LAST DAY
Today is my last day at the present job. I would have liked to leave with a flourish, if only in my mind, but Morpheus was evasive last night, so I imagine at the end of my shift I will be limping out of there, clenching my teeth with pain in my back, as usual. One of my friends, hearing my plans,... Sign in to see full entry.

ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS
Beautiful weather in my mountain right now, 24C which is around 75F, I believe. Sun is shining with a few puffy clouds in the sky, but no mention of rain in the forecast. Guess there will be some watering to do in the garden, although I’ll wait on Karen to get back this afternoon to be certain.... Sign in to see full entry.

FEELIN' GOOD!
We did get to visit our friend, bringing along a care package, in which was included some cinnamon buns baked while the oven was hot. We spent a couple of hours chatting and laughing with her, only leaving when the storm started. On the way home I had to drive around some big branches that the heavy... Sign in to see full entry.

ABOUT SURPRISES!
I was up at 4:30 this morning actually feeling energetic. After the first coffee, of course. When I get home from the job I am beat, especially at the end of 4 BUSY days in a row. Within a couple of hours I am snoozing sitting at the table. Poor Karen. She spends the day alone taking care of the... Sign in to see full entry.

UPDATE
It’s a crazy time here! From work there are people on vacation, others who have resigned, and with this area full of lakes and cottages, summer tourist season is in full swing. It’s rare we are not very, very busy. I’m enjoying meeting all the new clients, most in great moods because of the... Sign in to see full entry.

EARLY START, COVID, AND A VISITOR!
Last night, in full busy time, I was asked if I would come in earlier and open this morning. Well, DARN! I did agreed to do it (already suspecting that it would be a long day, my insomnia being what it is) because I knew two of the younger co-workers were under the weather, both of them planning to...

ANOTHER UPDATE
It has been a crazy couple of weeks. Lots of things happening but, because I am mostly at work (vacation times, employee changes, etc.) and am not supposed to talk about what goes on there…well, it limits what I can write. I am seriously considering forgetting that rule; there is nothing detrimental... Sign in to see full entry.
