If you have known me more than a few months, you probably know how I love taking naps. Well, I wasn’t always in love with naps like this. Until about a few years ago, taking a nap only happened a few times a year. Now I take naps on weekends and on my days off out of necessity because I’m usually sleep-deprived during the week. So I take a nap whenever I get a chance so that I can function at work. I even put “nap” on my kanban board.
This past weekend, however, I did not have a chance to take a nap. I was busy Saturday doing weekend stuff like laundry and whatnots and running around different stores to find things I need, like foam for seat cushion and an enzymatic cleaner, etc. I was at work all day Sunday since it was the monthly maintenance Sunday when we do all our maintenance work on the servers and I worked longer hours than usual and hence no naps for me again. So now, yesterday and today, I’ve been having trouble. I’m tired and sleepy. My eyes keep closing and my brain is foggy. All I want to do is lie down somewhere and take a little nap.
Are you wondering if there is any point to this post yet? Cause I sure can’t remember why I started this post like this, but I KNOW I had a point… I just can’t remember. Sorry but I’m telling you I had a point. Trust me although I’m not sure if I digressed somewhere above. I’ll try to update it later if I do remember. Maybe I shouldn’t post this. But then I may never remember. So I’m going to post it anyway. Feel free to give me suggestions on what my point would be.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I’m going to eat cakes and pies and all kinds of artery-clogging and fattening food in honor of your birthday today cause that’s the least I can do, ya know?
As I mentioned two posts ago, I’ve been busy. So I started using Agile Zen kanban board in earnest. I’m not really kanban-ing in its true sense as I understand, but rather using it as my to-do list in different stages. It’s easier to manage than just a plain to-do list since I can easily see what stage a certain task is at and I can group related items in the same color. Because I’m using their free version, I can have only one project, but it suits me just fine for my personal kanban. I guess you could say I’m using the colors to represent projects or subprojects.
As you can see, I can work on only a few items a day since I only have an hour or two a day on a good day, and certain things need to be done during certain hours of the day. But I’m not using it to improve efficiency although by organizing my to-do list like this, it did improve.
There are a lot of items in the Backlog category, which I use to put the items that I need to do but not ready to work on or the items that I need to remember to do some time in the future, like buying the frozen raw food patties for the dogs and portion them or preparing the daily medications and supplements for each dogs for whoever is going to take care of my dogs while I’m gone, etc.
It’s a pretty cool tool. I hope they come up with an app for iPhone by the time I get it next year since I would like to be able to see this when I don’t have my laptop or internet connection.
…again. Something is not quite right with Brandy these days. She’s been drinking a whole lot and hence peeing a lot. Her skin around the eyes are raw from too much tears being produced and making her constantly rub her eyes. Yesterday morning, I woke up to a foul smell of her vomit and her urine ALL OVER the kitchen and the den area where she stays. I had to take a day off from work to clean it up and take her to a vet. And of course there is nothing wrong with her medically.
The seat of the chair that she usually sleeps in and I use to hold her upright after her meals is completely soaked with her vomit. So I need to get the foam to replace it, and looking at it online, it’s more than $200 for one stinking foam for the seat! I feel like I’m in a twilight zone or something.
I’m tired. There is a road block everywhere I turn. I still haven’t filed application for passport yet since I can’t confirm the information I have on my parents’ birth place. I left a message for my vet to discuss boarding my dogs there twice. I haven’t heard back. Getting Bailey chair was another circus yesterday. Apparently people who I contacted to have it made are going on a vacation on the 16th of this month for ten days. They were once burned by somebody who had a Bailey chair made and didn’t want it when it was finished, so they do not start making it until they get the payment. So they wanted the check overnighted if I wanted it shipped before they leave for their vacation. But I rarely use checkbook any more, I do my banking online 99.999999% of the time, so I couldn’t find my checkbook. And the story goes on and on and on…
I’m tired. Giving up sounds so sweet right about now.
Serious Stuff. Seriously
