Today started out with my desire to recommit to walking/fitness. This was not a good month after doing so well in March and April. I am going to try to start June off with 10K a day for the first week and take it from there. 5 days at a time, don’t need to do 7.
Was struggling already to concentrate on work when there was a knock at the door and it was Gene. He is my oldest grandchild, named after my Father who crashed his float plane and died in 2004. In 2007 Gene was born and I cannot fathom that he will be 13 in less than three weeks! I managed to get to Cranbrook just hours after he was born and there was so much joy.
He rode here on his bike to mow my lawn, weedeat and help set up the pool! What a kid, made my month. He was cheery and helpful, we even moved a plant to have the pool in a more private, sunny spot, at least three feet east of last years position, ha-ha. It will take a long time to fill now and warm up but it is good timing with the hot temperatures expected. We had a great visit and it seems that since we stood close last he had grown taller than I! At the last moment before he left we had a good long hug, my second one in all these days.
Ashlée brought me a grocery and beverage run and hung out on the hammock with us for a while and then made a run to my work for some papers and a frozen yogurt stop. It was almost like real life again. We talked about having a bring your own everything BBQ on Saturday for family only and using my projector to show a movie on the outside wall. Will have to see what the weather does. It is soon the shortest night of the year. It is only just dark now and it is 10:20 pm.
I spent time tonight taking a Payroll Knowledge Evaluator. I don’t have any designations and it would go a lot further in my world if I did. There were a lot of questions that I would not have to deal with in real life as the software is there to calculate and other options to double check. There were only 26 questions with 2 hours to complete so you can imagine they were not easy. I had a wide range of success but for not studying nor doing much in federal world any more I am happy. Funny I got so high on the 2nd level.
Payroll Compliance Legislation 41% ( I alway look every thing up in case it changed or I don’t remember it properly)
Payroll Fundamentals 1 59%
Payroll Fundamentals 2 94%
Not bad for an accidental career although I can’t believe this honour roll girl is even sharing these scores!
