I am freezing in the office today - I don't know what the temperature is (I know it is HOT outside!!) but it is cold. My nose keeps dripping - and I want to take a nap. When I get cold, my body shuts down and I want to go to sleep. Drinking a "Bang" which is like an energy drink but has no calories, no sugar - but is loaded with caffeine. I'm hoping it will kick in so that I can shake off this sleepiness.
I learned something new yesterday. We have what is called Microsoft Teams on our computers. I have avoided it like the plague because I do not like learning new things that I will rarely use. and other reasons. But - my boss insisted that I use it to create a location to put notes from meetings. I grumbled a bit - and then she showed me how. It didn't seem quite as intimidating as it did at first. I should take advantage of some time I have today (both bosses are out today) and learn more about it - but I don't want to. But I did create a 'Team' yesterday and added some documents to it. I do need to add some more things - and I may - or may not get around to it today.
Things are very quiet here at work today. Most people work from home on Fridays and one of my bosses is still on vacation - an Alaskan cruise - and the other went to our Phoenix corporate office for meetings today. So here I am in my corner all by myself. I like it quiet so no problem there. I even took time to unravel a ball of yarn that our new puppy totally destroyed.
Our new puppy. Our new puppy's name is 'Sheeba'. For some reason hubby wanted to name her that and I just said 'whatever'. We should have called her Marley for more often than not, that is what we call her. She got the rest of her shots last week so now I can take her for a walk. It's been too hot in the evenings to do it yet, but hope to be able to get out early tomorrow morning and take her at least around the block. We checked in at Petco for dog training classes. Interesting. The person we spoke with about it - well, I was irritated at hubby so wasn't in a good mood and I just didn't involve myself in the conversation so it was hubby spoke to the person about it - anyway, six sessions - or 12 sessions - and she gave the price. Not bad, really. Considering what they would do. She clearly explained that SHE doesn't do the training. She will SHOW us how to do something (sit, for example)with Sheeba and then we are to do it ourselves. Understandable. Her conversation was nearly every sentence punctuated with "well, basically....." . I rolled my eyes. Basically. I told hubby that if that is all it is, then he can get on the ball and do it himself. :-) Our granddaughter had originally taken her dog to someone to be trained as a service dog before Lotus had to have hip surgery .... and has offered to do the basics with Sheeba. I think we will ask her to do six weeks of 'training' with us and Sheeba - and pay her to help us. It will help her too as once school starts she won't have a job as she will be student teaching and she won't get paid to do that. So, hubby was going to talk with her about it. Heaven forbid that I should take the opportunity to talk to her about it first.... just saying.
Life at home has been difficult. Hubby gets bored because he doesn't have anyone (but Sheeba now) to talk with - except on his Monday evenings and Friday mornings he meets with his men friends. So when I come home he is cranky and critical. I get so tired of it all. Some evenings I just totally withdraw mentally just to avoid it. He hasn't held up his end of his agreement when he chose to 'retire'. When I talk of retiring, he goes ballistic on me. I don't want to be home with that so why retire. At least I can get out of the house. Other than all the time I spend on the road to and from work, I somewhat enjoy my job. I like the people I work with. And I can work from home on occasion. The pay is good. I'll keep working as long as I can.
So glad it's Friday today. I want to work in my back room and in the closets this weekend and get rid of things. I'm in a clear out mood. It's hard to do when hubby is home. But I really need to get it done. Plus I have a lot of sewing to get done for Christmas gifts and repairs.
Guess that's all for today. Hope your day is going well.
Blessings!
