fredericksI'd been very busy these last couple of weeks with union/work stuff. Our contract expires on January 31, and so myself and the other union reps were in negotiation meetings with management. Painful, protracted negotiation meetings. Every day for me last week started around 6 am and I didn't end up in my bed until 1 or 2am the following day. We finally ended up drafting points for ratification Friday morning, with the nurses voting to support it that evening. I had my first full night of sleep Friday night. Had to run around Saturday doing errands, but I feel like laying out in bed today. I get the feeling this week is not going to be pleasant.
My H.L.P. Jo and I are planning a London/Paris trip this fall. We were at first looking at packaged tours, but I think I persuaded her that we should just putt around on our own. I'm pretty sure we're both most keep on London, so I've been eyeballing hotels and sites, and then we'll take transportation over to Paris for a day trip or two.
On the funny tip - my dad has become a Game of Thrones fanboy. We have one DVR box in our home. I seem to have monopolized most of the recording. Problem is, when it records two shows at one time the cable box switches the channel over to the first show, essentially hijacking the TV until one of the recordings is complete. Dad was in the middle of watching basketball when the DVR started recording Archer and Game of Thrones, so the game got preempted. So he came to me yesterday morning and said "you recorded that show, that one where they were trying to kill the king?" and I was all "oh, yes, ha!" Now he's been going through and watching episodes in random order. And I have yet to actually watch more than ten minutes of the first episode. Good times.
I hope the gyms have started to empty by now. At one point during downtime in negotiations, I rallied some of my colleagues in line dances to stay awake (which, btw, underlined my belief that The Cupid Shuffle and Cha-Cha Slide are black wedding staples because they totally didn't know what the hell I had them doing) and I realized how little I've been moving lately because the stretch from those few movements felt wonderful. I'm much more deconditioned than usual.
