My Co-Worker Sleeps On the Job

People on Facebook keep telling me that *IS* his job, but I still think he's slacking. He should be sleeping on me, if nothing else.

How's everybody today?

We're doing pretty good. Shawn just spent a good portion of the morning setting up a "standing desk" in her living room office, because her back has really started acting up now that she's had to leave all her ergonomic furniture at the office. Before anyone suggests it, she does have a lot of back exercises she can do (and has been doing) from all the PT sessions she's had over the years. Shawn is actually pretty good at keeping up with those at home, honestly.  Better than I would be, I think.

Mason is still conked out, though I think I just heard his voice. Ironically, his spring break starts today for Saint Paul Public Schools. The college might be back "on" though.  At least one of his classes was already set up for electronic learning, but the other was an art class. I have no idea what he's going to be doing for that now. Shawn found us a project to DYI a cat tent, and, if we get too stir crazy, we may try it. I don't feel I need to keep him entertained. He's sixteen, after all, but he was complaining the other day of feeling like a lot of his hobbies are passive, rather than creative. Which I get. Mine are pretty passive, too, though I end up with a novel at the end....

Our weekend was pretty good. I had a lovely (and much needed) gaming session with my regular Star Trek folks. The GM and I had conspired to do something rather surprising with my character, and hopefully that didn't shock the other players too much. (It was fun, he went rogue.)  Then, I spent much of Sunday writing up a final scene for everyone, which was way too much fun. 

We had a few actual PHONE calls, too.  (What was old is new again.) I talked to my folks--after a failed attempt a Zoom, which normally works nine times out of ten for me, and my friend Sean M. Murphy.  

The weather was the only thing that didn't cooperate. Saturday night, during the game, Minneapolis/St. Paul was having a fairly intense thunder storm. The GM reported hail over in his side of the Twin Cities.  It was just dreary and miserable most of Sunday, too. Not great for getting exercise. Today, at least there will be more sun. Shawn and I are already planning on where we'll go for our daily walk. 

My stomach just growled. I should make myself a late breakfast. I got up this morning and started baking bread. We are out and Mason put in a request for the herb bread I made before, because it made half-way decent sandwich bread. I'll go toast myself a bagel and get the herb filling ready for that.

Stay well everybody!
