2/16/21 -- Well, since I started working in that latter part of Oct., I have been trained twice. The first training was training to handle payments from the other side of the company. Then, a couple of weeks ago, I was asked if I was interested in a new position. The new position is a Credit Specialist, which means that I will be fielding the calls that would be transferred by Payment Specialist and Customer Service agents. I have more access to see and do more plus I was trained to handle loss prevention too. I do actually like what I am doing, it is great that I don't have to leave my home to go to work. With all this snow and the deep freeze that we have been in, in my neck of the country.
I am still getting out of my place, thought. I know my tendency toward depression, so I have to make the effort to get out and exercise and socialize. I have kept my membership with my local Y, along with going to bible study at the church I attend, and the zoom study that we do 3 days a week.
I was asked to watch 3 children, while the dad when to California, to drive home with his wife, the children's mom. So, I stayed at their place for 4 days and 3 nights, as they came home on Friday afternoon. That was a different experience for me because the oldest is 13 yrs old, the next in line is like 9 or 10 then the youngest is 4 yrs. The difference was in the fact that the older tow had their chores, so like I didn't have to do any dishes or any real cleaning, which was the weirdest thing. However, I just couldn't stand not doing anything, so I wiped the counter and the stove top down really good. Otherwise I did some reading and bible study in the work book that.
Of course, there was a snow storm while I was there and we started getting into the deep freeze. Staying at their house was a nice treat, like a vacation. They had a king size bed, a nice big bath tub, of which I did take advantage of, since I haven't had a bath in a long time. I always take showers since the bathtub really isn't suited for baths Anyway, the last night I was there, I ended up sleeping in on the last day. I actually slept in til like 8:30 or something. Thankfully, their oldest boy had made breakfast and when they sent their littlest sister down to make sure that I was awake before making my food and coffee and putting it on the table. I hadn't slept that late in a very long time, part of it is due to the fact that I don't have cats that make sure I am awake to feed them.
I was home by 6ish on Friday. I sure missed my cats, tho. I missed my cat that sleeps with me every night. All of my cats were very glad to see me and have me home.
