when I have things to do in the mornings! I did do a little reading this morning, but I had an 8AM call with my boss and a 9AM with the hygienist at my dentist's office.... and guess where my mind was all morning - looking at the clock and determining what I needed to do. Just realized I have not written in here today - which may give you something to read in the morning, if not later today. But, I do have a women's conference I am going to tomorrow - which is all day - so I may not get to write in here either as I have that to get ready for. Will see.... When I have to 'dress up' and get makeup on, and do my hair (which takes the most time, trust me!), I tend to lag in the time zone. At least today I'm dressed enough to meet dinner with friends tonight, I put makeup on this morning, although the spray from the teeth cleaning may have wiped it all off. My hair - eh - I don't care. I'll just make sure it's in place. I'm a 'no frills' type of girl until I really need to look nice.
Well, the news is out about Brett leaving us on April 3rd. I found the notice from our division president really interesting. I mean, he didn't say anything wrong, but it was just 'out there' - very impersonal and with knowing the personality of both men, it seemed a notice of "Fine, Here it is, He's going to another company. Good luck." Distant and cold. Sue said she didn't see it that way, but understood what I was saying. One of his senior directors is having me send a meeting invite for April 2nd for us (including me) to meet in Mesa to tell him 'goodbye'. I suppose I ought to go - will be the last time I ever see him. Sue lets me charge mileage so I just might go. Unfortunately, I can only charge mileage from the main office and not from home - but oh well. $20 is $20 for gas - right? I paid $4.69 at Fry's yesterday - about killed me! I didn't have any 'rewards points' as I haven't bought groceries in awhile. Guess I need to do that.
I had a nice time alone last night while hubby was meeting with his friend for bible study. I had a couple errands I needed to do and I got them done. Gas, check. Macy's, check. Car Wash, check. One Nutrition (for my SF Butterfinger Shake), check. Home. Check. It was a nice quiet evening. As mentioned above, meeting RV park friends tonight for dinner at Cheddars.... then over to their place to play games. It will be a fun evening.
Tomorrow I have the all day AZ Women's Conference I am going to. I signed up also for the leadership lunch - not sure what that would entail, but I figured it would be one way for me to meet other women who are in leadership. Although I am definitely not in leadership at this time. Do I want to be? Depends on what it is for - but yes, I would like to be a part of a group that meets weekly or every other week or whatever - just to belong. Does that make sense? I feel so much of the time my life is workout, desk work, feed hubby. That's my life. And it's boring. Don't know what can change with retiring, but I think if I even took a couple months off work I could come back refreshed and renewed - does that make sense? Maybe I could take FMLA and still keep my job. I wonder if I could...... and if I chose not to go back to work where I am now, not a biggie, right? Something I may think about - a short sabbatical, perhaps? But do I really want to go back to this type of stress work. And, do I really want to give up my pay check. Things I will have to process through.
I just ate the last two white castles from my last batch that was in the freezer. Yeah, I hear my stomach talking to me. They have been in the refrigerator a couple days, thawing out. Sure hope they were still ok. So far so good. :-)
Don't have much to write about and as it is in the middle of the day, I do have work to do - sorta. Anyway - I'm off here; thought I'd update my thoughts. Hope the rest of your day goes well.
Blessings!
