f but seems even colder. So the first three days of the work week are kind of physically exhausting. I did have leftovers from my Sunday cooking of a casserole which provided lunch and dinner for three days. Yesterday at work the big wigs said they are going to review every position to see about right sizing! So…that is the PC term for layoffs. I have no idea what could happen. Will continue to be frugal. So glad I am now fully vested! I will pray I keep my job. DD is just a freshman. But I truly have no sense if I should be worried or not. Hard to get that place! Last night I finally invested some time in my finances, updating things and paying bills. One credit card is paid off!! Ok now must get to my desk!!! (My dining room table)

Well I am headed to the ATM to get money to make my car payment. And get a slice of pizza for lunch.
I had a conference with one of our attorney's today. She said "It appears you might have your references correct" meaning I had researched and presented correctly - she just felt our division should have an attorney presenting our legal work and not lowly me.

wow ohblondie sounds like you did a great job! Hi Diane so work is chugging along. had one meeting that was ok but one person is putting up barriers. I made my case Also had some smaller snafus reported to me. they are ok in the general scheme of things - we'll survive! I just put a load of laundry in. puppy blankets. I put a fresh towel or blanket in my love seat every week and I forgot last week - wow does puppy shed! ate lunch too early. now I need fortitude to not eat the afternoon away. need to think up a dinner. I finally signed up for online banking for my major bank!! I have just been doing phone banking. this is a great leap forward. silly me to wait so long! I have apps for the other credit unions that I use. Lunch break is on the horizon. will do more financial work. I am behind in that and so many other things! might use the other half to take puppy for a quick walk. right now she is content with a bone. girlcat is meowing and chirping for lunch. girlcat likes to lick the gravy off wetfood and constantly is chirping for a new can! goldenthreads I read somewhere that you used to go to the library to do procrastinated tasks. Pre pandemic DD went to the library one hour on Saturday afternoons for a study type thing. I would go find a spot and go over all my paperwork uninterrupted. One hour a week. It was a peaceful time and I was caught up! There is a fireplace there and I often sat by it. now I'm a hot mess! |

Yes, bree, I finally did my library time yesterday and was able to focus on the task in that quiet, and I plan to do it weekly. I haven't been able to replicate that at home, in spite of no other people or pets to distract me. I hope that someday you'll be able to find a time and place to make it work again! |

Hi goldenthreads yes I do love sitting in the library! when DD was home, on my work lunches I would sometimes drive to a nearby library to do paperwork. So I took puppy for a walk. she scored two things: a deer antler! She was beyond happy. I managed to put it in my pocket eventually or we'd prob still be out there while she chewed. Then, she found a glove! much more joy. We were close to the end of our walk at that point and she carried it proudly home and left it in the front yard. She now naps while mama is back at the computer! just received an annoying note from Chaos. sigh. not really annoying, her request is reasonable if we had the resources to do it! I need to run to ATM to get money for lawn guy - he collects now even though there is snow out there. I guess my first sign of spring is this bill! Then I need to make a list of all the work projects that i have to do. herding cats! |

Good afternoon everyone, I'm home from my doctor appointment. There was the usual 45 minutes wait past my appointment time and then it took a while to describe my various pains. I have a referral for xrays of my sore hips, and also of my abdomen again to see if there is anything different from the last xrays a couple of years ago. Then there was blood work that took forever because the lab tech seemed to be having trouble with the computer when setting up the paperwork.
We're supposed to get rain during the evening and then it changes to snow overnight with possible accumulation.
I'm so tired, I've now had 2 nights in a row when I woke up at 2:30 am and couldn't fall back to sleep, although this morning I did finally get one hour additional sleep from 5-6. Maybe just nerves from my doctor's appointment.
I still can't tell if the dog is better, sometimes I think yes and sometimes no.
Now I'm going to have a late lunch and by then it'll be time to take the dog out.
Diane

Done:
Handled mail
Wiped down toilet
Wiped down sink surround
Bleached sink
Achieved dining table zero
Prepared lunch for tomorrow
Got free bookcase out of my car and into my room at work
3 weeks to my next vacation. Mum will also be back from her long trip then and then I can hopefully make some real head way.
Resisted buying some new clothes today - funeral next week and I had to remind myself I have some new in packaging black trousers so I don't need to go buying more at this point.
I appreciate all of y'all's support, even when I'm less chatty.

Hi reve! Ooh, you got a free bookcase? 
I took the dog out and have mostly been de-stressing ever since. I did go out and clean the seed pool of seed husks since we're supposed to get rain/snow tonight.
I do believe the dog is having a somewhat easier time going up stairs.

Hi oust! How is your tomato plant doing?
Well, now I have a headache, so I'm just going to get to bed a little early. Hopefully I will be ready to be productive tomorrow!
Good night everyone, see you in the morning.
Diane
