    Worked. I was told that they’re going to have me work only Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday and see how that works out. Honestly, to me, 6 days/week was getting to be a lot, so I really don’t have a problem with it. I do suspect that on the days that I am working, I’ll have to do more prep since I suspect that they’ll run things down to nothing. So at the end of the day, I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m working the same number of hours. Plus...now I can go to the gym more often. So it’ll work

    I did talk to Jerry today. First I told him that the onions hadn’t been rotated, that I had to have someone else do it. He insisted that they had been rotated and I told him they hadn’t. He looked to see the dates they came in, and, sure enough, they hadn’t been rotated. His way of dealing with someone saying something negative to him is for him to walk away, which is what he did. But he did come back and I told him that he knows that the reason we separate the pickles on Friday is so that I can lift them on Saturday. I distinctly told him Friday that I could probably lift them once they were drained and they weren’t drained. He walked away but came back again. So I said to him “you were so proud of the fact that you were finished before I was on Friday. Do ya think this had anything to do with it? Do ya think”

    He said to me that Saturday is his day off. So that means you do a crap job on Friday? I don’t think so….. I’m sure (and this I can understand somewhat) that he wants to be done before me so that I can take him home. I can understand where he’s coming from, but that doesn’t make it right

    He did come in late today. Probably slept it off.

    Anyway, when I went to leave he said “ready?” for me to take him home. I just told him that I had a meeting.

    Honestly, I won’t hold a grudge, I’ll probably take him home Wednesday. But I do want the message to get thru and I think it will.

    Karen – I’ve tried going to a FB Marketplace because I would like a different bed for the guest room at the condo. I haven’t seen much on FBM. Maybe I’m looking at something incorrectly. What link do you use?

    Barbara – your drive sounds so scary! So glad to hear you are safe

    Tina – have fun at the concert. I’ll certainly be looking for ideas for food that can be transported. I’ve been asked to bring something to bowling next week when they’ll be celebrating Veteran’s Day and also the November birthdays. Right now I’m thinking cheese

    Rita – when I first saw that first picture, I was reminded of when we watch the space shuttle launches down in FL

    Vicki – congrats on the new vehicle. Tell us more about it. Color?

    Diane – welcome

    katla – so glad you had such a good time. You deserve it.

    Went to ceramics. I think tomorrow I’ll get to the gym to do a body pump DVD. I then have a doctor’s appt.

    Allie - I meant to ask you, did you see there is going to be a Walton’s special on November 20th. It’s a whole new cast, I wonder if they are remaking it and this is a test run.

    Tracey that's a good idea! He can park it at his job and leave it until Wednesday after work and then drive it home. Something we don't have to worry about being broken into or stolen. Although I just asked my husband and he said nowadays that's more like $4,000. He now officially has an expensive hobby, work!🥺

    The storm they said would be here has hit and hit hard- came home from class and the door mat had a bunch of hail on it. Thankfully it stopped raining just long enough for me to drive home.
    Got a text while at class. My daycare girl is sick so she will be staying home tomorrow which means an extra day off for me and I dont have to go out in the storm to go get her.
    Finishing up my day with these stats:
    164 minutes(walked the wetlands and then zumba)
    22,170 steps
    8 floors
    10.00 miles
    2356 calories burned.
    Did extra beings I won't be walking the wetlands in the storm tomorrow(but, I did just order myself a rain jacket so I can if I want to another day. Amazon had one half off- so just $10.

    Beings I am off tomorrow, I plan on working on getting the treadmill cleaned off so I can use it again.

    Welcome @nelsondiane952 Diane form Seattle area and @designer91056 Mary Therese in Buffalo!
    Rori and Heather thank you for the pics!
    Lisa I feel the same way you do about DH’s snoring ;)
    Tracey I think the vacuum noise is are actually painful for him. The washer not so much. In any case, my resentment has eased after reading the reactions here. This is such a supportive and healing group of wise women. The Vermont Country Store has those chenille bedspreads… for a price !!! https://www.vermontcountrystore.com/bedding/category/bedspreads
    @linder4866 ?Joyce? good to see you popping in!
    Barbie :astonished: That is a big tree down! Glad no one was hurt.
    Carol that teacher’s aid was mistaken as well as rude. From Wikipedia: “The name "Viet Nam" (with a space separating the two syllables) is formally designated and recognized by the Government of Vietnam, the United Nations and the International Organization for Standardization as the standardized country name for Vietnam.”
    Katla so happy for your exceptional day. ((hugs))

    Thanks all for the concern about my harrowing trip. I feel very loved.

    30 Days of Gratitude

    1. Smell - freshly cut grass on our lawn.
    2. Technology - the amazing advancements in medical technology.
    3. Colour - blue. Beautiful blue sky peaking through the clouds.
    4. Food - soup. That's what I've been eating just recently because there's less chewing. We always keep a few cans of soup on hand for situations like these.
    5. Sound - my music. I've recently acquired a number of nature sounds CDs with music playing along with sounds of ocean waves, birds, and so on. Lovely.
    6. Nature - I love nature. It would be incredibly difficult for me to pick just one thing. I am so grateful that there is nature and that I can enjoy it.
    7. Memory - Winter 2017. The last time I visited my parents and a wonderful 1-month holiday to Canada that June/July. My husband and I did two cycling events and a lot of other cycling. We climbed mountains and explored a glacier. We visited friends and family.

    I am awake early and thinking about DH. I live our apartment and want DH with me. Our daughter wants him nearby her work place. I have seen the place where he has been. The space was cluttered and not clean when I recently spent a bit of time with him. I hope to talk about it with him today.

    Katla--Glad all went well with your friend's visit. Sounds like the internet helped good friends connect. Happy for you.
    Michele--Our new car drives very nice. I just have to get used to having to climb up to get in as it sits higher, which is nice when driving. It is Eby Black. We drove over to our son's last evening which is about 20 miles away to see how it does on the highway. I do think we will like it and it does have better leg room. I take my knitting when we go out of town and there is better space for me to work on that. Our teenage DGD loves the fact she can sit in the back and not have her legs all bent up, she is almost 6 feet tall.
    Barbara--Thanks for sharing about the chenille bedspreads. I agree what a price!!!
    I do think the time change is catching up with me. I have a 3-4 hour monthly management meeting this afternoon. I just hope I can stay awake. It is cooler today and trying to rain.
    Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE <3

    Good morning ladies!

    Well there's another ten minutes of morning. My digestion is off, and I keep putting off grocery shopping and voting just to sit still a little longer.

    My mom is threatening to skip voting but I told her it's either voting or the doctor so she might as well get dressed. She just laughs at me. At least she is cheerful.

    I can imagine voting is scary if you can only stand for a few minutes, and that's with something to hold on to. The responsible thing would have been to get an absentee ballot, but we didn't do that. Oh well.

    There's still time for things to settle down.

    :) I'm home from a lovely walk in the snow, partly in the dark and partly in the daylight. We have such a great neighborhood for walking and I am grateful for it every day. Bessie jumped and frolicked in the snow for a few minutes and then want to go back to the house.

    :)Katla, when you visit your husband, can you help tidy his room to make it more comfortable for him>

    :)Michele, can you tell the roofer that you will be gone from December X to December X+6 and then make reservations to stay near Denise and PJ? This is your opportunity for Christmas with PJ without Vince's decorations to keep you home.

    :) I am also grateful for all the different coats, shoes, scarves, hats, gloves, etc. that I have so I can be warm and dry on m walks no matter what the weather.
