It’s been an interesting week.
I won’t talk about the specifics at work, but it’s busy, we’re doing OK, and as much stress as there is there, the people that I work with all say the same thing. We’re greatful to have jobs, and as much as the workload sucks, the people are great. We have a little fun every day in between all the tasking. By Friday we’re all worn out and grumpy but rarely at each other. It’s a good place to work. We’re doing OK through this economy so far.
I took the diabetic cat to the vet Thursday. The vet called yesterday with the results of the blood test and we have to lower his insulin just a wee bit. His sugar level is well controlled and his mid day level was a bit too low, so not so much insulin will fix that. I also talked to the vet that did the surgery on my little girl kitty. We’re going on the theory that she’s got IBS. She threw up again last weekend, so the vet gave me more anti nausea drugs for when that happens, and she’ll be on steroids every other day for a couple more months, maybe forever. We’ll see how she does. She’s got a couple of pounds that she needs to gain back, the steroids will help with that too. The cat world at Grania’s house, for now, is doing well.
Project house is progressing. This weekend’s plans are to nap a bit, and to clean a little more clutter out of the junk room. Every little bit helps. I’ve been looking at the book shelves in there, and there’s going to be a used book trade at work. I think I’ll just donate a sack of books to the cause. I have an empty dresser in that room too. I’ve decided that it will be used for three things. Two drawers for office supplies, because my current desk only really has one pencil drawer and one bigger drawer. Family tree stuff, organized by drawer, one for mom’s family and one for dad’s family. The third thing is craft tools. I have lots of random useful crafting tools, and they’re scattered through the house, so now a drawer or two will be just the tools. Paint brushes, my roto tool, hot glue gun, knitting needles, hook rug hooks, etc. I have a separate cabinet for sewing, but I think the rest of it will fit in one big dresser drawer and the rest can be given away.
The one thing that I have yet to get under control is all the left over old computer junk. I think I found a place that will recycle the old systems, but they only have one drop off per month. The rest of it will be craigslisted as things like “a sack of cables” and “miscelleanous computer bits”. If you are in need of any connectors/network cables/etc or a really really old computer let me know, I’ll be glad to share. It seems a waste to get rid of all of that stuff, but I’ll never use it, so it really doesn’t need to be here taking up space.
Other things in my life have gotten “interesting”.
That’s a word that I got from Roomie, who uses it constantly. Things aren’t good or bad, they’re just “interesting”. “Interesting” takes the judgment out of it and lets you see things objectively and learn from them. Roomie lives that way, always looking for the interesting parts and learning. There are, however, things that I don’t blog about, and these interesting turns in my life fall under that category. So, sorry for the tease. Just know that anything worth doing is worth the risk, and if you never take any risks things get quite uninteresting and that’s not how I want my life to be lived.
