I managed to get up a little after 5 and do a few things before feeding the team.  I was surprised I was in such good spirits considering I went to bed fairly late.  I put the coffee on as I was getting ready for the day, took my daily meds.  The normal start  to the day in our house.

I was able to leave a little after 7 and made it to the gas station like I should have yesterday but luckily it was okay.  I got to the office by 7:30 and chatted with SR.  I found out some stuff “is coming down the pike as for as additional tasks.  I also admitted my regret about not working more.   She admitted it was her first day back to the office too. 

I set up for the day and chatted with some more of my coworkers who came in for the first time.  I found out MC’s mom has been quite ill.    I hope she will be okay, but unfortunately it will be a long road.  I made phone calls to IT and as of now they are working on it I believe.

I have the area committee meeting at 12 pm and I will have to find a place to sit and participate.  We have an Ally meeting with other unions tomorrow I think.  I don’t know…I just wrote up the notes in my Union file on the computer. 

It doesn’t look like I am going to the meetup tomorrow night.  I want to attend that Ally meeting tomorrow night.  I would have found out about it if I could get connected.  I tried even with the suggestions.  They even said use the zoom connection for the phone.  I got so aggravated that I just gave up and went back to work with out even having lunch.

There were some issues about the mail.  We are trying to find out if they were here or not yesterday.  Kilby station was not picked up.  The other stuff in cash bags were the only thing we got.  I sometimes wonder if we all mean the same thing when we say “the courier service” was here this many times.

The rest of my day went into the crapper.  I realized I was scanning documents the wrong way and ended up losing the said files.  I was able to redo some of them that I touched today.  Luckily AC helped out and was able to rescue at least one day.  We were able to get a document access so that I can make the refund scanning  batch sheet.  IT was helpful in getting Java updated and epic reset and now I can access my time card from every place except from the laptop at home.  I took a picture of it and sent it to the guy who helped me today. I gave him the information and will check the email again tomorrow.

I came home by 4:30.  I had my lunch food as snack.  I had relaxed until it was time to get to the gym.  I missed Paiges class but after my session with Alex I stayed until 7:15.  I did thirty minutes on the treadmill and made it to 9k (not exactly the 10K as promised) and became 10Kplus by the time I got to the car.

When I got home the cats were roaming but there was a mess on the floor of my old phone and pictures and pins.  It was the second time today it was on the floor.  I am not sure what was going on.  Either I am being visited by spirits or these two where have a grand old time.

I made dinner, watched a little tv and then started the taxes.  I just finished a little before ten.  To say it was stressful would be an understatement.  Everything I worked on was zooming.  I used Turbotax and it cost me just over $150.  I was getting aggravated every time an email alert, or page alert would show up. There were so many questions they went through I couldn’t answer (like paying stuff from another state) I mean I used chewy or amazon or Newegg but I think they charged state taxes. 

I had FMLA so I think that was correct.  I just don’t know.  There were all the questions about owning the house.  I just don’t know and I didn’t want to call “HIM” or my sister because it was getting late.  I am getting alerts that they have been submitted.    I was really obnoxious and I was cussing and I never know if I am so loud that the neighbors can hear me.    Well one won’t they don’t look like they are around.     Well the kitties seem fine (they spent the last two hours downstairs)

I don’t think I will be going to bed anytime soon.

Today I will try again to get the Taxes done before going to bed.  However that’s not what is foremost on my mind right now. 

Late yesterday afternoon my sister sent me an email inviting me to a cousin chat via zoom with the paternal side of the family.  It was organized by my cousin Judy (my Aunt rosemary’s middle daughter)  I was so excited to get the invitation and I forwarded it to Jim.  I got an a text from Liz and she thinks its around 4:30.  Now I am thinking what have I done?  I am nervous as the house isn’t exactly neat.  In between playing words with friends and checking emails I am trying to go around and straighten the house. 

I haven’t seen most of my cousins since the last family wedding.  I don’t know if I will see my Aunt Patty’s sons (both of their parents died about the time Mom died) and one of the boys wives also died.  I never got to their funerals.  I don’t remember the last time saw the Texas branch.  My cousin Tom and his family live in CA.   I haven’t seen his sisters in years. 

So many thoughts are going through my head.  A part of me is anxious to run through the house and straighten up the house in case they want to see what it looks like. The other part of me is asking who cares.  Is this a way for my sister to see what the house looks like without actually coming in to see it?  I am going around trying to straighten things as I see them.  IF I have to I will probably shove stuff into cabinets.  It feels like the times my parents would come home from vacation and I would run around the house to make sure it was taken care of.

I decided to cancel the class at 10.  I will take another walk later.  I took one last night before the rain shower came through.  It actually started just as I was heading home from my walk.   It was not even a mile but I managed to get about 4000 steps.  It’s not quite the 10k but I will do better today I hope.  It’s not starting out like that.  I have either forgotten the phone somewhere or I was having the battery charged.

I was pretty good about tracking my food like Alex asked me to but I was still hungry by the time I went to bed.  He says not to worry about the calories just yet but I looked and I still had 400 plus calories I could have had.   

I made more beef patties and used a basic meatloaf recipe.  This time I had three patties to freeze and used one for dinner last night.  No veggies this time.  Not sure what I will make tonight.   I think the chicken would be a good thing.

I did end up making a snack of a patty and some vegetables (that could be considered lunch) earlier this morning.

I heard from Jim this morning.  He and his lady had a visit from said Lady’s daughter recently and both have been exposed to Corvid.  The daughter was wearing a mask while in person but her boyfriend had been tested positive.  The daughter is exhibiting symptoms.   Jim says it’s been a week already since he was exposed.  The best I could do was “keep an eye on symptoms”.

I am trying to organize an update files this afternoon.  I finished with one of the files under bills.  Now I will work it some more.    As usual there are so many that are mixed in with the search parameters that you can’t delete them yet because they belong to other files you might want.

I will keep trying.   Now there is 35 minutes until the family zoom connection.  I am a little nervous.
