Worked today then went to the HOA meeting/social. They had this pizza that was SOOOO good. I very rarely eat pizza but I had like 4 slices. The pres. Made it. Then went in the pool, will go to church in a few

Tracey – great design and I agree, Roger made it perfect

Rita – feel better fast. If it’s not one thing, it’s another. When it rains, it pours

The part for our grill FINALLY came in. I’m defrosting the meat right now. Maybe we’ll grill tomorrow. Jess was talking about coming here next weekend and going out to dinner. I’m thinking that assuming that there isn’t any problem with the grill (which is why we’ll try it first), I’ll suggest we instead grill

Ginny – hope you feel better fast and that nasty sore throat is gone

Tooth still tender. Before I was leaning towards extraction if it doesn’t get better but now I’m leaning toward a root canal. I just don’t know

You got that right Michele. I’m also dealing with my DS and his issues again along with really inept management her at the park causing chaos every weekend.

Rita - My bank's interface lets me log items that I know are coming, like an automatic payment. While it doesn't impact the balance, I'm reminded to keep the checking balance up to cover the incoming charges, and I clear the log after they've come through. I haven't actually balanced a checkbook in more than a decade... I just check my accounts nearly every day.

Heather - Hope you are able to get your wrist back to fighting fit again--so glad it wasn't your dominant hand that was injured! Glad, too, that you and Johnny repaired your rupture... I'm always impressed by your ability to talk things through, keeping the partnership uppermost.

Curtains are up on key windows, Corey did all the heavy lifting, and now he's out mowing the lawn. Feeling even more grateful for him today.

They will turn off the ventilator today for a dear friend of mine, and even more dear to my birth family. He was so protective of my sister's daughters, and they adored him back. They've traveled down to West Texas to help where they can, and to be there for his wife and daughters. He and his wife were still so much in love--she always called him her "Superman." He suffered a massive stroke and they couldn't get him back. He was only 51.

Edit to add: While I was writing, he left us. My sis let me know by text.

Rita-I keep a check register. I write very few checks, but record all of my bill payments. I only use ATM card together cash and some bills I take out of checking on line. Typically I check/balance it every Saturday.

Debbie-isn't your DH working for same company he retired from? Don't know why they wouldn't have discussion with him if position is no longer needed,

Heather-I admire the way you and DH talk things out. Keep up with exercise to regain most use
possible.

Debbie-we all need to focus on enjoying the story we are in. Very seldom does life end up the way we see it-but it doesn't mean it isn't good.

Lunch over-back to work!

Dh has worked for the same company for the past 42 yrs. The store manager they have back again is going after all the old hires. He was told that she has written him up(but no one gave him the letter and there was no warning before the actual write up) for not meeting his shifts. He helps in two departments. When he helps in the deli(the department he ran for over 30 yrs before he retired), he will sometimes ask if they want him to split his shift so he can help him two partial days instead of just the one because he knows they need the extra help. He has always asked the one in charge of that department before doing it. They are always happy for him to do that. They are very short handed and because he has done it so long, can get a lot more done in a few hours than others can in a full shift-he doesn't know how to slow down, pace himself. The department needs him but the store manager is messing with all the ones that have been there the longest. She has other employees as what he calls, her little spies. They spy on other employees in return for making sure they get the days off they want. They know who three of them are but feel there are a few more. The union has been called so many times and are doing nothing. HR , same thing.
Before, he could work full shifts both days but the retiree restrictions went back into affect two months ago so is only allowed to work 63 hrs a month so he stretches it as much as he can to help as much as he can. The other day, after he heard about the letter, he stayed his full 8hr shift but was done with his jobs hours before that and then the next day, they were short people but he couldn't help them.

There was one rumor going around that she got a suspension, pending termination letter. Heard that was false- everyone was so happy when they thought she was getting replaced. Now the rumor is she is in Mexico for lap band surgery. She had told dh, when she was being nice to him, asking about retirement, saying she was trying to figure out how she could retire now. Wouldn't that be nice. But just a few weeks later, he hears about the write up she did on him.


That is for sure- my life is sure nothing like I expected it would be. Some days are easier to find joy than others. After so many years of living with such a negative pessimistic person, it gets even harder..
