Sunrise

Yesterday morning, and the best part was that it wasn't 4:30 or 5:00 am! It was about 7:00!

My peeps and I had a date to go out for lunch yesterday. Not to a new restaurant, It just has new management about every year or 2.

I had 5 on my list, and when it came time to go, I had 2. The manager was in the dining room, and asked me how many were going.
Me: "JUST 2, I GUESS THE REST WANT TO STAY AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THE FISH! Did I say that outloud?"

So we went anyway. After lunch, one of the ladies gets out her wallet to pay, and keeps handing me change and asking, "If that's enough?"
Me: "Do you have any paper money?"
Her: "Oh I probably do."

We then went for an hour long drive.
That'll fix the ones that stayed behind.

I had a text from my other job when I was parking the bus, so went over there after work to do some payroll!
After not 1, not 2 maybe 3 screw ups on one cheque, I said,"This is stupid, no one can go to the bank before Monday anyway!"

My friend P came out to have a beer by the fire last night, and it was a lovely evening!

This was my messy craft room desk this morning.

This was my desk before 8:00 am! See the stupid blue lamp!?

I'm hoping I have enough to buy a light from Michaels when I go this week!

I think they're called OTT Lights?!

They're a natural light.

Then I can put the blue light in a bedroom!

I then washed and hung out 2 loads of laundry.

Shut the fridge off in the camper, and scrubbed it out.

I also put the anti freeze in the lines. I think I'm getting too efficient at the camper stuff!

I don't know what a 'P trap" is, but I had pink anti freeze coming out of every tap, and the toilet!

I'm hoping that's a good thing!

I dug some of the potatoes, I have about 3/4 of a milk crate full, dryed off and put away.
I'll only have 2 milk crates tops! We usually have enough to last until New Years. I have no place to store them, and I had 41 unhills in the raised garden! They're unhills, cause I plant them to China, cause I can't hill them up there!
I see 'my other job' called while I was outside at that time!
I told him yesterday that it was Saturday, I wasn't coming in!

The Cranberry Pepper Jelly I wanted to try is in the pantry.

I sorted the bottles from the OFH. They're in the van.

I've blanched tomatoes to make salsa tomorrow.

I got lazy cabbage rolls in the slow cooker to put on tomorrow.

I was winding down, about 5:00 pm and Ray calls and asks if I'm busy!?
Me: "Yes."
Ray: "We'll be going for supper soon, can you bring me my slippers?"
Me: "Where are you?"
He gives me detailed instructions, tells me the color of the combine he's driving, and I deliver his slippers!? Slippers?! WTH!
I didn't even ask!
He helps some neighbors farm in the spring and fall.

The only thing I didn't get done was wash the outside of the skylight!!!!
We have had hurricane force winds, and don't think I'm climbing up on the roof! What if the ladder blows over!?
I also didn't get my new light up.
Maybe tomorrow, but I really want to get to that shed that didn't get finished last weekend!

I've also already had a soak in my tub!
With the Reader's Digest......I think Septembers......I'm behind.....and a Corona....blech!
I think that was the last one! Thank GOD!
I'm a Kokanee girl myself!

Better go. Gotta pay my bills, and maybe I'll try to order some drapes, and maybe see what's on TV.

Ta ta for now!

Papper...I Mean Pepper Jelly!

I put papper jelly on my Facebook status last night, and haven't heard the end of it!
It's Pepper Jelly all right!?
It finally got made tonight!
I WAS going to make it last night....got the peppers ready (yup, wore rubber gloves this time), turned the canner on, went to put my jars in the sink to sterilize, and only 4 lids to fit!
That was the end of that!
I usually have an overabundance of lids....so DID stock up today!
Here's the proof!

There's my batch of salsa behind my red and green Pepper Jelly!
I'll try my new recipe over the weekend. Cranberry Pepper Jelly, as soon as I find the rest of my jars, cause I just KNOW that everyone I gave jam & stuff to in the small jars, has returned them.
I must have miss placed them! ;)

I also made the O/S a Halloween card. And as soon as I find his address I'll send it to him, hopefully he'll get it between, arriving from his CRUISE and going to Germany!
I think he said they'd be in Guatemala in the next day or 2.
He has to work, so won't be spending any money!

This is the second time I uploaded this darn card. Nothing special, but I'm thinking that Co-ordinations paper is fast becoming my fav! And this picture doesn't do that paper justice! It's either black or a really dark green with almost a neon green that I embossed and sanded!
I was just fooling around, and made the pumpkin out of an oval punch.
I'm really not getting serious about anything until after the Christmas Tree ATC's.
I think I'll wander over to CCAYR in the next day or 2 to see what the October Challenge will be!
Hahaha, the card is sitting on my DS, which I was playing for a while before making this card!
The inside says 'sending Halloween smiles across the miles.'




Oh boy, remember a post or 2 ago I cryed you a river about working with idiots, and maybe they'd like me full time at my other job?
Monday the conversation went like this!
D came in, so I took my sticky notes for him to his office.
He was lounged back with his feet on his desk.
Me: "What are you doing?"
D: "I'm not gonna do anything."
Me: "You got a hang over that just won't quit?"
D: "That's the trouble Gail, at least a hang over goes away, I don't know what I picked up. I'm waiting for Tyson, then going home to bed."
Me: "OK fine! I brought you some more sticky notes but you haven't even looked at the ones from last week."
D: "You know what Gail, you need to be here full time, you can drive that f'en handi van once a week."
Me: "I'll think about it, but you ask me when you mean it."
D: "I'll bring it up at the next meeting."
It won't be a meeting, he'll just tell them how it's going to be.
I've thought a little about it.
That job is my spending money.
I pay my bills & stuff with the OFH job.
My other job pays better, but I can have a sick day here and there at the OFH.
I'm thinking I can negotiate something. 
I've only told 2 of my friends, and one is my immediate supervisor at the OFH. She said: "Well I feel sorry for me. You'll be bored."
My BBF said: "Well you've got a decision to make."

Good thing I'm not losing any sleep over it....yet!
I was fretting that I ran off the October calendar and newsletter for the OFH, and I think the only birthday I put on there for October was the Cadillac! Damn!
Oh well, it gives the residents something to talk about. I always tell them there will be a test on the newsletter and calendar!

Better go, got an e-mail today saying my drapes were cancelled! hahahahaha, the ones in stock, then will be shipped December 23. Now they're cancelled. Forgot the e-mail at work or I'd call, guess I'll be shopping online again!

Ta ta for now!
