The last two days have been pretty good. 😊

The last two days have been pretty good.  😊  I'm working on getting a certification so that I can get the job I want.  I had to do a bit of setup to get ready for that but it's ok.  I like learning new things.

I am on Zoom now.  Probably late to the party compared to everyone else since so many people are working from home currently, but better late than never!  I joined a tutorial meeting before actually using it for my class.  You would think that would keep me from doing something goofy on the first day of class, but it did not.  😂😂😂  The teacher asked us to introduce ourselves.  For those of you who don't know you are supposed to be able to use the space bar to temporarily unmute yourself in Zoom, but it wasn't working for me.  Later when I typed in the chat my text was down a few lines.  Obviously, that is where my spaces went.  😛  Lesson learned - pay attention to where your cursor is!

Since I'm in a class that has a start time I had to get my schedule on track.  I wasn't sure at first if I was going to be seen on video or not (I wasn't), and if the teacher was going to keep us muted by default (he did), or if there were going to be breaks (there were), so I got Shaun on my schedule to help with the dogs - just in case.  Booka  spent Wednesday sleeping in my room - snoring as usual.  Faith napped in with me for a while today, but they mostly stayed on the couch.  I'm good either way, but I wanted to be prepared.  It has worked out.

If this is a taste of what working from home will be like then I am extremely happy.  That was my plan even before the plague happened, but I imagine that it would be even easier now that it is basically mandatory in a lot of cases.  Regardless, getting out of bed and letting the dogs out, then getting some yogurt and tea and heading to my bedroom full of light and succulents to do nerdy stuff on the computer has been really fun and fulfilling so far.  For the last two days I've fed my animals on my first break, had lunch with Shaun, and done small errands like pay bills online (or just stretch and look at my plants) at my last break.  Then when the class is over I clean litter boxes and my chores (as well as the "work day") is over with.  I could REALLY get used to this.

Anyway, I guess that's enough rambling.  We took a walk today and I'm sweaty so I'm off to shower and if I'm being honest I'll probably crash soon.  I'm not upset, though - I want to be ready for my last day of class.  I hope you all are doing well and staying safe!  ❤
