It was a crazy busy day at work. I got an hour of OT today just trying to keep up.
As I sit here right now, I have ten minutes before our burrito casserole is done. I wish I could take a quick cat nap in these ten minutes but it's not possible. I'm calling it now --- tonight, I am going to bed at 10:00. So let it be said, so let it happen.
I have felt like a slug tonight. After fixing supper, taking the garbage can out to the curb, and feeding the Girls, I spent most of the evening on the couch. I don't feel sick - was just tired. I think the past months of being crazy busy at work has caught up with me. But I only have to deal with that for 204 more work days.
This has been a very trying Tuesday. I can't really say it's been all that of a bad day - just trying, and also tiresome. It's only 7:20 at night, but I'd like to go to bed right now and get a long sleep. If only I could.
I hope the first hour of my Monday doesn't set the tone for the rest of the day. I committed a cardinal sin here in our house: I forgot to fix the coffee last night before I went to bed.
Stay tuned for updates.
I went to the grocery this afternoon, and I would guess that I saw about 50% mask wearing. It was definitely more than my trip to the grocery store last week.
Note: I typed this post yesterday and thought I posted it but I didn't.
For some reason this week, I thought of something that my Grandmother always had in her purse. It was a short, little metal tube. I think originally, it was intended to hold some dimes in case you needed to use a pay phone (which also could be the topic of another Flashback Friday post). But instead, my Gram always had 3 or 4 Certs mints in it. It had a little ring with a clasp, so you could put your house key or car key on it, or clip it to your purse, which she did.
I was telling one of the SF's about this, and she said her Grandmother had one, too. Except she kept old school saccharin tablets in hers.
When Gram died and we went through her things, I would have given anything if we could have found that little metal thing; I would have kept it forever.
This is a big day in the history of my family. It is the anniversary of Grandma and Grandpa Puckett, aka Clara and Cliff (the Old Man's parents). And it is the birthday of my Sweet Mother.
And on this day, my boss is getting married. I hope this day will bring her blessings.
