They’re extremely lucky to have you!

GeeGee.. perhaps it's time to tell them that unless you get help..'the bleedin' obvious'' will be that they won't have you either...

Holly just posted what I was going to say.

You said that the bakery is the most profitable part of the store. That’s because of you and they need to be reminded of this.

Gonna wait and see how newbie turns out and what hours she works.

I have a week's vacation December 11 through December 17. Gonna stay at least long enough to get that because as a part-timer, not sure that they will pay out that week if I quit.

@Jules Thank you for the kind words. Guess they'll figger it out that week when I'm on vacay.

I just did an online search and learned they do hibernate. I didn't know this but now that I do, I don't blame him a bit! I would do the same if I were him.

Haha. It doesn't usually get very cold here so I don't hibernate. When we lived in the UP, people out and about in the Febuary thaw would greet one another with "How are you wintering?" meaning "Are you getting along okay so far?" and when out in the spring would greet one another with "How'd you winter?" meaning, "Did you manage okay?"

I don't hibernate either but if Mr. Groundhog saw me eat sometimes, he would think I do.
 
Yay! Finally on the ground in orlando. Late, but here. Unfortunately, there was a "severe lightening strike" and the ground crew can't work for a certain amount of time after the lightening leaves the area. Which means that all the aircraft that came in before us has to be unloaded first. They say it'll be at least an hour before we see our luggage.

Which means that the next flights on those planes will be delayed seriously. We saw the red "DELAYED" starting to pop up on the info screens.

Oh, air travel is sooooo fun.....

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 they carry them somewhere, like squirrels, to have a winter supply?-or just gain weight and sleep all winter?

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.

Where are you moving to, and when?

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..

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

I worked on estate matters and went to the post office this morning. I closed out my post office box and got a $2 refund for returning the keys! I feel so rich. 🤣 Again today there was no line and that was great. As I was getting ready to go a neighbor rang my bell and said there was a package by the outer door. Turns out the new litter box I ordered came a day early. After I got back I assembled the box, which was very easy and proceeded to show Deja how to get in and out it. I took her little paws and scratched in the litter so she would realize it's her litter box. I could tell she was apprehensive when it was completely enclosed But she kept jumping in-and-out of it from the top.Tonight after each of us took a long nap, I tried encouraging her again to use it. Her actions and vocalizations told me she was still a bit anxious. I wound up taking the top off...then she did her business. 💩

Forecast is for showers this morning, but becoming sunny this afternoon. I will be finishing off the wallpaper repair in the lounge and Mrs. L will be assembling a batch of chicken & ham pies.

I'm making 'Stampot' for dinner this evening, so I must go and pick some kale from the garden. You can buy kale in supermarkets, but it's been hacked to pieces and is totally unusable. There should be a law against cruelty to vegetables.
 
It's a good day to have a good day...but that darned Cat decided to pee on my bed this morning. It's not a good start to the day. Let us all pray that it gets better! Where on earth did I leave my moral support? Has anybody seen it?

We get a warehouse truck on Thursday nights so I get to deal with a huge pallet of boxes that weigh anywhere from a mere five pounds to 30 pounds. Usually about 30-40 boxes of products. And, of course, "train" the newbie when she shows up. I'm praying it's not banker's hours...

Let us not forget that "everything" has to be done by 9 am, including all those blankety-blank croissants and baking another 20 dozen chocolate chip cookies, throw in a crapton of rye bread, Italian bread, garlic bread, bolillos, coffee cakes, turnovers, blah blah blah.

I need to adjust my attitude before leaving the house!
