Catch us working

I used to wish I could get my illness under control so I could finally run the business the way it deserved.  The last couple months, we've been doing that.  We may have about half the machines we used to service, but they are well managed. 

So, what does my work day look like these days?  I get up 2 hours before the pickup time.  I might hit the snooze button a time or two. 

Torbie cat is probably sleeping with me, but she gets up when the alarm sounds.  I get up, brush my teeth and hair, and take my shower. 

Since I use the Pantene Ultimate 10 shampoo/conditioner combo, the haircare aspect isn't bad.  I get out, dry off, deodorant, brush my hair again.  I let it air dry while I do my God Time. 

I hang out on the couch with Torbie and God, read my Bible, pray, takes a while.  I give Torbie a few treats as we progress. 

I get up and get dressed.  Today was cold so I wore my long undies under my jeans.  I was sure glad I did. 

Then I eat breakfast, something to hold the Wellbutrin, take the morning pills (mainly Wellbutrin and a multivitamin), and wait for our ride.  If I have time, I watch the morning news. 

You never know - could be a maniac running around with a taste for middle-aged, brunette, ponytailed women.  Generally I roll my eyes, wondering when God is coming back. 

Our ride comes.  Today we rode around for a bit and went to the warehouse.  We already knew we needed to get soda, so we did that.  That took about an hour and a half total with the trip, and waiting on the next ride. 

We finally got to work.  I left Ron and got the cart.  I loaded the soda on the cart and Ron and I put some of the drinks in the freezer (thank God we still have the freezer).  We stocked, I did what I could with snacks. 

The deliveryman came so I escorted him to our area and waited while he fixed the soda machine.  We got the drinks out of the freezer and stocked them. Some of those drinks were already sold when we left. 

We went out, waited a little bit for our ride.  Got a snack of the catering truck, and went home.  I tried to get a nap but it didn't work for various reasons.  Mainly Ron stole my baby, out of my bed, while we were napping! 

Ron had the temerity to rattle a bag of cat treats.  Shameful.  He's learned his lesson, though. 

Then I filed the accounting report and wrote an email.  Had a little fun.  Then I have to do more work related stuff, eat something at some point, and finish up my God Time. 

Tomorrow should be really interesting.  We need a LOT of soda, too much for one trip.  So, we'll be making a trip to the warehouse, going to work and stocking.  Running an errand I want, then going back to the warehouse.  Going back to work and stocking that soda. 

On the plus side, two shifts will see us working in our area.  It's always good, I think, for them to "catch" us working. 

I do try to stay busy when depressed, so that does it. 

I did get a little manic for a while last night so I hope I'm cycling out of it.  I was also able to do some education with someone today and refer them to my doctor. 

If nothing else, I'm glad I got up for that.
