another day off to clean up more
Woke up with a stiff shoulder, which is a bummer, cuz I'm hoping for a big day of straightening up & cleaning, including moving a few big things. Have made some progress. Will make more. The shoulder may not fix itself until I get another night's sleep, but I'm working with it.
Got on the computer to see whether this HSA credit card I just got off the floor is the current one or the cancelled one. Ended up looking at the work email, and saw that the higher-ups are going to be okay, at least officially, with neither me nor my sub attending a lunch with visiting VIPs next week. They may be sort of stuck accommodating me, but if they were to insist on it being one of us, I might've caved & gone, but done what my sub would do: just worn a mask the whole time & not ate anything. Also coming to mind when dipping into work was how discouraging it is to have only more disappointment coming from above, that we haven't somehow done something superhuman, with the tools given. So why the hell am I bopping in to look at work today, when I have the day off?
I do have to go in next week to explain in 5 minutes what we do to two touring groups, 3 or 4 hours apart. And I'm going in for a little bit tomorrow. And I might go in to meet with the new Diversity and Inclusion officer next week. Can't decide. Interesting yesterday I asked my neighbor what she was reading, in a chair in her backyard, and it was about the bogusness of wellness programs. I told her a little of what I was debating raising, and she was right with me, which was pretty danged cool. But it's hard to feel like it'll do any good to go through what you have to go through to try. Still, I'm curious about the new person, and whether she's already onto some of what's not so great.
Pending abortion backslide aside, it seems like the more time goes by, the more expensive health care is going to get, when you can get it, and the "wellness" division of coverage and costs feels like it's finally getting ready to bust out.
SO. What's good?
Well, the COVID numbers *may* be turning down again in the county my trip next month is to. And they are better at vaccination than we are in this county. Still, it's a bit nerve-wracking.
Nonetheless, I'm excited. Did I mention that I got new luggage? Even fairly cheap luggage now is fancy. And wheels on luggage: duh. So smart.
I'm enjoying the episodes I've seen so far of the last season of Better Call Saul. The occaional Fring is okay, and I liked watching Nacho, but mostly I'm all about Kim. She just had a scene with another character I like, and whom we'd never seen her encountering before. It was a treat.
I've learned the language of that show now, with a boost from years with the language of film, and now I can appreciate when it is poetry.

Still, it is definitely emotional. It's that kind of storytelling. But in a recent episode in which I was afraid something bad might happen to a dog, nothing did. Don't mind spoiling that for you or anyone else, as surely we sensitive folks would like to know that ahead of time.
