For those who i haven't told via discord or zoom. I'll be taking a hot air balloon ride with my dad and bro for Father's day. My brother arranged it since apparently my dad has been leaving hints. And he rarely does hints on gifts. We'll be taking a 3-3.5hr flight for Sunset. While I'm excited....I'm also freaking out because my brother and I both are terrified of heights. 🤣

All the hugs and feels your way hun.

Whooooooo gurl yaas!

Today starts a long ass week of 9 day straight work week. Mainly because I asked for time off next weekend so that I can do a friends small vaxxed bday gathering. For preparation I am practicing test cookie decorating for the occasion. She likes the Untitled goose game so I'm finding ways of how I want to decorate it and this is test #1. Not too terrible for first attempt. (I was testing cutter sizes too to make sure how much space I had to work with)

Honestly I've gotten semi-used to waking up early. I've been doing the Scan team for roughly 2 1/2 years now and there's a few pros to it - More productivity than being in a checkstand - Pretty much all shifts begin either 3-1 hour before we officially open the store so I don't have to interact with customers as much and when we do open it's what early birds there are that come in but pretty much don't tend to bother you unless they need to. - I get out earlier in the day with gives me the rest of the time to either run errands, somewhat have a social life/plans afterwards - I get to have my music on me until we open the doors. - Having Scan shifts in between cashier shifts helps my sanity of the stupidity of the checkstands with either people or coworkers drama. Cons: - Dealing with weirdo/druggies/shoplifters when we open the store - Getting up early - Occasionally knees or thighs aching from constant squats. - Still waking up early on days off or if I'm scheduled later in the day shifts. (My internal "sleep in time" is roughly 5:30-6 am)

Glad things are doing okay there for the most part. We've been slightly having some crazy weather here to where we've been having flood warnings near main rivers but overall nothing yet. Winter should be fun.

I definitely got too used to doing morning and Scan shifts at work. Today was the first time in forever I got a shift started at 1:30. And of course dealing with the closing team that is usually the worst because they don't want to do anything in closing duties. Work wasn't horrible at least. But after all that and getting ready to watch new GoT on my friends HBO Now account. I click on the ep and even though I made sure they resubscribed their account it keeps telling me that they have to renew. T_T so no new GoT right now. At least I have tomorrow off.

Is that his way of saying Jovanna needs to do some good deep on him? Like a cavity search deep?

One of my friends got a Hundai Hybrid and he's been loving it. He got to get a real good drive into it heading down to OR and back.

God the last few days have been insane. So I had one of my SCA events over the weekend. This one is our Spring-Summer open to the public demo event where we demo all the things we do to Moderns as we call them (kinda think of it like Muggles i guess?). Thurs and Fri set up day. Sat is the demo. And Sunday is remainder of tourneys and tear down. Got home from tear down around 5ish, unloaded car, showered, ate and then passed the fuck out before working today. Tomorrow is a day off to do all the laundry, car wash and what not. So very tired. but loads of fun with good friends.

Busy weekend was busy but semi good. Was part of a big parade to promote Ren-faire I work for. Then spent the rest of the weekend hanging out with a couple friends and their kid. Something I do from time to time. Today though while the wifey was at work me and the hubby go out and hang in a park with their daughter, who is 4. She's a total dork but a cutie and the park we chose has a nice foresty path to a beach but as we got closer to the beach itself it was kind of a slippery down slope so I'm telling her to be careful and wait for daddy to help her down. Well once she was clear and I tried to go down without help I did the exact opposite of what I told her and slipped, tried to break my fall with the tree and failed. Tumble rolled into the brambles and slammed onto my back onto the sand. So picture below is thankfully the worst of my injuries along with a couple more scratches on my right side and a bruise on my left knee. After making sure I was fine I tell my friend's 4 year old and told her "This is why you listen to mommy and daddy, because I failed to do that" Also quoted from Goro on my FB about this "Wow looks like your 4 songs into a My Chemical Romance album, ouch all the same" fucking asshole (sick burn tho really)

Butterscotch chip oatmeal cookies. I make them every Christmas

I'm so sorry for your loss. Especially when you didn't get the chance to say what you wanted.

It's amazing how much people act the way they do to other humans. Granted I'm no saint myself but I try really really hard not to go out of my way to be a dick.

Sorry that shit is sucking but I'm glad you've had some silver lining to it. *hugs* We love you guys!

Whoot!

Congrats!

There's a lot of promotions that I agree are BS. the "Have to buy 4 to get it at this sale" or the "DIGITAL ONLY COUPON" which of course drives my older customers nuts and our higher ups just go back n forth on "do it for the customer" and "uphold policies" shit. Just make it the fucking sale price, one and done, keep your people coming regardless of competitors. But I know that's not how it works.

GIMME DAT BLT!

Remember I've only traveled as far as AZ for a hot second (which I know hardly makes a shit difference ) but nope , I ain't heard of no snake hoe. I've got gardening hoe, sexy hoe and Idahoe

Told ya!

Especially while the day is sunny and I can have the windows/sliding back door open to air out. (And clean out some of the roomie's bedroom because he's bad about it! )

No I mean in the 18 years I've worked for Albertsons-turned into-Safeway it's always been Weds for ad changes. We rarely do 2 day sales anymore. Once and awhile they'll pop up but hardly ever anymore. Whoever created the first coupon though I hope their soul burns in hell.

The facility made sure she had drugs and oxygen to keep her comfortable. when dad told me last night what was going on they were expecting her to last maybe the week. So I'm very glad it didn't drag out that long for her. We've also had crazy stormy weather up here including tornado warnings in some spots so my dad was lightly joking how she is going out with a bang. I know I'll remember her best when cooking/baking because majority of my stronger memories of her is at gatherings and her always prepping the best food in the kitchen. One of my favorite cookie recipes are hers.

Indeed but I'm sure she'll have plenty other sagas of the Opossums
