Monday was, of course, the first work day of 2021. It was also the first day back to school for the girls and should have been the first day back for Paul (he took the last two weeks off), but 3 out of 4 of us had some cold symptoms last week so we got tested for COVID just in case and haven't got our results back yet, so he couldn't go to work but is able to work from home (he mostly can't do his full job from home but there are a few things he can do if he really has to). Here I was, looking forward to being able to work in relative peace, with school occupying the girls and Paul going back to work, and now he's not. But he would have been on swing shift this week anyway so he still would have been here most of the day. Sigh. Maybe next week. I love working from home but I just wish, for once, that I could be home ALONE! Like I used to be when the girls were in school, Paul was at work, and I worked from home every Friday. Once everything returns to "normal", and the girls are back at in-person school, I will be back in the office 3-4 days per week, but when I'm working from home, I will be here ALONE and it will be nice and quiet! Except for when Kona decided she wants to play. I can't wait! It will have been at least a year and half by that time.
Speaking of working from home, I got a new desk that will accommodate all of my work stuff. No more working at the dining room table!
Before
Today we finally got the results of our COVID test and we were all negative, as suspected. So Paul got to go to work and I made what turn out to be a same-day appointment for Kona to get her nails trimmed (at the vet) and then Olivia and I went to Dollar Tree and Bartell's for miscellaneous things.
I'm looking forward to the weekend. The last few have been busy with holiday stuff (except for when I took time out to watch some of the Seahawk game)
but this one will be quieter/slower/less busyI want to start my purging project where I go from room to room and purge everything we no longer need/want/use and organize what's left over the course of a few months. I've started this project a few times in the past and never get very far. Maybe this time.
