I'm baaaaaack...

 

Hi. It's been a long time. 

It's been a rough time.

We lost the house, and have been living in a single room in a hotel - Sis, Mom, and me. We had to find new homes for Miss Muffin, Teddy, Amy, and Gigi because there was a limit as to how many pets we could have in one room, and we couldn't afford two rooms. It nearly killed us all. Sammy died over the 4th of July. It was completely unexpected and gut wrenching. Sissy desperately needs a new hip and is in constant pain, but her heart seems to be holding up pretty well. Mom is, well, Mom. She will be 86 this month and is still running strong, although a little slower. Otherwise, we are doing pretty well. Managed to avoid Covid so far, so there's that to be thankful for as well.

I'm still working for the transportation company, but work has been so incredibly slow that I had to get a second job. I'm now working nights for Amazon in a warehouse about 40 minutes north of our hotel. It's incredibly physical for a gal that has spent the last 36 years sitting on her fat butt behind a desk, but I'm managing pretty well. It's a 10.5 hour shift, and you are only able to sit down during your two ten minute breaks and half hour lunch. Otherwise, you are on your feet the entire time. I'm getting used to it, and have even lost a few pounds! It's literally a half mile walk from the front door to the area where I work. Seriously. I've mapped it. So I'm walking about twelve miles a month just going from my car, into the building, and back. Woo hoo! I'll take it any way I can get it. The pay is good and so are the benefits, so I'll keep doing it for as long as I can; but I'd really like to go back to an office job.

I've updated my pages and have even added a few new ones. I hope you enjoy them! I've been trying to be productive and learn a few new things. I have a laptop now, so I hope to get back into the swing of blogging again. Wish me luck!

Oh, and Mrs. Weenie says hello. TTFN.
