It has been mix the last few weeks…..both stressful and some relief.
Work has been stressful. I actually had to go to the one manager that I don’t deal with very much or care do so. But she actually works and gives a damn. So I brought things up that need to be addressed, found out I was the 8th person to come to her.
I was actually dreading to come into work….I may not want to go to work at times, but dreading it is not me.
In nutshell, it is retail, it has been hell the last 18months. Never had our seasonal slow down, just been fricking nuts the whole time. People being even more abusive and entitled as ever…..gggrrrr While we can’t get enough people to work, can’t past the drug test, or they don’t last long.
Then we lost our good store manager to a higher volume store, we have 3 new to the company ASMs and 1 experienced…..the 3 new ones either don’t know or want to know the nuts and bolts or they are on their phone or in their office talking….not on the floor.
Drew still eating/demanding and purring, but so skinny, more time just laying there. I’m justing feeling that it won’t be much longer. Getting more time with him, has been the positive and as of this month, he is 13.
Finally had my annual……gained weight, cholesterol and sugar needs work. =( Not happy at all about that. We have been eating more pizza then we should, too much take out, I’ve been eating more junk offered to me at work and I’m only going on walks on my days off, not before work…..so overall, I need to get it turned around, but stress doesn’t help.
Had a freak out at the beginning of the week. There was an ACH withdrawal on our bank account that I did not authorized…..after hitting up the payment processor it was under, our landlord, was very relieved to find that it was our credit union system error that they were fixing. At least we weren’t hacked. =)
Now that is all the stressful, not very positive part.
The good part is I’m off until the 14th. Couldn’t pull off heading out to Indiana this year, but looking forward to chilling out a little this week. I’ve made me my list of things that I need/want to get done. I did a list on my last day off, and got a huge amount done….felt good. Would like to get something done this week.
Thinking of getting my hair colored, if they are opened….possibility a pedi…
Loved how today started….one I don’t have to get ready for work next week….lol Two, it is no longer unseasonably hot…..able to turn off the ACs, it was overcast and a chilly. …even got a down pour of rain, of course without my rain jacket…lol LOVED it…..
Now during my freak out about the bank mess up, learned that our complex little gym should be opening up soon!!! Boy did it give me a light at the end of the tunnel.
Went for my walk today, I always go past the gym and I noticed the sign that they were closed was removed. So I took my key fob to the door, it unlocked like normal but this time it actually opened!!! I’m so psyched!
It made it hard to do the walk, I just wanted the gym….lol But I got over 6 miles in and at a better rate than I’ve had been doing, didn’t feel the shin splints.
So I’ve been waiting for an email from them all day to say that it is open and what the rules are going to be. It hasn’t come…..but I don’t give a damn! I’m getting up early and heading over! I’m so excited!! Perfect way to start my week off. =)
It’ll be the first time back at the gym since I got the apple watch (so I’m not sure how that it is going to work with it) and since I got the shin splints. I’m going to start on the elliptical, listen to my music and read my book. Hoping to get back on track this week, so I can start doing it before work again.
Hoping that will also help get me back on track on eating. I’m so geeked to get back to the gym!!! Major stress reliever =)
