Work and things...
Jul. 18th, 2024 06:48 amMonday and Tuesday work was a lot of work and I'm realizing my deputy is just not great at anything. We meet, he gets actions and then doesn't do anything with it. He had a peer review for a major piece of paperwork and he didn't write down the actions. (head desk) He is not a good technical writer and its showing, he's not groking the hardware even though he's been in bed with it for months. I've had multiple people tell me issues and its not just me.
I have tons of stuff due and the motivation is low. I don't know if I'm not sleeping well or what but I wake up super tired. Today was with a headache.
Tuesday night we headed to see my Aunt in Rock Valley, IA. They had a huge flash flood at the end of June. She was okay and had an apartment on the opposite side. We had a nice meal of spaghetti, salad, garlic bread and strawberry shortcake for dessert. It was nice to catch up with her and hear about my cousins and their kids. We talked crafts and Benton talked about archery. We showed off some of the projects we have done or are working on, talked about the SCA. I still have no idea what happened between my aunts and my Aunt Judy but its still bad blood. She didn't even want to talk about Judy and Gene. So weird. But it was a good time. We left at 1030pm and almost hit two deer coming out of town. Luckily I know how to drive in deer country but they are still dumb as a box of rocks where cars are concerned. We basically got home and went to bed.
In reading news I had finished #24 the Last Graduate and while I really want to start the next one I figure a good break would be good. I am now reading the second book in the Greta Helsing Series called Dreadful Company by Vivian Shaw as #25 for the year.
We have Shanday lady doing a stop over this weekend and have Ali and Aaron and Ceran coming for a visit. So we have a bit of clean up to do before guests arrive. I did finish the mohair spinning and am now plying the silk/wool blend with the merino/sparkle. Its turning fun barber pole.
And in other weird news, we just figured out Benton and I are the same height. He's 13.
