Surviving Friday

Strong sleep led to a strong start. Breakfast was a short stack of four Eggos with syrup. Fired straight into work from there. Calls from half eight thru until half eleven then talked to a colleague for the better part of an hour. He was in a dark place, bubbling over with frustration from several different directions. I was feeling a bit of the same, like the walls of the trash compactor closing in. Lunch was soup and Stouffer’s panini again, Campbell’s Chunky Butter Chicken and turkey club respectively. Had a chat with my boss after lunch and he was really feeling my comment about being in survival mode. I feel like the world is simply trying to get by at this point. Had a couple of meetings in the afternoon. Not sticking with meeting free Friday afternoons, that will change going forward, calendar is blocked for the next fifteen weeks now. I finished up with work shortly after five and marched to the kitchen. As soon as I flicked on the lights my motivation abandoned me. I settled for breakfast samidges for dinner. I had some issues with the new carton of eggs. I found it impossible to open and quickly saw why once I cut the cardboard and pried it open. After eating and doing the dishes I went down and played some NHL20, I’m pushing to finish my season. Then I tried to watch the Leafs but they were on TSN. So I watched the IT Crowd and roared with laughter until bedtime. But at bedtime I started thinking about a stressful meeting I have upcoming and couldn’t sleep. I disappeared from consciousness between eleven and twelve.
