First Friday Off....

I could really get used to this. Yesterday was my first Friday off on our new FlexWork scheduling. I woke at my usual time, a little after 4 but I stayed in bed and tried to fall back to sleep.

That was a mistake because my 'roommates' knew I was awake and either sat on my head or walked across my chest in hobnail boots - or both. They really are funny. One or the other will stand over my face, peering into my eyes with a look that clearly says "You're awake. You're going to feed me now, right?" To aggravate them I'll just turn over and close my eyes. Of course, I can only do that just so many times or there will be a rebellion.

I told myself that I didn't have to do anything yesterday so cleaning my room made it easier because I didn't feel pressured into doing it. I am very ashamed to say it really was dirty. Not messy, just plain dirty. Furniture needed dusting and rugs needed vacuuming. I did my room and bath and today I'll try for my dressing room and the big hallway. If I plan it right, I should be done by 11:00.

Tonight, BJ, David's wife, Sharon and I are going to the Michael Buble concert. Sharon also loves Mikey, as BJ and I have named him, so it will be a fun time for us. I am looking forward to the evening out. I always have a good time with those two.

No responses on the 7 resumes I sent out last week on ads I saw on the net. I'll try again this next week. What I'd really like is a job where I would work 3 days a week, maybe 4 but would be eligible for health insurance. That would provide the coverage I need and would give me something to do. When I took this job my intention was to have a job with no guts or responsibility to it. It didn't take long for them to find out what I could do. That was my big mistake for not keeping my mouth shut. I'd like something as receptionist or switchboard operator - part time (with insurance bennies). I may pursue that.

It also seems on long weekends when I don't have to stress over work, my back gives me less trouble. Yesterday, even with a little physical work, my pain level was down by 70%. I think I tend to internalize my stress issues and carry it in my lower back.

I'm looking forward to a nice day today.

God bless you all.
