Much better
A day of rest has done me a world of good! Granted, I have still more tabs open today, but I now have the brain power to start to deal with them, and a good hour or two in which to do so.
Mom is also feeling better; her test results are back, and say not only "Not Covid", but "Not the flu" as well. She still sounds like she gargled rocks for fun, but she thinks she'll be up to doing her Wednesday afternoon volunteer work. I am personally anticipating another request to take the dog on her evening walk when I get home from work for exactly that reason, but expecting it is better than being surprised by it. I'll probably see what I can do to take it easy at work with that in mind. I love Molly the dog, but our outings usually involve moving at a faster pace than I care to, and with more vertical movement than I'm used to compared to my mostly horizontally aligned job.
Speaking of my job, one of the reasons Sunday was tiring was because it was our wedding fair, where we show off our options to a bunch of people looking to get married in the hopefully near future. While I was able to stay behind the scenes for all of it, I did have to go in two hours earlier than usual for Just In Case scenarios. As a fun bonus, my car stalled out while I was turning off the interstate off-ramp on my way to work! Thankfully, turning it off and on started it right up again, but I haven't be able to call my mechanic and be like, "Hey, what's up with that?" yet. It's pretty high on my to-do list for Thursday.
The saving grace of Sunday was that I got to play with fondant for the first time in years. We had a birthday cake order for a veterinarian's birthday today, and my boss knows I'm both skilled at making fondant figures and love to do it, so she asked me to make some paw prints to decorate the cake with—and, since I had a bit of extra time, graciously allowed me to make a dog figurine to put on the cake as well! I made a chocolate lab with a dopey grin on its face, wearing a cone 😁 The coworker who put everything together sent me a picture of the final product today, and I'll see about uploading it sometime soon!
Anyway, Monday I had to go in two hours early again, since I was the only one available to work. Usually my solo days are Sundays, but I made it through Monday okay. I had to make a batch of naan, which I feel is more work than it's worth, especially for just one person, but I got it done. I was still physically and mentally exhausted by the end of it, but, as mentioned, today really helped me recover.
I think that's all I have to say at the moment? Time for me to catch up on my hygiene now, I think.
