Just another day in the life

I have been working random shifts at Arby’s for a month now. This past week was 5 in a row. This morning was a chaotic mess trying to schedule all of us for a family photo as Ash was at work and i was to cover Gene’s shift. I picked up Mom after clearing off her car for her and we went to Bill and Deanne’s to await everyone. It was all a bit of a blur but the results are amazing. I am so grateful. I wish I had thought to offer to pick up Judy as well. Sigh. I do plan to print and frame the 4 generation one for mom for Christmas. I am so grateful to Ash for how well they turned out.

This is the whole dang group of us including Jonas and Eugene, he international students and Obie of course!

I had spent the morning getting things ready to bring to Erin at Community Connections. I messaged with her and am going to drop off two afghans, the one I made during Covid and the one I finished that Judy mostly made, as well as a tent to give to those living hard on the street this winter as well as some new Tupperware containers and toys for the single mom program. It is my season of purging and paying forward the goodness I have received this life.

When I was picking up Mom there was a family of deer. Dad was particularly gorgeous and unphased by my presence.

I look forward to an evening home to try out the mask from my advent. The packaging cracks me up

Mr & Mrs seem to have come to an agreement due to Jack’s council. She is cautiously optimistic

Work was a whole lot of deep cleaning business as corporate peeps are showing up tomorrow. I closed with cherry and kish and we worked our butts off. I was pleasantly surprised when Kish stopped me on my way out to tell me how well I was doing and she was impressed how fast I caught on. That was good for my soul. It is good to hear praise from my daughter, even better from a co-worker. After all, I am there to reduce the stress, and am thankful to pull part of the load. I didn’t get home until 10 and made some perogies and beans for dinner as well as lunch tomorrow. Now off to bed!
