Staying a little longer at work was a good decision....

Happy Wednesday afternoon from this side of the planet 
. It's another warm sunny day. 
I chose to stay a little longer till 12:30 at work and get finished with what I started. I reached at 8, found the same spot, giving me enough sun and pleasant breeze.
. I started with bit of mylotting to warm up
and then went ahead to finish the reports. I finished the one that was left half yesterday and then began a new one. Around 10:15, I got restless, my stamina to sit before the laptop gave up, I got up and went around the B block for a stroll. It was so good to get some stroll and to see so many blooms. Then I decided to wind up my laptop and come back home. But on second thought, I thought of spending some time more and do some more decluttering of art and craft cupboards. I started with the ones that I had discarded yesterday. The buttons were taken out and kept aside, so were pista shells, pom poms, satin ribbons... and so on...all that can be reused. I have dumped everything together in a big ziplock. Glad that my young assistant teacher was there. We kept chatting and discussing things as we did it. So, it was not tiring and boring. The used chart papers were kept aside. We can make use of them for cutting activities. Many children struggle with scissors and cutting along the shapes. A thick chart paper is a good way to start. A lot of clearing up could be done and doing it in team was fun. Now, we plan to bring some shoe boxes or other unused boxes from our home, smaller ziplocks to sort things and a label tape to label everything. That's our plan for the next two days. My assistant is willing to come at 10:30 and we can spend two hours together and get done as much as we can. 
Happy that I chose to stay back and get started. Came back home around 1, feeling hungry and had a hot meal. Now, I am all energised for some chores.
I have already spent some time here after my lunch. I read the recent discussions and responded to quite a few of them.
Now, I will see you later in the afternoon after some chores and my power nap.
Enjoy your time.

@arunima25 Naps are always nice. I used to sleep the second half of my lunch hour at work. Other associates thought I was silly but the bosses told them to leave me alone and let me sleep.
I did take my morning nap and now I'm awake for a while again. Thank you. I hope you sleep well tonight.

@DaddyEvil I will be here for another 20 minutes and take care of notifications. I earned this after a productive day. Mylotting helps me relax. . As such there is no rush to go to work in the morning..I can go a little late too.
Your boss was caring.

She is a blessing. Very enthusiastic and eager to learn. She is 23, just two years older than my elder daughter. We share a good rapport at work. And her company did make a lot of difference. Not only the load was shared, talking and laughing made it fun too.

It is easy if everything is organized and you are doing just that although the work may find a bit boring but you have company

I like things sorted and organized. A sense of space is always welcoming. I am more productive and at ease if things are organised and sorted.
She is a great company. Chatting with such bubbly, enthusiastic youths is always energizing. I enjoy working with her. She was a big help.

@arunima25 Young people can do that, can't they? And it's the same with pets. Our friends agreed to have a friend's younger dog as they are expecting their old dog to pass away soon but the old dog has found a whole new energy and looks like living for quite a few more years. lol

@JudyEv Yes, they can. I am always feeling young at heart, though my knees and energy level don't agree. I am working with young children and young adults for most part of the day. They make me feel young.
Good for the old dog. They must be happy with this decision to bring a new dog

I can't afford to sit too long. My body gets stiff and restless. Also, my eyes get tired and a mental exhaustion too.
My assistant is a young 23 years old. Very enthusiastic and keen to learn. Her company is really good.. she is almost the same age like my elder daughter. I enjoy working with her. She fills me with that youth energy

wow you plan so much ahead. Keeping chart papers in store so that they can be reused is actually a great idea. Wish our teachers did that. They made us waste so much paper!

I am all for sustainability and reducing the waste. They will make good use in the new academic year. You can check my last post..all the decorations for Christmas in the picture that I posted have been made from waste products like used newspaper, cardboard, pista shells etc.

Sounds like a productive and fulfilling day! It’s great that you took time to clear things up while making it enjoyable with your assistant. Decluttering always feels satisfying, especially when things can still be reused. The plan to organize with boxes and labels sounds like a great idea—it’ll make things so much easier in the long run! Also, taking a stroll and enjoying the blooms was a nice way to recharge. Hope you get some well-deserved rest after all that work!

I frequently do decluttering at home and at work. A clean sorted space looks welcoming and also makes me more productive. I can't work long on laptop at a stretch. I get mentally exhausted too along with feeling a need to stretch and walk around. The blooms are here till spring. It will be till March end and I like to enjoy it to the fullest.
Now it's 10:30 PM here and I am in bed. I want to myLot for a while before I hit the pillow. I have earned it after a good productive day.
