beansideI am very tired for absolutely no reason. Got to bed on time, slept reasonably well. Not quite sure why I'm yawning. I'm giving serious debate to my current schedule though. I don't technically need to get up at 5am. I do it because I like the hour of solitude. But goddamn, it's early. I'm thinking that now that I'm back on the 9am-5:30pm schedule, it might be better to get up at 6, or even 7. That would still give me a couple of hours, which would be nice. I don't know, I'll have to think on it. It just seems silly to be up this early, even for the peaceful time. Maybe I'll do some testing.
I'm back on a 9am-5:30pm schedule. I'm going to have to get used to it. I'm back with the trainer for my department, and so we're back on standard breaks an lunch. So long hour lunches and 20 minute breaks! Now I'm back to two 10 min breaks, and one 40 minute lunch. The downside is that we get dad up on my lunch break. We can still do it, though I only have about 20, maybe 25 minutes to eat by the time he's up and settled. I cannot put him back to bed on my break. It's possible that I could, but generally, it would take just a tiny bit too long. So he's stuck staying in the wheelchair until I get done work at 5:30. He's not thrilled about this. but he's going to have to suck it up.
In other news, I put in to refinance my car. My credit is still pretty shitty, but slowly improving, so I was able to get a few points taken off my interest. It only drops the payment by about $50, but for now, I'll take it. Hopefully, I get the final info today to sign.
Actual work is difficult for me at the moment. The trainee who joined 3weeks prior to me is taking her first week of supervised calls, so I'm just listening and watching her. It's absolute hell on my ADHD, and focusing has been very difficult. I've mostly been sitting there half-watching while stimming on my cell. Which is not ideal. I really hope my ADHD consult in 3 weeks is useful. I really could use the help in focusing.
Today, I have a short meeting related to the social media dept of the con I work for. Fortunately, it's justpoisontaster and I, so it should go quickly. We just need to knock out what advertising we need to do over the next 5-6weeks. The convention's not for over 6 months, so it's pretty minimal right now. Just reminding of registration.
Jess had a nasty migraine last night, so instead of being on our phones, we just talked after we went downstairs. It was nice. So much of our conversations these days revolve around Dad. When we can go out somewhere, we have that, but this weekend was so busy with errands that we didn't really have the quiet time. One sad thing we realized is that thanks to my schedule change, it's going to be hard to watch movies together on the computer. When I worked at IKEA and 911, I had days off during the week, so we could sit and watch things. But with Hopkins, I'm Mon-Fri. It's hard to watch on the weekends, because my sister is not good at sitting quietly. And it's hard to enjoy a movie when every five minutes she's showing us her social media and telling us about how the orange disaster has fucked up today.
It's another reason that Jess and I will be getting an apartment solo, and are considering moving a bit of a distance away. Once Dad is gone, we deserve some peace. I spend a decent amount of time looking at cities, and deciding where to move. I like Towson, but I'm not sure whether I want to stay in the same general area, or if we want to try somewhere else. I keep looking at various areas and trying to decide where would be good. I know it might not be anytime soon, but I want to be ready. I can live wherever the fuck I want with my job, so that gives me some choices.
Okay, time to grab another cup of coffee and try to wake up. Everyone have an amazing Tuesday!
