    It has come time to find a new job. I could rant about it, but actually, I am really ready to move on and happy to do so. I am thankful that I have the ability, experience and resume that allows me to continue on an upward direction for my profession. I cannot wait to put in my 2 week notice with my current contract. Applications are out and I'm excited to get a change of pace. And on top of all of that, tomorrow is opening day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Freshmen son first league game on varsity squad gets an assist and goal. He did not start the season with the best attitude due to not starting, but he’s making the best of it now.

    Not a best thing really but a pleasant surprise
    I don't do grocery bags so they pack a cart.
    This was a young clerk who takes pride in her work that packed my cart. BTW most all have me pack my cart. You'd think she was packing her own suit case....young person that takes pride in there job.

    Daughter is coming over this afternoon with her friends for a booze cruise on the pontoon. Got it all gassed up, still have to wipe down the cushions and vacuum the carpet but it will be all ready to go when she gets here. Brat is not bringing the Grandson to hang with me though.

    Well before covid NY went to charging for bags or use your own. After covid I started cleaning ALL groceries before putting them in my own bags. Then they said it was a low contact issue. Well I had already learned just how FILTHY groceries are. I also had started watching other shoppers. You have just no idea how many snotty sneeze laided hands touch groceries, people touch and don't take. It is beyond GROSS!! I will ALWAYS clean my groceries before they enter my house from now on.

    Just hook the cart up to your trailer hitch and tow it home...... less handling.

    Lol....still need to clean before getting into house...think about how many hands touch your groceries. How often do you think young stock boys or old stock men really wash their hands. This before the general public gets to them.

    I finally have the garage all organized funny when you go from a garage and a shop to a 1-1/2 car garage and a 12x12 shed how you have to prioritize. Looks like I will have space for my project boat that I will finish instead of selling as a project. Sorry honey you are parking outside, and don't complain you have remote start. I am pondering finding a small lot and building a shop close by.
