Just another day in the life

I got back on the treadmill this morning as I was feeling a bit better. Stopped at the Honda Dealership to get my nuts torqued as the tires were rotated recently. Next stop was the pet store to see about food for Misty as they have a buy 12 get one free program. I was at the door at 9:01 and they open at 9. The lights were still off and the clerk had to go to her car to get a mask. I needed assistance but she got on the phone and 9 minutes later I decided just to get something at Safeway on the way home. It was an interesting day. I only worked on two clients all day which is unusual. I did file maintenance for a lovely lady and subsidy applications for a Society. Both were satisfying and I was able to stop to meet Stacey in the parking lot to receive a grocery bag full of frozen garlic beef sausages from their ranch. I shared with Ashlée and Bill when I saw them on the street later and made room in my freezer for the rest. I like sharing the bounty as I can’t have them over to eat them. I wasn’t as tired today and I feel like my guts weren’t as upset either. Maybe the remedies are working. I did have cereal with rice milk for breakfast and a delicious teriyaki chicken bowl from Hot Shot’s for lunch in celebration of Madison moving onto another job.

I laughed so hard to get a video from Biggin Hill, UK. Those Hearnden’s, God love em they do know how to make me smile. All it takes are supersized pigeons!!

There was lots of drama at the work space today as there was a leak, across the hall from my office, thank goodness. The plumber was working up in the rafters when I left. At one point, Carrie came to me with her cactus that was struggling to live and asked if I could help. Seems I am now the plant whisperer. I took the curled up struggling overwatered Poinsettia and it is growing all kinds of green now. I repotted the cactus and have it on my window sill. She said she is giving me a rubber tree plant as well from home. I hope I can revive it as I was just thinking this morning about how my mom used to baby hers with mayonnaise wipes etc.

I was craving a Teen burger from A&W so while I was at Safeway I picked up $1 off packages of shrimp, an avocado and a couple buns. I had burger patties in the freezer and threw them on my Foreman Grill. May a delicious California Burger.

Tomorrow is bottling day so I spent part of the evening getting ready. Then I started a new puzzle of course! It is big! I signed on and found it is an anniversary! Thanks for remembering WordPress!

Now I think I shall allow myself a special gummy and a good long night’s sleep.

Haha, I totally forgot the subject that was moving me to write. I have been catching up on my evening soaps, and am impressed by how some are handling all the tough subjects right now. Honest looks at Black Lives Matter and the devastation of Covid on businesses and families. I am learning a lot. In spite of sometimes being a bit lecturing I am impressed with the information and how things are handled. Even Chicago PD, the home of getting results at all costs is towing the line. Bad cops are no longer to be entertaining. Grey’s Anatomy and Station 19 are tackling BLM. I have a black son, I have experienced his racism first hand. I still have much to learn.
