This past week...
Mar. 17th, 2024 09:45 pmWell look who didn't forget to post on time this week. =]
This week was a pretty good one overall. Work was ok, and honestly, quite boring. M & T were filled with catch-up work from the week before, and W & TH were spent on a simple but tedious project. My coworker T that I mentioned a few weeks back got the job she had been interviewing for, and she gave her notice on Friday. I'm super happy for her too - the changes over the past year were just burying her in stress that was never going to get better. I also found out that another coworker R is on the verge of quitting without having another job to go to. If that happens, we'll be down to the last two remaining people in the department (there were 25 a year ago when the company was sold).
We had some really nice weather here for part of the week, and I made sure to get out and enjoy some of it. Naturally it was short-lived (snowflakes floating around today), but I'll take what I can get. Friday I was off, and I had a terrific day. The morning was very low-key, mostly just read the book I'm working on. I had borrowed this one from a friend a couple months back, and the first third of it was sooooo hard to get through (I considered quitting it at least five times). But the main plot is finally kicking in, and I burned through a few chapters in one sitting. Had lunch with that same friend, with lots of good conversation that wasn't mostly about our jobs (I like when that happens).
Curling was great as well. My match was against my favourite person in the league, and another friend was in the match next to ours, so there was lots of fun banter and a really good atmosphere. And to top that off, our team all played exceptionally well and we came away with a strong victory. It was exactly the kind of fun I had been missing for some time, and I'm glad it's coming back.
Goals were deceptively high at 89% this week. Technically I was almost 100% on my sleep goals, and that's what propped up the marks. But the sleep I did get was so poor that I didn't really feel any better for it. I am very happy with my continued progress with the exercising though, and I've now developed a regular Monday through Thursday routine.
And with that I'm going to shut this down and head toward bed. I've had a toothache the past couple days that has made sleeping a challenge, so I figure I should get what I can now. Have yourselves a wonderful week - I'll talk to you next time. =]
