Work was fine today. Nothing really new. This weekend I plan to declutter more and finish putting all the summer stuff away and prepare the house for winter. I need to sit down and brainstorm some ideas for the house and work.

Spent the entire day clearing out the garage of unwanted stuff. Filled up the car and the garbage can. I must go through all the camping gear still. The pool is ready to disassemble for the winner. Tomorrow I will need to finish up. I’m just too tired right now.

Hectic day at work. A lot of catch up from the previous days. The group as a whole is doing great. Especially for missing people due to sickness or personal days off. After school, I took the kids to the arcade to play for a bit. Our game is Minecraft. Collecting cards and leveling up.

Drove to work in rain. This is the first good rain we have had since the start of summer. I had to be cautious of all the oil it pulls up from the road. Work was hectic, I needed to catch up from Friday. I finished the day at home organizing my camping stuff.

Crazy day at work. I had to manage two teams and had three techs sick. Managing and tracking everything took a lot out of me. I went for a morning swim doing my break. It helped quite a bit.
After work I dove back into the refreshing pool to start the weekend right. It’s an absolutely beautiful day to be out.
Tonight, I am planning to stay up next to the fire to read Tales of the South Pacific and write my thoughts in my paper journal.

Work hosted a vaccination clinic in the office. I got my Covid and Flu shoot at the same time. It was very convenient. Started automating my job. I’m still learning to use Microsoft Power Automate. Hopefully, I can get it to pull my reports.

I had a good day at work. My reorganization of time on Thursday made my Monday much easier. I need to start automating my job. I have 5 reports I have to pull three times a day. Automating it will save me quite a bit of time.

Looking forward to the 3-day weekend. Nothing planned but I am excited to start traveling around the state without the crowds next week and beyond. For some reason after Labor Day most people stay home. Camping sites availability becomes open and drive times lessen. Next week I want drive to coastal towns just to visit.
At work I am changing the way I take vacations. My plan is to not take small three day breaks anymore. I am going to just collect PTO and take weeklong breaks. I should be able to take 2 weeks worth of vacation a year. I am going to try to take a whole week off for the holidays in December this year.

Meetings, meetings, meetings. Spent the day talking to people. Moving away from how things are set up by upper management and making changes that make sense by the people that perform the work. I am ending multi-tasking and going back to focused work.
🌧️ 71°F – 56°F 🥱 | Seattle
I drove to the office and had to return home due to the sitter having covid. I worked from home and handled my meetings online. A lot of changes, mostly good that I will need to figure out how to implement.
