Me and my son did the early morning grocery shopping for this week, including food for Thanksgiving. I watched some shows on NHK then took a nap while the kids watched Zootopia. I took it easy today and purchased another fake plant for my home office. It looks good. I really wish I could get real plants. But the cats will just kill it by eating it.

Took my son and his friends to Round One to play some games. We were there for four hours. Next time it will be for two hours. 4 hours is too much. Everyone was exhausted including me. Once I got home, I watched tv and took a nap. Later we watched Disney’s Hunted Mansion. I enjoyed it, it was a fun movie to watch.

 I’m in a rut. I don’t feel like I am making any progress on any of my tasks or projects. Just dragging my feet. Going to get some rest and get outside to clear my mind over the weekend.

Work from home. The kids have short days and are home earlier than normal.  I did little today at work. I got the basics done but that was about it. After work, we jumped on my bike and headed to the park looking for Pokémon. The kids were in the trailer while I rode around the park. It was fun but cold. They had blankets and instant heating pads to keep warm.

Later we watched TV and folded clothes. For dinner we eat soup. We read books before bed.

 Stayed working overtime in the office in a meeting. A lot was discussed but and had some ideas that I think will help resolve the issues we are having. I just need some time to put it together. The rest of the day I did some household duties, moved things around in the home office, and watched tv.

I tried Microsoft Loop to see if it would help my workflow but can’t find it useful to what I do. Tomorrow I am going to see if anyone on youtube uses it and how. It looks cool and I just don’t understand how to use it.

I headed to the office on this dark rainy morning. Work went well. I must have talked to the Director for 2 hours today. An agent on the team received a nice pay raise. He deserves it. All his metrics are to company expectations or higher in some areas. He just needed a little guidance to get there.

The training of the new guy is going well. I am having him install and configure his workstation to make it easier for him to do tickets quickly. When I started no one gave me this information. So, I am instructing him in all the tricks I know so he can be successful and less stressed when he starts. I think he will do good.

I got home and watched some tv and talked with the kids while my wife cooked for us. Before bed me and Tori played Uno. I won every game for the first time in many years.

 Me and my son went to the mall for our morning walk. It is raining but not bad. We hunted Pokémon with his new Pokémon Go Button. The old one I have, malfunctioned, and just buzzed until the battery died. I walked the whole mall, and I noticed a dark tan coat that I wanted. It was priced okay and wanted to go home to see if I could find a better price. After arriving home, I did some research and found the same style of coat for 99 dollars at Macy’s. So, we jumped back in the car and headed back. They didn’t have a size the fit me. It was either too big or small for me. I found another one that was make out of Cashmere for a little more. It was softer and had a nice cut. It also fitted me right. I bought it with a red scarf. It looks good and the red gives it a pop of colour. For a treat we went to Round One to check out some games.

After we arrived home from the second trip to the mall, I watched Seattle beat Washington Commanders. It was a fun game to watch.

 I took the kids with me for my early morning shopping at the grocery store. It was very windy and heavy rain. After getting food and fuel we headed home with the heat turned up. If we lose power the heater doesn’t work. I have propane indoor heaters incase if this happens. For the rest of the day, we stayed home and played games. I did manage to find a YouTube channel about productivity that really works for me. She uses the same tools I use and had really helpful tips. I spent time changing up my settings and using a lot of what she recommends. This should save time doing emails and scheduling. She also reminded me that you can create email templates. I used to do this for a previous job and forgot about it.
I also made an Excel spreadsheet for my yearly outlook. I need something to plan trips and major items. I am so focused on the weekly and daily tasks I don’t see my major goals and personal things I want to do.

 I worked from home today. The kids had the day off and were with me. I completed what needed to be done but I didn’t push myself to do more. Anything new was pushed to Monday. I played Mario Cart with my son and then cooked dinner for the family. It is stormy outside, so we didn’t venture outside. I had the temperature turned up in case the power went out. There are two bins in the Livingroom I could have cleared out, but I choose not to. I went to bed at my normal time.
