Friday morning

 Well I slept pretty well.  Biscuit and Cleo don't like to sleep on the feather quilt.  When I peeled it back Biscuit got in bed with me.  The next week is going to be miserable and I'm going to have to figure something out.  

I have a fleece blanket as a fitted sheet on the bed, then a couple of wool/fleece blankets on top, OK now with lows in the 40's but it's going to be a lot colder.  I also took an old sheet with some rips in it, rolled it up and used it as weather stripping around the cat door, which has some air leaks.  That helped a lot.  

Spotty is in my lap right now.  He's very cute but it is hard to type.  

Shower done, I did up some candy.  I put a packet of hot cocoa mix in each bag I thought that would be fun with the cold weather coming up.  Tract, note (I'm praying for you daily!), a handful of candy and the packet.  

I have a ride home so I will take that.  I only have to worry about getting to work.  

It should be a good day.

Incapacitating or brutal?

 It's a tossup but it was a shitkicker of a migraine.  

Most of the day was me, curled up in a ball between Cleo and Biscuit, in bed.  I felt better about 2.  Got up and did my Bible study, did up some candy, and went to the grocery store.  

My driver to come home said she was glad she got to tell me she was leaving to go work on the other side of town.  

While at the store, my boss called and asked if I could work 12-9 tomorrow and I said yes.  

Before that I had ordered a Walmart delivery of 78 pounds of cat litter, dry cat food, wet cat food, and some other things which came tonight.  2 things didn't come and they made 2 subs which were fine.  Sugarfree for a sugar version (better for me anyway) and one flavor cat treats for another.  

I feel exhausted, dizzy, and weak.  The store took it all out of me.  But I have groceries and cat stuff.  

And I'll make some more money tomorrow.

Personnel was happy to fix my problem

 They get an A+.  

I did more than asked today and one of my team leads is talking about making me full time.  I could use the money.  

Now to get home! 

That was an awful ride to work

 The first bus was fine.  The second bus had a trickier driver who is easily offended, honks a lot, cuts people off, passed people up, etc.  Very impatient.  It was exhausting even with my music on headphones. 

Now I am here.  I need to be assertive, with good boundaries, yet come off as flexible and, hopefully, invaluable.  I need to turn it over to God and let Him guide me.  

Also, it looks like we may get an ice storm next week which means no bus service.  That will be interesting.  

That's it for now.  Pray if you're led and I will always take prayer for the recipients!

Video blog I almost lost my s*@t today

 Sorry about the hair I have been battling depression today.  



I don't know if it's just me but I have a hard time admitting depression

 I took a nap, had a nightmare about my boss.  I got up, Spotty got in my lap a couple times today.  I called my aunt and we talked a little bit.  

I had a look at my schedule.  This week I work 5 hours each day Wednesday-Friday.  I suspect they may change that we will see.  I will bring a big lunch that'll hold me if I work longer.    

I am avoiding doing the dishes and cleaning out the fridge.  I also need to make some kind of lunch for the next couple days.  

Here's a video of me and Spotty talking about the new cat.  Overall he seems fine with the new cat but he will growl at him sometimes.  

Biscuit and Cleo are totally chill.  I thought for sure Cleo would have issues but she doesn't.  



The Candy Lady is back!

 Work was interesting yesterday.  I can't share much unfortunately but things are changing.  

I was happy I got to see an old friend on the way home, when I got off the bus at the grocery store my friend (not Buddy) was driving the other way and saw me, texted me.  

So I waited for him.  I was really happy the store had "my" candy back. 

I'm off today, slept in until 8.  The black cat wants to come in but Spotty objects.  We will see, I'm going to let those 2 figure it out.
