So as I may have mentioned before, spouse and I are both federal employees. So today is first day of furlough for us during shutdown. I’m excepted, he isn’t, which means I’ll be doing some work but I’m only intermittent, so it’s sort of as needed work. Today I did a little over four and half hours of work, I spent a half hour putting away all the clean clothes I’ve been ignoring, and I did three hours of virtual continuing education (not through or for work, because that isn’t allowed during a shutdown, but on my own dime that I would otherwise be doing at night). I’m already bored.
I’m trying not to fixate on finding jobs for S22 to apply to. He can (and will) do this himself and while he likes to bounce ideas off me and has always been happy for my assistance in the past, I could see myself accidentally annoying him. So I’m trying to not do that.
Other exciting activities for me this week include getting my shingles shot and going to the dry cleaner. Necessary, but if THOSE are the highlights, then I better really work on finding a hobby before I retire…
