And for my own news of the day: The co-worker who'd been making every effort to make my work life uncomfortable? She finally went too far. Our supervisor was there and heard her dissing me and complaining that she wanted more money. Then she wandered around for a while among the shelves of cookies, breads, pies, desserts, after showing up late and even after seeing five racks of baked goods waiting to be packaged/priced/put out on the shelves. (A baking rack holds 12 trays of cookies, bread...whatever.)

She was so nasty to me this morning that the thought entered my head to call tomorrow morning and claim that I was far too ill to work. However, tomorrow morning would have rolled around, and I wouldn't have done it. Whatsisname, the Father of My Children, used to call me "Responsible Roberta." Never mind that my name isn't Roberta. LOL

I guess it was the last straw for our supervisor. They both disappeared for a while, and he came back alone and said we're going to have to hire a new bakery clerk. Huh? I asked if she quit. He said no, that she was upstairs getting fired. These days when employers are thrilled to get a person with a pulse, you gotta be pretty bad to get fired.

He told me that he hasn't been unaware of what was going on with her, that she doesn't like "us old people" (he's 57) and that she simply didn't want to work. I really did believe he hadn't noticed...

Whew. Now I feel guilty because I'm not exactly gloating but certainly feeling a bit of Schadenfreude. DD says it's very becoming on me, like a pleasant shade of lavender ;)

Yes! It's good to know that your supervisor took action, finally.

Potted a couple of plants.

Now, I'm waiting for the DogDaddy to come and pick up the dogs. It's been 17 days...🤯
Things have been much better since I've been keeping them outdoors.

The pay is good, so I'm thankful for that. And, they really are good dogs, just w/bad habits.
 

Loads of laundry, changing bed linens, dishes, decluttering the couch full of closet stuff checking mail throwing garbage out in trash room, sweeping up floor mail junk accumulation alone with catalog bs galore. My mailbox (all inside building) has been taken over by catalogs and ads from email sold to these businesses. OK I think that should be quite enough.

@Trila So sorry to hear about your friend. I'm glad you got to visit before she died.

@Pinky Also sorry to hear about your brother. It's good to have nice/fun memories of him.

Sounds like your day "came up roses!". Good for you! I love when things finally go right!

It's just after 3.30pm and the sun is moving round to the front of the house from the back.

I got some gardening done in the back , it's been such a gloriously sunny day and really feels warm in the sunshine, my back garden has always been a hot spot... No mowing or anything heavy.. but just general tidying up, sweeping up leaves, on the paths , sweeping away winter cobwebs..on the doors of the outbuildings . I did dig the edging alongside one edge of the lawn... but it didn't take long to do because we had torrential rain yesterday so the ground is very soft..

I've left the rest of the edging for another day... oh and I scraped up the moss from between the paving slabs, also very quick because it was similarly soft.. so I just used a trowel ☀️🌻🌼
 
Misa and I are preparing the front yard and goat field where they put in the new well for planting grass. I shoveled /turned over 30x 4 yards of packed soil while Misa smoothed it and picked out rocks/some large. In the front yard we had to remove about 3 wheel barrels of sand and then use one of these to mix the soil and remove rocks. front yard is abut 30 x 4 yards also.

It will rain tomorrow so we have been at it for a couple days. It isn't so easy doing it all by hand, we would have used our tractor for a lot of it, but it died a few years back.
 
Dental appointment this morning.
Was just for cleaning of teeth,, but I still don't like going to dentist.

Don't plan on doing much this afternoon.
I have couple pairs of pants that need shortened,,may do that.

Time to get the Spring clothes out & sorted .
Seeing pretty tops online makes me want something new,,,,,,,,
But I have a summer top I bought last Fall.:(
 
It's a perfectly glorious day here. When I went to work at 6am it was foggy. The sun came out around 9 and it's 71 now. In a little while DD and I are going to the garden center. I expect to be broke by 2:30 but there will be lots of bedding plants with a new home 😊
 
Getting ready to head to home base in SE GA… first day of six off
Gotta pick up my taxes
Meet with friends
CHURCH (I have not been able to attend Sunday Mass x4 weeks due to work— and I realize God understands with the profession I’m in but I am running on spiritual fumes! 😕)
Declutter some in my bedroom so the cleaning service can do the deep-cleaning next time
and whatever else comes up 😊

y’all have a great day
 
When I got out of bed at 6:10am looked out my bedroom window saw full moon
On my early walk around 6:40,wore my yellow reflector vest since it was still dark outside,the birds were beginning to chirp,saw 'thumper/thumperina'{baby rabbitt} scatter across the lawn as I went to store to buy milk temp was 40 with no wind
I had no plans today,my mid morning walk at 10:15 I strolled over to close friends Marcia&Dave's house{2 blocks away} she was home,had a nice visit. Yesterday she sent me email about the possibility of them getting another family dog. They are interested in another pharoh hound this dog is Aker's{my buddy boy} great nephew, turns 1 in May. The handler told them he has a 'goofy personality' just like bb did. She showed me pictures the handler sent he looks just like him. They plan to go check him out during Easter break
My afternoon walk went around apt complex twice a beautiful,warm day here temps near 70
 
I am very proud of what I have accomplished today. I finally found my brain. Actually, I found it 2x's today. Early today my taskbar came up on the right side of the screen instead of the bottom where it always is located. I finally resolved than when I turned it on tonight it was back on the side. Lucky for me after a while I fixed it again. I should have played the lottery tonight since I might be having a lucky streak.
 
Glorious day again, sunny and warm... I was going to go out but Friday the roads are jammed solid around here all day instead of just rush hour. Mainly people heading into London for the weekend or out of London to the country or coast.

Instead I cleared even more stuff from the estranged o/h's room.. emptied drawers, re-arranged closets, and then used the empty drawers to transfer all of my winter clothing..chunky sweaters , fleece jogging bottoms etc.. all of which take up too much room in my dressing room.. ..

I've been up and down ladders like a window cleaner, lifting boxes onto high shelves in the closets. I only hope I'll remember what's in what box... I'd label them but the boxes are covered in a tweed like fabric, and the paper tabs I tried, just won't stick..

Stopped now because my back is killing me, and I want to be well for Monday when I'm going into the city to the Ideal Home Exhibition.. and I have to go by train & tube.. or it would take me hours to drive and all car parks surrounding the Olympia will be not only hugely expensive they'll be full up.. so it's important my back isn't painful by Monday..
 
The thumb saga

Today recovering from a traumatic yesterday morning spent in emergency with this very painful thumb.
Got to be too much to bear so I spent three hours there and ending up only with an injection to relieve pain which was wonderful for a few hours.

I get home and cancer clinic rings to ask if I want a cancellation which was that day in relation to consultation with the cancer radiologist which I took since my scheduled date was April 14th. and the cyst is growing larger by the day. I guess my visit to emergency paid off in that respect. I don't think it was a cancellation. The emergency doctor took a few pictures so could have scared them in to action

So to cut a long story short the new growth on thumb is also cancer and is now way too large and the thumb has to come off !
Now I wait for appointment for CT scan and then another wait for appointment with surgeon for amputation.

All at this state due in my and others opinion to family physician's ( and others) less than adequate attention and treatment for over two years before I finally got to first surgeon...age being a big factor played in some decisions

Sorry for rant .....tough times ahead for me....I just feel like suing someone for a billion dollars...:mad:

I agree that is very sad, and terrible and angering.:(:mad::oops::rolleyes::(:mad::mad:
Definitely don't feel bad about the rant. Actually you are just sharing with us. A true rant on this topic , would be far bigger and much worse.

Very sorry for how they handled this, :(:(:(
and for what you have gone through and still must go through.:cry::cry::cry::cry:

I am glad you went to the emergency, and now have gotten some things scheduled a small bit better. Which they should have done anyway, but it did put a fire under them.
Thank you for updating us. I think of you and your situation, often.
🥺❤️💙💜💗

oh this is just terrible, something that has happened probably needlessly... I can't imagine how upset you must be, but the very least we can do here is listen to you whenever you want to rant, and if anyone has a reason to..then it's you...:eek:🤬
