It's one of my work from work days today (instead of working from home) and I actually had a performance review with my supervisor. Nice to see that one of my goals of improving my attendance and general health sure seems to have been going in the right direction! I actually had 8 months without a sick day, apparently, and while in November/December/January I had quite a bit of time off, much of it was on short term disability, so it doesn't count. Of course, I had to remind him that I did end up having 2 1/2 days off with the flu already in January ... but hopefully I can keep the trend going and not be sick enough not to work for months and months again!
So, got home for lunch today, and it's beautifully sunny out and I trundled the four dogs out into the back yard. Unfortunately, I didn't know that the mail carrier was just crossing the street to come to our drive, and Imp and Elf immediately slipped out through a small hole in the fence into the front yard. Elf was dancing around hoping for attention, and Imp was dancing around barking because he wasn't sure of his reception (apparently he needs to learn that if you don't bark at people they will be more likely to approach you in a friendly manner themselves). They of course would NOT come when I was calling them, and I had to chase them around the car a couple of times before I was able to pick them both up and pop them back into the house. Bad doggies!
Of course, much of that is our fault as there are a couple of spots on the fence where boards have been knocked out or simply rotted so that they fell off ... and then the section of fence by the shed where it got knocked down when the house next door was being demolished. I'm hoping that on Thursday we have decent weather and Maxx is awake enough during the day that we can actually get these spots finally dealt with!
