My sleeping medicine kicked in a bit later than I would have liked but I did get a decent nights sleep for the most part. I woke up early at 5:30a and still had a 1/2 hour to sleep but decided to just get up and get moving. That worked out pretty well. Had breakfast, got a shower and was on the road earlier than normal. Normal commute is 1 hour but I made it in 37 minutes. There was fog and the roads were wet which means my windows as well as other parts of the exterior got wet. Tis the season for a messy car, not fun when you paid good money to have it washed.
Last night I talked with an old friend for about an hour. It was good to hear her voice. She is going down hill health wise, she can’t keep any weight on. She didn’t say the “C” word but that is the first thing that entered my mind. We caught up and learned different things that have happened over the years. We used to talk on a regular basis but our friendship kind of dissolved when she was forced by a family member to tell me a lie. It’s really sad that blood is thicker than water and we tend to be more loyal to our family than our good friends. However, it is what it is.
My grief/depression is still around today. I got to talk with a few people at work, which kind of helped. I also found out about a bunch of give away items that I was supposed to have gotten but someone apparently stole mine. That’s the downside to not being here on a more frequent basis. They were trinkets but nothing really useful or exciting. I don’t understand why people feel the need to steal but apparently that is a thing.
The best news that I learned that still hasn’t been widely communicated yet is that this year we only have to come into the office 2 days per week. Ideally this should be scheduled so that someone from your department/team is in the office each day of the week but apparently you can pick your 2 days so long as it works out coverage wise. That’s kind of nice but I am sticking to my schedule which has worked for me thus far. 3 days in the office is a bit much considering that we all can do everything remote just as well as we can in the office, short of physically looking at a person.
I need to grab some lunch my sugar is starting to drop. Not much going on today or from what I see by my calendar this entire week really. It’s kind of like were all still on a holiday break but that’s okay by me. I am not looking to return to more work/stress all week long. Things will probably ramp up more next week but lucky me I will be out for 2 days and then we have a 3 day long weekend, that’s when I look for work life to return to much more of a normal state for me.
I hope that I can manage to shake off the funk/depression. I was doing pretty good but now that things are going back to a more normal state and I am returning to my routines I think that is what is doing me in, maybe not but whatever it is I wish it would go away. I get that you can exactly erase an absence/loss when you’ve been with them for 18 years but at the same time it’s just got to get better.
Hope your having a great day. I will be here in the office for a couple more hours and then around 3p I think is when I plan to call it quits unless something breaks. Going home early is a nice perk, especially when the boss man isn’t around. I just wish I was going home to my furry little girl. I will probably collapse and take a nap, I am ready to sleep now as it is.
Take care.
