Best Effort

I made my best effort to get to the office this morning but I woke up at 3a and didn’t fall back asleep until 5a.  I really wanted to go in but I subscribe to the theory “everything happens for a reason”.  Feeling quite groggy when I got up I really wanted to just take the day off.  However, I had planed work and am wanting to get that taken care of.  I forged forward and got started.  Then came the barrage of interruptions that seemingly wouldn’t end.  After a couple hours of that I was cooked.  Thing had calmed and I took advantage of it by heading up and laying down to watch some TV and cuddle with the cats. 

I had a meeting to come back down an hour later for a meeting and I got in most of the break before the interruptions started up again.  Meeting took place and my boss said that he was going to call me after our meeting but thus far that hasn’t happened.  I know it will happen when I take the first bite of my sandwich and therefore I am just biding time before I head up. 

I plan to try to knock out the remainder of the work that I tried to accomplish this morning after lunch, here’s hoping that there are no interruptions and I can get through it.  Hope is about all I have, I am pretty sure I will get bothered just the nature of the beast. 

I suspect my sleep interruption stemmed from losing a co-worker that I mentioned yesterday.  I struggled with calling to say goodbye and letting him know that I really enjoyed working with him.  However, I opted to just stay silent.  That doesn’t mean I can’t reach out tonight but honestly I am confused and don’t know what kind of reaction/reception I will get.  We worked together very well and close for 10 years and now he’s just gone.  That’s not something that happens often but it is part of life.  Here today, gone tomorrow.  Plus it’s the holiday season and the gift he used to send, it just is bad timing for all of it. 

It is warmer today and I wanted to experience that before we head back into the freezer but looks like I missed out.  I will feel the freeze when I lug the trash out tomorrow afternoon.  Better luck next week on getting to office. 

Now on to climbing the stairs and eating a sandwich, spending time with cats and getting them some food.  I am sure they are eagerly awaiting my arrival.  Hope that all is well in your world.  Take care!
