I think I'm still trying to recoup from being off work a few days. Of course the weather isn't helping any as my sinus/head is pounding this morning and I feel exhausted. Yesterday WAS a busy day, for sure with all the meetings I had to scheduled. And I didn't get them done and have more today already. My bosses are upper level management. And they want me to find an HOUR for their meetings? Almost impossible most days.
So grateful. I was to attend a 4 hour meeting this morning - but it's about budget for 2021 so I asked if I had to attend and was told to only call in the last half hour. I'm still thinking if I will do that as the last presentation runs over the end time of the meeting. I get nothing else done while I'm in these meetings and I still have so much to get done.
I didn't take Sheeba for a walk this morning. I'm thinking I will wait until this weekend and then take her out for long walk. When I wait until it gets light enough to walk, I then have to hurry to get back home to start work at 7AM. I've thought about changing my hours to start at 7:30AM, but then it messes up the rest of my day. Actually I probably could start then and no one would notice cause they don't start until 7:30AM - and 95% of the time I work through the lunch hour and am online after my 4PM cutoff so they more than get enough of my time. But I have enough work to fill it as well. I'm grateful I'm not monitored on my time since I'm salaried.
We did go out to dinner last night with the daughter and son-in-law. He worked on our house all weekend again while we were gone, doing a lot of touch-ups and installing a new HUGE refrigerator for us. He moved the old one into the laundry room, but I'm thinking it won't work cause I can't get the door all the way open. So - will see who needs a refrigerator and I'm thinking of getting a small apartment size one (not as small as I had before) to keep water, etc. in. Will discuss it with them today when they stop by.
Hubby asked me if I wanted to drive last night, but I let him. Thinking about it this morning, I wonder if he is going to let me start driving more when we go out together. Funny thing is he constantly criticizes my driving. How fast am I going? I wait too long to slow down for a light (I just don't want to stop in the middle of the block when there is lots of space in front of me), I take a turn too fast, you name it, I do it wrong. I often remind him I have been driving for a number of years and I think that I can drive.
His driving. As I mentioned yesterday, I feel he is getting less focused. He will watch what is going on around him versus the road ahead and I often have to remind him to keep his eyes on the road, not on the signs on the side of the road or how much gas is at that station or what the temperature shows on that sign. Not that I'm perfect by any means. I can easily get distracted too. But not the way he does, for sure. We have talked previously about his not driving .... which went over like a lead balloon. With working I cannot drive him places and he won't let me retire. I suppose I could just 'up and retire' on my own, but I can't live with him 24/7 and keep my sanity either. At least with working I can interact with other people even via computer.
I know that when the topic arrives that he needs to give up his keys, I will get the scream that "I may as well die for you are taking my independence away from me" talk. We've had that before when I asked for the checkbook back. I threw it at him years ago when he refused to work to help financially. Now he won't give it back - if he does, he may as well die. Whatever.
Ok - I have a meeting I DO need to call in for - and several meetings to schedule. At least this is a 'short' week. Now to find something to take for my head - it still hurts.
It's going to be a good day - at least I'll try my best to get there!
