I'm back it's 4.30pm... it's a lovely sunny if windy day... I got my nails done while I was out and there was a verbal punch up in the Nail salon between the nail technician and a customer. The customer was complaining at every little thing from the time I walked in, and the technician just kept silent..

.. till finally after about 20 minutes of this the T had had enough and she shouted back.. and the fight was on. Very funny really.. because I was getting my nails done, with my back to the fighting woman.. and her T started telling her story of what was going on, over our heads to the boss who was doing my nails.. of course talking in Vietnamese.. well that was the finish for the Fighting lady, she started screaming. ''don't you dare talk to each other in your own language''... I was laughing so much, the boss started laughing with me :ROFLMAO:


I thought I deserved a treat after all I've been through this week so I got some Krispy kremes... miniatures... I'm having them now with my cuppa tea...:p

Ken, are temps in the 90s typical for late May in your part of Texas?

A Karen customer that even the boss laughed at!

Save one of those Krispy Kremes for me, please. And did you remember to pick up a quart of milk for me? And some dark chocolate?
 
Done in the garden and just in time. It was very warm but overcast so not too hot working out there. I finished up...even mowed the lawn...and came in to shower and do laundry. Just looked outside. The sun is out in full force. Whew. Dodged that heat bullet.

Sir called me to tell me that those cookies that were there yesterday didn't get packaged when Cookie worked yesterday. What? She's gone beyond pushing the envelope! He said he was fixing to call her and ask her why they hadn't been done. Wut wo.

They probably won't get rid of her until after next week when I'm back. She's really only a warm body but sometimes useful.

no the boss was laughing at ME laughing at the stupid Karen.... and he got in such a good mood he told a joke in Vietnamese to one of the other technicians ( male ).. and then he told it to me in broken English, and he couldn't stop laughing while he was telling it ..... I'm sure the fighting woman felt sure we were taking the P out of her...

Had a great day with TGS yesterday. Went to Costco, took a walk (he was in the stroller for much of it), and played with toy trucks. ❤️

I'm waiting for a couple dozen cartons from UPS today. Will open, count and sort some today and some Sunday. DS and DDIL have an evening wedding tomorrow so we'll have TGS tomorrow morning through Saturday late afternoon. ❤️❤️

Can't open boxes and count sweatshirts with a two year old "helping" the process along so we won't be working Friday or Saturday! Other than cooking, staying ahead of the dishes and clearing a path through the toys, when he's here it's playtime. ❤️❤️❤️
 
How come everybody else gets to stay up and play or watch TV or go out to a park or to a movie, but I have to go to bed? :mad: 🛌

I wanna stay up until it's dark because I'm on firefly watch. When I see the first one, it's officially summer (forget the silly calendar).

Reckon those pesky cookies will still be there tomorrow morning? LOL
 
We bought 4 tomato plants today.
Hubby carried up in the backhoe bucket of well rotted horse manure to put in our planter box.

Planter is part of a shower stall.

Anyhow tomato plants are in & 3 marigold plants,, which hopefully will keep the deer from eating the tomato plants.

I'm not sure how many summer squash seeds he planted in the other planter.

Forgot I bought beet seeds & haven't planted them. 🙃

...cuz none of us are earning any money...
 
In retirement, routines give structure to my life that keep me going on auto-pilot. Most of all, my daily one-hour walks with my pups in the mornings and the evenings. To keep my arms in shape, at least 15 minutes a day workout on my mini gym. Then checking the iPhone for family gossip, my laptop for emails and perusing the Internet for news. Also, of course, one hour naps in the mornings and afternoons.

After being married for some 50 years, my wife and I developed such routines as she is washing the dishes and I drying them up. And only after the routines have been taken care of, time permitting, come three dozen non-routines, such as going shopping and cutting grass. Finally, there are my ambitious plans of cutting down on my belongings, especially on my ton of paperwork. I never run out of work.

It seems in retirement I am busier than when I was still going to work every day. Well, I am working nowadays half speed and don't push myself anymore.

Below are some of the flowers I noticed on my walk this evening. My convenient mini pocket camera gives good pictures only in direct sunlight. Perhaps I should use again my other camera.

@OneEyedDiva Oh, my. I had no idea that you've had that kind of health problem and for so long! Glad to hear that you're on top of it.

Also, the co-worker I'm currently complaining about is the one about to get canned, yes. She's the one whose g'mother is the HR lady. However, we've had a parade of people coming and going in the past couple of years. They won't or don't work/don't show up/fight (sometimes physically!) with other employees/flat out refuse to do certain tasks/find hiding places to sleep...the list goes on!

@packleader The flowers are beautiful (well...so are your pups). I envy you getting to see flowers all year long. Can you even imagine how broke I'd be if I lived out there? LOL For me, it's only about 6-8 months that I drain my bank account for the garden!

@hollydolly This probably sounds really tacky, but I can hardly wait for a report about S2BX's reaction to the financial disclosure stuff. I bet his head is spinning (and rightly so!).

I slept like a rock last night and didn't get up until after 5. After the night before and what only amounted to a two-hour nap, it was a real treat.

When I got up yesterday I wondered about BP so got DSIL's BP monitor and took BP...it wasn't quite at 200 over 90, but close. Stroke City! At the eye doc yesterday, the tech took my blood pressure first thing. It was soooo normal at 138 over 63. I think it was a version of a big sigh, knowing that I don't go to work for a whole week starting when I leave the bakery Saturday morning. Woohoo and stuff.

So. I'm off today and have plenty of gardening stuff to do. Little things that I've put off by calling them "winter work" or "I'll do it later" or whatever excuse I can think of. If the lord's willing and the creeks don't rise, I won't feed my addiction to the garden centers...remains to be seen, of course.

Thank you so much GG ❣️ And your ex coworker or soon to be ex-coworker sounds like she's a special kind of stupid. :rolleyes:. Good thing you were able to get some decent rest.
 
I washed the living room AC's filter and refilled 2-1/2 pill cases. I had started to use from the one I keep in my tote (purse), which I do not like doing. My son sat with me and we had a nice talk. I also called the company that sends out my diabetes supplies. About two weeks ago, I finally got my supplies, including a different type of meter.

Yesterday, I got a box of duplicates for everything. I swear from the few interactions I've had with reps in the last 5 or 6 weeks, I don't think one hand knows what the other is doing. I used the call me back option. A rep called me back, I was looking for a date she asked for and told her to give me a minute. Suddenly we were disconnected. Never got a call back.

I also had to call OptumRX, my mail order pharmacy. I noticed I'm about to run out of the blood pressure medication. I don't know how I let that happen! I wanted to know the procedure for having that RX transferred to my local pharmacy. I checked the price on Optum's website and found that it may be cheaper to get it from the local pharmacy. The rep was very pleasant, helpful and efficient, which I appreciated; I reflected that in the after call survey.

I have coverage through OptumRx myself. While they do try to sell me their mail pharmacy service, the copays at a local physical pharmacy are pretty reasonable for my plan. I get detailed monthly reports that are useful to me in monitoring my out of pocket costs. I also get a pharmacist call each year to confirm my current prescriptions and supplements, and a report mailed to me covering what we discussed along with cautions and suggestions. That call does soft-sell their pharmacy by mail but I can pretty easily decline.
 
Another day mostly focusing on the new neighbors. I'm trying very hard to focus on something else but with so much riding on this, I haven't been able to do it.

I have a list of things to try to focus on tomorrow. Hopefully that will help.

Other than that, a fairly nice day.

I finally tried the chili lime sunchips I bought a while ago. I was going to throw them out because they have buttermilk in them, and I'm lactose intolerant. I decided to try a few chips to see how they go. Tastes good anyway. Spicy how I like it.

Some of my meds are about the same price and may be cheaper at the local pharmacy, but most are not (I'm taking a lot of stuff). I don't know if that's because my coverage is through my retiree health benefits plan. Cost is one of the reasons I've always taken advantage of the mail option. I also get that yearly call to go over my medication list. I avoided the call for a few weeks this time (they literally called every day).

I'm glad I finally got it done because it was helpful. One year, I found out that there was a better option than one of the meds I was taking because the original one reduced another med's efficacy. Don't kow why the state switched, but a few years ago, they changed from Express Scripts to Optom.
 
Good morning. I'm up and just realized that Monday is a holiday. I'm going to volunteer to work on Monday if NL is still off. She said "the weekend" and isn't scheduled today or tomorrow. The weekend includes Sunday so I'm guessing she also meant Monday. If that's the case, Sir would be working the first holiday weekend of the summer by himself. That's kinda awful! So if she meant the entire weekend including Monday, I'll go in and help him. Otherwise, I'll be off all week. One day won't kill me.

It's gonna be hot again today. Still haven't turned on the AC. I should probably vacuum out the cobwebs or whatever and see to that today.

Y'all behave while I'm at work. @hollydolly Take names!

ETA: Wonder if those cookies will have been packaged? LOL
 
We also have Optum mail order drug store. I was on automatic delivery but I had to change it to order only. I have enough glaucoma eye drops to start my own drug store.

Just found out yesterday that my wife has gotten her drugs all mixed up and let one lapse entirely. Need to monitor her more closely. I think I mentioned she has a bit of dementia and is forgetting a lot of things.

Getting groceries delivered at 9 am so need to get things ready here. Good day to you all.
