So, I am doing ok at my new job. Finally getting into a routine and developing some systems around how to do my job and be most efficient and effective. The learning curve was the first couple weeks and now I am settling into a way of working that seems to be working pretty well. I think I will even come to enjoy it, once I feel more confident.
Although the money is nice (got my first paycheck), I hope that the mandatory 60 hours a week does not go on too long. I mean, I have done 60 hour workweeks before - and NOT at home, but it is a lot and gets old after a few months. We figure with the pandemic ramping up all over the country, we will probably have to continue this schedule through winter, and maybe through spring.
I had a treadmill that I found used. I used it probably not even 20 miles and it went kaput. So I ordered and received one from Sams. It was very heavy in a huge box. DH and I opened the box in the driveway and took out the pieces we could. Then we dragged the bottom half of the huge box into the house and down the hallway to the spare guestroom. DH spent about 3 hours yesterday putting it together. Today was nice, so i did couple miles at lunch. I am going to do 2 more miles on my new treadmill after work today. I have been conditioning so well, hiking and such, i don't want to loose my strength I have built up. Plus, I still need to lose about 15 pounds to be more comfortable in my clothes. Good luck during a pandemic!
Anyway. Just pretty much working and getting my routine down. On my only day off that I did not have to go anywhere, Sunday. I raked my front yard and tore down my raised veggie garden. Then i had a nice long walk inthe sunshine and listened to my newest library book on tape. Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance. The subtitle is "A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis". He is a young man who grew up pretty poor in Appalachia with a mother who abused pain medication and a father he did not know who managed to get through law school and graduate from Yale Law. It is really good.
Well, I hope all you out there stay safe and aren't running out of TP. Our Sams was out on Sunday. Here we go again!
I have the tp covered this time! Hillbilly Elegy is a book I want to read. I have thought about getting a bike but I don't think I can ride one because of spinal problems. I love riding a bicycle, so may a stationary bike would work. You got lots done!
