Simple Woman's Daily Digest (11/3/11)

I feel like it should be a simpleton's daily digest...

Outside my window:  window?  I don’t have a stupid window.  Outside of THE window that I have to get up and look out of, I can see men cleaning our building’s windows reflected in the Comcast buildings’ mirrored windows.  I can also see the reflection of people walking and I can see WaWa.  It looks like there is a tree down there as well.

I am hearing:  Glenn Beck’s show from Monday on my .mp3 player.

I am wearing:  a black/red/gray faux-wrap dress, black sling backs, and stockings (yuck).  Plus, my office snuggie/shawl thing because it is about 60 degrees in here!

In the kitchen: are three plastic bags of left over pretzels and chips from the party we had Tuesday to welcome our temporary guests from the 7^th floor.  Not ziplock bags…plastic grocery bags.  Very strange.

I am thinking:  that I haven’t been able to focus on work with any consistency in weeks.  I wish that wasn’t the case b/c being bored is boring.

I am thankful for:  My hubby who volunteered to work nights this week because he needs to feel needed – at work and at home.  His hours at job #2 were cut in about half and so his take home pay was also cut.  So, looking for extra hours to make up for the shortfall, he is working overnights.  I hate it and I need him much more at home than I do then the money he will make….but he is doing it for us and I love him for it.  As far as needing to feel needed at work…he is so underappreciated at work, I hate it for him.  He does EVERYTHING while people stand around and gab.  His boss is constantly asking him to do other stuff and he is trained to do everything the managers do.  But…he still gets his hours cut while the gabbers stand around getting paid for being there and it frustrates him to no end.  So…he jumps at the chance to work with no oversight (he’s the only one on at night) or to do inventory.

I am reading:  The Confession by Beverly Lewis.  Also, I’m still reading Michael Vey, the prisoner of Cell 25, and I am listening to Crazy Love by Francis Chan.

I am hoping:  this work day ends quickly.

A few plans for the rest of the week:  Tonight and tomorrow night we have swim practice or course.  K is going to a science thing at Alvernia U. on Saturday and I plan to rake leaves while she is there and then take her to her g-parents to be spoiled.  B and I have a date scheduled for the afternoon after he wakes up, ending with watching the LSU vs. AL game in the evening.  Sunday – I have church, have to put in an appearance at my cousin’s 50^th birthday party, and then have swim practice again.  I’m hoping that Sunday night is B’s last night working and that I will actually get to see him for more than 5 minutes at a time next week!
