Hi there !
Did the dailies. Did a big laundry load. Talked with my DD on phone.
Rearranged and took down some hanger things from bedroom and den doors.
Put up a Command hook.
Talked to my BFF in CT.
Talked to a co-worker on the Eastern Shore.
Wishing everyone a Happy Valentine's Day and Ash Wednesday. And just a regular Wednesday as well.

Good morning everyone, Happy Valentines Day!
I had another night of decent sleep and feel good, so I have a long list of things I would like to get done today.
I'm waiting for the 8:00 feeding/meds/yard trip for the dog and then I will get started.

Happy Valentine’s Day all! well Diane you are just working along, so efficiently very impressive
After work yesterday, I took puppy for a 1.5 hour walk. We didn’t get hammered by the storm, but we did get some snow and colder weather; at one point during the walk there was zero visibility and the snow was like needles hitting my face -puppy was quite happy. She loves the snow.
I got home. I ate dinner and then I did dust the living room furniture. I was pretty tired, but I’m gonna try to do a chore each day to keep up. I also did the dishes to a shiny sink and I kept up with my nighttime routine.
Today was another really busy day at work. I am so overextended on projects. It is rather stressful. I have one staff member, who is very good technically at their job, very very good, but they are very difficult to work with. They like to find and point out mistakes- so I did make a mistake (I mistakenly left a person’s name off a meeting invite ! ) and sure enough they showed up my office door asking what happened, how did that happen, in quizzing me. I did not really answer, just responded very obliquely, it’s really none of their concern or business!!
Today I moved a meeting out because I needed to get some prep work done for it. There was no problem. It was a decision I made strategically and it is really better for everybody. This person got wind of it and came in my office and demanded to know why I had to do that. Did I not know that I had to have that document done ? I said no. They said that is hard to believe. I did not offer more. This is nothing to do with them. they’re good at their job technically but I’m really getting worn out working with them.
I am just really physically tired today. Work is so busy, the long walk with puppy last night the cold …I will be taking her for a walk shortly.. it is Ash Wednesday-I’d like to get to church tonight but I might just be too tired.

Good afternoon bree! Sorry you have to deal with co-workers that try your patience. As much as I loved working at the shelter, and as much as I loved the vast majority of people I worked with, there would always be one person who was a thorn in everyone's side. I know it's a lot worse in the corporate world where you're just a bunch of people thrown together, rather than a group all devoted to a cause, like we had at the shelter. I'm glad puppy got a chance to enjoy the snow!
I got a call from my shopping friend. She sounds so much like her old self, it's hard to believe that she's in a facility, confined to one room, and confined to her bed for most of the day.
Now it's time to feed the dog again, after I do that I will do one more list before dinner.

hi everypony!
happy valentine's, galentines, ash wednesday, and hump day!
yesterday's meeting re: caring for DB in the future gave me a lot to think about. DVD came up with some more ideas and questions this morning. I am so grateful he is in my life!
DONE: lie in DVD brought me coffee and gifts jumped up when rain started--we needed to do things in the RV and back yard took meds
typed up notes and sent to DPs opened up boxes of DVD's photos and memorabilia that got wet cause they were outside for some reason--reboxed and brought inside. I will save what I can!
today we are going to deliver/mail valentines cards.
NEXT UP: finish at least one more card sign and stick in envelopes address envelopes get dressed for errands consider what else we need to get today? post ecard to fb

Hi scholar, I remember you mentioned that your DB's carer was quitting, is it just a question of finding another carer or is your family trying to share in the job? That has to be a sobering thing for older parents to have to deal with.

Hi mylittlescholar. That is a big step w your DB. Diane it would be good to work people w a shared mission! But I guess Always a few clunkers! I took puppy for a walk after work in the daylight! Had a simple frozen dinner Ended up going to church for ashes. I am glad I did -it was good for me as I was in a dark, whiny place. I feel peace now I started a Lenten challenge. It is focused on purging clothes to donate. I want to make one donation per day. So I dropped off a top at the church donation bin tonight after ashes Next Dishes Bed
