Worked my ass off this week. I mean, REALLY, worked my ass off.
Massive fibro flare state by Friday and super exhaustion, so I’m taking it easy on this three-day weekend. I’ll putter a bit, but the name of the game is sleep and rest.
That’s why this will be short.
I like the work and am getting almost a gamer-high from it. Weird, right? Not sure why, but I think it has to do with finishing things up on a tight timetable. It feels a lot like gaming and leveling up. I love billing out my time. It’s incredibly satisfying. Our company is having a virtual chess tournament for teams of four and it’s awful that the timing is so bad. I just can’t do it when I’m in such heaving learning phase at work. That, combined with it being 9 years since I last played, means I’ll have to do it next time. But how freaking cool is that???
I’m getting immense satisfaction from my work, which I like. It’s weird as I wouldn’t have thought this would 100% be my groove, but it really is hitting a great spot for me. I love the company culture and can feel myself settling in nicely.
Home life is good. I still need to clean and clean and organize and pack, but energy is in low supply after working an OT week. I’ll give myself a break today, then rally for the next two.
Spicy Ginger and I are doing great and I really need some adult time with him tonight. I just want to love and kiss on him.
The kids are surviving, so yay!
I hate this lingering winter weather and want it to GTFO. I’m tired so that’s the best I can express it for now. I’m tired of dry, scaly winter skin and the bite that hits when I go outside to see Spicy Ginger across the drive. I’d like mild temps, t-shirts and shorts and happy chickens.
Anyway, that’s it. I have nothing else to note for this week. I’m going to go curl up on the couch with my soft blanket and perhaps enjoy a silly movie of some sort.
