August 1st

awww.. a new month.

 I want to make a habit of writing something about my day.. a journal, a diary.. how a blog would normally be.

so a rather twisted turn of events.

I was originally working 5 days a week, and I "advanced" to a new position and worked 4 days a week. 

well about 2 months ago now, I changed to 3 days a week.. it was my own request, and it wasn't an easy one. I was exhausted working such long days, 4 times a week. my days home were literally spent recovering so I'd have the energy to go back and do it again another week. 

then Covid happened, and I was even more tired.. our schedule did not lighten up - in fact there were even more appointments, and the workday seemed endless. I was out for a week while I waited for test results (I didn't know fatigue was a symptom until that moment). test results were negative and a week off work didn't make me feel any better. blood test -notmal.. still felt like "crap".

so I "advised" her that I wanted to change my schedule.. I had to "put in a request" since someone else had asked the same..

I wasn't ASKING for a change, I was changing.. 😤

so yay, I'm at 3 days a week.. 3 12-  or 13-hour days 😑

so I'm still a zombie on the days I'm home.. an un-productive zombie 😭

so I guess my kitchen towels will be Orange, Red & light green 😁

Ronnie had a class 9:30-10:00, so I raked the chicken coop & cleaned up doggie poops.. trying to be productive but quiet (right outside his working window). they ended up scheduling every Saturday all month long - 9:30-10:00. so when I'm not working, I'll be quietly cleaning 😊

hung out with a friend today.. 

went to Tejon Outlet Mall, and then hung out at her house with her kitties, talking.
it was incredibly simple and fun 😍
