[grenade]

[Orema]

High - an unexpected visitor

Low - the same visitor

Sometimes you win some and lose some all in the same handshake.

[Gemme]

The day's barely started and I can already attest to how it's going to go.

High: I made myself work out even though it's raining buckets outside and I was snuggly warm in bed and I didn't want to go. I even kicked a little ass and maybe even liked it.

Low: I have to work in the rain. It's a short shift but by the time I get in, I'm going to be soaked to the bone and probably have pruney feet. It's not too low on the scale though, as I have movies and a hot shower waiting for me when I'm done. There might even be meat in my meal tonight.

I am so very glad you are, Jo!

[Kätzchen]

Highlight: The rain has moved on, I can see blue skies.

Lowlight: The 4th season of The Vikings won't be aired for another three months. I miss catching up on what Ragnar's been up to. February can't come soon enough.

Highlight: I :stillheart: November.

[Bèsame*]

Getting up early due to the clock change, catching up with work after vacation, and leaving the back door open to hear the rain.

Tomorrow the cats get to come home. I've missed them 🐈🐾🐈🐾

[Bèsame*]

watching chopped, Thanksgiving episodes. Amazing what they are coming up with.

Working on a "love" quilt. A wedding gift for my two sweet friends who are getting married. They named it, their very last wedding! The others were practice...lol

[grenade]

High: I had a very productive work day with very little stress. (Rare)

Low: One of my meetings was addressing a client being let go from his job. He took it well but I don't think he understood completely. 😞

[grenade]

High: I had a great first meeting with my new boss.

Low: feeling melancholy.

[starryeyes]

I'm so overwhelmed at work. I have so many projects and no end in sight. I wish our vacations were sooner, but I'll hang in there for now.....

Good news is the projects are being completed with success! We had a Pride fundraiser last weekend and raised $600 for interpreting services, yay! I am coordinating 50 interpreters for comic con international and that is coming together smoothly, and my staff performance evaluations are nearing completion and I successfully completed a pretty big audit for one of our biggest contracts.

My cup is half full! :-D

[Orema]

Highlight: Wrapping up a project that came with a crazy deadline. Thank goodness it was a small and easy-to-do job.

Low point: Hearing that a friend has a benign meningioma on left side of her brain and will need to have it removed in the next few days. So glad they expect her to recover fully—100%.

[Orema]

Highlight: Talking to Cousin Al on the phone. He's an all around good guy. Very fly, very reliable, and very stable. An old soul.... We grew up together. We went to different schools, but we saw each other a lot on the weekends. He's a couple years older than me and would be a chaperone and chauffeur for my friends and I when we were teenagers and wanted to go to concerts. My father was crazy strict, but he'd relax if I was with Al. There was a lot of drama with our parents and aunts and uncles but never among our generation. It will be nice seeing him and his wife in a couple weeks. We'll spend lots of time talking about retiring from our jobs. :bow:

Low point: The fires in California, especially the ones in North County San Diego.

[Kätzchen]

Highlight : my youngest son called me really early this morning, seemingly out of the blue, at 4:45 am. He was going to his second job, sounded really tired, but he's determined. I'm so proud of him. And it was so good to hear his voice.

Lowlight: drama at work. : (

Highlight: My boss. He is such a great person. He and his wife have nine kids: two of their own, seven of them adopted, all of them with Downs Syndrome. I feel super fortunate to have someone like him as an coworker.

[Kätzchen]

Lowlight: my attorney for SS-disability told me that the current administration moved the goal posts again and that I don’t qualify for disability (when I am disabled). So frustrating. Not surprising since we all know cruelty and meanness is the end-goal for the controlling political party. :(

Highlight: listening to songs by Neil Diamond. I’ve had a crush on him since I was 9. My first husband looked an awful lot like him, now that I think about it.

What sucks today...high heat advisory. Feel like temps, 110°. Calls for indoor hibernation.

What is gonna happen...working on finishing my Christmas rag quilts. Calls for relaxing and finding something good on Netflix/Prime. So far nothing, lol.

Something else that sucks....I can't sit longer than 45 min. My strained hamstring still bothers at my "sit down bone"..Really, that is the orthopedic doctor's words...lol

More good stuff...I get up and move. I have made tuna pasta salad ( next week lunches), potato salad (something cold and already made), chopped ingredients for tonight dinner and made oatmeal peanut butter balls (with raisins and cranberries, another something already made)

Next up after I sit for awhile, cut up a watermelon and change my bedding to all white. White makes me feel cooler..lol

If you have blistering heat, take it easy and hydrate!

Lowlight: The medicine I'm taking is giving me heartburn.

Highlight: The medicine I'm taking seems to be working and hopefully I will only have to take it for a few more days.
