Done This Week
Apr. 7th, 2024 12:23 pmUh...let’s see. Back to working full time. Still doing all dad’s normal work around home as well. Being slowly ground into a fine paste, basically.
Also, they’ve announced a temporary cut in production hours at work. It’s a long story, but basically, work is slow and they need to save money. They’re not using the word furlough, but that’s what it is. I happen to be exempt, because the new product development team is exempt, and they represent about 75% of my daily work at this point anyway. So from my perspective, it’s a lot of psychological stress without any practical impacts. Which...yay???
IDK, man, I’m beat down and exhausted and quietly miserable. I’m trying to come up with things to look forward to, to keep life from feeling like nothing but an endless slog. But doing fun things requires time and energy, neither of which I have.
Lewisia: didn’t manage to write anything
Day job: 43 hours, back to whatever passes as normal for however long that lasts
Cooking: the perfect seed bread recipe again to share with friends, made Portuguese donuts and assorted fillings with said friends in what was a 5+ hour comedy of errors
Listening: Foxlore by The Crane Wives (another case of not remembering how this got recommended to me and discovering that it is 100% my jam, particularly love “Curses” and “Turn Out the Lights”)
Other: picked up and unloaded a half ton of hay, took a load of junk to the landfill
