Yesterday was a much welcomed day of boring desk work. I was starting to get exhausted and worn out with all the events and days in the hot sun, it was about time for things to slow down.
My morning was relaxing. I woke up and was able to lay in bed for a little bit, doing some duolingo. I ate my breakfast at a steady pace, not having to rush like the previous days. There was no pressure of having a car to come pick me up. I took a nice walk to work and showed up a little after 8.
The work day was extremely boring and uneventful, but that’s something to be grateful for. My only complaint is that a coworker, right as I had started to work, seemed to really want some conversation. He talked to me (not with me) for about an hour, not taking any of the countless hints I tossed his way. This was the only thing that was somewhat exciting. I had a lot of work to catch up on, so I was pretty agitated at his obliviousness, but I can’t complain—that’s just the way things go. The day went perfectly after that. I got a lot of work done, but slowed down around three in the afternoon. I’m slowly building my stamina for boring desk work, yesterday was an extraordinarily productive day.
Around 4:30pm, after work (or I guess during work), I went to some shops in search of a shemagh. The past week spent in the field led to some skin reddening, so I’m preparing myself for future adventures.
I got home around 5:00pm, just when I had hoped to, and took off for my run. It was a bit slower than usual and I was huffing and puffing more than normal. I got home and noticed only one pair of socks and underwear remaining (those which I am wearing today) and decided it best I do my laundry. All the flurry had not granted me much free time for such activities, and I was seemingly cutting it close. I spent nearly two hours doing only half of my laundry—I had quite a bit of it. I went to bed pretty early.
I’m not sure if I can be saying that anymore though, because these days it’s typical of me to fall asleep around 8:30pm, so I guess it’s not early, but just my normal bedtime. Anyways, today will be another calm day I’m hoping. I’m slowly falling behind on some tasks though, and it seems like I might need to dedicate some of my weekend to writing a report I’ve been making very slow progress on.
