MAKING A LONG DAY SHORT

Good morning ... Good morning!!  I think that probably sounds more cheerful than I am at the moment, but hey .. I'm alive and well in Central California.  Just a bit stressed.  

This should help that out considerably.  The big firm I'm working for part time has the worst calculator in history.  Maybe that's why things are the way they are.  So yesterday, after six grueling hours at a too small desk stacked two feet high with "stuff", I got on my phone and ordered this.  It's what I use at home and works SO MUCH better than your phone calculator!!

Six hours later I was finally done just enough to get out the door.  I'm retired, and SO not used to working that many hours in one sitting.  Unfortunately, I have to go back again this morning for some government on-line payments.  This will ease the pain!!!


The rest of the day I spent going through this Elks binder that is so full I could not close it.  I came to an amazing conclusion.  I don't need this in my life.  It's too bad because I loved the people and the "Elkdom", but that has flown out the door.  It is 100% not worth the stress of dealing with people who have no clue.  

There's a meeting tonight ... I'm not going ... and another one next week ... I'm not going to that one either.  I guess I finally just hit my limit.  When all this is over, I'll relate some of the craziness.  I have agreed to help the "King" out with Bingo until he leaves mid December.


There was one magic moment when I went to my truck after Bingo.  I found this lovely box of candy.  Someone is trying to twist my arm ..... or ruin my diet.  I've no idea where it came from, but it's the perfect size for Halloween!!!  The bribe did not work however!!!


Can you believe it?  It's October 15th already.  Weird weather is the name of the game.  We are jumping up to 88-95 for three days, then dropping like a rock to 60 degree days.  All I can say is it's about time.  Today I'll get out the electric blanket for my bed!!!

This picture?  I have absolutely NO idea where this came from.  I did not take it, nor do I think I have ever been here ... wherever HERE is.  If I took it by accident from online, it would have black space at the top and bottom. It's a ghost picture ... appearing in my phone photo album last night.  I think someone, or something is telling me to get out of town!!!  


So this blog makes a very long day look very short.  I'm tired and hungry.  Maybe some bacon will brighten my day.  That and watching Watch Kitty keep watch.  She is always on the job ... mostly ... okay, SOME of the time.  

Hope you have a great day!!!

  1. I know how much you loved the Elks Nancy, but the stress is not worth it.
    Your health is much more important.
    Rest if you can
