Juke Box Dive

Work continues to be very workish, which is rather dull of it. It was a short week, for which I was rather grateful, but hard. A man I had known and worked with for 15 years passed away on Tuesday night. He had just retired in December so a shock. Unbearably sad for his family. In notifying people, we found a woman we worked with for a long time and who retired about five years ago now has Alzheimer's. It was just a sad week. And busy because April. I'm also in a leadership program at work and my group has to give a presentation next Thursday, so there was finishing that up. Just busy and sad and I'm really glad it's over.

I've been giving thought to my last post, too. I keep thinking about 13 year old me and how disappointed she would be if she knew her life had become this. Full disclosure: I've had my period this week, which tends to make me maudlin, but I'm more than a little disappointed, I think. I'm not so maudlin as to think "this is it" but hopefully it spurs a little action out of me. We shall see. Not that I'm off to a rousing start but I have some thoughts. [Though I always have thoughts. Filled to the brim with them. I really need action.]

Anyway. There will be pottering about in my garden this weekend, and maybe finally doing something with my bathroom. Definitely some reading. I bought lots of lovely fruits and veg at the grocery tonight, so there will be good things to eat and I plan on going to the zoo for a good hike. Practicing the piano. Right now, though, I think it's time for a cup of tea and another episode of British bakers being lovely and soothing.
