Trip time

7-29-15
13 more work hours and then I am free!
It was nice to have reports to work on yesterday because I know the day went by quickly. I got my reports done and had time to work on some other projects before quitting time. I don’t see as much to do today, but I will work on making sure notes are on all my accounts that have issues so that while I am out there won’t be any issues.
It is becoming more and more clear that I need to find some Zen while at work. I am getting frustrated with even little things. I got an email this morning asking me to release an order despite the fact that it was released 2 hours ago. It seems to me that the person asking should have looked before asking me to do something. Mind you, I don’t know if she was going off of old data or just made a mistake, but I found myself being quite insulted at her presumption that I hadn’t handled it. I should have just let this roll off. I know it is because in general I am seeing mistakes being made by people who then don’t own up to it. Then, I am the one who must fix it, which I think is ridiculous. However, they employ me and let me leave at 1 and I need a job, so I have to find a way to not let them get to me so much.
I recognize also that PMS has kicked into high gear this week. You know there is nothing better than getting ready for a trip with a sort of busy week at work and then crippling cramps. At one point yesterday I was doubled over in pain. Thankfully when I got home I was able to just relax, which was wonderful. I forced myself to not do anything and managed to watch two movies; Interview with the Vampire and Easy A. The second is always brilliant, and I was impressed that for the most part the first movie holds up. There was some crazy over acting, but it has inspired me to download the book series that inspired the film. I found a copy of I guess 9 books all in one PDF, which means I have a crap ton of digital book. Woo!
Ken and the boys are prepping the house today, which will be nice. It isn’t too bad, but it will be nice to have a clean house for when we get home. I hope they don’t have to work too hard. I know when I get home we are going to run over to PetCo, but after that I am considering some pool time with the boys as a nice way to unwind before the slight stress of travel. My mom is driving us to the airport and the flight is only an hour and 45 minutes, which is nice. We have a car rental and it is most likely we will beat everyone there so we will go check in and maybe find some dinner depending on the status of where Ken’s folks are at on the road.
Ken is bringing the laptop so I am considering typing up some bloggy goodness in the evenings at the hotel. We shall see. It would be good for me since it will be a release. Then again, depending on the pool hours, maybe I will just take the boys into the pool until we are kicked out and then we will all sleep great!

Happy days are ahead!
