COLD DARK ROOM

[Momof4]

I started at

I started at Baskin Robbins! We no longer have one anywhere near us but she got a job at the first place she stopped. It’s a frozen custard place. She starts on Saturday. So excited for her!

I bet it was fun!!
His friend was hired there last week.
The kids say the manager only hires young pretty girls, so he may not get the job.

Our Spring-like temps are ending. Dark and overcast. Calling for high winds...rain....and more snow by Sunday night.

Hmmmmm. Indoor projects i guess

You could clean the inside windows!

Yesterday both of my children had dentist appointments, so afterwards we went by the pet store. They had a gorgeous mature red foot. Shocking to me, as I have never seen one here before. EVER....anyway, my son noticed him first.. out of all the other animals, and he was very adamant that we needed to bring “this guy” home.. I didn’t get him but it was driven home to me that my little one definitely has the Tortoise Bug.... Knowing that the red foot is there is driving me crazy though. Naturally, the pet store has him in a goldfish size aquarium [emoji35] I don’t have any indoor room left for an enclosure right now though... I’m mentally screaming inside[emoji37]

That’s tough!!
That’s how I acquired my 2nd RF.
I went to Petco and saw him in a tiny aquarium.
I couldn’t get him. I’m pretty sure he was a turn in because they don’t do RF and he was severely pyramided.
I watched him for 2 months and finally bought/rescued him!
I thought my husband was going to kill me but he was in China. Lol!
I’ve had him about 4yrs.

A very brief post to let you know I exist. I have had an awful week and am on antibiotics for bronchitis. I wish I could say I felt better, but I have to finish the course.

Just to add to my misery, I fell over in the shower this morning and bashed my head hard on the wall. I am so glad JoesDad is working from home today.

That's always been a worry of mine (falling in the shower). Sorry to hear you're still not up to snuff. Hope you get feeling better soon.

Must be Friday as there is not much action here, except for in Linda's shower. There was too much action going on there, but don't worry her superhero is at home to handle it.[emoji6]
@Kristoff how are you feeling? Still under the weather I presume [emoji26] Here is an umbrella to help you [emoji385] [emoji299]
Mark is either kayaking, collecting wood, buying food for Sully or going for a walk. [emoji570]
@Lynw how is it being at home? Are you able to get around and is Lola happy to be back home? [emoji217]
Noel I am waiting for today's joke. Rather looking forward to it. [emoji102]
Anne any new antics from the cat-mittee? And of course my favorite dragon.[emoji250] [emoji244]
Heather have you managed to mostly paint yourself and son ? Oh and of course the planks too! [emoji375] [emoji373]
@Bee62 how is your little dog adjusting to it's new home? [emoji190]
Yvonne have you gone for your laps yet or is it still too cold? [emoji148] [emoji149] [emoji148] [emoji149] [emoji148] [emoji149]
Kathy I am getting withdrawal symptoms, I need more updated pics of that beautiful pond of yours. [emoji228] [emoji226] [emoji225]
Cheryl please can we have a pic or two of those really cute babies you have got? I haven't had my cuteness dose today yet. [emoji217] [emoji217]
From my side unfortunately the sun came out and I did not see that rain. Was very disappointing. [emoji274]

It was raining the last couple evenings when I would have walked my laps, so I took a couple days off, but the sun is shining nicely today, so back at it again this evening. Thanks for asking!

@CarolM
We didn’t get to work on the project any yesterday. The weather wasn’t conducive and I had to get hubby off on his annual goose hunt.. I’m hoping to have good time today and this weekend... but look at the sign I’ve ordered

I love that!~!!!!!!!

I haven't been around as much this week because my household is adjusting to a new routine. Significant other started his new job on Monday, which is wonderful, but he's also having to leave 30 minutes earlier in the mornings. Shorter commute, just that he has to be there at 0800 instead of 0830. It's still hit or miss as to which of us feeds the Cat-mittee in the mornings... and the bearded dragon... and checking on the turtles, etc. I haven't had as much time in the mornings to catch up in the CDR, watch the bearded dragon's morning beard stretches, or savor my morning cup of coffee. We'll get the new routine worked out, though. It's definitely worth it.

New job! That's great. Hopefully he likes it.

Speaking of China, that reminds me of @bouaboua . I wonder why we haven't heard from him in such a long time.

 

[Maro2Bear]

Lol!! It’s your kid!!
Good luck with her job hunt too!!

My son wants a job so bad but he’s only 15.
We have a Chick-fil-A opening next year and that’s where he wants to work.

Where I grew up (Northeast Pennsylvania) any “kid” who wanted a job had one. It’s all farmland - mostly cabbage and potatoes and tomatoes. We worked all year long - from Spring-time planting seedlings right through Thanksgiving, cutting the last of the cabbage and sorting potatoes. In between...was picking peppers and tomatoes and baling hay, alfalfa, straw, etc.

Ok....now i know that you’re kidding!

Well, the rain slowed us down.
Yesterday my husband brought home the top cap wood but it wasn’t wide enough to over hang so the turtle can’t climb out. So this morning he loaded it up and will return it and buy something else.
We will work on it this weekend because we need to get the pump in before it goes stagnant.
Luckily it been cold so I think that helps.

I know!! That’s who I thought you were referring too! I miss him too!

 

[Momof4]

Nope!!

I needed more steps on my FitBit challenge so I cleaned all my windows!! Not the outside.

Do you have a bar in your shower?

My son wants a job so bad but he’s only 15.
We have a Chick-fil-A opening next year and that’s where he wants to work.

We were interested in trying at Chick-fil-A. We liked that they are closed on Sunday and I’ve heard great things about them working around after school commitments, BUT it is 10 miles away (22 minutes) and the job she got is 3 miles from the house and 5-7 minutes away. It doesn’t open until 1 on Sunday, so that means she won’t miss morning church. She won’t make as much money but she won’t use as much gas.

Chick-fil-A is a great place to work. I hope he is able to get a job there.

Dark, overcast, wetness has moved along. Sunshine and bright blue sky present. Gusting winds moving in. I see the Snowdrops popping in the garden so time for some pix. Mushy, wet garden. Boots sucking into the mud.

 

[Maro2Bear]

Spring is near.

 

[Maro2Bear]

A shame these trees are leaning and falling.....soon a lot of work.

 

[Maro2Bear]

And now the real problem with those trees...
