- This day has irritated me since… last night! Strap in; I have a lot of complaints. Firstly, I crafted the Wednesday post but didn’t even post it. Sigh.
- Secondly, we have this sensor light just outside the back sliding glass door and it isn’t working correctly. I.E. when set to go off after 3 minutes, it does not. Ash thought he fixed it but it stayed on all night!
- Woke up at 5 today when my son decided he’d go outside to do something with his pool equipment. Went downstairs to find he’d left an entire block of Monterrey jack cheese on the island…all night long. You owe me cheese, son!
- Went to work and everyone was driving like absolute trash; made a bad decision to eat breakfast. Got to work and the new security guy parked in my spot. It was one thing after another!
- I am determined to turn my mood around though because I know that it isn’t doing me any good.
- We can talk about my Wednesday off – for Veterans day; I woke up naturally at my normal alarm time (that is to say, without said alarm). Had my coffee, enjoyed some quiet. By 8 I was out on a run. I am not fast or doing any kind of distance but I DID run one mile without stopping or walking. It’s so depressing thinking about how I used to run half marathons and now a mile feels difficult. Age, man.
- I was motivated after so I did some weed whacking. Soon after Ash got back from his run, we did work on the Mother of all Roots. We made some good progress too. My middle boy came out and helped quite a bit, so that was nice. Because of all that, we decided to go to Sonny’s for lunch. Not my favorite BBQ but decent and a nice little outing. My daughter was hanging out with friends, working on some school group project. In the afternoon, we watched two movies: Presumed Innocent and Witness. I was surprised I had not seen either of those, actually.
- All in all, I really enjoyed my day off mid-week, even if it meant today feels like a Monday all over again.
- And I should be thankful and happy; nothing is really wrong. I just feel unsettled. One success I had yesterday was that we met our first deadline for the yearbook. We needed to submit 26 pages and even though I only got 24 in on time, I got the last two in the next morning. There’s some leeway in there but I wanted us to meet it regardless. The next one will be tough though; we have about a month to do 34 pages and I can’t see how we are going to make it.
- We have brew club tonight and I am looking forward to it. Again, living within day-tight containers helps me not to feel overwhelmed.
- EC meeting on Friday, which means work but also fun. We’re going to this pizza place that has decent food but great beer pitcher prices. We have no plans this weekend but I MUST: put Halloween things back in storage, log the beer cans into our system and box them, clean up our game room. I started on some of the things I needed to do yesterday (like moving these buckets Elliot leaves for us from his work into another area) but I just constantly feel behind!
- I had posted a video recap that looked good for my 10th graders then when I went to show it, realized it was terribly inappropriate and had to reroute. Today is just going to be that way!
- We had a troupe of five actors perform an hour long version of Romeo and Juliet today at school and it was actually quite good! I have much grading to do so, I am off!
