Current Song in my head: Britney Spears – I’m Not That Innocent
Ok, so I’m watching America’s Got Talent. That has to account for the reason I have Britney Spears in my head. They just had a Britney Spears impersonator on the show. The impersonation was very spot on, until he took his hat off. Yes, I said he. This dude is just plain scary. He had the look, I didn’t think he danced that well, but you can be the judge of that (at least until YouTube takes the clip away). Fast forward to about 30 seconds to see Britney.
I was on the double dose again today and I must say that my focus is good. But… I was up until 1 o’clock this morning because I’m just plain not tired. Forget insomnia, I have too much energy. It will be interesting to see if this happens again tonight. I woke up late, not realizing that my alarm had gone off, then I had to iron a shirt because the collar on this thing is way too 1985 for my personal taste. I got to work on time because we have a sick child, and mom stayed home with her, so the rush to get out the door was not as dire as is typically the case.
I was fine at work today. The team meeting was a positive experience for me medically, I was on task for the most part. The meeting wasn’t that great, as it was a bit of a logistical nightmare with my new boss in his current school using the video phone, and the rest of us in a conference room. We were able to be on the same page using OneNote, but we had some issues because our SharePoint portal was down.
It’s a frustrating time of year, because so much has to be done, but we’re also being asked to organize a ton of stuff for the beginning of next year. I am not sure where to start, but I know that I have to have as much done as possible before I leave work tomorrow.
While I have your attention, and trust me, I know those moments can be fleeting: I have cool kids. Today, my oldest worked very hard to learn how to ride her bike without the training wheels. She’s been very frustrated because all of her friends have those extra wheels off, and she doesn’t. Today, not only was she pedaling up and down the street like nobody’s business, her dad was able to pay attention to it without his mind wandering to the seven-thousand other things he typically thinks of while keeping his children safe on the mean streets of our home town. I had the baby with me, we sat in the grass while the girls rode their bikes. It was a lot of fun.
I emailed with the vice principal at a local high school today, that is close to home, but not in the school district in which I am employed. There’s a possibility that I will be the new announcer for their football and basketball programs next year. I have spousal approval, now I just have to get hired.
I think that’s all that’s running through my mind right now.
