Countdown to Hawaii

Tomorrow I’m off via China Airlines to Lihue, Kauai… then 2 days in Molokai. I’m so looking forward to this. My staff has wished me well… relax and enjoy and not think about work. THey’ll make sure things are taken care of. I’m glad to know that. My growing issue with work was delegating and trusting them to take care of the things that needed to be handled. We’ve got a lot of work to do but people aren’t stepping up like I wish they would.

I think my expectations are too great. I can’t help it. I just finished completing my DISC profile and am a (D)ominance (also) with a high (C) component. For Myers-Briggs, I clearly am an INTJ profile (alternative report: comprehensive INTJ profile.

I need to enjoy my vacation!

Mental health days

Just took 2 mental health days, Wed & Thurs.  First day was strange, I didn’t know what to do.  Shocked my system.  Didn’t sleep all that well and then tried to nap but only fitfully during the day.  At least I got to play some hoops later in the day.  Not at all that peaceful.

Second day, was a bit better but was suffering through some severe tooth pain from before.  Tooth pain causing big headaches and couldn’t think straight nor sleep. I finally located my dentist’s pills but it’s only a short term strategy. 

Overall, just tired, but was getting in the mood of forgetting work.  But got back in and there was 235 mails waiting for me, all just in the past 2 days.  Doing 3-4 jobs is starting to wear on me so need to be careful of my health.  Weather change and typhoon coming.  It’s wet and cooler now…

I need more mental days…at least more time to exercise.  Hoops was nice.  I think that’s what I need more of and less eats.  Oh well, hope next time I’ve got some time off, i’m less pathetic at relaxing on my day off.

cockroach and the toilet bowl

Huge 2 incher fell into the toilet bowl a few days ago. I couldn’t flush him down, somehow the bugger was able to hang on the side of the bowl. So I just left him in there to give me an opening… then yesterday, he did just that. He wandered to the far side and exposed himself. I took a shower hose and hosed him into the water. He was struggling mightily to swim back to porcelain ground but I wouldn’t budge. The water turned brownish from his coloring…. Then slowly flushed the toilet continually hosing him down with the shower hose. He drowned. RIP.
