Welcome to Building the Book Pile!
Good Morning.
Monday: Miss Emma came to work with me and it was a long day for her. She mostly napped behind my desk but had a long walk from the parking lot and met a fair amount of people along the way. By the time my husband picked her up from me around 2:30 she was so lethargic ... she got home saw Charlie and immediately was chaos again (in the best puppy way). I worked until 5 then when I got home helped with some last minute travel prep for my husband. We had dinner and watched the last episode of The Residence. I liked it a lot, if you like a weird murder mystery, I recommend.
Tuesday: I dropped the hubs at the bus station in the morning to begin an adventure to New Zealand and Australia. He is going to have a blast but I am going to miss him. He is away for about 2 weeks. Emma came to work again and did really well, and I got some reviews written and prepped in the middle of the day. I also got an email from Netgalley that I was approved for a book I am SO excited to read 😊. I also spent the evening reading some children's books which was a nice change of pace. For dinner, I just had a 'girl dinner' of various things. I didn't feel like cooking.
Wednesday: Last day in-office for the week. Emma came along again and people know her now. It is also helpful because I work with students and they needed some puppy time for stress relief this time of year. I spent the day clearing my inbox and working through a data project.
Thursday: A work from home day, I love these because I can get chores done in between emails and tasks and it helps me take more breaks. I feel like I am more productive in my own space...it was a pretty lazy day all things considered and I played with the dogs outside at lunch since the weather is so nice right now. After work, I went to the local pub for dinner with a friend.
Friday: In the morning I had brunch with some friends and then worked the rest of the day. I was able to complete a data project, prep for a new one, and start working on prepping my ppts for the summer sessions I will be running for the incoming class.
Saturday: It was forecasted that it would be rainy most the day, thunderstorms etc and it rained a little but not like I thought ...blessings... I was able to mow the yard and let the dogs play outside. I also got to meet some lambs and run some errands... including the notorious 'drop off the donations that have been in my car for far too long'
