Getting It Together

I am on day one of a long weekend. I decided, rather impulsively, that I needed some down time. Some me time. Some alone time. Right now, I am here at home in my PJs and it’s just me and the dog. I like this. Can’t tell you the last time I was home alone like this.

I love my family, but an only child has this need for solitude that multiples just don’t understand. My son gets it. My husband doesn’t.

I haven’t been writing, not because I have nothing to say. (Lord knows my mouth likes to run.) But because work has been so busy as to cause me physical pain. One wouldn’t imagine a desk job could be so exhausting but I’ve been hit with shoulder and hip pain and recently this annoying ache in my left thumb joint.

Someone call the whambulance.

Seriously, I’ve just been avoiding the computer at home since I am spending hours a day attached to it at work.

And I’ve gotten over my job suckage issues for the most part. I’ve been designated a “Level 3 SME” which is kind of like a promotion, or at least a recognition of my experience and skills. It’s like getting a pat on the head and we all know how happy that makes me. : )

I’m also trying to enjoy home more. Enjoy being with the people I love who do make me happy. I’m trying to learn to leave my job issues at the work place.

Which brings us to the weather. Holy crap it’s snowing again. I guess if it’s going to be sub-zero freezing it might as well be snowing but I feel like the weather is holding my captive these days. I’ve had to cancel too many plans because of it.

And that’s it. I’m spending more time on facebook these days just because it’s easier to do at work – a line here and there. Surprisingly, I’ve connected with a couple of old friends and answered some of those MOL questions that were plaguing me.
