4 Days into the New Job
Son of a gun! It helps when one actually remembers to hit “publish” instead of leaving a post in drafts!
I am out of spoons. I spent the day trying to figure out the system at work and my brain is short circuited.
I love my job, but I’m going to bed. I need a hard reset before Friday.
Take your meds, folks!

I still have to make the protection charm for baby Alice, as well as finish her blanket. Nothing like the last minute, eh?

1.5 Burgers Eaten
I absolutely couldn’t figure out what I wanted to watch while waiting for Fen to get home. So I surfed the various streaming apps and remembered that Disney+ has The Emperor’s New Groove in its catalogue. So that’s what I put on.

I went to bed over an hour ago. I’m still not asleep. I know I’m tired. I even took meds to sleep. My arm is a little sore from where they gave me my second Covid vaccine shot.

1 Road Trip to Take Tomorrow
Today was a bad day. For reasons I don’t want to talk about, I had a massive panic attack at work today. Like, dry heaving into the wastebasket, crying uncontrollably, unable to breathe for way too long panic attack.

2 Reading Challenges
1 Double Dose of Caffeine Pills
I often make the joke that I am more “ish” than I am Jewish. It’s literally true, at least according to Ancestry.com’s results.
Anyway, how does that relate to a reading challenge? I’ll explain: one of my goals for 2021 is to read fifty two books this year. That breaks down to one a week…ish. I have a tendency to read in fits. So, it’s the -ish Challenge. A book a week-ish.

6 Holiday Cards Prepared
2 Hours of System Outage
1 More Sleep Till Friday
I got the cutest pack of holiday cards from Linna before they moved up north. It has a stocking on one set and an adorable dressed up otter on the other set. I quite liked filling out cards, even though they won’t likely be there in time for Christmas. Maybe New Year’s?

1 Sit Through of The Empire Strikes Back
We, as stated above, watched The Empire Strikes Back this evening. It was fun, if distracting to my attempts to write. But I was too frazzled from work to focus.

We watched The Fellowship of the Ring tonight. It was nice but made me laugh because the Enya song in the closing credits totally made me more tired.

1 Successful Experiment
So I made kielbasa with peppers and onion tonight. As an experiment, I deglazed the pan with a splash of the 19 Crimes red wine we have left over from spaghetti night last weekend. It came out pretty good!
