I had a pretty nice, quiet, day. I got up and spent some time on the computer, took a shower, did my God Time, went to the store. I came home, put everything up, took a nap. I did my hair, cleaned the kitchen, did some meal prep, did the dishes.
It dawned on me Ron lived his whole life entirely blind, I could certainly take care of a few chores without my glasses. My vision without glasses is about 20/100 so about "half' legally blind. I got all that done.
I was happy to get rid of this:
That's all the bones and gristle from the leg quarters. I may have missed a little meat but I got all the ick.
I spent some time stressing about work. Basically my boss doesn't want me to do my job, she keeps taking me off my job description and having me help other departments (who are happy for the assistance), do other people's work, etc. She can't retain good help she treats them badly so she is always shorthanded. And then half the ones she does hire are dead weight; who have to be fired. The good ones only stay a year or so before storming out.
She got in trouble because my primary duties, under my job description, weren't getting done. That is 100% her fault. I told her I cannot do A, B, and C. She thinks I should - she is irrational. I have asked her repeatedly to view surveilance footage of me working to see for herself if I am actually working at any given point in my day. She has refused to do that. I am documenting all the work I am doing but there's only so much I can do. So we're at an impasse.
It is pointless to worry about this stuff on my day off. One lady, who was one of the ones who stormed out "It was either walk out or kick her @ss and I'm not going to jail" said she was so stressed by the boss her hair was falling out, she wasn't sleeping. I don't want to do that.
She went up the chain of command with her issues and management basically told her to stuff it. So she walked out.
I got my hair done I have another post on that. My total cost to do it was about $5 for the henna; maybe a dollar for the apple cider vinegar, essential oils, and lemon juice (always squeeze it fresh and pick out the seeds!), tap water, a few tea bags I'd had forever we'll call that a quarter. Shower cap and gloves I am going high on this and calling it $1. About 75 cents worth of conditioner. So about $8 for supplies, 4 hours of my time. Well, 5. I had to apply it and rinse it out. And I could do housework while it was on my head. Once a month; endless compliments. Worth it. I feel much more pretty and confident.
I don't always wear makeup, when I go all out I wear some powder, clear mascara, eyeshadow, and lipstick. That seems to stay put even with rain, hot weather, lots of activity. But that's not something I'd do on a day off unless I had plans.
I never wear my hair down unless I'm sleeping. At home, at work, it's pulled back in the ponytail. Unless I just got out of the shower, like now, and waiting for it to dry. If I want to get dressy I pull the top part back in a small thin ponytail and let the sides and back hang down. I call it elf hair. Look up Galadriel or Legolas in the Lord of the Rings movies for an idea.
My parents are very busy with holiday parties. They have, in their 80's, a very active social life. It's funny. They're out, I'm deboning chicken and sleeping with Mr Kitty Cat. He snores, by the way.
I am going to do some Bible study before I go to bed tonight.
