I worked from home on Friday. I didn't have that much to do, and it is a very long drive to the office Monday through Friday - so when offered the opportunity to work from home and save gas, I jumped on it. Sorta. Staying home to work is difficult for me. But, I kept up on emails and things I needed to get done. And I was able to have lunch with a granddaughter. And go for a massage later in the day. And worked on cleaning out the desk in the alcove. I think the room looks worse now, but I still have two drawers to go through in the desk. Then the youngest son is taking it.
My plan is to get another desk - and I had found one at Costco for $250 but it is now gone. I was looking at Staples the other night, and saw they had one I liked for about $300. I would have to measure it to be sure it would fit. I am thinking I want it in my back room - but if it is already put together, it can't get through the door due to how the furnace is right there. So it would also have to go into the alcove.
I really don't NEED a desk - never used the little one that I had (which had been hubby's 40 years ago - hey it's an antique!) but it was too small to do much with it. Back when it was created I don't think computers, printers, etc. was even created! Just need space for the computer now as we purchased a wireless printer some time back. I don't think I would use it if it gets put in the alcove.... just saying.
Saturday was a fun day and I was up early to go donate blood. God is so cool. They tested my blood on my left hand (to check for iron) and it came up 11.7. It has to be at least 12.5 or I can't donate. So the lady told me they can try again with the right hand - so I just said, "God, if you want me to donate blood today, you are going to have to get my iron level up." It came up to 12.9. Figure that one out. I have low iron in my left hand and high iron in my right. LOL Score one for God!
After donating blood I met up with my middle child for lunch and enjoyed spending time with him and catching up on things. Great soup and salad for lunch too!
Then later in the evening, we got another special treat! Our granddaughter text'd that she and family were in town and wanted to stop by for a little while. Of course I got in trouble with hubby because I didn't ask him first - I just said YES!! Like he would dare tell me NO on seeing my granddaughter and great-granddaughter - oh, and the grandson-in-law. :-) I think he was still upset with me because I TOLD him we were going to get another granddaughter a couple weekends in June while the youngest son is out of state. It isn't going to hurt him in the least - he is just a grumpy old man! ANY time I get to spend time with a grandchild, I'll find a way!
I can't believe how fast our little great-granddaughter is growing! She didn't know us so wouldn't have much to do with us. She was fascinated with the buttons on the VCR/DVD player and kept trying to turn it on, and mommy kept moving her hands away. My granddaughter did get a couple photos with us playing with the baby and sent to us. I miss the days when the grandchildren would run to me with arms open wide. They are much too old for that now - but I still get hugs! Treasured hugs.
I made meatloaf yesterday - something I haven't done in years. Wasn't too bad. I also made a spaghetti dish - it was pretty good too! Put some in the freezer and brought in for lunch today. I'm to fix a casserole for a group on Sunday after church - I'm going to my daughter's for Easter lunch - but I did tell them I would fix a casserole. I'm going to give them an option - garbage - or this new spaghetti dish I made yesterday (made fresh, of course, but I had to try it before I could make and give away). Wish I had more time to bake and make things. Some day......
And now I need to get back to work. Boss had a doctor's appointment this morning so isn't in yet. Other boss is in the Azores. And it is another Monday and back to work.
Blessings!
