phynckeToday I am getting sh*t done. I feel productive. I am going through stuff. Taking stuff places. Just dealing with stuff. Feeling like I want to get sh*t done. I better capitalize on this feeling because it does not happen very often that I feel this way. Usually, I mess around on the computer and waste lots of time reading Reddit. So getting stuff done today. I hope the feeling lasts til tomorrow. I would like to be productive tomorrow too. That would be good. I am serious. This is so rare - I better jump on it. I am not one of those people who was productive during the pandemic - that was not me. I am productive at work but at home I am usually pretty lazy and chill. Anyways. Glad to be getting sh*t done.
Started a new book this week - for a book group at work and I am really liking it. It is AAPI Month and we are reading The Woman Warrior by Maxine Hong Kingston. I am on the second chapter and I am really into it. Right now it is kind of a retelling of the Mulan tale and loving that so this is cool beans. I run the book group at work so that is fun. They buy us books and we have a discussion about them every little while. Free books? Sign me up - let me run that. I love giving people books. We have been reading really good books too. Alternating fiction and non-fiction. Excellent stuff. I am in two book groups right now - one for work and one with family and friends. Keeping busy with that. I love to read so that is good. The family and friends book group moves slow and is on a break right now. We just finished the book on misogyny so that was very intense and we needed a break.
This week at work was very busy and I like it better that way. I prefer to have a lot to do. So that is good. The University is asking us to go back to work in July. We can go back voluntarily in June but it is mandatory in July. They just sent out a draft document about flexible work arrangements so I think they are going to let us decide how we want to go back. I appreciate that. I am thinking a 3/2 schedule. Three days in the office and 2 days work from home. Variable for when I need to work in the office more. Hope they let me do that. Will see what they say.
So I did this thing - I have this massive "to read" pile of books in my bedroom and it was not really one pile. There are piles all over the place. So I decided to create a google spreadsheet and input all the books in there to try and organize it all. I am still working on it right now. Almost done with it. Right now I have 57 books in the list. I have more books - these are just my books to read. I don't think this will stop me from buying more books but maybe I will start reading the pile and get at that. It is kind of fun to have a scrollable list of titles and authors there. I put publish date and number of pages because I like to know that. Anyhoo. This is part of my getting sh*t done thing. I started this a while ago and have been chipping away at it. The books are still in piles but now I have the list. I will let you know how many are in the final thing when I am done with this.
Anyhoo. Feeling good. I have been going out without a mask. I take a mask with me - but outdoors I have not been wearing it all the time. That is kind of nice. Feels like things are ok. California is retiring the tier system on June 15 so that goes away and we will see what happens then. Situation normal? I don't know.
I want things to be OK everywhere - like in India and Brazil and other places. I want everyone to get the covid vaccines too - we need to make that happen. It is in everyone's interest to make sure the globe is vaccinated.
Hope all is well with you where you are. Take good care.
