Life is incredibly boring these days.
The distance ed class I'm doing this week is more or less a one-on-one with one paying customer and some GE staff who're shadowing, and while everyone's very pleasant the material isn't anything I wake up in the morning going "oh joy, I get to cover that today." Some topics are more fun than others.
Next week I go to North Dakota for three days of training which should be sort of interesting since I've only been there once, briefly, and never trained there.
And then the week of Thanksgiving comes up and I've got that whole week off because I have, effectively, nine days of vacation/floating holiday left to take before the end of the calendar year. Carole, on the other hand, doesn't have that whole week off so imagine me, at loose ends, just sort of hovering around the house all week until Thursday comes.
I'd like to get out and do more hiking but I had a cold last weekend and didn't feel up to it. Perhaps this weekend I'll feel better and go out on Saturday. Can't hike on Sunday because I have to fly to North Dakota and all. Maybe I'll do some more hiking the week of Thanksgiving, provided we don't get a lot of early snow that socks in all the trails. (Yes, I can snowshoe, but necessarily one goes shorter distances and doesn't have ready access to water from streams once you're dealing with a couple feet of snow.)
My evenings are pretty blah lately. I get off work, go pick up Carole (when I'm in town), and by the time we're home and done with dinner it seems like we've got about ninety minutes before we have to do our evening checklist and then make Carole go change for bed and unwind. (If she's not in bed reading and unwinding by nine she won't be tired and ready to turn the lights out at a reasonable hour, and then she'll be horribly unproductive and groggy the next day.) I need to think of something interesting and fun to do in the evening, something I can look forward to... but all I can really think of lately is cooking and baking projects, and we don't need any more food in the refrigerator or baked goods in the freezer. We're well stocked.
Sigh. Bitch, bitch, bitch.
