Good Saturday!
Lori- OMG no offence but your BIL would drive me crazy. I just could not do the middle of the night roaming and not the talking! Can you not talk to your hubby and suggest that he stay in a hotel or something when he comes? How far out does he live from you? If it is like an hour or even hour and half he can take his butt home!
When is SIS coming?!?!?!? That is a better question! I hope you have fun with GS graduation! I never liked those- but it's one of those things we all do, like family reunions!
Are you serving lunch or dinner?
Nic- - you too are playing hostess this weekend. Thankfully you all are going to dinner! It is a short trip!
You know I too am to the point in life I just LOVE MY SPACE. At the end of the day I want quiet, and my space the way I like it. Just me and the pup and it is good! I get peopled out (more on that below!).
How is DS and C+? Thankfully you did not get it and all is well.
Trig- saving your spot! I am hoping things are working out as they are supposed to.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Well I can't believe I got through a week. I was ready to walk out after day ONE. I struggled to know if I wanted to go back.
I don't like being deceived. She got me in there: Her comment was "I knew you would love it when you got here".
So I am meeting my peers and staff. They are very sweet and kind people. I do "SEE" where this is a family type of work place. People here work together and there does not seem to be back stabbing, or neg talk about other co-works. They genuinely like working there and with each other. They are very welcoming to me. This is tough, I might "see I like it". Jury is still out but now I am a bit more open as it is important to like who you work with.
I actually might like the actual work too- as it what I do when I work as a discharge planner in facilities, and they use software I have used before. Their processes are very familiar to me. I might just keep "looking" but give this 30 days and get off orientation and see how it goes.
Things are actually falling into place. Ruger is getting comfortable with day camp and they are VERY GOOD with him. He gets to play with other dogs and is not confined to a crate all day. They also give him "rest time" where he has a cubbie and a cot and water in the AC= priceless. I can focus on my work and not worry about getting home or feel guilty about leaving him in a cage all day.
My commute is 8 minutes to doggie camp and 15 minutes from there to my desk. That includes drive and walking in and up to the 3 floor. NO traffic as I am back streets and no highways. It is literally a circle.
Last night I got off at 5, had Ruger in the car at 5:12, stopped and had Instacart dropped in my trunk (grocery's) and was home by 5:35! I had pot roast in my slow cooker, so dinner was done. I had me fed, him fed and dishes done and put away by 6 and was ready to R&R in my cozy space. I did have a moment of gratitude for it all.
I will say though that is position is very in your face people. It is a very busy place and the case manager is sort of the driver for the patient and the families and the staff. So EVERYONE wants to talk to you about the needs. It can be overwhelming if you let it. I was so tired last night I was just "peopled" out and wanted so down and quiet time. It was nice.
Today I am working to get my closet and office finally the last bit organized. Both are functional but not the way I want it to be. Tidy it up.
Super HOT HOT HOT here.
Going out with my mom and her husband and buying as my way of saying thank you for assisting me in the move. I will meet them at the restaurant. We are going to Fish Tales, on Lake Lanier. It has a lake view and you can watch all the boats come in while you are eating. I always get grilled PLAIN grouper and a side salad, and DONE! Not a WOE breaker!
Speaking of- BACK down to my low and SO ready for that to keep moving down a few more! Three more pounds would put me in a "new" bracket of ten pound blocks!
90's
80's
70's
60's ect ect ect you get the picture.
I am now well into the 100's now as opposed to the scale hitting 200+
I am keeping my stats up to date.
Anyway- time for more coffee and start on the office!
