ianukLast week was long and short in different ways. I had a huge allergy driven migraine Thursday and Friday and finally recovered a bit on Saturday to spend time working on Wolgrim's scroll and having a socially distanced afternoon with Ari on the porch. I also made it out to the park for socially distance seeing TRM to pick up the scrolls for Ivan and I getting our Gratis Coronae. It was so good to see them and other household members who were also there to get their scrolls and medallions. I spent Saturday and Sunday afternoons working on the scroll for Wolfgrim and its coming along. Its physically exhausting to work on but its good work and looking pretty good. I hope to get to the text this weekend.
Saturday night we also had surprise visitors of 4 your dogs in our yard. Our neighbors took them in while they figured out who they belonged to and they were reunited later that night with their family. Though I saw on Twitter that they escaped again. Super cuter and sweet pups though but I hope the owners get them collars with address and phone numbers.
I also had my performance review last week and that went well. I got a good 3.9% raise and a 4% performance share/ bonus. That bonus hit the check this week...oof. I'm socking that away for a rainy day. I had signed up to volunteer with the POD for vaccine at the U of A. I did my first shift last night and surprise surprise they had 100 vaccines for volunteers last night and I got my first shot on my first shift! Holy cow! My next shot is scheduled and ready for me. Wow! I'm humbled. You sign up for the vaccine when you go to your first shift and they put you on the list. They are supposed to track for you to have done at least 36 hours of volunteer work. I've signed up for lots more shifts so its neat. Ive been running traffic just like I do at Estrella Main gate. I was complimented on being heard when I yelled across the quad to signal a lane was opening for cars. Yah, I gots a bit of experience in that.
It was also cool that Paul from the dojo, Willa and Dom all got our first shots last night as well as my friend Caitlin from work. Woot! I will get to hug people soon!
Now to get the hubby on to volunteer. Its fun and easy and you get to see folks smile and congratulate them on getting there shot. They feed us and water us too on shift. Well not me cause the only water is Dasani and I don't trust food unless I see an ingredients list but its all good for those that don't have food allergies.
On the book front I finished #3 for the year Trapped by Kevin Hearne and finished #4 The Dark Prophecy by Rick Riordan and started #5 Hunted by Kevin Hearne
