(Happy) New Year...
Well, that's over.
Tomorrow starts work again. My university has postponed the start of the semester to next week Monday. I, however, have appointments that were set before I left, and booked to be in person. I need to call those who signed up for such and ask them if they will accept either a phone call or an MS Teams video call. However, first I have an appt at the US Consulate to renew my passport, and before that I drop Benito at Grandma's for the day. I could work ahead and do some email now, but that's not gonna happen.
I had some good times. I had a lot of stress. I have my A1C test this Friday; I am dreading what the number might be. I haven't had any symptoms of raised blood sugar, but that's par for the course for me.
Benito is with me this week, as schools in BC have postponed their opening for a week due to Omicron. I have no idea how hard the week will be, between a full advising schedule, emails, plus talking with my coworkers and any meetings that are already scheduled.
I bought fun nail polish that I'd like to apply. I can do that during a work day, when I know I will spend hours not messing about with my hands: doing dishes, dealing with clothing in any way (sorting, doing, putting away), or otherwise all the things that typically make nail polish smudge. I hope I can keep them looking nice for at least a week.
I also want to try coloring my hair again. The first time didn't work very well: I did not use the whole package of color, because I wasn't doing all my hair. I think that was an error. I also think I should leave it in for a bit longer. I could tell the difference between the purple-hued hair and my regular brown, but basically no-one else could. *shrug* It wasn't a failure, it was a learning moment, and I can make more of a difference next time. I really want to be outwardly different, at least a little, in a way that doesn't damage me.
There has been so much money spent in the last month. I am really not comfortable with it. I also foresee at least two more minor expenses, one of them being Minecraft: Dungeons for Benito. I could see if Rick would be the one to buy that, but if so it won't happen until at least maybe 2 paychecks from now. *shrug* We'll see.
