Monday
My one and only day shift of the week. I’m in early to do morning prep prior to opening the restaurant. I and a single counter gal work the lunch crowd and then clean and prep the kitchen for the evening shift. We’ve been really slow since the first of the year and the boss has been cutting hours, trying to save a few bucks. Unfortunately, the slow nights also mean we’re closing earlier which means even smaller paychecks. Probably only 30 hours this week.
My Saturday day off was spent volunteering at the steam-powered sawmill down in Brooks, Oregon. It’s our first run since the end of last August and we had to work out a couple of kinks, but overall it was a good run.
Still knitting, but nothing yet other then a couple of Simple Sillys® (i.e. another knit wash cloth and a bias knit scarf for one of the young ladies at work). Still that’s better than I’ve done for the past couple of months and I’m actually packing along little projects when I leave the house. I keep looking at the little sweater, but I’m not yet ready to dig into it and figure out where I left off.

Glad you are back and better, Jerry! Have you ever seen a book called Mood Therapy? It helped me more than anything in dealing with depression, and its an easy read.
Cheers and Happy 2008,

That photo is positively frightening. I am great with a screwdriver but saws need respect and I am not a strong (muscle) human. I leave them to others. Even a look makes my stomach weak.
Good thing I am not a pioneer, huh??? I do cook from scratch pretty much 100% of the time… but do use a few canned ingredients. Because of allergies I’m limited to canned items with about 3 or fewer ingredients in the can so other than not having to can my own tomatoes or soy milk, we’re talking seriously from scratch. It tastes good, anyway. Lots of work I didn’t used to do, but significantly good meals here at chez ColorJoy.
Long time… LynnH
