59 of 100 ... Thursday is my Friday!

Why is it when I have a short week, it seems to be longer than when I have a normal week? Four-day weeks so often feel like 5+-day weeks, and this week was a doozy.  So glad that I backed out of deep water; all I could think about was bed and sleep.  And Friday is a day off!!


Gratitude Moments for Thursday
(were there any???)
1.  On Thursday, I was grateful that it was the last day of the work-week for me.  I have to say, I'm getting rather used to having the occasional Friday off! Something that never happened when I was teaching!
2.  On Thursday, I was grateful to have nothing to do in the evening ... sleep was all I wanted to do.
3.  On Thursday, I was grateful for having the where-with-all to take a stand. I know that at times, it's easy to treat people who make less than you as less than you, and this is something I experience at the company I work.  It infuriates me ... probably because I secretly suspect that my IQ is higher than any of theirs.  I usually say nothing, but this time, when demanded something that I knew would be difficult, especially in the light of all the other demands I was getting this week, I gently took a stand and said I would not promise it but I would do my best.  I was given a curt response and I repeated my stand.  Arrogance is something I'm finding I don't do well with ... watch my back arch and the $100 words come out!  At least I didn't get emotional (which used to be a common response for me!)
4.  On Thursday, I was grateful to know I had time over the next 3 days to get my head screwed back on.  A realization for me is finding that I need "me" time ... and if I could ever get caught up with life (there's still hope!), this "me" time will become invaluable!
5.  On Thursday, I was grateful for the small friendships I have at work.  There are a few, nothing that I classify as a BFF, but friendships that are nice and encouraging, nevertheless.  One of these friends came up with an idea today for her and I to write a blog ... that could be interesting and fun!  If it comes about, I'll certainly post it here!
