So Monday was really long; 2 hours on the bus, a little downtime, then 9 hours of work. That is a lot of time on my feet. Feet did pretty well though, I wore my FILA work shoes and they were up for the job. I certainly plan to spend as much time as possible off my feet today, though.
Work was OK I got kind of depressed. One of my coworkers, a man, had a stoke some time ago and his right hand is identical to Ron's, kind of floppy I guess. It always strikes me when I see it. This guy is also caregiving for someone with dementia so we talk a little. But it still hits me when I see his hand.
I know Ron is in his perfect body now, though.
Not only that I saw 2 men in wheelchairs, and, later, a blind man with a white cane so not surprising I got a little depressed. But my job does involve contact with other people so I was OK.
It was surprisingly busy tonight almost as bad as yesterday. The little tax prep office was very busy. Speaking of taxes I should get something back, not sure how much but something. That will be nice when it comes. I need to sit down and figure out how I will allocate it. I would like to put some in savings, some to credit card. Get myself something, not sure what. I will figure it out.
When I get paid I do know I am putting an extra $20 on my bus card I have been using the bus a lot. And it worked fine getting to work this morning, in fact, I could have left later. My cab driver buddy was happy to get me after work. In fact he got me in his personal vehicle. That is fine I pay him a flat rate so we don't need to run the meter.
So I came home, pretty beat. I had hoped I could get some things done when I got home but no energy for it. I called my parents, had a small package of cheese and crackers, took my medication, and went to bed. I fell asleep pretty easily, but woke up at 1 with a bad headache. I took some Excedrin, fell back asleep for a little bit, woke up again about an hour later. I still had the headache and I couldn't sleep from the caffeine. I went ahead and got up.
I made a list of things I need to do: laundry, dishes, cooking, do up pills, get quotes on the fence. Oh, Spotty just farted and it is evil...
I also need to assemble the cart Dad got me. Hopefully I can get all that done, relax, and get a nap even. I did not sleep as well as I would have hoped but have not been sleeping great lately, waking up a lot in the middle of the night.
I weighed myself and still about 210 so that is OK. Not gaining at any rate. I had to figure out eating without getting a lot of processed crap at work and think I did OK with that. I do need to figure out dinners for Wednesday and Thursday nights. Saturday and Sunday I only work 4 hours each so not too worried about that. Worst case I may do a can of beans with some rice.
One thing I like is a can of Garbanzos mixed up with a can of kidney beans. It is very tasty. I guess you could call it 2 bean salad. It is also cheap and nutritious. I am all for that.
I am going to try to get some more sleep. More later.
