Overall, lots of fun was had.
Since returning home, Ed's been working like crazy, picking up extra shifts whenever possible. He nearly got over 40 hours last week (which he isn't supposed to. They aim for a max of 35 or 36 hours a week for budgeting reasons.) His supervisor training class takes place next weekend, and come with a raise. I had one more week of training before the co-worker training me left for her medical leave and I've been taking on her duties full force for two weeks now. I've got another four to go before she returns. The weekdays are fine and dandy, but Friday & Saturdays are rough as it's just me doing two jobs. My co-worker has no problem accomplishing both for the two days but I am just not as fast as she is, so I am getting some extra help on those two days now.
I am back to swimming. My new suit finally came and was waiting for me when we got back. Ed had me do an exercise for Freestyle that made the stoke finally click in my head and make sense. I now spend the majority of my swimming working on that and the Back stroke. I've been working on my start for the backstroke which, requires a sort of backwards dive into the water. I've not very good at it. I've also finally started keeping track of my total laps I swim. Including warm up, I have been doing about 500 meters. Currently I am just making sure I meet that amount, but soon I'll be trying to add to it. Also soon I plan on slowly bringing in Butterfly or Breast stroke and working on those too.
That's about all that's been going on. I haven't been cooking much. Haven't been crafting much. The picture frame craft I had started and mentioned in a previous post is like 98% finished. But I made those with the intent of putting them at my desk at work, then I got a new position and I don't have a regular desk. I do while I'm covering, but in 4 weeks I'll be sitting somewhere else, doing something else so I don't have a place to keep them regularly. I've got yarn I've been looking for to crochet a hat I've wanted to make for a while now.. but now that it's about spring I'm not terribly interested in making a hat. I should get on it though, just so I don't forget how to! I haven't even been reading much. Mostly just working, and sleeping. And trying to see Ed in between the two tasks.
