The I worked for 4 hours this morning edition. I took this picture just before I left at 6:30 this morning. I’m not sure whether this shows you that I’m still a bit sick, still tired, or just that the cold meds hadn’t kicked in yet. I’ve gotta say, I’d rather have worked a full shift today, but I’m not going to complain about the half shift I got this morning. I’m an overpacker, and getting ready for working a shift in the guardhouse is no exception… Book? Check. Magazines? Check. Breakfast? Check. Cough Drops? Check. You get the idea… today I read a good bit of my book, but other than the cough drops I didn’t touch anything else that I brought with me.

I did the round for the 4 hours that I was there, checked my email, and then played a prank on my friend Amy. When I picked up those third shifts a couple months ago, I stopped by her desk on my way around the building and left notes on her computer. The last one I left said that she didn’t have enough pictures hanging up in her cubicle, but I could offer her a couple pictures of me if she needed them. I joked that if I picked up some more overtime, I was going to decorate her office. So today when I finished my round, I printed off 9-10 of my SPS pictures and went up and taped them up in her office. I put a post-it note with a smaller picture of me on her computer screen that said, “Guess who got some overtime?” Hehehe, totally worth working 4 hours on Sunday morning for! I can’t wait until she gets to work tomorrow!!

For now I’m trying to motivate myself to leave the house again. I need to go to the grocery store, at least to get stuff for breakfast tomorrow (and lunch/dinner today) if nothing else. Other than that, I don’t plan to do much else today. Although my apartment desperately needs cleaning, I really want to get as much rest as possible. I’m slowly getting over this head cold (or whatever it is I’ve been dealing with), but I want to facilitate further healing and that’s not going to happen by pushing myself to get stuff done today. I was already gone most of the day yesterday, so as soon as I get back home, I plan on spending a good bit of time under a blanket on the couch.
