It's amazing how much one can miss when one doesn't sit in front of a computer 9 hours a day. I just spent the time to play catch up on everyone's blogs for the past week. You guys have been busy and creative.
My week off was alright until yesterday. The DH talked me into getting my nails and toes done in preparation for the new job starting Monday. It was nice to do this for myself. I love it when my nails are done and my feet were in need of a pedicure and now my toes look so cute. However, yesterday I got a call that I won't be starting the new job on the 6th. They have pushed it back to the 13th. So this is a glass half empty, half full scenario. On the one hand we were not expecting not to have a paycheck for 3 weeks. That puts us in a tight situation and pushed the second half of the barn back yet another 2-3 weeks. It also makes for a boring second week off. No money means no frivilous trips to lunch, take in a ball game, etc.
Now I have plenty to do around the house. I am still chugging along on the special order blanket. I have almost used up my entire stash of cotton yarns for dishcloths. There's always something to do with the horses. So it's not like I am bored...just bored with what is available to do. Just having a little extra mad money would be nice. Now I'm just being whiney. I'll stop. LOL
Hi Red - sorry about having to wait an extra week. As soon as school starts back up I'll be looking for a job myself (I've been watching my grandsons for the summer). I hope I can find something. I know what you mean about being bored. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry they put you off. Just look at it as extra time to work on your special order blanket. I am working away on my projects and hope to have some pictures soon.
ReplyDeleteThings will turn out for the best, just keep positive.
(((HUGS)))
Thank you both for the kind words of encouragement. Sometimes we all just need that little extra. You guys are awesome. {{hugs}}
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing well Red. Good luck with the new job once you get started.
ReplyDeleteI have not picked up my crochet hook in months. I'm hoping the fall weather will inspire me.
Hello there. Thanks for stopping by. I hope the fall inspires you to crochet!
DeleteAt least you got your nails done before you found out. LOL I know how it is- but you'll make it through. Sorry I’m just now getting over here- I’ve had out of town company for the last 5 days! Thanks so much for letting me know where Tucker is! I wondered where that little scamp had gotten off to. LOL Doesn’t Patrice have some daughters with amazing talents?
ReplyDeleteHello! So nice of you to drop in. Yes, Patrice's daughter has crazy talent! Have a great day!
