    Good morning,

    Thank you Runa for starting us. Great job on the scale. I have been trying to make sure my next dr apt was lower on the scale, gosh I hope so!!!

    Lana is lost in bread land and I ran to the store while it was not crowded.

    I am in for most of the weekend, so sleeping and napping are on the cards.

    Bought an egg slicer - lazy that I am. You can also slice strawberries/bananas/mushroom caps and olives. Just potential useful info.

    Air is still bad but not as bad as other places. Just tired of it.

    I will make an email to get apt with manager my sup told me Friday she doesnt have time to train me and I am not making production and I have 90 day notice. Our new manager is quality oriented not production oriented, so I need to know where that message came from......I am knitting and napping and trying to escape as much as possible.

    Wave to all who follow. Stay safe and sane out there.

    Hi y’all, my name is Mica! I’m from Austin and I’m a serial starter. I’m looking to join an online community and y’all seem so cool and awesome. May I join in your community?

    Good morning everyone~~

    Welcome to Mica in Austin!

    Runa thank your for getting us started, and cheers for your continuing in the right direction and getting your exercise. 🎉

    Sara - Mrs Monster is indeed a monster--actually a sadist. She is a miserable person, and she enjoys spreading her negativity to other people. Get yourself restored this weekend, even with the challenge of the air. 🧡

    Ethelbonnie - where is your partner moving to?
    As for covid travel, choose your airline and your seat wisely, and you will improve the quality of your flights.
    I booked American because I had to change planes to a different airline, and Capeair and American were in the same terminal at O'Hare.
    I booked a seat with more legroom in coach, which netted me less peeps around me. First class was packed, coach was packed, but very few people wanted to pay that in-between price of the front of coach, so I had empty seats around me.

    I wanted to fly Delta because they actually show you on their site that once you book a seat, the seat next to you is blocked. However, I would have had to change terminals....

    BBL

    SUNDAY

    Good morning,

    Almost good afternoon.

    Finished shawl for friend and will cut the ends and deliver. I also will do a little work at the church as it is food drop off day.

    Cooking, knitting and napping are also possibilities.

    The N95 face mask that I have been wearing is off white compared to the new one my neighbor gave me. Yuck yuck yuck.

    Made potato /hardboiled egg salad . Hope to make mushroom quiche and who know what else?? We shall see.

    Wave to all who follow. Stay safe and sane out there.

    Sara - Thank you for getting us started today.

    Yuck is right about that N95 mask, but boy, I am glad you have it!
    Cooking, knitting, and napping all sound wonderful.

    My FIL is doing better. He was able last night to get up all the stairs and could sleep in his bed. So he got much more sleep.

    We cracked open a jigsaw puzzle, so that will be a nice diversion to keep us busy.

    It seems Mom is making a nice rump roast with lots of vegetables for dinner. Yay!

    Everyone have a good day today.

    Good morning,

    Weigh in was okay and moving downwards.

    Have to email mgr to see if Monster's proclamation is mgmt message or not, just have to do it.

    Gifted my rainbow shawl and I may have another one set up - sent her to look at colors/texture before I buy.

    Air cooler at least. Quality not so much so I open windows for a short time only.

    Hang in there. Wave to all who follow. Stay safe and sane out there.

    Hello all!
    Tracy - love that cat pic! too cute!
    Sara - can they really give you a 90 day notice via email? Most performance improvement plans that I am aware of require signature by parties? Or at least acknowledgement of receipt and understanding? Be sure to highlight the I don't have time to train her part! Crazy - the two together. you are on notice, but we don't have time to train you.
    Lana - Good luck in the land of bread and honey? Do they have honey?? :smiley:
    Runa - congrats on steering away from the traps - that is most excellent!
    Mica - welcom
    Ethelbonnie and Sara - I honestly am not sure how all these people do it(including you). The air quality...not being able to go outside...breathing in that smoke. Must be so hard. And all those who have lost their homes and loved ones. So incredibly devastating. I am hoping for rain! Cooler weather, etc.
    Waves to all others. Hope you are all doing ok.

    Hello Everybody~~

    The House of Bread doesn't seem to have honey, which is probably a good thing!

    I am definitely jet-lagging myself. I sleep from 11PM to 3AM and then from 9AM to 11 or Noon. No idea what day it is. FIL is doing ok.

    Hang in there Sara~~

    Tracy, the kitty cat is hilarious!

    Waving to Lynn and all who stop by later on~~

    Tracy, the kitty cat is hilarious!

    That's my big boy, Toxin. He weighs about 25 lbs and he is curled up on a 12"x12" stool in that pic. We don't know why he started tucking his head in like that. It is recent. I call it his Garfield pose.

    Okay it seems Monster left out a very important word. I need to be finished with my TRAINING by December. Hmmmmm. Makes a big difference based on the conversation.

    So, while it is important to find a better/cheaper living situation --- I can breathe for a little while.

    Back to it for another half hour.

    *** September 15th ***

    Good morning everyone~~

    Sara - that horrible woman certainly did twist the facts up. That was smart of you to ask for a meeting with both of them there at the same time. Good for you!

    I'm trying to wake up. Last night was the first "normal" night of having MIL and FIL both sleeping in their bedroom with no one monitoring FIL, as he can now walk well with his walker and collapsing down hasn't happened for four days. Steady improvements....

    Good morning,

    Lana thank you for starting us.

    I forgot to ask for today off....so the first call I got this morning and woke me up was from Monster. Not the best way to start the day, but at least I am awake.

    Dr apt at 2:30 dinner with coworkers 5:30 and maybe a church zoom meeting at 7 so a potentially busy day.

    THURSDAY

    Good morning,

    Just couldnt do any better when I saw that picture.

    Calories galore last night dessert was mocha almond mud pie and yes I enjoyed it!!!!

    I turned off my fan last night and woke up earlier than usual and decided I might as well get up and spend time online..... laundry started as well.

    Windows open for a little bit -air quality is coming down for the first time in weeks which is a relief for a lot of us. Temperatures also make it easier for our fire fighters.

    Good morning Sara!

    My sister wrote me that it drizzled a bit the other day, so the air cleared quite a bit. Whew....hope it lasts for a while.

    Life here at the in-laws is so whacky, busy, and it is too easy to be constantly involved with something. I must try to get a walk in this morning. I will be the one doing grocery shopping, so that will add some extra steps - yay!

    Waving to Dawn and Lynn and Tracy and Runa and Kathryn and Maureen and EthelBonnie and Missy and anyone else who stops by later on~~

    Good morning,

    Monster wants to have weekly reviews as I am making mistakes on things I just learned..... Doesnt if follow logic that you are most likely to make mistakes on just learned items???? She just wants to irritate me.

    Not a lot on weekend to do list which is nice. Weather is cooler and air is getting better. I thought it would never end. Keeping good thoughts the firefighters dont have to work so hard for very long.

    Wave to all who follow. Stay safe and sane - do your Friday dance!!!

    Good morning Sara~~

    I just realized that what Monster is doing to you is bullying!
    Just awful.
    Sending hugs to you 🤗

    LOVE your friday pic Sara!
    Lana is correct. She is a big bully! I know you have gone to HR before, but document! keep documenting! Compare to what she does to others and if it is mostly you - accuse her of bullying/harrassment. it is not ok to bully at work either.
    My sister tested positive...unfortunately she visited my Mom probably during her contagious phase....hoping for light cases for both. Sister is sick - like a bad cold so far, no taste or smell. Wisconsin is crap show! Tests and hospitalizations going through the roof. And president comes and holds rallies, people gather for Packer games and UW Wisconsin is going to start playing football! Geesh! I will head home and play in my garden :smile:
    Have a great weekend everyone!

    Ladies I am well aware of it, I am also aware of how little HR does.....

    Lynn your garden is a wonderful place.... talk to the plants if you have to. Hope your sister fares well and your mother stays clear.

    I just shake my head at the mentality of people who want things to not change and so they do the things they are not supposed to and then wonder "hmmm??" how did I get sick?

    Work day is done and I am going to sleep for about an hour.

    Good morning,

    Lana- what a nice picture. Thank you for getting us started.

    I have 8 more minutes until noon. Went grocery shopping, got my haircut and then fell asleep again. It will be a day of a lot of sleep.

    Foodwise I am making new recipes and going back to some old favorites.

    Air quality is good enough to walk in again so that is also back on the to do list.
