Jeebus šæ we were slammed tonight. Management _shut off online orders for an hour_ just to help us get somewhat caught up, and it was still just insane-o-pants.
Also, the lovely lady who does our dishes has been out sick with pneumonia, so on top of everything else, we have that to deal with.
There just arenāt enough people on the roster.
ā¦ but our teenage crew brought roses FOR EVERYONE.
She doesnāt know about **Other Shoe** and why tonight is not a fun day for me.
But I brought home a lovely orange rose, and salvaged a creamy-white one at the last minute. Weāll see if it rallies.

I asked a colleague about her plans for the weekend and she mentioned that her boyfriend is taking her out to dinner for VD and asked what hubby and I are doing for VD. We did the same thing weāve done for years. Ignored it. I was looking at the chocolate and flowers by the cash register last night and all I could think of how high the packaging to content ratio is.

I read this as another indicator that the management is skimping on proper maintenance, repair and modernization. When itās windy some elevator doors donāt like closing, but there are solutions. [Are Your Elevator Doors Not Closing Properly?] ([Are Your Elevator Doors Not Closing Properly? |](https://prideandservice.wordpress.com/2013/12/04/are-your-elevator-doors-not-closing-properly/)) When itās really windy out, the elevator shaft at work becomes a wind tunnel, and the wind makes a lot of noise. The elevator doors still close, no problem.

Are there also milk shortages? Iāve only heard about the egg situation. I think eggs, on average, are more expensive in the U.S. than here in Switzerland.

Pretty colors. After many years of disliking orange (my jr high school colors were orange and bright blue), Iām starting to like orange and even bought a rust-colored sweater.
So we have blue sky and weāre just below freezing, with a high of just above freezing. I need to get dressed and pull some stuff out of the freezer in the cellar, go to the store for milk and whatever else I need (thatās why I have to go to the freezer first - not sure whatās in there) and then weāre going for a walk. Towels are sloshing away and thereās more paperwork and baking to be done in the afternoon. Lunch will probably be hot dogs at the beer place. And there will be beer.
Happy Saturday!

Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to heave.
When I was eating my tacos, some of the sauce dripped on the table. When I came back to clean it up, _somebody_ was teabagging the sauce spot. š Heās lucky it wasnāt Carolina Reaper, or heād be singing Jerry Lee Lewis.

Morning, mumpers! Itās currently 3c/37f with a predicted high of 4c/38f and cloudy. Weather app says āItās fucking black over Billās motherās fucking house today.ā Itās definitely cloudy, and drizzly today. Not quite black over Billās motherās though.
Thank you all for your concern about Shadow, to be honest I was prepared for an emergency vet visit today. I went to bed around 11pm and 'im indoors spent most of the night on the sofa with him as heād had a couple of little āaccidentsā during the evening. This morning, Shadow seemed much more like his usual self, he was sitting in the junk room doorway as heād been in there to use the litter tray. He followed me into the kitchen and had a healthy helping of salmon with his meds on it, he then used one of the other litter trays, and has come into the kitchen every time Iāve gone in there and had a bit more salmon. I am very happy to see him looking more like his usual self but weāll continue to keep an eye on him. Heās due a vet visit on Tuesday for his arthritis shot so Iāll talk to them about what happened.
My biggest worry is that our beloved Ophelia had the same things going on, although she was much worse. She also had thyroid issues along with heart problems and what appeared to be feline dementia. She slept under the duvet on a little nest of towels and puppy pads as she would sometimes wee in her sleep. Shadow has the same thyroid meds and has a heart murmur (although not medicated yet), and yesterday he had a wee on the footstool while he was eating, and again on the floor while he was drinking from the water bowl. However, today he is eating and drinking normally, and using the litter trays so Iām hoping this was just a big blip for him.
Todayās agenda includes a trip to the pet store for cat litter and treats ('im indoors gets to do the lifting and carrying), and probably a wander into town for something or other. Then we are going out for a curry at our favourite local pub and then off to see Dreadzone - a bit of a departure from our usual kind of music!
Happy Saturday, everyone!

I had my Aerostar for close to 14 years, but it was so used and abused, I couldnāt keep it any longer, dammit. I really liked that van.

I have a car key, a key to Daughterās house, and (I think) a key to our basement door, plus a couple of discount tags (Food Lion and BoatUSA) on my key ring. Since we always come and go via the garage, I donāt need a front door key, nor do we have one as far as I know.

In our 41+ years together, weāve managed to pretty much ignore VD, apart from the joke about buying the car. Altho one year, I made heart-shaped cakes for each of us to take to work - both said āHappy VD!ā Ah, the silliness of youth!

I remember seeing many such plates along I-95 south, especially when we lived in the Jacksonville area.

Some years back, we had a repair guy in for our washer. We were talking about replacing it the next time it acted up and he told us to avoid Maytag. Apparently the company was bought by another that wanted the reputation but started cheaping out on parts. He said many of the parts that used to be metal were now being made from plastic or nylon, so they failed more often. So we didnāt buy one as we had intended.
Weāre promised mild temps this weekend (up to low 60s tomorrow) but lots of rain (possibly 1.5" all told) and very high winds tomorrow. So, in all, a soggy, unpleasant weekend. Iāll be running to Loweās and Mart Of Wal after lunch but not much else on the agenda. Perhaps some roll-suckage, and posslible even (brace yourselves) dustage! š®
Speaking of shoulders, my right shoulder seems to be much better, despite kinda forgetting to do my exercise regularly. But I have been stretching it and as the aches diminish, I use that arm more, so I think Iāve unfrozen it. Guess I did right by not making an ortho appt (which I avoided because I _HATE_ our local ortho practice.) I had a considerable pain in the butt yesterday, literally, and Iām pretty sure it was from when I cleaned the pellet stove. There was much up and down from being on my knees - just not used to that of late. I swear, this getting old crap doth truly sucketh the big green weenie!
But Iām completing caffeination, and eventually, Iāll shower and dress mostly like an adult. Then weāll see what the day brings.
Happy Cheap Chocolate Day!!

Morning all. Up early to go help get the indoor soccer setup a 7am, but turned out they had done 70% of the work last night, so was a quick visit. Have broken fast and have the first ofr two, maybe three loads of laundry working, so that should take care of the morning. Supposed to get near 70F today, but rain overnight will take us down to the 40ās tomorrow. Coach soccer this afternoon, but thatās about all I have planned.

Good morning.
Itās 36F and cloudy outside. Itāll be considerably cloudy all day, with afternoon rain showers and an expected high temperature of 44F.
**Hippie,** Iām so very sorry for the loss of your nieces.
**Shoe,** Iām sending you hugs.
**BooFae** , Iām glad the doctor provided a note stating that you shouldnāt work. Please get some rest. Iām also happy that Shadow seems to be acting more like his usual self.
**VanGo,** yay for an official job offer start date and new wheels!
Iām also happy to read the littles are feeling better.
I havenāt even been able to take a peek at the MPP this week, so I had a lot to catch up on. I know I missed a lot, but know that Iām sending appropriate yays, hugs, and boos.
This week has been god-awful. Iām exhausted; my gut is always full of acid, Iām angry, Iām grieving, and itās just an awful mess of everything. They will not leave us alone, and I donāt know how much more I can take. We lost three excellent employees on the 13th who were released simply for being probationary. They are now coming after the rest of us.
I know many people care. One gentleman came to our building with boxes of cookies and a lovely card with a note stating how much he supported us and how badly he felt about the goings-on. Some of our staff members who deal with clients have received very supportive emails begging them not to give up.
However, the constant bombardment of nasty memos is awful. I flinch when I read some of them. We donāt deserve this.
Hubby wants to go to lunch today and find a new place to eat. In the past, I would have been excited about that. Now, I want to hibernate. Iāve been gone every day this week, and all I want to do is stay home. I should probably get out and about. I do have to go to the store to get more dog food. I gave the pups the last of it this morning.
Time to finish loading the dishwasher and sweep the floor. Take care.

Milk tends to get sold out when inclement weather is predicted. As far as the price of eggs in Switzerland, yāall donāt tend to have the factory egg farms that we do here. When diseases like avian flu strike, flocks in the tens of thousands have to be put down, the facilities sanitized and a new flock brought in. It takes the new flock several months to begin laying on a regular basis, so there are egg shortages that account for price increases. I usually switch to cage free eggs when that happens because theyāre usually less expensive.

I thought the [shelter](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_FAqr6rP4w) took care of that before you brought Spot home.
Iām curious, **VanGo** , what kind of car did you get (if you mentioned it before, I missed it).
**{{{taters}}}**
I awoke around 0400 to the sound of crashing thunder booms and a neighbor across the fenceās car alarm going off (thatās a pretty regular occurrence). Itās still storming and will be for most of the day. I think Iāll follow **swampy** ās lead and do an RDOS day.
Stay safe and healthy yāall!

**{{{taters}}}** - I canāt even imagine. Hang in there and bitch in here - venting may help, even a little.
Weāre just back from the marina. Our bimini gave up the ghost - the fabric dry-rotted and tore lose, so we unzipped what remained and tossed it into the dumpster. On the way home,we discussed alternatives, beyond āwear a hat on the fly bridge.ā Yet another task to deal with.
Iāll be leaving in a couple of hours to do my erranding. Rain hasnāt started yet - I guess itās waiting for me to be out there. Not that Iām a CT or anything, but, well, yannoā¦ š
Iām wondering if I should ever bother making supper again. We seem to be drifting towards breakfast for supper - cereal, french toast, omeletsā¦ But Iāve got a freezer full of chicken, poke, beef, and assorted seafood. Maybe those will become lunch?
Speaking of lunch, I should probably build a sammich soon - early breakfast means early lunch, too. Off to the kitchen!

Yes. Here, RNs are authorised to trim diabeticsā toenails. LPNs arenāt. Cosmetologists? Unlikely!
Did I post about Valentineās Day? Sorry if I already did. We had our Valentineās Dinner Out on Thursday, because every place around here was booked on Friday. So last night I did make the Angus rib-eyes I mentioned earlier, creamed spinach with feta, and reheated Yukon Gold mashed potatoes with garlic. After dinner I gave The Missus a card, and a box of six assorted chocolate truffles from Blaine Bouquets. They had nine kinds to choose from, but only six would fit in the box. She said sheās allowing herself _one_ per night because theyāre an indulgence. So she had the salted dark chocolate one and the coconut one. š

My key ring has a house key, the key to my Tacoma and an Apple Airtag.
When I was working I had two key rings. The other ring had ten keys that would open almost every make and model fire alarm panel. I had a coffee can in my van that had all of the fire alarm keys, all of the elevator control keys, a set of security door lock master keys and a plastic jar that held all of the door keys from customers that trusted us.

I havenāt been following your troubles. Iām assuming youāre a government employee whose job is in jeopardy? I really hope there is a gigantic class action suit at some time.
The heat is out in the building again while they try to fix a broken water pipe. There is a water remediation truck in the portico, so Iām assuming there was a flood somewhere from a broken pipe. I went out and bought a second Vornado space heater, as I donāt trust them to get this thing fixed in short order. Iām beginning to think we may want to look into other accommodations.
