Working All The Time

By
I have been one of the lucky ones who has been working all through the pandemic. I work for a company that sells equipment that is essential to the operation of hospitals, government, business and homes. We have a a couple cases at my work but no outbreaks. We have a had delays in getting products from our manufacturing plants due to the pandemic which caused backorders. Mix that with the demand for our products and we have been busy at the warehouse. I have worked a lot of overtime in the past year. 

There have been weeks I have worked all 7 days. That means working 12 to 13 days straight. One of the things, I like about my job is the in normal times I work Monday through Friday with a Saturday once or twice a month. I do not mind working or the overtime but I have gotten to the point my worklife and personal life is out of balance.  I am working so much right now, I have little time to take care of things outside of work. 

Last Saturday, I was sick and had to call off from work which brother me a lot. I take pride in the fact that I am at work when I am supposed to be at work. I figured I have dehydrated from not drinking enough water the night before at work. I take a cooler to work everyday with 4 bottles of water, 2 bottles of Gatorade,  2 bottles of Propel and 2 bottles of tea. Most days, I will at least half the bottles in my cooler. There are days, I will drink almost all the bottles in the cooler. I try to stay hydrated but the Friday before I got busy with my work I did not drink much of my drinks. 

I have overworked myself and I paid for it. It managed to rehydrate myself with Gatorade and water on Saturday. Sunday, I got some Pedialyte and drunk it. That made me feel so much better. I have been making sure that I have been drinking the water throughout my day when I have to work.

In a couple weeks, I am taking a few days off and heading over to Gatlinburg for a little me time. I just plan on relaxing at the hotel and doing a few things in the Great Smokies National Park and the other attractions in the area.

Chick-fil-a's Polynesian Sauce in Stores

By

I saw on a video that Mike and Becca from NTL Vlogs did on YouTube, that Publix was selling Chick-fil-a's Polynesian Sauce and Chick-fil-a Sauce. When I saw the video, I had to stop at my local Publix store and see if they had them. Monday while I was out taking care of errands, I stopped at Publix and got a bottle of Polynesian Sauce. Now the I have the Polynesian Sauce, I plan to make my own chicken nuggets and dip them in the sauce. It will be a fun cooking project.  While, I am happy that I can get Chick-fil-a's Polynesian Sauce and Chick-fil-a Sauce in stores now. At least around here I found it at Publix. I will have to check the other stores.

Go To A Party

By
Sunday Afternoon, I went to my first party in years. It was a great lift me up. I enjoyed myself a great deal. I got to see some people I have not seen in a while. Enjoyed sending sometime with people I see everyday in a different setting. Plus I got to meet some new people. I did not retreat into the background at this party like I normally do at events like this party. I was not the center of attention but I felt as part of the group. That is a good feeling for me.  The party lifted me even more out of the longest and deepest depression in have had. I think in we continue to lift out of my depression with some more of my plans. In a couple weeks I will be joining other friends for some fun on Halloween.  I also have a few other projects, I am working on that continue to show me I have worth and belong.  I am on my way up to a Mountain High now. Yes there will be a Valley Low after that but it will be followed by another Mountain High.
