Where did the weekend go?

This weekend was my first two day weekend in awhile. I haven't worked a five day week since two weeks before Memorial Day week. Geez...that makes me sound quite spoiled, doesn't it?  I think I'm just making up for three and a half months without a day off! :)

This weekend was pretty uneventful. To quote a friend, I was "laid up sorry" for most of the weekend!  I did attempt to dig up the roots of half of an overgrown shrub by my front walk. I wasn't very successful.  I organized part of my garage, but stopped when the boxes were too heavy to life overhead. I did scrub my awful porcelain since that I hope to replace VERY soon. That has to count for something, right?

I wrote earlier about all the fun I had playing hooky from work on Monday. Well, work made me pay for enjoying a Monday entirely too much. I had to work for several hours today to get a few things done and try to get ahead on next week. I'm attending the memorial service for a coworker's husband that was killed in Afghanistan on Wednesday and will be out a good part of the day, so I need to get ahead wherever possible.

Staying focused during the work day is my goal for the week. It's far too easy to get distracted chatting about weekends and office gossip or letting other people's actions frustrate me. This week, I'm going to buckle down, put in my headphones and stay in my little "corner by the elevator". You'd think being by the elevator would be a bad thing, but strangely enough, the door doesn't open on my side. 

My half of a Melatonin is kicking in and it's about to storm. It's definitely time to sleep before Emma wakes up terrified by thunder.  Until next time...
