Pat did ride 70 miles and he came home very tired, but very happy. He was really pleased by all the messages he received wishing him a happy birthday. I made sure he knew about each one. I got take-out from his favorite Mexican restaurant and we had a good meal and lots of fun talking. He also got more phone calls in the evening. It really was a ( Read more... )

The crazy man is celebrating by riding 70 miles on his bicycle. Silly man. Everyone knows you celebrate by eating cake and ice cream!

Work remains crazy busy, but I did get my report out only one day late. This week's report is already started, but was constantly interrupted by e-gift questions from donors.

In other news, well, I'm not boxing ( Read more... )

Yeah, boxing kicked my ass. Pat had gone for a long bike ride so he was in the same condition. We ate supper and then laid down and napped for oh.... two hours or so? Then I showered and we hustled to get ready for bed.

I do love a good nap.

Work is very busy. Lots and lots of e-gift card notices, and some time spent on my report. I went to the big ( Read more... )

Now, the question is just how much will it hurt? Because I haven't boxed since right before Christmas. I'm thinking it's going to hurt a lot.

Work did not kill me, but I also did not get through all the e-gift card emails. Good Lord, people write to me within hours of donating and want to know where is it?! Give me a break! It takes time! You'd ( Read more... )

Yep, it's going to be a full work week. I like those four day work weeks, but unfortunately I can't keep them up. (grin)

But there are things to look forward to this week. Pat's birthday is Thursday, and I have a boxing lesson tomorrow, and we have two parties this weekend! So yes, more socializing than we had over the holidays. (grin)

Hopefully I ( Read more... )

Pat and I had a quiet evening at home. He was actually napping when it got close to midnight and I woke him up so I could get a New Year's kiss.

We watched the college football semi-final championship games and they were both pretty much routs. UGH. It didn't make sense that they paired the number 1 team against the number 4 team. But then it ( Read more... )

I got up this morning full of plans about getting the laundry done and then taking a nap with Pat and watching football in the afternoon and evening, and saying fuck you and goodbye to 2021.

But as I was gathering the laundry I got a phone call from the donor room at the blood bank. They were desperately looking for people who could come in and ( Read more... )

Work is really busy, but I did get my report out. Now I'll frantically work on the next one. We've completely run out of physical gift cards that we send to the elderly or those in rural areas without internet access. I now have a list of those I will have to send out as soon as the new ones come in. The e-gift cards slowed down a bit yesterday, ( Read more... )

Wow, work was, as usual, busy as hell. Yes, gift cards. But I was able to solve problems and make people happy and get back to my report. I swear, I spend more time getting "back" to my report than I do working on it.

Came home and took a good nap with Pat which was lovely.

I don't have boxing this week, so I'll get to come home early and I will ( Read more... )

I had a nice, restful day. I spent time catching up on what friends have been doing, and then spent some time reading.

Pat and I watched some football and the game last night was just terrible. One team just running around and scoring at will. UGH.

But now I'm ready to head out to work my four days this week and then I will take off New Year's Eve ( Read more... )
