Currently...

I am

Checking in... because this is probably my last chance to post until the 20th (give or take). I work tomorrow and Friday until later in the evening, then Saturday is dedicated to getting laundry washed, the house cleaned up, and suitcases packed. We leave Sunday for vacation.

Trying to read... "tidy the f*ck up" by Messie Condo, to be followed by "nobody wants your sh*t."  Terrible titles, I know, but the decluttering advice is great and strikes a chord like no other book I've read.

I'm watching... well, it's really more background noise than anything, Expedition Unknown. It's one of my favorite shows, but to be honest, I don't even know what it's about tonight.

I'm loving... the great deals I've found on Amazon's Prime Days, but maybe not so much the money I've spent.

Tomorrow is what I'm thinking about... specifically, about work. My co-worker, Don, is off again and I have been assigned his one-on-one (we'll call him M). If you remember I had him for a week last month and it went fairly well, but M wasn't feeling well for 3 out of the 4 days I had him. He was very mild mannered until the last day. 

He is feeling fine these days and has been letting me know all week that he plans for he and I to spend the day in the shredding department. He is not allowed there, but if he gets in there isn't much you can do as he will use physical force to get what he wants. My plan is to catch him outside, before he ever gets in the building, herd him into a van and keep him out all day. 

Wish me luck. 

Cartoon "M"
It's pretty accurate!

My body has me feeling... every minute of my age. I woke up Tuesday with my hand swollen at the bottom joint of my thumb and moving it around proved painful. To my knowledge I didn't injure it. Just another case, I guess, of how I can now injure myself doing nothing. LOL  I already had a brace that stabilizes the thumb so I've been wearing that. Not sure it's actually helping, but at least it keeps me from moving the thumb around and feeling pain.

I'm definitely celebrating... my ability to avoid most of the current drama at work. Let's just say this vacation can't come soon enough.

I've been enjoying... letting my hair be curly. I'm finding it does pretty well with minimal interference from me. So much of the curly girl advice out there tells you to use a lot of product and do a lot of fussing. Nope. Not me. I throw some curl cream at it, scrunch and go.

I talked with the other woman who helps care for the older blind man I do. I am beyond grateful... to her for getting all his clothes packed for his upcoming trip to camp (he is gone the same time I am). I've been stressing over getting him ready and it's a HUGE help. I just have to get his meds and toiletries together and clean out the fridge. I can handle that.

Our weather... is not too bad, temperature-wise, but enough with the rain, already! It looks like the weather for vacation will be a bit cooler than usual with chances of thunderstorms every day. I hope not. A lot of beach time at the lake is part of the plan.
