What are you doing today?

Yesterday, had a rep from a moving company over to assess for a price quote.
That’s the third company I’ve contacted……all are a lot less than I expected.
I have made my decision…….one more thing checked off the list.

Need to go to the vet for dog food and treats.
Other than that, just the usual daily routine.
 

It rained all morning until mid-day... then the sun came out but it's quite windy ..

This morning I got one large drawer cleared out of Jeggings, leggings and jeans.. to make room for the new ones.. I've bagged them up and they'll be donated..

Got a cover put on the Bird Bath ready for winter.. ..it takes too much cleaning in icy weather so instead I put out trays of water in the bird feeders during winter..

Uploaded the Video I took of yesterdays Christmas Model Village .. I hope you can all see it..

Just having potato fritters for lunch now...
 

Last day of babysitting this week (unless there's an emergency). I was able to arrange a carpet cleaning service for next Friday and he'll take a look at cleaning our sofa while he's here. We tried to replace some of the furniture a while back but buying new furniture during the pandemic was pretty much an impossibility. Maybe we'll go shopping this weekend and give it a whirl.

I'd much rather replace it than clean it. This sectional was always meant to be temporary - we bought it used as a stop gap until we found something we liked better. That was probably six years ago...
 
Sorting, sorting…

Indian spices assembled in one east-to-access place in the pantry …. Finding things—like my stick blender— that got ‘lost’ in the move— and putting them in their proper place.

through all this, the cat—who *has* been fed this AM— sits staring at me with a baleful expression, like he thinks he can use The Force or something to put more food in the bowl… silly cat

Um...our new person was doing video training all morning. She actually starts working in the bakery tomorrow, Supervisor's day off.

I asked what's her name? He didn't know. I asked him what her hours will be. He didn't know. I leave at 12. Hope she's not scheduled to work later than that because she'll be there all alone.

I asked what he wants her to do. "Whatever you think since you'll be training her." I'll be doing whaaaaaaat? I'm a one-trick pony. I bake. Remember what I said about being a failure at teaching my kids to tie their shoes?

What he's trying to tell me, I think, is that the beatings will continue until morale improves.

He looks extremely hungry to me. Just at a glance. Thought you'd want me to let you know.
😁😄☺️😉😂🙃😄
And also appears to be deprived of attention and of all the good things in life.

☺️🤣😅😍🤩
 
@CinnamonSugar That poor pitiful kitty! He looks unloved and hungry, and he's breaking my heart💔

@hollydolly Right. But maybe, just maybe, management hasn't bothered to tell Supervisor her name or what hours she'll be working. That's not out of the realm of possibility for sure.

If it turns out that she doesn't even start until 8 or 9 am, she'll be precious little help to me because the work I do is most labor intensive and most hurried from 6-9. Everything, that is everdamthang, has to be done by 9. Shelves and tables stocked, markdowns completed, croissants baked, packaged, labeled (that would be at the very least 312 croissants...right...at the least).

All the breads, pies, cookies? Those take forfreaking ever, especially the breads because they start from frozen and have to rise for an hour before baking, then have to cool before packaging.

I'm trying not to holler before I'm hurt, but so far the earliest anybody has started in the bakery is 9.

Whine.

perhaps you need to just ''state the bleedin' obvious'' as we say around these parts.. and demand to know how people starting at 9am are of any value to the workload...

@Georgiagranny, well that makes two that have succumbed to the cats wiles =P

As to the job in the bakery, is there anything really tying you down to this job? Seems like it's more trouble than it's worth. But you know what's best for you ((hugs))
 
I'm watching a groundhog fill his belly with acorns, etc. in my yard. This is at least the second time today that he has done this that I've seen. He was here this morning and just kept eating, eating, and eating. I thought "you must have a hollow leg! Four of them!" He has been here doing this for several days this week that I know of. It could be more but I just didn't see him. I just love watching him "stuff himself".

Do Groundhogs Hibernate ?
 
Something that needed done that is NOT FUN. Updating our sons via email about an unpleasant topic. This is it.

Hi

This never a happy topic but planning ahead has always been something I like to do. Planning ahead I emailed you both that our accounts are completely updated So with that said rather than explain what needs to be done I'll ask you both to email me with what you think you need to do.

Since there are no guarantees for who will be the last parent, what do you need to do once were both taking the dirt nap? List them by number with what you need to do 1st.

Love Dad
 
@hollydolly Yes. Groundhogs hibernate.

I've asked that very question and stated the bleeding obvious many times, and the answer is always the same. "We should be grateful that we have anybody at all."

@CinnamonSugar I can tell by looking at that poor little kitty that he's neglected. It has nothing to do with feline wiles ;)

The job...it's what passes for my *social* life. I have nowhere else to go and nothing else to do. I like the job, actually, but really need more help to get it done. One day I overheard the deli manager and supervisor talking...they like me because I'm a dependable work horse. I have stopped letting myself be voluntold that they need me an extra hour. That hour is killer!

And payday is nice. It's paying for my new teeth with plenty left over. I like having money "left over"!
