ianukI had finished book #25 for the year Dreadful Company and then downloaded #26 Back Lash by Devon Monk. Yes I keep pushing things from my physical TBR pile down but it was late and I wanted more ebook for my mind. Meh, I will deal.
Last week was hell for work, very stressful. My back was not happy with it and just so much going on. I worked a lot of hours to make up for the trip the week before and I'm waiting for people to get things done cause I found a large error in an assumption we had and now there is work that has to get redone and its a whole new group of people than the last time we did this exercise. Its frustrating. And without their inputs, that then cascade into a system, that then go into my slide deck I can't move forward. Its a lot of work and I have to wait for other people which is never my fave.
So by the time I finished on Friday it it was 104F with 52 % humidity and the cooler was doing poorly due to that so my office was 83. I was hot and tired and my back hurt and I was just frustrated. So I finished and sat and did some spinning to chill before my massage and then dinner with the BFF.
My massage was heaven and felt so good, got some stretches to help my back and I've been trying to take breaks, keep moving and do lots of stretching. My wFH chair is causing a lot of issues I think. But also, stress. Sighs.
So Friday night Ari and I had a much needed dinner out. I had not seen her since we got back. We had a lovely dinner at Sushi 10 and drinks. So much to catch up on and her new house. So excited for her and the help we can give her and the plans she has. Got home and hung out and got the second half of the black chickentail done. I went to bed and crashed.
Saturday Mel was up to head to kung fu and I lazed about before getting up for coffee and knitting. I then got my ritual shower before heading out on errands to drop things off for Ari and picking up the scrip for Benton. I then spent the rest of the evening working on the chicken for bob and working a granny square for one of the little crochet ones for Poe. Had a very nice Saturday night though we had to get up early on Sunday to do a final porch cleanup at Wanders. We got all of the fancy storage equipment moved, a large pile of trash ready for the dump on Friday and got everything that needed to be in non-rain storage moved and then some including rearranging the shop shed. It looks amazing. and clean and tidy and has hardly anything in that porch section now.
Got home, got showers, mel made waffles and then I started crafting some more on the big chicken. When Benton finished his room we headed out to go antiquing which was good cause I needed to walk and keep the legs moving for my back to ease. We then got dinner at El Sur which was lovely. Nothing fancy there but good mexican food and I had the mole which was so lovely and homey and tasty. Got home and worked some more on the chicken. Watching movies until Disney+ decided it didn't want to work. Mel was spinning and I finished up the body of the black chicken just before bedtime. It needs the beak and the comb and the underbody to go.
This morning my back is stiff and Benton was crabby but we got things going. I'm awaiting that data still and am kinda going nuts with wanting it so I can do things. Ugh and not feel rushed and more stressed.
In other grumpy Erika's dad Yoda had a heart attack over the weekend and is in Cruses and they can't do open heart cause he's super bad but are doing stints. She had to drive out there cause her mom can not adult at all. I feel bad for Erika, her parents made their own mess and keep asking her to pick up the slack. Ugh. Why are our parents not able to adult? like seriously. Ugh. He came out of surgery but it was bad and things are touch and go right now. Ugh.
This sucks. And I just don't wanna today.
