Here, There and a Clean(er) Desk - It Was an Accomplished Day

Yesterday I started out at 7:00 am at the Radiology center to apologize to Dr Zach for having missed the meeting that had suddenly cropped up on my "My Chart" app. Fortunately, we both determined it had been a glitch in the system and it was just thoroughly enjoyable to see him again. I'm actually looking forward to my radiation therapy (which starts on Wednesday) because I'll get a chance to see him. I think I'm a bit homesick for my New Mexican deserts and high plateaus. 

Dr Zachary Wilson is in charge of my radiation 
therapy. I really like him a lot. As I mentioned 
earlier in the week, he's a New Mexican boy 
who moved up here and, like me, enjoys being 
in the waters of Minnesota. I feel quite confident 
in the care I'll get from him. That's good, because 
I'll be seeing him for fifteen weekdays in a row, 
starting on Wednesday morning. 

I then went to the Breast Center to give Emily an update, but she doesn't work on Friday. That was also just fine, so I pulled my car out of the parking ramp (wasn't even charged, it was such a short visit), and headed back home. I had a quick breakfast and started working on my desk. 

My desk wasn't QUITE this bad, but it wasn't good 
either. Although it is better now, it still needs some work. 
But, I'm going to try and go into the shop today. It'll be 
my first day at work since my surgery, and I really need 
to be sure I can work a full day so that Chickie can 
have Monday and Tuesday off next week. 

Note, I said working ON my desk, not AT my desk. My desk was overflowing with paperwork from this, that and the other thing, and notes from DH about things I needed to do, etc. I dove into the pile, and was quite happy by the end of the day when the mountains had been tames to mild foothills. It's not 100% the way I want it quite yet, but there are some pending things that have to be available, so they're front and center where they have to be. 

Very little in cyber space is truly deleted, but I have thousands 
of older emails that need to be eliminated to streamline my 
three email addresses which are active daily. So, I decided to 
do some cleanup yesterday. It was quite satisfying. I'm not 
finished yet, but I've got a good start on the main account. 

I then started catching up on emails. I've been trying to go through my emails, clear out old ones that I don't need/want any more and streamline things a bit. It's a lot of work, and a lot of deleting. I did it for one of the company emails a few weeks ago and have been quite happy with the results, now I started the other company email address - the main one. It's a lot of work, but it's getting done chops and slices at a time. There is something satisfying about deleting 100+ emails at a single swoop again and again. At least it allows me to feel as if I'm getting somewhere. LOL 

I'm glad I actually gained a small amount of weight 
yesterday. I don't have any problem being in this range 
right now, but really don't want to get a whole lot 
lighter. 

And, on the good news front, I'm actually up 1/2 pound today. I had that "stew" for lunch, and the other half of a pork chop for dinner along with a small salad. I'm pleased. It's not a major accomplishment, but I'm still happy about it. So .... today I'm trying my first day at the shop. I'm hoping I can work without problems so that Chickie can take Monday and Tuesday off, giving her three days in a row to rest up and recuperate from the intense work schedule she's pitched in and worked. I'll have to check my budget, she definitely deserves something special for all of the extra work, and I can't guarantee I'll be back fully at any time just yet. Have a great weekend. I'm going to drink my tea, check a couple of things, have breakfast, and then wander to the shop. I'll be back on Monday. Good Ramadan to those of my friends who might be Muslim, and Slava Ukraini.
