Ironic

That was this morning's tune... and fitting... Bear in mind our office is SUPPOSED to have 4 people in it in order to be classified "fully staffed"...we have only had 2 since Dec 6th 2007. The other "veteran" employee made it thru winter (in propane SEASON, I remind you) scarred but alive and
exhausted. On Jan 21st Northern Lights started...and Revlon started Feb 6th...FINALLY, FULLY STAFFED!! Except Winter is not over and the "VE" quit yesterday. So here I am, 2 new people to train, the 2 bosses are out for funeral arrangements and I am backlogged. I am unhappy. I put in 60 hours last week trying to get things caught up only to be back in the muck again. Frustrated. My body is desperately trying to be ill & I wont let it...I do not have TIME to be sick at this point. I also got several of the jobs from Boss2 because Boss2 is taking on the stuff VE was doing. Almost called in sick this morning but I know the office is in a bind right now so I did not. Good thing...Revlon was an hour late & Boss2 has been in & out of office dealing w/interment details. And Revlon takes off early to do some sidework for Boss1. So yeah, no time to be ill...what my body wants is long soak in tub, some herbal tea & rest... not going to happen any time soon, apparently. sigh

Violet

the song was by Courtney Love's band Hole... Violet... I have not idea why it is called violet unless it is just one of the random words from the opening lyrics... oh well! So, update... I currently have 143 cards for sale @ the Bastrop Producers Market... I know because I had to sticker them with my Vendor number yesterday... 27 of those are NEW ADDITIONS that I made yesterday before going out. Lots of fun!! A quiet week is planned... just a board meeting in N Austin at a coffee shop...how could I NOT go?! And Janee Ward's "Stepping Through the Doorway" creativity workshop @ Pine Crone Labyrinth Retreat this Saturday & Sunday. I am expecting "The Toy" to arrive Wednesday so I am pretty sure what I will be doing all of Thursday & Friday evenings :-) Stay tuned.................

The Trip That Wasn't

We were taking 32 days to go to Portland (via family and friends in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Portland, New Mexico & Texas) and back, seeing several state and national parks (including Great Basin, Crater Lake, Badlands, Mount Rushmore, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Wind Cave, and Palo Duro Canyon). On Day 1, a mere eleven miles south of the Arkansas state line, our truck broke down. We called Good Sam & they called Michael from A to Z Towing.  We spent most of 7/15 at Firestone. At 2:30pm they had a verdict, which was that the repairs were outside their scope of practice. We called Good Sam & they again called Michael from A to Z Towing, who towed us to the shop attached to the wrecker company, EZ Automotive. As the shop was closed until Monday, Michael called the owner. After explaining our dilemma permission was given to bring our camper as well as the truck. Michael set our camper down in the parking lot and ran an extension cord so we had power. We also had running water. Thankfull
