I am so glad the weekend is nearly here. This week was the first week of the outage at work, and though I’ve worked my normal hours (7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.), I’ve been somewhat stressed. I have a couple papers to write (history and English), a test to take, some assignments to finsish, and discussions to participate in. It’s really not a lot, but I become anxious being at work all day when I know have things to get done.

Next week, I’ll be working a different shift (3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m), and even though I would rather be at home during the evenings, I’m looking forward to sleeping in an extra hour or two. Not only that, but I think I work better in the mornings with school things.

After the outage (which should be over in less than a month, but they have been known to last longer), the company I work for is losing their contract with the place I work at. So. That means they’ll either transfer me to a new contractor here, or I’ll be on the search for a new job. I’m hoping it’s the former, obviously. I hate not knowing 100%, but I’m trying not to let stress overwhelm me, so I’m remaining optimistic.

In other news, we took Loki to the vet yesterday for the first time. He seemed a little stressed out, but they gave him two shots, and then we got him home quickly to relax. I was feeling anxious for him! He also has ear mites (poor baby!), but they gave us medicine that should clear it up in about a week.

Also, I’m so very glad that Grey’s Anatomy is back on. It’s the only show I watch regularly, so I’ve missed that little break from reality.

How has your week been?

P.S. I attempted a vlog the other day, but I feel really awkward talking to my computer screen. Any tips? (I even thought about getting Husband to vlog with me a la KylaRoma, but we all know that won’t happen. He just doesn’t “get” blogging.)
