A Little Better

Well, I slept a lot on Saturday, and Sunday I got some relaxation.  The meeting was really good Sunday morning.  A young brother whom I've known since he was a young boy gave his first public talk.  He did a great job.  The topic was on the difference between good jealousy and bad jealousy.  Andrew was really excited to hear the talk.  He thinks a lot of this young brother who has really been encouraging to Andrew.  He sets a good example for the young ones in our congregation. 

Then Sunday afternoon Thomas took the kids to Jim's, and they took two of the puppies, Regis and Ellie Mae.  Jim decided he liked the look of Ellie Mae and is keeping them both, so that lady he knows is out of luck. 

We'll miss them, but at least if Jim has them Eler Beth can see them whenever she visits.  He'll take good care of them, too.  I am happy with Scout, and Contessa (Little Bit) is perfect for Eler Beth.  I got pictures of them all and will try to get them on here soon.  Eler Beth went fossil hunting too while they were there and came back with some more really nice ones.  We're going to have to add a room to the house just to put her fossils!

While they were gone, I just relaxed.  I played with the remaining dogs, did some laundry and hung it on the line to dry, snacked, watched some TV and did some research on the computer.   Gave my brain and body both some down time.

Monday was my regular 10 hour day, and it was really hard to get through it.  It was interrupted a lot, too, which always makes it harder.  I had my quarterly one-on-one (performance review), which went very well.  And Debra gave me a couple of projects to work on which took some extra time out of my day, but I enjoyed it.  When I got home I actually got some housework done before I went to bed.

Tuesday was my other 10 hour day, and it went better, but when I got home I went straight to bed and right to sleep!  Today is usually my 4 hour day, but I went in earlier than usual, because we were having a floor-wide Food Day and a Run For The Blue Relay Race.   Our little bit to help celebrate Derby Week, you know.  I got up and fixed a double zucchini casserole to take in.  Then there was an accident on the interstate and I was in traffic for over half an hour.  My usual 23-30 minute drive took over an hour!  I still got there earlier than usual!  Anyway, the relay team I was on started out great.  I was the fourth man, and just as I was taking off with my tray full of FULL water glasses I heard someone yell, "No Lori!", and turned, thinking I was going the wrong way.  Every one of my glasses fell off!  Come to find out it was Debra yelling, "Go Lori!"  The funny thing was that there were teams that did worse than us!!!  I'm not sure what the final scores were; I know we are near the bottom, but we had a lot of fun. 

"A" is a fun place to work!  (We call our OCR Team "Debbie's Busy Bees")  And lunch was GREEAAATTT!  I was stuffed.  I barely ate any dinner tonight. 

I am working over a little tomorrow and Friday, but because Saturday is the Derby we aren't working.  That's okay because I need the rest.  Next week and the week after will be a lot of overtime to get the inventory volumes down before Memorial Day weekend. 

Well, I think I've caught up, so I'm going to bed now.  I'm up later than I should be, but Debra gave me another project to work on, so I've been at the computer putting it together.  More tomorrow....
