Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That is excellent, lisah! I never get those offers unless I'm desperate to get where I'm going.

I've finally watched some of the Ken Burns country music documentary, and there are so many good stories in there, I think I'd rather watch a whole hour or two about Merle Haggard, or Loretta Lynn, or Charlie Pride, etc etc, rather than this big sweep. It's plenty interesting, though.

Thrive to spite them

I do not have to work this weekend and I am so so glad. I got pulled into women's shoes and finally after some pushing they were able to pull more people and I left.

I couldn't pull shoes for anyone so the lines were backing up. I have been getting so hot lately I'm paranoid about getting sick from the heat again.

They are down to 3 full time people in the dept. 2 people walked out, one got fired, another quit but worked their 2 weeks

The biggest problem is customers. They are so sanding and unrealistic. Like the ones who hand you 6 pairs of shoes and want this in 2 sizes to try and them get mad because you can't carry a dozen boxes

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Spent the last two hours helping out with preticketing in the warehouse. Kind of a nice change, but I wasn't dressed for it.

Got the 3 moving estimates. Each one increased the estimate of weight and thus value, so each quote was larger. $4130 to $5520. Lowest valuation of goods was for $30700 which would probably be enough to furnish my place, right?

It is up to my parents, but I think we should just take the lowest bid. It was actually my first choice on reviews.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

After work I went directly over to Inman Oasis (walking distance from work), the hot tub place, and took a shower and long soak in the community tub and now I'm so very very limp, and home.

I'd still like to be able to take a hot shower in my own little place, but this was a nice mini-vacay.

Our wings are not tired.

That's nice that it is convenient to go take a soak at least. Sorry for the expense and inconvenience of having to deal with it all.

I'm going to be an aunt again! Like next fall, but still excited. My SIL is going to be 44 next week and has tried for so many years to have a 2nd child. Her son is 6 now and it took many many years for her to get pregnant the first time. So she is so thrilled, and so sick, but she doesn't even care. She had to be induced the first time around because of blood pressure issues so we need to find a good way to keep that under control this time. Whee! So my great nephew and his wife are preggers and now my SIL. Next we hope is my DIL. Then lots of baby cousins!

That's great to look forward to in 2020!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Well, another Florida vacation ends. We have a noon flight tomorrow.
