It’s Monday and it’s Rev Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. day. The office is closed and I am off and able to do whatever it is that I please. I get up and do my affirmations right in the morning in my notebook. In the afternoon I pass by my parents’ house to see how they are doing. I then head over to the pharmacy to pick up a bunch of scripts for us. I then get home and am determined to clear out the blowup balloons we have outside from Christmas time. The weather is just fine and I am in the mood for cleaning up. We have four balloons, one with Jack Skelington, another is a unicorn, we have a Santa, a Mickey and Minnie and a snowman. Our yard is big and we could probably hold a few more, but four is enough for now. Maybe next year we will get one more for our collection. We then have dinner of chicken with mushrooms and some rice. The day was filled with running around but I am glad I got to see my parents. They are well and healthy and they actually took their medicine today. I had to entice them a little bit, but they took the meds in front of me. My mother made a face, my father did too. They don’t like to take medicine. They think it is bad for their bodies. They would rather go the holistic rout with some sort of tea. But at their age. Holistic just doesn’t work anymore. It did when they were young but now, it is time for the doctor prescribed medications for the heart disease and diabetes.
It’s now Tuesday and I get up at six in the morning as I could eat a horse lol. I get up with at the same time as my husband and have something to eat and make my morning coffee. We get him ready for work and then I get into my bedroom/office and get to my affirmations. I write and write, then I put on the PBS show, Victoria and as I write, I watch a few episodes of the show.
At eight or so I log on to my work email and start looking through to my day. I have a lot of meetings and I need to get “dressed” for work. One of the meetings may be on camera and I must look presentable. No PJs. Maybe a nice sweater and a pair of leggings or jeans.
My work day flies by with all of the meetings and work that needs to get done. In the evening we have dinner and help the little one with her homework and then we go out for a drive for a little bit. Just to get out of the house. I notice some people continue to have their Christmas lights on. We still have the lights on the house but I am planning on taking them down over the weekend. If the weather permits of course.
It’s Wednesday and it is snowing on Long Island. I hope it’s only a dusting. Otherwise, I will need to get out there and shovel. I am not a fan of the shovel. Snow, sure, bring it on. Cleaning it up…no way.
Today is another busy day at work with all of the meetings that I continue to have.
I’ve been able to contact my human resources department and finally update my email address from my maiden name to my married name. I should have gotten it done from the start, but I didn’t want to cause any waves at my new job because they had the incorrect last name. Well, now that I am in a new department, I decided it was time to make the updates to my email and instant messaging systems. It took a few weeks and a few departments to get it done. But it should all be resolved by tomorrow. That’s what the team says. We will see. I’m not worried, it’s been like this for many years. Another few days isn’t going to be an issue for me.
During my lunch hour, I send an email to my cousin in Portugal. I’ve mentioned to her that I have a new Gmail account and we have been communicating via that email address for a while. Gmail fixes my words in Portuguese. There are many letters with accents and Gmail fixes them. It’s a great tool. I highly recommend. Don’t know if it fixes other languages, but it should, if it fixes mine. So I let her know about her Godparents, my parents, and how they are doing. She’s tried to contact them via telephone but they just simply don’t answer. I told her not to worry as they don’t answer me either. They have a cell phone and they always forget to charge it. It’s not ideal for old people, but it works better due to all of the scam phone calls everyone keeps on getting. When they had a landline, they received a phone call from someone who wanted money. He was threatening them that they would go to their house to get it. It’s crazy how some people are out there just to fool the elderly. The latest phone scam that we keep on getting is regarding a car’s extended warrantee. My car is way passed that and there is no way there is an extended warrantee for a 10 year old Honda Civic. But for those who have newer cars, they could potentially get scammed. It’s a crazy world out there.
It’s now the afternoon and there is only a dusting of snow. Thank goodness. All of the pretty without the cleaning. Next week I will need to buck up and go into the office as I have to get a new laptop. Mine has to go back in and I will be getting a fresh new one. In the evening I continue to work away as there is much to do.
It’s Thursday and I woke up hungry again. So at five in the morning, there I go and have my breakfast. I then say my, see you laters’ to my husband, as he is getting ready for work and I go into my bedroom/office and am looking through my social media for positive vibes. I write some of them down in my journal. As for the workday, it went nice and smoothly. I’ve taken care of all that I could and by four I hit a wall and that was that. I listened to a webinar and was learning about how IT and Marketing mend together. Nothing exciting today.
It’s Friday and its the same old routine. Get up at eight thirty. Make coffee, drink coffee. Go to meetings starting right at nine and then more meetings throughout the morning and early afternoon. Took a small break for lunch and then back to the grind. Busy, busy.
In the afternoon I had a break between meetings and did my affirmation feel goods. My heart always feels happy after my affirmations are completed in my journal. In the evening I play with my little one and her toys. She wants to make videos with her and her toys and she makes a few of them and then she shares them with Grandma and Daddy. They are very cute. As she is playing along with technology, I am falling asleep at the kitchen table. It’s nine in the evening after all and that time is now midnight for me. As soon as she is satisfied with her videos, I say my goodnights and go to bed.
Until Next time.
Stay safe!
Best,
Isabel
