The Horse survives a 15-hour work day

Actually, it was a pretty satisfying day, But it WAS long! I taught my 8 AM to 9:20 AM psychology class and then went to an all-staff meeting at JFK University for my afternoon big kid job. Then I went back to the afternoon job site and printed out five progress notes. By the time I was done, it's was 2:30 PM, so I called my afternoon kid client's mom to make sure we were on. Because it was our last day together, we took a long hike at Black Diamond Mines, and then planted some corn, sunflowers, green beans, and tomatoes at his house. By the time I stumbled into my house, it was 7:45 PM, and I was pooped. But I still had to go play bass with a friend's band, as their regular bass player has gone into rehab. When I got home, at 11 PM, I realized I'd been going for 15 hours straight without a break. It was then that I opened a bottle of wine. I'm glad the hike was beautiful. We saw Indian Paintbrush, Indian Warrior, and several other wildflowers. We saw cows and turkeys and vultures, but no rattlesnakes. I am now safe at home, eating Indian Creamed Spinach. Have you had days like this? At least I don't have a meeting until 10 AM tomorrow. That means I have ten hours and five minutes to play some guitar and then sleep.

Sleep is good! Yesterday, I only worked for ten hours or so and then blew off band practice (Country band) to get progress notes done. I was in bed by Midnight. But I'm up erly today to ive an exam. After that, I "relax" for a spell.

I seem to either have days that start early and end late with. I breaks....or I have slow lazy days when I putter and spend a lot of time just doing quiet jobs.

I have several that begin early and end late. But they usually have a few breaks in the middle. I didn't even get to MyLot! The Humanity!

I used to have some very full-on days but rarely nowadays.

I suppose a few days like that are good. But I'd like to relax a bit more. At least I wasn't chasing my tail. I may have forgotten to mention that I printed out my exam for Wednesday and doubled back to the College to get 42 copies made.

@TheHorse My best days at work was when I had the photo-copier churning out 50 sets of work-books, the fax machine was humming and the printer going as well. It just about started the adrenaline going sometimes.

I like those days, but only if once in a blue moon and even less so on corporate Americas watch unless they are actually doing something good for once. Glad you had a fulfilling day. and fun from the sound of things. 15 hour days are much better that way.

It could have been. But it was taken two years ago from the same place we hiked to yesterday. It's that green right now.
