March 16 & 17

My ‘weekend’ Monday and Tuesday.

3/16: Didn’t do too much today, my work email, couple of records to send, pet stuff, bird stuff, yard stuff. I did finish my book and started a journal of my thoughts that I don’t want to publish to the internet. We had tornado warnings all day, schools closed and lots of businesses closed – we got the squall line at around 8:30 last night – our lights flickered on and off a few times but thankfully we didn’t lose power. (Got a message today from Shirley that their big pine tree went down!!

Messaged with an old co-worker from Jordan, we worked on the PRESTIJ project together. The ministry needed some info (that we gave them) that they couldn’t find. I didn’t have the info either since I’d emailed them from my work email, and that has been deleted since the start of the current administration when they dismantled USAID and the implementing partners all had to fold, too. Before Mike left for yoga he came back inside to say that SIRIUS/XM was making him sign in from his phone, so I went to my Notes app to look up the username and password for him and lo and behold – there was the info that my coworker was asking for!! I am glad to know the ministry is using the solution we built, it took a lot of brainpower, computer power and patience to get this system from our test environment to their production environment.

3/17: tried to figure out if I have my Hep A and Hep B and possibly my Typhoid vaccines since those are good to have especially if travelling to Vietnam which I hope I will be in three weeks! Good thing I save every email LOL because I searched Hepatitis in my hotmail and found an email from the Med in Jordan saying that my blood test results showed I was not immune and I replied that I would set up my appointment and ‘bring my paperwork’ I think that was for when I was hired at the State Department. So I do have the Heps which is good. It looks like I would have gotten vaxxed for Typhoid before going to Jordan but I just don’t have the record. My “paperwork” is somewhere. I met up with my new coworker for coffee and we chatted for 2 hours! She’s my age and recently retired, we have enough in common to talk for 2 hours. She will be working at Element, she is going to love it, I’m excited for her. Got most of my tax documents together to plug into the account’s site. Got some CDs mailed. Lazed around with my guy Uli and then chill time with Mike. No photos taken today either but I had the Bluebird couple at Fierce BirdBuddy so many times. They are so photogenic. I did kind of tear my office apart looking for my medical documentation from Jordan, it’s somewhere. UGH for a knowledge manager I am the worst about organizing MY files. But there were plenty of things I don’t need so it’s time to get rid of that crap like I did before we went to Jordan. Two peaceful days, be nice, bye for now.
