Week of 23 May

 Monday was a holiday here and it rained all day.  I had to run out to deliver Avon but beyond that we just stayed at home and watched TV, napped, and read.  The girls played outside a bunch and got soaking wet and cold and had a ball.  I had got the treadmill all cleared off the day before so after supper I hopped on and walked my old usual of 30 minutes.  I'll be real and say it was a struggle.  I was very sweaty and tired and I wanted to quit many times but I held out and made the whole time.  The rest of the evening we watched a few of our DVR'd shows and then I had a hot shower and took myself to bed.  I did a bit of journaling and then was off to sleep once Marshmallow calmed down and stopped investigating everything she could get to.

Tuesday was back to work and it was a busy day.  I was booked for almost the whole day into meetings and trainings and it was hectic.  I also have decided to begin a basic yoga program and got that into my day while no one was home.  It went okay and it's only 20 minutes out of my day so I grab it into my lunch break.  I also managed to get the treadmill walking in so that was good, even if it wasn't any easier to get through.  I did have a bad day with purging though.  It was such that most of what I ate was brought back up.  In the evening Hubs and I watched another show and them it was off to bed where thankfully Marshmallow was well behaved and I got a good sleep.

Wednesday I woke up with a headache.  Thankfully it went away pretty quickly but I did have to take a pill for it.  My day was not as busy as they had been and  I managed to feel like I got plenty of emails handled and filed and I felt good about it.  Late in the work day I got a call about having an interview with HR about the job I applied for so that was a nice surprise.  Now I have a few days to stew over that until it happens and hopefully I get to the next step in the process.  We then went out for supper as Hubs was feeling like a treat.  I ate too much but it was very good.  I managed to get my yoga in but I didn't get on the treadmill after that big meal.  We watched a show, I had a shower, and we were off to bed.

Thursday was a good day.  I didn't do much beyond work but I ordered myself a frozen hot chocolate and an Italian soda and it was a good thing.  I had a steady day with work but at no point did I get too overwhelmed, so that was good.  I did my yoga at lunch again and tried to use the treadmill but it keeps glitching out and I got frustrated and gave up half way through.  I then had a bath, with popcorn and some tablet time and crawled into bed to do some journaling before sleeping.

Week of May 16th

 Sunday was supposed to be the first hot day of this year and it did get warm but not as hot as they expected.  That didn't stop the girls from getting in the pool though.  Hubs  also cleaned a bunch of the windows and screens as well. I basically slept all day.  I was so tired and I'm also feeling down so the only thing that I wanted to do at all was sleep.  I didn't even put one foot outdoors.  We had a roast for supper and it was crap.  The meat wasn't very good and the veg we cooked with it was half hard and half cooked.  It was a fail all the way around.  In the evening Hubs and I watched some of our recorded shows and then I was in bed by 10 with a face mask on.  

Wednesday was a bit of a stressful day.  I had regular work and then right at the end of the day I had a meeting with some higher level people to discuss my applying for a new position within the company.  It meant that I got to think about that "informal off the record" meeting all day.  It ended up going quite well I think but of course they can't tell me anything about the job I applied for beyond that I am one of three so far that have applied.  The posting is open for another week yet so there could be plenty of other choices for them to sort through.  I ended the evening by having a bath off regular night and then was in bed and asleep before 10PM.

Week of May 9

 Well I've not had any time to get to this space so far this week so it's going to be a rather short weeks worth of recalling.  The most exciting thing that has happened though is that due to a possible exposure to Covid, we are all self isolating for 14 days.  Many more of those days to come yet as we are still near the beginning of our time.

Wednesday I had a very busy working day, which has been the norm this week.  In addition to having been swamped at work I'm also wrangling the work of the two kiddos as they have to work from home and online.  It's meant that I have to keep track of who is doing what and then help them if they need it and submit all their work for them.  I know that Hubs could help out with that part but by the time I get him up to speed on what to do and how to get into things it's not worth it.  He is able to help with the actual work though, which is nice.  Hubs also decided that we should have pizza for supper, so that was the order of the day.  

Week Of 2 May 2021

Sunday started off as a normal day.  I've found that since I stopped watching videos/Netflix/Prime until 11pm I wake up early and refreshed for my day, even if I didn't sleep all that well or was up because of kids or kitten issues.  I'm awake before my alarm and ready to go for the day, not even wanting a nap in the afternoon, when before I was struggling to turn off the alarm and not go back to sleep.  I'm guessing it must have been the blue light because there are still days I stay up reading until almost that time but don't have the same issues.  Once I was up I got my grocery list all sorted out and ready.  I then had a shower, breakfast, and grabbed a kid for the trip.  This week it was Bug and that meant that I knew where we would have our lunch out.  After we got home from that I mentioned to Hubs that I was till having pain in my abdomen that was making me very uncomfortable.  He told me to go to the doctor and since it had been two days of pain I decided to listen to him.  I just went to the mediclinic and while I ended up waiting for about an hour (mostly because they forgot about me) I did get in with no issues.  After having to have my urine analyzed to rule out an infection there the doctor felt my tummy and based off that he gave me some medication to stop stomach muscle contractions and requested I get an urgent ultrasound.  Of course there are no ultrasound places open on the weekend so they said they would call me in the morning to let me know where and when to go.  Evening was pretty chill and I got to bed early while not feeling too badly.  I've opened the window in the bedroom for the season so it was delightfully cool in there and Marshmallow snuggled in close.

Monday was back to work and thankfully not too many meetings to start the week.  I was also awaiting the phone call to let me know where and when to get my ultrasound, which came at about 8:45am.  They were able to book me in for 2:30pm and I just needed to stop eating and have a full bladder.  The appointment itself was good but of course they never tell you anything.  They did say that the results would be available to the doctor within 24 hours but as of yet I haven't heard anything.  Bear was feeling a little down so we went for a drive and got a tea and had a nice chat.  The evening was boring, Hubs was watching the hockey game so I read for a bit and then we watched a show till bedtime.

Tuesday was another regular day until we got a notification that the presumptive case that had been identified in Bear's class was actually confirmed positive and was a VoC case.  They recommended that everyone in the class get tested and families could also get tested at the same time. So instead of waiting in line, we booked an appointment and got in at 6:30pm.  Now we are just hoping to not get a call because that would mean someone was positive and that would not be fun.  I also got the call from the doctor that said all my tests were normal so there is still no plan or idea of what is causing my abdominal pain.  I booked a phone consultation with my family doctor to see what he says.  Hubs and I didn't have a very good day yesterday and we both were angry and short tempered and I wasn't in a mood to deal with him at all. 

Wednesday and I'm finding my patience and good will are in short supply.  I don't want to work and I don't want to be around humans.  Work is not stupid right now but there is a lot of moving parts and I'm still feeling that I'm not getting the support I need from my boss.  Home life is fine, Bear is getting bored of being home all day but we are keeping her caught up on her schoolwork as it comes in and she has two virtual sessions a day.  Last night was my parent council meeting and that was good.  I got to get off my chest how I felt about the notification we received about Bear having to stay home and there were plans made for all the upcoming things that the school needs.  Beyond that I went to bed early and slept well until Bear joined me.

Week of 25 April

 Thursday was a crazy day at work.  I had meetings all day with very little breaks between them and some of them were very frustrating.  I'm also feeling very left alone by my boss and that I need to be the one making all the decisions and going to all the meetings and planning out the things that are going on.  In the evening it was bath night and I watched a fun and silly movie called Holidate.  It was not anything that I needed to concentrate on but it was light and fluffy and I enjoyed it.  It was a Christmas movie but I've just got around to it.  Besides that there was really nothing going on.  Being motivated to get everything done and focus has been the biggest issue and I have struggled anytime there is an out to not take it and say screw the rest!
