Today is my last day of work before the furlough and I am feeling ready, which I wasn't at the beginning of the week. Yesterday there were recommendations for two tech on-line learning sites that are going to be free for April, so I'm looking forward to seeing what courses I can take thru them. I really hustled this week and got a lot done to set things up the best I could. My Engineering Manager is still pushing to get one of the large work efforts done before our summer sale, which means it has to spin up mid-April. He's got a lot of ground to cover with no PMs just to keep the lights on and running a project without a PM is too much, so there's still a slim chance I'll get called back early.
Our Governor extended our shelter in place to May 4 yesterday. I knew it had to be that way considering they are saying the peek will be mid-April, but was secretly hopeful it would be shorter. If I am out for the entire 6 weeks I would really like to get to my Sister's at the beach, so if it stays at May 4 I could get down there for a quick visit at the tail end.
I've lost 4 pounds this week, so good progress and I'm starting to feel more comfortable in my body. I have to maintain 3.5 pounds lost per week in order to achieve my 6 week furlough goal of reaching wonder-land. I know it is too high but I've never been in a position like this where all I have to do is to take care of myself, so it will be my primary focus and I'll see where I can go. My thoughts so far on Noom are mostly positive and I will sign up after the two week trial period.
Walked over to my landlord's to pay the rent this morning, right at sunrise... really enjoyed it, so I'll try to do most of my morning walks at that time. It'll help me keep to a schedule, altho I do fully intend to sleep in now and then as well.
Happy Friday everyone... hanging int here and hope y'all are too.
