Day Off . . .

It was wonderful not to have to get up this morning.  And I've had a nice day.  Had breakfast, am drinking coffee now, thinking of lunch which will be chili dogs.  Went out and looked at my mimosa and gardenia blooming, so wonderful this year.

Yesterday at work was just watching videos all day, I got to have lunch with the General Manager, he treated me and another new hire to get to know us.  It was nice.

The problem I'm having is money.  I still owe auto insurance and  still have to have money for gas ... I should get paid this weekend but I don't trust them so I suppose the thing to do is pawn the camera and make sure I can do both.  Although the auto insurance may be too expensive until I get paid I'll have to wait and see I'm not worrying about it today.  I'm not worrying about anything today.

Starting Anew . . .

Got a new job today, it pays $1 an hour more than the last one and looks like nicer people.  Just a question of getting the routine down and being able to do the job.  I already like my manager, a hispanic woman in her 30s and about to have a 4th child.  There is a woman my age I'll be working with she's very nice.  It's just a matter of getting to know everything and being able to think on my feet, we'll see.  But it's a new day and a new way so we'll see where this journey takes us, hopefully to a new house on this property.  I can hold money back now easily.

Blustery . . .

Cold again, there is a strong wind blowing and I'm wrapped in a blanket about to freeze to death and hating I have to get out in it to go to work.  Got home this morning very sore and tired got a lot of sleep I hope to recuperate between tomorrow morning and my day off.  I have to do laundry but no big deal I have to grocery shop and buy more dog food and I have to pay my auto insurance and am praying it's not cancelled I should have already paid it.  We'll see. 

Ill . . .

I am so sick.  Sore throat, can't breathe, body aches I feel so horrible.  And it's still so damned cold.  I just can't get up and get things going I'm so uncomfortable.  As is I'm about to go back to bed for a little while.  I still have to work tonight but only 4 hours if that long, I was asked to leave early last night.

Winter Go Away!

Cannot tell you how sick of winter I am.  Cold all the time raining most days muddy when it's not because it won't stop raining long enough to dry out.  Come back summer I won't complain anymore!  I used to live for winter but I guess as we age the cold hurts more, plus I don't have adequate heat so it's really bad for me.

I have a lot of plans for the spring planting, a lot of vegetables.  Flowers everywhere.  Lots of digging.  I don't care how hot it gets.  Just so it warms up.

Flattened . . .

Thought I was going to be called in to work last night, wasn't so I intended to go to sleep early but didn't, not until 5 a.m..  Didn't get up today until after 4 p.m. and was going to go to the store to get some soda but couldn't make myself do it.  Hopefully tomorrow, and I do need to do laundry, if it doesn't rain.  We have rain chances just about daily for the next couple of weeks.

The kittens are getting closer to me, two of them slept with me last night, Prissy all night Onyx most of the night.  Or day as it were.  I think the light company must have come out and fixed the security light it no longer blinks, that's good that was freaking annoying.

I had my first hot meal in a while tonight, a stroganoff hamburger helper.  It was good, I put the remainder in the freezer and will reheat tomorrow.  Maybe make a couple of sides with it.  I hope I have some more rutabagas.  Love those things.

I have a small container that I used to keep my pendulums in.  It's the size roughly of a small square Kleenex box.  All 4 kittens are crammed in there asleep.  The sucky thing about that is when my pendulums were in there, hence how I USED to keep them in there, they knocked it down and the dogs got the pendulums and my set of blue onyx runes.  I recovered 1 pendulum and 16 of the runes.  The rest are history.  I have replacements in my carts at Amazon and at DiscountNewAgeBooks.com but right now both orders are at $42 and I don't know when I'll be able to get them.  We'll see I am catching up some, made a lot of sacrifice.  Full coverage on the auto insurance, Hulu and Netflix, but we'll see I'll persevere.

Lessening the Chaos . . .

Going to work on my days off up coming to lessen some of the chaos around here.  I have to see the phone company about my cable/internet and the light company about my security light, it blinks which is unnerving.  I think my company is about to get me more hours they are starting to cross train me so I'm useful in any area so that will certainly help.  Especially drive through.  We'll see.  I should have a fairly good check this time so I should get somewhat caught up.  Going to try very hard.

The 4 little monsters are growing I have to start feeding them Mom is about to start weaning I'm sure.  Gotta get some kitten food tho.

Need to go now and feed the brood then get ready for work.  Hope the night goes well, it's going to be a long one.
