This morning...

songbird — Sat, 16 Jan 2021 15:12:40 GMT

When I got dressed, I absently pulled up my pants (I did button the top button) I looked down puzzled why all the buttons on my pants were sill buttoned. That's how skinny my hips are. I just yanked them up with out thinking. Which means the last time I wore those pants, I pulled them down totally buttoned. Then I pulled out a belt in case my pants fall down.

Then I went to the computer, getting my things out to start work. I worked for a while, (about an hour) then realized it was Saturday. It's been one of those days.....

You'd thing after nearly a year of working from home, I would remember these things....but I don't.

It was almost noon yesterday before I realized it was Friday, and not Thursday yesterday.

I am really losing track of the calendar the longer this pandemic goes on!

I've been messing up so many things, I finally placed a large dry erase board in my kitchen, to post reminders for myself.

One day just seems to blur into the next, when you're basically isolated at home, carrying out the same activities every day. It's starting to feel like the Ground Hog Day movie.

Wish I could post that my hips are skinny, but I don't like to lie. Elastic is my friend.

Oh it's absurd just how skinny they are. I have men's hips, not women's....

I understand how hard it is to keep track of what day it is when you work from home....

I was freaking out this morning and felt I was in the Twilight Zone when I looked at the online Cable Programming Guide this morning, Saturday, and the Guide showed, 2:30 -3:30 PM "Fox NFL SUNDAY" when it's Saturday....I had to double check to see what day it actually was...I guess it was too costly for Fox to change the name of the Show to match the correct day of the week..😄😄😄

Lately, if it wasn't for the date and time on the bottom corner of my laptop screen I wouldn't know what day it is!

For me, a paper calendar by my desk is an absolute necessity. Look for the date at the bottom of my computer, or on the TV, then find what day of the week it is....

I am getting so bad at figuring out the days of the week. Yesterday I was wondering why no one had started to put their trash out for trash day. Our trash day is Wednesday. I ran to the newspaper and saw it was Friday.

Guess it really doesn't matter what day of the week it is. Well, except you have to keep track of trash day.

Since my dh started working from home, neither one of us can keep up. It doesn't help that sometimes he works weekends.

That is a fabulous problem to have!

We have to log in to our time sheets. I even have check out for lunch. Which is right now. They (the school watches you like a hawk) Since I worked one hour (believe me, they know....) on a Saturday, I have to work one hour less. 40 hours, 5 days a week. They aren't allowed to give overtime. That's what I miss about working on campus. You have freedom to go outside on lunch breaks, etc. I dust the house on breaks.

My pants story is a bit different. DH offered to drive to Costco, drop me off, and pick me up when I was finished. (My Costco is always insanely busy with a huge parking lot.). I got dressed quickly, and wondered why my pants felt so different in the store. I figured that I had gained more weight during Covid than I thought. When I attempted to put my receipt in my pocket, I realized that my pants were on backwards!
