No Pictures To Share, Sorry!!

Sorry that it has been so long since I have posted. I am trying to do it more but most of the time there isn't too much to say.

It has been so cold today. It is 5:50 in the evening and the sun is still shining. Not too bright, but still shining. It is such a great sign for SPRING!! I love this time of year. I can't wait for the peonies to come up. I am trying to get my Baby to order some packets of vegies. I don't eat them, but I know he likes to garden. I love to plant and garden as well, until it gets a 100 degrees, then my happy butt stays in. I have had too many bouts with heat exhaustion. From 1994-1998 I milked cows for a farmer out in Nebraska and not only did I milk the cows, but I also moved irrigation pipe in the corn fields. I didn't do it alone, of course, but it was a long hard day. I started out at 4:30 a.m. and didn't get done until 8 that night. Milking twice that day and moving the pipe. So no I don't do the heat too well. Michael and Bill are wonderful to me, they know the signs for me to go and sit down. My face gets blotchy pink and I start breathing really funny. My ex used to make me still work, but not my Baby. He kinda gets mad at me because I don't know when to quit. I am so terrible and I want to ge tit done no matter what. So they kinda worry about me. Two years ago Michael was very worried about me. As soon as I got in the house and run cool water over my wrists and wiping my face, he really worried. So most of my time I try to NOT do that to them.

It is after 6 right now and the sun is starting to set. It won't be too much longer and it will be 7 and just setting. There were about 12 robins in the backyard playing and pecking the ground. It won't be too long until they start getting worms. My Baby and I was talking just this morning about going fishing. I CAN'T WAIT!! I told him that I was going to take off a Saturday, not too far in the future, and take a vacation day, if I have to. But I will probably have to work that Sunday or Monday. HEAVEN FORBID I get a vacation day. I think that I have 18 hours or so. I think that I should have some sick time as well, but I haven't checked that one out yet.

Yesterday, my Baby got us a checking account finally, so we can get his money from pay-pal, and so I don't have to wait for the post office to send us our paycheck. I am getting really tired of not getting it on Friday. Payday is supposed to be Saturday, but for a really long time we were getting it on Fridays. But for the last 3 paychecks I have gotten them on Saturday. One week we didn't get it until Monday. Which really upset the apple-cart. They have a plan in place incase that ever happens. But, of course we didn't get that. They are SUPPOSED to be pay us out of the safe, and we just sign over the checks to Caseys'. But they didn't do that, they just waited. Of course, the manager, assistant manager, and a couple of other employees get their's on Friday morning (actually Thursday night at midnight) SO they don't care. Actually the assistant manager said that Saturday, when I asked her if she called the Post Office to see if they came in, she said and I quote "No, I didn't, I already got mine and it is gone, I don't care about the others'" unquote. I was actually SHOCKED. My Baby was actually MAD, I couldn't believe it. Yes, I could, but she and the manager could care a little wouldn't you think? I have heard Patsy say the same thing. Actually she said that if anyone complains about getting them on Saturday, then that is what she is going to do is hold the check until Saturday. Well, YEAH, because she already has HERS.

Anyway, it is almost 6:30 and I am almost done complaining. I was trying not to talk about that place. It is almost sunset. Actually there isn't too much longer and the streetlights will be on. Like another minute or so. And my bath is almost done. WHOOOOHOOO!! I love taking a bath. SO have a great night, and hold your Baby real tight.

Gosh, Roxie..you do have to put up with a lot of inconvenience with your job.

I wish people would try to be more sensitive to the needs of others, but I'm afraid that's just the way it is in the world we live in today.

At least at home, you have people who love you, and are considerate of your feelings. :)

Yes, Jan I do. That is why I can't wait to get home to be with them. I thank God everyday for my Baby. ;) Thank you for noticing and your stopping by. It has been wonderful thinking that someone actually reads my blog. Thank you, Roxi
