TGIF

Ahh. what a good nights sleep will do. But, getting another one tonight will help even more.  Though when I got up this morning it was a good hour before my eye felt like it didn't have something foreign in it every single time I blinked. I'm sure it's just the contact lens. It's finally feeling better now and so I'm hoping I can at least get most of the day in work wise.

One of our employees complimented our owners/managers in our general team chat on how great it is that they had invested in the technology a couple years ago to have everyone set up to work from home and with everyone having to be at home now, it was just really a seamless transition for us all. Even our receptionist can do the phone system we have from her home and everyone's cell phones are linked to it. We can even transfer calls to each other from our desktop. On Monday we are having a virtual company "town hall" meeting online.

Our shed got all roofed yesterday afternoon, so now it's all dried in. Dh will get started on the siding. Not sure now when the mason will get to come and do the stonework. Starting tomorrow our state is on a stay at home order, like many others. We also had some guys come yesterday (planned quite awhile back) to put some curbing in around parts of our lawn. It looks really nice, and today they are coming back to do our neighbors lawn, as they wanted this done, too.

Since I have to go into the eye dr again tomorrow morning, and since I'll be in  the city, I'm going to stop in to a store and try to get a few groceries. I don't want to stop in, but at some point soon we'll need a few more things. We are about out of milk and I'd like to try and get more eggs. Earlier this week I tried to order like 5 or 6 things from Walmart.com that supposedly were all in stock. They've only shipped one of the items. Everything else is still out of stock/order on hold.

Well, I've managed to work for a few hours, but I can tell my eye is straining and starting to feel again like I've got something in it. I'm going to take a break for an hour or so and hopefully that will help. 

I still  have things to do work wise and personal wise that need to get done. Our company is transitioning 401k companies and I need to register/sign in to the new one, which I haven't done yet because it's too much reading. I need to see if I can get my prescriptions refilled since I doubt I can even get into see the dr for my annual check up. I need to try to submit my eye doctor bills to my health insurance and see if they will cover them. I need to get the census done online, which apparently needs to be done by next Wed. But, right now I'm going to go take a nap.

  2. So glad your eye is getting better, and you are able to sleep. I think this is a technological wake up calls to a lot of businesses. Internet is not a luxury but a necessity, and needs to have through investment in remote connectivity. Our organization has a lease through 2021, but this has shown we could get by with a lot less physical office space.

    1. yes, I think lots of people could work remote rather than be in an office. I also think a lot more students could get their degrees online, rather than the exorbitant cost of attending a university.
