I did run 3 miles today! I think it has been around three weeks since my last run? My legs feel a bit wobbly afterward, but I did it :-) I'll run again in two or three days. I'm probably not lifting weights until next week because I need to reserve my muscles and joints for whatever chores T will require for party prep. But we're not starting that until after B leaves tomorrow.
T has been off work and splitting his time between video games and long-term maintenance chores, such as fixing a loose and leaky faucet in the kitchen sink.
I think B has finished work also, and is now going through the belongings he had quickly grabbed from his condo, doing laundry, making phone calls about finding his temporary housing ... he seems in good cheer about it all ...
I'm the only one still working this afternoon -- after I type this I'll get back to it for a while, but I expect I'll quit at least one hour early if not two or three. I haven't yet seen an email saying we're all closing early.
Earlier this week my work inbox was at 400 emails after a week of travel and a week of COVID; now I have it down to around 20. I'm almost almost almost caught up with everything (except the final exam stuff, which increasingly looks like a Christmas Day event). Almost caught up with everything (else).
The house is sorta quiet now that both T and B are not working, nobody else is doing Zoom calls. And I have no more meetings on the calendar either.
I'm not planning on taking any time off next week, but after the final exam is finished I won't have much work to do at all. I will have caught up with everything by COB today, and nothing much will happen next week. So I might end up taking a bunch of time off. We'll see. First I need to actually do the fucking exam, by 11:59pm Pacific Time on Dec 26.
