beyond bored... but friend has a Cafe Press site

Well, it is Friday....day one of my co-worker's vacation in Terlingua. And, Newest Newbie is out sick with her baby still. AND the bosses are pigging somewhere in the great state of Tx at a "Stock Show". On the good side, it has been a REALLY slow day. Nice weather tends to do that to the propane biz, LOL. So, I have been productive, in spite of the work lag. Let's see... I came in, answered a few calls, went to post office, came back and posted payments, balanced my own check books so I could pay my own bills, had an AWESOME salad for lunch (I brought it from home). Spinach, arugula, mixed greens, avocado, cherry tomatoes, feta, croutons, crab meat...YUMMY!! Then what did I do? Checked my email, posted the next Full Moon Meetup, updated my datebook, ordered training manuals from RCG for the upcoming Advisory... and ordered 2000 crickets!! Now, onto Survey Monkey so I can help out with the planning for our groups 2nd Thursday stuff!!

Yooper Trip 2025

Image
We finally made it to the Upper Peninsula! Getting here wasn’t exactly smooth sailing, but hey—that’s part of the adventure, right? Friday night, we pulled the RV up to the house to start packing, and in true “oops” fashion, managed to fry the wiring in the entire living room. Turns out plugging the RV into the outside outlet while the hot tub was still on the same circuit was not our brightest idea. So now the living room is dark and moody. Issue#1 on the now-growing list of things we have to deal with upon our return. Don’t worry—Issues #2 and #3 will make their grand appearances later. We kicked off August 9th bright and early, tackling the usual last-minute scramble: packing the stragglers, taking out the trash, and finishing the dishes. All that domestic hustle before… heading to work. Because apparently vacations don’t start until after the real workday. This was our third adventure in the Itasca. Trip #1, I had to meet her on the road (thanks, work), so I drove the tow car. Tr...

and soon, the Summer Solstice

The weather here has been beautiful lately—overnight lows in the upper 60s and daytime highs barely nudging into the 90s. Living near the water has its perks; there's a steady breeze that makes things feel pleasant overall. We’ve even been able to open the windows some days. And I have been taking my motorcycle out more, even riding it to work some days.  Work at Office Depot is still going well. I do wish it weren’t a full 40 hours a week, but that’s not something I can change at the moment. Thankfully, it’s mostly stress-free—apart from the usual nonsense that comes with retail. Some customers really seem to be trying to wear down my last nerve, and the entitlement levels can be unreal. But not all are bad—some are kind, and some are even grateful, which helps balance things out. I’ve been able to carve out a little time for art on Fridays, which—for now—seems to be consistently one of my two days off. Sundays are my other day off, but those tend to be reserved for family time an...
