Friday was off and running as I jumped out of bed and began running on the usual treadmill. As I was drying off and getting out of the shower something went horribly wrong. It felt like a piece of thread from the towel got stuck in my eye. Remember being told not to rub your eyes? Well that goes out the window when something gets stuck in them. I tried flushing, rubbing even using some canned air. All of which have helped me before but failed this time. It was painful but I got things to a manageable point and jumped back on the treadmill. Out the door I went and once I got on the freeway my eye really started to bother me. I removed my glasses and started rubbing, I got an idea to hold my cold soda up to my eye and wow that really helped out a lot. Eventually things settled down and I was able to make it to the office. Once I got in my cube I broke out the lubricating eye drops and just tried to flush it out. I did feel better but still in pain because it felt like there was a grain of sand in my eye. It wasn’t until close to lunch when I removed my glasses and began rubbing my eye that what ever was in there finally worked it way out. I was so thankful but at the same time worried about how things would be come Saturday. Well Saturday is here now and everything is a okay. My eye lid is a bit sore from all of the rubbing but otherwise I am fine.
Another storm was predicted for our area but thankfully it wasn’t supposed to start until after the evening rush. As I was on my way home it started to sprinkle. The temps were below freezing and the rain was supposed to turn to snow. Well surprise all we got was some rain and a bit of ice out of it. There isn’t any snow outside. Lots of wind but I still decided to keep with what was a guaranteed solution to keep me safe and that was staying home. It’s about 10 minutes until 8 in the evening and I never, ever ventured outside or even opened the door to the garage. I’ve been binge watching Frankie & Grace and then on to other TV when that was done. I have had my nap. Never took my morning pills or had breakfast. Had a wonderful dream where I saw Big Boy (aka Bear) it was awesome. I just finished up 20/20 on the Jim & Tammy Story from last night. I decided to come check on my office since I haven’t been down here for a few days. Everything is still in tact and there were no surprises waiting for me.
An announcement came out on Friday about my promotion. My bosses boss sent it because he’s a power hungry control freak. He didn’t want to send it in the first place but I kept applying pressure and it finally worked. My boss is out of the office but when we talk on Tuesday I’m going to tell him I sent a thank you message to his boss followed by the comment of Grandma was slow because she was old, what’s your excuse? I just want to see his face over the video phone it will be priceless. I didn’t and wouldn’t send such an email but I did think about it for a bit. It’s funny how I talked about potentially leaving my job and then I get an email of all of these opportunities available to me from a professional social network. If you didn’t know otherwise you would think our lives are bugged and hell to an extent they are but I don’t believe just because I say chocolate chip cookie that I am going to get coupons for chocolate chip cookies. If I do then I will start talking about my need for large sums of cash and well maybe that’s how I will make millions.
It’s been a very enjoyable day being lazy and lounging around. Now the work has to get done, so tomorrow I will start with my usual routine and then make a couple of extra trips out. Start the laundry and maybe just maybe take myself out for dinner. I kind of wish that I would have gotten in gear today but am also thankful that I had the option to make a choice. Every time I heard a siren I thought to myself they probably should have stayed home like I did.
By the way my calendar looks, Tuesday will be a busy day and also the start of an on-call week for me. To my advantage it’s 1 day short of the usual full 7 days. That is thanks to the holiday we get on Monday. Unless it’s going to snow buckets in the middle of the week I am done with winter messing with my weekends.
I hope all is well in your world and that your staying warm. I am off to go surfing on the web, at least that way I won’t drown. Cheers and we shall talk again soon.
