Last week’s Nothing Day post was really long, but I think today’s will be kinda short.\u00a0 It’s hard to compete with talking about the awesome vacation I had.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The vacation is over, though, so it’s back to work.\u00a0 We had a shift bid at work, and after a lot of deliberation I decided to stay with my current shift, 1400 – 2230 Saturday through Wednesday.\u00a0 Officially, the new shifts start on Friday, although this doesn’t affect me much with the lack of change in hours.\u00a0 The only thing that does<\/em> affect me is that as the schedule stands, I will be by myself on Sundays from 1830 – 2200.\u00a0 That’s assuming I manage to go to lunch on time (1800), which should usually happen but sometimes calls come in at bad times.\u00a0 One of my co-worker’s schedule may be shifted a bit so I am not on my own.\u00a0 We’ll see.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Also, I did my first duty as a Team Lead at work:\u00a0 I attended a meeting on Monday.\u00a0 It was interesting, and I got information before most of my co-workers.\u00a0 One thing that came up was it’s time for another raffle at work.\u00a0 We do this every few months, spending the play money we get for doing good on raffle tickets.\u00a0 We decided on a digital camera, so I took the one I bought for my vacation into work on Tuesday.\u00a0 After seeing it and seeing what it could do, the bosses decided that would be the perfect raffle prize.\u00a0 I will only be spending a couple of play money dollars as I already have one.\u00a0 If I win….I’ll either gift it to somebody or eBay it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Meanwhile, I have started yet another exercise program.\u00a0 This time I am starting out by just walking.\u00a0 I circled two blocks on Monday and Wednesday, and today I went for an hour’s walk on a city trail.\u00a0 (Actually, it was about seven or eight minutes over an hour!)\u00a0 I spaced doing it on Tuesday.\u00a0 Going forward, my plan is for a two block circle Monday through Wednesday and Friday with a long trail walk on Thursday.\u00a0 Next week the Thursday walk will be an hour and I hope to increase my circles to two.\u00a0 The week after that I hope to increase my trail time to ninety minutes, and then to two hours about three or four weeks after that.\u00a0 I will increase my circles to three in a few weeks and then four and maybe even five in a couple of months.\u00a0 I bought a “hydration pack” thing to keep me hydrated.\u00a0 It’s one of those water bladders you wear on your back.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This past Saturday was my birthday, and I had a date with a church friend.\u00a0 She surprised me by having another church friend meet us at the movie theater.\u00a0 She wanted more to show up, but she only tried at kind of the last minute and only got one person with a free schedule.\u00a0 After the movie–Cowboys and Aliens<\/em>, which I enjoyed greatly–we went to dinner at Ruby Tuesday’s.\u00a0 Dinner was just the two of us, but earlier, after she picked me up and before we got to the theater, she said she didn’t see it as a date.\u00a0 Sigh.\u00a0 We were supposed to go out today, but her schedule filled up.\u00a0 She said we may be able to go out again in a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n That, then, was my week.\u00a0 See you tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last week’s Nothing Day post was really long, but I think today’s will be kinda short.\u00a0 It’s hard to compete with talking about the awesome vacation I had.
