…just another random person's thoughts & digressions.
Dean has been sick for a few days, now. I’m sure he’ll be okay, but still, I’m a little worried. I hope he gets better soon. We’d taken him to the doc on Monday, and the guess was that he’s just fighting some unknown stomach bug. Hopefully it’ll pass tonight.
This phone is a little bit of a pain. Sad, really. It’s still somewhat snappy at doing things. The trouble is that it’s outdated and today’s apps just demand too much. And that’s sad, as communities of programmers have shown that we can get so much more out of computing hardware decades older.
Just a quick note. Earmarking having broken two phones recently due to work related activities. Am now using an old phone I still had laying around at home.
Really wanting to get back into writing something each day. We’ll see if I can make that happen.
I’m tired of being tired.
Tired.
Really don’t wanna be at work, but I’m here.
Yay.
Went to Morehead. Got an AM/FM radio at the Peddlers Mall.
Ugh. I’m tired. But I’m always tired.
The social hour always seems to bug me when I’m walking into the breakroom before the meeting. I’m not sure why it bothers me, but for some reason hearing the goofy laughter and commentary over whatever the latest stupid thing someone saw on whatever social platform bugs me.
It’s been a while since I’ve written anything; so much for trying to get back in the habit of journaling regularly.
My almost nightly writing kind of died off because of a change in things at work. I had been able to spend a stupid amount of time before work to do a little bit of writing–with the clocking in a tad early, waiting for the meeting, and writing just a little bit more during the meeting. At some point, someone caught on that we were wasting a ton of time and money, and we were finally instructed not to clock in until our scheduled start of shift, and meetings started firing off just a little bit earlier. I can’t complain about that, because, duh, they were throwing money out the window; unfortunately, my journaling before work died.
I guess maybe I should try to start keeping up with my writing efforts on my lunch break.
I got a decent amount of sleep today, for a change, so I don’t entirely feel like a zombie. I’m still tired, however.
I am not following my usual thing tonight; I decided not to wear my vest, and I carried in a set of earbuds. I’m not sure if I’ll listen to my own thing tonight, but if I decide to, I’m equipped. As for the vest, I based my decision on having lost my name badge somewhere. I checked a few places in my truck where I would’ve expected it to get caught and fall off, but I didn’t see it. It’ll likely be a pain trying to get a new one, as backwards as this place seems to run.
I’m not entirely looking forward to tomorrow morning. I have to take Violet to get another set of retainers made, so I won’t get much rest between the initial school drop-off and the Dean drop-off.
I need more rest.
“what have you done today?”
I slept.
I really hate giving that as an answer. I wish there was more that I could do, but, unfortunately, work really drains me and leaves me with hardly any time to do anything. I really need to change that. Whether or not I change the work element, I need to change my inability to do anything. I just need to find a way to force myself into doing more than what I’m thinking I’m capable of doing. And the biggest hurdle I need to tackle once I get past my low energy issue is household chores. I need to fit in more time to clean the house, since it seems that I cannot rely upon Violet to help as much as she had said she would.
I guess a few of the things I need to do first in order to get myself in order is do a few of those “simple” things like exercising more and eating just slightly better. Exercise more; kinda laughable as I’m exerting a decent amount of strength and energy at work. But, I know that by now my body sees it all as normal routine. I should also look into better food options while at work, rather than what I’ve been getting myself to get through the night.
Sigh.
This sucks.
( this should be at 00:08 on Sunday)
Four hours ago the prompt asked, “what has made you happy today?”
Well, I ‘ll say and watched Coraline for the first time with Violet and the kids; that was pretty cool.
…but Nivea outdid everything with a quick surprise visit right when I needed to wake for work. Her and some friends got together and had a road trip back to Cynthiana, and while she was in the area she popped by to drop off a few little gifts she bought everyone. And, though her interaction with Violet was very brief–opening her door and tossing her gifts on the bed–the quick interaction and gifts made Violet nearly cry in happiness.
