Today waa a nice day.

I charged my FitBit yesterday, I remember it. Somehow it died in the morning.

Hoping that was a fluke and doesn't happen again tomorrow. Just upset, it was off so I won't have a sleep or ready score for the next four days.

But on a plus, I was able to use the app in the phone to record my laps. It didn't have my actual steps, but it at least put me in a more normal range then just having nothing. I made sure to keep it as an underestimate.

Song that made me happy today doing my laps: AWOLNATION - Beds Are Burning


The time has come, to say fair's fair,
To pay the rent, to pay our share.
The time has come, a fact's a fact,
It belongs to them, let's give it back.

How can we dance when our earth is turnin'?
How do we sleep while our beds are burnin'?
How can we dance when our earth is turnin'?
How do we sleep while our beds are burnin'?

Today waa a nice day.

My FitBit behaved today, so I must have slept where I kept pushing the button or something, lol.

Work was ok, but constant.

Scared for the next few days, my boss is taking a very overdue long weekend through Monday.

I should be ok holding down the ship for him, I'm glad he's going!

Had a nice convo with my re-boss. Getting excited for next steps on a few things!

Then of course, on the biggest project, the one guy I need to just send his paperwork I thought got it, but of course was not. So he cost me hours today and I'm not done catching up. :sus:

Oh, the one girl shut the lights off on me twice even though I said hello the first time. Since I'm short, you can't see me behind file cabinets if you do go in for actual supplies. LOL

Ha, I regularly surprise people entering my office space because indeed I am hidden by the double-screen (plus the fact I come on site only one day a week) - and the motion activated light sensors also often fail to detect me so there's no ceiling light and they think they're entering an empty room, LOL.
 
8/1/2024:

Thank you again @Anek & I love that story @PetiteSheWolf! It really is fun being short, LOL. :happy:

Today was a nice day.

My boss started his vacation and I did alright today. I was able to get everything taken care of.

And then for the huge project I've been stressing on the past few weeks, I figured out to summarize everything I'm tracking by sizes like the President of the organization first wanted. Took me weeks to figure out how I could do it and make it flow so I never have to think about it again, but I did it!

Just have to finish a few rows, but so proud of myself. My greatest creation yet.

And then I got to make something useful on the fly for my re-boss and it only took a few minutes. :)

Friday was a nice day and this weekend has been nice.

Friday I had a great morning and then after lunch everything went off the rails, but I didn't drown.

A lot of annoying crap to deal with on Monday though. :sus:

Today was a good day.

Had a bottle of water on my seat and of course my husband didn't put the lid on right. So it leaked all over my blazer and workout clothes.

Took hours to dry, but at least was by the time I needed it.

My general case of the blahs carried with me, but then I was busy enough I couldn't think about that and got what I needed done.

Almost didn't take a break, but my one coworker pushed me, and I'm glad I went.

Of course, that is now leading to more projects...I like projects, but seemingly impossible deadlines and I don't have the tools.

On a plus, our president gave me some props where I went above & beyond, so that was a boost.

Now of course, I have a shit ton of crap emails I couldn't keep up with today waiting for me in the morning. lol

Also, Miyagi has been really happy to see me lately. Much better summer this year than compared to last year with him. I even stole a cuddle today and had a solid minute before he realized what was happening and shook me off. :happy:

Today was a good day...in spite of itself.

No relief in sight for a long while, but the brighter days are surely ahead in the distant future.


Need to quote all the lyrics, but it's a seven minute song, lol.

And because I had to say distant future, now I have the NOT so distant future segue in my head, and both these songs at least made me smile. LOL

Thank you @Maegaranthelas! Caught a little bit of a break today and after the first few hours was able to breathe and smile again at least.


Today was a good day.

It's been rainy and cooler the past few days. This caused Miyagi to choose to stay in all day while I went to work.

This is the first time with the new job where I am not down the street. I felt bad and was going to come back to let him out, but my husband talked me out of it. He was on the cameras all day looking depressed (when he wasn't napping, lol).

But he was fine when my husband got back, didn't run out immediately. So that is good to know I don't have to run home to free him.

Still have a lot to do and no chance to meet the first deadline, but hopefully I can catch a break and get the time I need to get all the files I need to create done.

Going to see Slipknot on Saturday.

A 25th anniversary concert where they are playing the original setlist from way back when I saw them before they were well known, before their self titled album was released. We were at one of the first Ozzfests and they were on the 2nd stage.

We just happened to go over there and these guys in masks came out and blew us away. Had to wait MONTHS for the album to drop and I was sold ever since. Matched my energy back then. LOL

Then Corey Taylor and all of his bands and iterations was my favorite artist for a very long time after. Then I was feeling E-Town Concrete when I fell back into that when I got an iPod when that was a thing. Then I found Avenged Sevenfold who pierces my heart now.

Memories.


You all stare, but you'll never see,
There's something inside me.
You all stare, but you'll never see,
There's something inside me.
You all stare, but you'll never see,
There's something inside me.
You all stare, but you'll never see,
There's something in you I despise!

Oops, I sure did mean @PetiteSheWolf in the other post. :happy:

Friday was a good day and this weekend has been nice.

Got confirmation on Friday that exactly what I have been hoping for is in the works for me coming up. Just have to wait things out a little longer, but that put me back in a better mindset. Very excite for what's ahead!

The Slipknot concert yesterday was a blast. Had very comfortable seats for all the warm up stuff. Was jumping around and singing at the top of my lungs for the main event, LOL.

A bit hungover today, but already starting to feel better at least.

Corey had his dreads and everything. :heart:

But then got another one for the list, so now only almost 2 of 6 done. :happy:

That's all good though, hope I can pick up speed, but a bunch of crap came my way at the end that I'll have to deal with tomorrow instead. *sigh*

I could breathe today, lol.

Some things are starting to come together nicely.

Finally getting to step up on two other areas. I think some people around me might not appreciate it, but I'm excited and hopefully I do some good.

Still have many hills to climb, but can't wait to look back in a year or two and see how far I've come. :)

Today was a good day.

Upbeat in spite of the chaos once it was afternoon.

Then I had to stay late, but better than saving it for tomorrow.

Thursday is the best day if it were to happen, so I didn't bug.

This week went fast!

Oh, I forgot this morning I finally touched down to 115.0 lbs (52kg)! This is where I turn down my goal weight 10 more.

I don't reasonably expect to get another 10 off, but I am so amazed I haven't plateued yet, so wherever that ends up being, I already beat what I thought I would ever achieve by 20 lbs.

:hop:

And then for whatever reason, that had this in my head today. LOL (You're The Best Around from The Karate Kid movie)

Friday was a nice day and this weekend has been nice.

Have three reports left that have to be done next week, but getting no time to work on it.

Starting to get stressed, already have crap that will pull be away from that lined up next week.

Still was a pleasant day in spite of this.

This weekend went out to a nice Brazilian barbecue place. Was a little overwhelming though, they bring you meat to your table and you have no time to eat what is already on your plate and they just keep coming even though you have the red, "No Thanks" coasters turned up on your table.

Was tasty at least! :happy:

Today was a nice day.

Started alright and I got what I wanted to done before leaving.

Miyagi wanted to hang out with me and play though, but I had to go to work so it was hard to deny him.

Granted he could want to play while I am home like right now, but he never does. LOL

Work I made some good progress on the one report I've been doing over 4 days. I only have one person left...then just two more other reports to go.

Was happy I got out for lunch. Had a threat of a storm and in spite of some dark clouds on my 2nd lap, I made it before the rain. So that is a win.

Then I had a dermatologist appointment and it was late enough I didn't need to stress on time for being late. Got to have dinner first.

Song That Made Me Happy Today: Well there were a few, but we'll go with this one.

Bad Religion - Ephiphany


What's right is wrong, what's come has gone.
What's clear and pure is not so sure.

All promises become a lie.
All thats benign corrupts in time,

Of epiphany.

Today was a nice day.

Doing pretty good this year. Today or tomorrow would have been my mom's 70'th birthday (lost her in '98), and a lot of good things happened so I didn't get lost in my normal 'what could have beens'.

I finished all of my deadline reports! Yesterday, I really thought it was going to drag into the weekend. So I technically finished six days early. :happy:

Then I had a very impromptu last minute lunch date that made my day. :lovely:

I got told I get to crash the boys' meeting next week. I have no details for it other than the afternoon, but my boss got me permission to listen to his presentation.

Then I had to start playing catch up on other things and normal other problems happened, but with the deadline thing down, I can 'whatever' it a little bit. And the day went fast.

Then I made Honey Miso Donburi for dinner and it was delish.

And then had some good songs come in the mix today. Including Avenged Sevenfold - The Stage.

And I listened three times in a row even though it's almost a 9 minute song. LOL


Who is the crowd that peers through the cage.
As we perform here upon the stage?
Tell me a lie in a beautiful way.
I believe in answers just not today.

Today was a nice day.

It's been chilly so Miyagi came in before I went to work and was in bed when I left. I planned to come home to let him out. Then it was still chilly on lunch so I didn't want to wake him to go be cold so I did my laps.

I felt bad, but he didn't start making camera appearance until after 2pm so I think he slept the whole time. He took his time to go out when my hubby did get home, so I'm glad he wasn't feeling trapped.

Yesterday I was so happy to be done with the deadline projects, but when I came in, I had to redo the last one. First was told to consolidate things and then was told to undo that.

So that took over 4 hours...the only annoying part of that was to undo caps lock from reports I'm using to build them, on three other reports I made , I manually typed all the customers out already those three times. Then I was told I should consolidate those.

That was before this one. So now I had to type it out a fourth time when I would have had it available to copy & paste if the other ones did not get consolidated.

Luckily I love to type. Like for real.

One of my all time favorite video games ever was The Typing of the Dead on Sega Dreamcast. It was the same game as the shooter House of the Dead, except you killed the zombies by typing words above their heads. Then when you beat it, you can type the names of the people in the credits and earn bonus zombies dancing like they were in Michael Jackson's thriller video.

And I'm not even a zombie enthusiast. LOL

But because of that, I'm still behind on catching up on my tracking report.

But I got to have a lesson about scheduling which was REALLY interesting and it showed me something unrelated about one of the things that is bothering me on the tracking thing, so I can better ask for what I need now. :LOL:

I like listening to people that know what they are talking about and are enthusiastic with it. Plus it's another piece of the puzzle and I really like that person's perspective. :)

Then I found out I wasn't even supposed to be in that lesson, but why was I tagged in the email from my re-boss asking the other guy for it...I did kind of go around and added myself with that other person, lol...maybe that was an some sort of test...

Then right before I went to it I got really overwhelmed cause things for what I'm really am supposed to be doing started pouring in, but I went anyway. :happy:

But after, it all worked out. Of course I am even further behind for tomorrow, but spirits were/are good again at least.

So in honor of today, we'll go with this song that popped on my ride home. Avatar - The Dirt I'm Buried In

Today was a nice day.

Very pleasant, I smiled basically the whole time. Got a lot done too, so I don't feel like I'm drowning.

Only annoying to me thing was having to skip my bonus workout. The Abs Challenge is one that gets longer and longer at the end of the month, but I don't have extra minutes for it. But on a plus I did a 2:50 plank today and I remember when I was shaking and could barely get 30 seconds done.

Miyagi was going to cross the street, I called him, he came back in trilling, just wanted some pets and brushies and then went back out. No food involved, although I offered treats.

So he was happy to see me for that second and was a sweetie which made my day. The weather was gorgeous today too, so I'm glad he got to have the sunshine while we were at work.

One of the songs that made me happy on my lunch. Shinedown - Cut The Cord


Let me tell you, I'm vicious
Not pass-aggressive
I got my finger on my pulse
Staring straight into a hole and I'mma get it
And I'm a savage
It's automatic
I got a way of making noise
The power to destroy with no static

Now victory is all you need
So cultivate and plant the seed
Hold your breath and count to ten
Just count to ten

I'm gonna make it rain, so ring the bell
I know it all too well
Switchblade on the edge of your wrist
Can I get a witness? (Witness)

'Cause agony brings no reward
For one more hit and one last score
Don't be a casualty, cut the cord!

Thank you @Anek! :)

Friday was a nice day, more in the morning, but still nothing bad.

Have a hell of a battle early next week. I don't know how I'm going to make it all work.

So, I'm just going with, 'whatever, yo'. :loveu:

Today was a good day.

I planned to get up slightly earlier so I could make it in to work earlier.

I did not plan on having severe chest pains, so I got up at 3:30am as I couldn't go back to bed for the extra 20 minutes I was going for.

I knew it was nothing serious, it was just gas pains.

I got my good morning jog in, and some stretches done, but that was it.

I threw up twice, but it was mostly just my coffee.

So I did not get my morning workout done, but the pain moved from behind my ribs so I knew it was what I said above.

So I got in to work an hour earlier than normal, but that worked out well and I got a lot done.

I felt better by 8am.

Then I had a pretty great day!

And I got my jog in at the college in the sunshine.

Now tomorrow I get to go to an all day meeting I worked hard to help with. I'll probably cringe when I see what one person did to my files, but I'll grin and bear it.

And I get to meet people from a bunch of other locations so that's kind of cool. And it's another piece of the puzzle type of thing.

:)

Yesterday was a good day.

That meeting thing was really nice. I learned a lot.

Then I got to go get drunk with the sales boys (with dinner lol). That was fun.

Only bad part is I think the path I'm being lead to is going to be cut off from this stuff so I probably won't get to do it again. Technically my re-boss had no intention to invite me in the first place, my other boss got me invited for a part and I got that turned into the whole thing. lol & sigh.

Didn't get to do my jog and it was annoying to gain weight today. I knew it was going to happen, but it was worth it and I'll get back on track.
