Feeling weird today. I feel sick but I am not. Just dragged my feet for most of the day. I did do all the laundry, but work was a struggle. I should have jumped into the cold pool this morning to wake me up and get going. I am in the process of changing on how I do things at work. After doing this job over a month, I need to reorganize and remove any notes in OneNote that are not needed. Going to sit down and just write down what I need and how to organize them tomorrow morning. The information needs to be easily accessible. I also need to do time blocking on the calendar since I know all my duties I need to do for work.

I am re-incorporating my Surface Go to my work at home and in the office. It’s been with me since 2018. It was the cheapest model they had and used it like a second display that I can grab and use around the house when I worked at home at my previous job. It is also what I bring traveling. It is all I need. With my new position, I am using it to show chat with my team members and monitoring phone system. If I want to take a break from work and run on the treadmill or do laundry, I can monitor it around the house without disconnecting my Surface Pro from my desk. Saves time and effort. At my desk I use Microsoft Mouse without Boarders to use the same Bluetooth mouse and keyboard that is connected to the Surface Pro. It makes everything fluid.

Going to have this same setup in the office. If I have to go to a meeting, I can just grab my Surface Go and take notes with my pen in OneNote.

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.

I went food shopping this morning for the week. Once home I started to clear out the laundry room. While watching the Seahawks game I organized all the items. I watched TV and went swimming for the rest of the day.

 Went to the mall with the kids for fun. Got candy and fresh pretzels. We walked around the mall and talked. Afterwards we got haircuts then went swimming when we got home. We watched Elemental and had a fire before bed.

I had a nice relaxing day. Tomorrow will be busy for me. There are a lot of things I need to do outside the house to get ready for Autumn.

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 went well enough. Had an issue with a tech, he just kept messing up and made multiple situations worse. He is a nice guy but has been making a lot of mistakes for the past 2.5 years. Once work was over, I enjoyed this beautiful day outside.

 I got my Flu shot and was not feeling well at the end of the day. This is typical, I should feel better tomorrow. I would rather feel crummy for a day than being sick for a week. If I do catch the flu after the shot, it only lasts a day for me. So well worth it.
