So glad we are at the half-way mark for the work week. Yesterday I woke up exhausted, my arm/shoulder was hurting so bad I had to do a lot of self-talk to get my behind to get to the office. Even while driving there, I seriously thought of calling J and telling him I was hurting too bad to make it in. But being the good secretary I am (private joke between Charles and me from many years ago) I went to work!!!
As I said I was so tired I decided to have the energy drink I had in my drawer. I usually make sure to not get any with more than 75g of caffeine (about the same as a large coffee with my flavoring) but we (Ron and I) didn’t read the cans last Saturday when we were at $Tree…so did I get a surprise today.
I had one can drink left in my drawer…

I picked it because the flavor sounded kind of good. And yes, it was good. But it hit hard, I couldn’t seem to stay in my seat, I was flitting around the office like a crazy woman. Y even asked if I was okay. J even asked me about hiding my drink behind a stack of TEAL’s – I don’t think he bought “I just don’t want it to get knocked over.” I decided I had better check to see how much caffeine was in it ~ OMG…200gms of caffeine…Y told me “you better not buy those again!!!” I definitely will remember to check the caffeine in the future…I felt like I had a buzz of a hangover and I wasn’t even getting the enjoyment of a foo-foo drink🤷♀️
I buzzed around the office till lunch time, ate my lunch but was still feeling kind of antsy so I played a word game on my phone to try to get my mind to focus on something. It seemed to work because after I went back to work after lunch I was able to finish a project and focus on some TEAL’s – I need to be able to focus when I am working on those. I was able to make a dent in my filing. I’m hoping to be able to finish all the TEAL’s on my desk…my goal is to take a picture before it gets filled up again 😉😂😊
And then the workday was over. I came home and walked Charlie so he could do his business and then ate some dinner. Again, thankful for leftovers from the kids: tonight was chicken and broccoli – so yummy!!! I then finished working on the checkbook and paying our bills for the week.
I did our online check-in for the cruise. I just shook my head at the pictures I had to upload of us…straight face, no glasses or hats…what do you think? Talk about stressful…I’m glad that’s done. Now all I have to do is print up our luggage tags and boarding passes. We are in the Boarding Group 12:00-12:30. I am so glad all we have to do is walk across the street from the hotel to the ship.
and 
I think Ron’s picture looks much better than mine 🙂
I also tweaked our lists of stuff to pack for our trip. I keep hearing and reading: Don’t Over Pack!!! So I’m trying to remind myself we can do laundry and we know there is one discount day on the cruise where they will do a bag stuffed with as much as you can stuff ~ I believe that’s Wednesday…I will probably pack and unpack multiple times trying to get things figured out.
One thing I want to take is a small crochet project…I just have to figure out what it would be and how much yarn I would need LOL. I can crochet on the plane and while Ron is driving and I’m sure there will be some downtime on the cruise where I can sit on the observation deck and watch the view!
Well I guess I had better get ready for work…I don’t feel as tired today as I did yesterday…thank goodness!!! 11 more sleeps and we get to get on that jet plane!
