 I have a tittynope of patience left for this Monday! More glitches with the work software. Today’s glitches involved  creating offer letters, seeing candidate that applied and anything else directly related to my job.

I have submitted an IOU to the swear jar. I may need to take out a loan to covers today’s fines. Ha!

I put in a solid 12 hours. My brain hurts. I am mentally exhausted. Who knew thinking could be so tiring?

I tried to come up with some good bright sides from today. I thought about it longer than I should have. This is what I came up with: it is almost time for bed. It is still a bright side, so I am going to count it. Let’s be honest, I made the rules for this exercise, today is not the day I am going to be a stickler with my own exercise.

Paul also had an equally frustrating, very Mondayish Monday. Neither one of us have anything good to say. We were each other’s venting buddy by text and with 5 phone calls. 

Typically our correspondence during the day is regarding action items and pictures of dogs. Rarely a phone call. Today was 5. We did make a plan that we need to consistently play the lottery. If we win, we can both quit (which I probably wouldn’t quit because When things work, I like my job).

Ethan had to pick up some meds today. He was down to the wire with running out of pills. He swooped in and was able to not miss a dose. Yay!

Thankfully the dogs made me smile tonight. Paul did too when he pretended to enjoy the dog’s salmon flavored treat. Barf! 🤮
