Back in the days I would share all the details of my day at work, what I did, etc. I have pest issues so I can't share what I do for a living other than a generalized "Walmart Associate". Sorry, it has to be that way, she has proven she will try to ruin my life if at all possible.
Someone asked me if she "loves" me. I don't know if she thinks she does but she does think she knows, better than I, what I need to do with my life. And I'm not granting her the right to tell me what to do.
So, that said, I can share some things about my day yesterday. I expected it would be busy, so I brought 2 meals in my lunch kit. A pork chop with blackened onion cream gravy over mixed vegetables, and a very nice lentil curry with vegetables and a little bit of rice (I think about 1/4 rice in each serving). They were both delicious, I ate the curry on my break about 3 hours in and the pork chop on my lunch about 3 hours after that.
I had to bring a specific item to work. I got 95% of the way to the bus stop (it was cold too) before I remembered so I had to go back, get it, and go back out to the bus stop. I should have been able to catch the next bus about 10 minutes later but she was half an hour late so I ended up waiting in the freezing cold for almost an hour. Not a good start.
A good start: I wore my compression socks. They were an expletive to get on but I did it (getting them off when I got home wasn't much easier) but they did a good job and my feet did not hurt all day. I attribute some of that to eating real foods and the rest to the socks and changing out my shoes regularly (with good insoles).
So I got to work about 45 minutes later than I had planned but an hour and fifteen minutes before I needed to start. One of my coworkers had called me on the way asking when I'd start so I knew it was going to be spicy. My boss called, livid, about half an hour before I started, demanding to know where I was and ordering me to meet her. I told her I'd be happy to clock in, early.
That took her aback. I think she assumed I started at 9 or 10, not 10:30. She said to wait until scheduled and hung up. I did that.
I got to work immediately and was busy all day. I did see some cute fleece PJ pants for $5.
I should probably put in a note about my shoes. I wear a very basic $18 shoe from the men's department, the Athletic Works. I pimp it out with some Airplus insoles (the blue gel one first and then he gray work insole on top). I get the 11 W in Men's. I have really big feet and they have gone up 2 sizes since I started working at Walmart. On average, on a work day, I walk about 8 miles a day. The whole setup costs about $35 and I try to rotate them every 2 months or so. Works for me, my feet love them and are happy. I'm all about making my feet happy.
But the shoes are ugly so I got some cute laces last time. That's what you see in the photo. And my very old straight leg jeans.
So I put in a good day. I bought the pants on my lunch actually and then got laundry detergent on my way home. I have the house pretty cold trying to save on bills. I am fine, I have warm slippers which I've found are pretty vital.
The cats are good, only Spotty slept with me for some reason but it was nice having him. Biscuit seemed to spend the night in my computer chair and Cleo likes the couch near the kitchen table.
I plan to buy a small space heater for the bathroom when I take my shower but for now I turned up the heater a little prior to that. I will probably wait until I can use my discount (after the 8th we get an additional one time discount) on that. I can only use it in store.
That's it for now; I don't have much planned.
