This Life Of Mine

Today was such a gorgeous day, a bit hot and humid but not bad at all. These pictures are from this morning on my way to work at 6 am. It’s very peaceful. I just worry about the deer that are usually out that early in the morning.

Work was fine, it was steady for a long time but not bad. I still have a lot to learn but I feel like I’m getting more used to the work, of course it depends on the day.

There’s a receptionist position at one of the local banks that I wan to apply, I just need to update my resume. Hopefully I’ll do that tomorrow and hopefully it’ll still be up. I was tired when I got home after going to Walmart right after work and took a nap. Then I went walking. Instead of going through the town I went through the street that goes out of town. Now it’s late and I have to get ready to go to bed since I get up early.

Hmmm there seems to be an antique car underneath those plants, what a shame.

Beautiful day today!

Friday at work, it was crazy busy until about 6 pm then it slowed down. Yesterday, July 4th, it was pretty slow until about 9pm. We only got one person with fireworks burning while I was there so it was great! Could had been much worse.

Today I’m off. We went to Peoria. We were going to eat at a Vietnamese restaurant that we tried before but it was closed. We tried this other restaurant that is a hole in the wall and we hit the jackpot.

Later we went to HomeGoods which is on a outlet mall that is pretty much dying. When we were leaving we saw a furniture store and went in to see if we saw a dining room set that we liked. Nothing blew our minds and it was a bit overpriced. Although I understand that everything is much more expensive now. We’ll keep looking.

Thursday evening we went to the little movie theater in town. You can buy bags of popcorn and theirs is really good. It’ll take us a while to go through that bag.

Now, I’m just enjoying the quiet while my very obnoxious neighbor is I guess on vacation. Haven’t seen him and the kids in a while.

I had planned to decorate the porch for the 4th of July but they’re still painting, they painted most of it, they still have the floor, it’s ok, we’ll hang the big flag and I already have the little flags out in the yard, let’s see how many will survive the crazy drivers going around the corner.

I did lots of laundry today but what. I really need to do is move my extra clothes from the one closet so Michael and Wesley can put their clothes there.

It’s so hot here, I’m considering going to the pool tomorrow. It’s that hot 🥵 it’ll be nice when Michael and Weslee move here cause they like to go to the pool unlike David. I usually end up going by myself.

Got sidetracked. Started the new schedule this last Sunday and it was nice. Now I have 2 days off and back to work on Friday.

While in Indianapolis we visited the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, their museum is very nice and has so much history. While interesting, it’s not really my cup of tea. I mean, I’m glad we went, but I really don’t want to go to a race. Janice does. They can go without me.

House is almost done being painted. They may finish tomorrow or Thursday.

Off today. It was a long work week, not too bad at work but long nonetheless. It’s still so hard for me to go from Saturday to Sunday, leaving late Saturday and coming back Sunday morning at the crack of dawn. Supposedly we start our new schedule this coming Sunday so I’m supposed to be off that day. We’ll see.

This last Sunday, Father’s Day, it rained so very much. And I was exhausted when I came off work. Monday was much nicer.

Painters didn’t come yesterday, Monday, because it was too wet. I really hope they finish on Friday.

We have two plastic chairs outside on the grass under a tree. I had taken out a small foot stool also. I just realized that it’s not there anymore. I guess someone just decided to take it 😑
