Back once again
Sep. 13th, 2026 02:25 pmTaking the early part of last week off both from the Day Job and online stuff was an excellent decision, as I was able to get a lot of personal stuff done, work on the trilogy remaster, catch up on much-needed sleep, and go outside and have fun! And with the weather being warm to somewhat hot (this is right about the time for SF's brief summer weather season), we indeed had a lot of fun.
But alas, the mini-vacation came to a close for me (A had the entire week off, and she goes back to work tomorrow) and I had to head back to work. I also have a full forty-hour week ahead, so I'm assuming I'm filling in for a few other people's days off, and that a few of our younger employees have a new school semester ahead of them. Fine by me, because I appreciate that they often split my week up. They usually do three in a row, a day off, then the Friday-Saturday opens, which gives me a midweek reprieve. I've also noticed they haven't been giving me that many late midshifts. A few here and there, but for the most part I'm very rarely the chosen Front End Manager.
But yes, this also means that I'm going to get back on my blogging schedule once more, and perhaps finally start up better art and journaling habits again. I've moved a lot of things around on my desk and its surroundings -- because putting things front and center really isn't panning out as a reminder to do them if I'm not making an effort in the first place -- and made other things a bit more easily accessible in order to make good on it all. I've been doing my best to get the daily words down earlier in the day as well, because all too often I end up shoehorning them in at the end of the day and eating up time I could better use with the writing/revision sessions.
That's not to say that's the only vacation I have left! I'm pretty sure the bosses have already confirmed my week off in early November (a full week using up the last of my paid vacation time). We don't have anything big planned but I'm sure we'll come up with a few ideas for day trips and whatnot. And it works out well because it'll give me a brief respite before the holiday season kicks in at work!
Now, if I can find the time to get a few health check-ups... nothing bad, just want to take care of them for various reasons before the next round of open enrollment starts at work. The Day Job does have its own medical reimbursement account that I'd like to sign up for, considering I'm working down the one I had left over from Previous Day Job (which I've been using for dental reasons), and I've finally realized how much they come in handy! While I'm at it, I should probably get a vision checkup as well, considering it's been a few years. Oh, and I still need to find time to do the dental deep clean (so involved that I'll need two sessions), though that might be tricky.
Anyway! It's early afternoon here and I'm already headlong into my usual Sunday errands of laundry, plant watering, PC cleaning and so on. A fresh start all around!
Hope everyone has a good week ahead!
