Catching up again
This time I’ll blame work… We’ve lost two employees in the past 1 1/2 months. The one making the biggest impact (on me) was one of the kitchen closers who also closed out the cash register and made night deposits. We’re currently down to three people that have the right training and one is going back to college at the end of September and the other one has a year old baby and can’t close much anymore. Sigh.. 41 *scheduled* hours next week. And I seldom work less than scheduled hours…
Visited my Dad on Thursday and had the best visit since before Mom died. While he still spends a lot of time thinking about Mom and being lonely, he isn’t as depressed as he was, he’s eating better and sleeping better. I even managed to get a smile out of him during lunch.
Eileen and the boyfriend are off for the week in eastern Oregon leaving me with the house and the animals. Believe me, the cats are not happy about getting fed at 11pm when their usual mealtime is closer to 5pm. Actually enjoying the quiet and having the house to myself. They’ll be back on either Thursday or Friday of the coming week.
Anybody play around with Google Books? Since I’ve gotten the laptop and semi-regularly drag it into Portland for a little fix of Broadband, I’ve discover all kinds of interesting old books available for download. Books on Knitting, books on brewing beer and baking bread. Some big files but it’s fun to see what’s available.

So good to see you posting again. My heart goes out to your dad. Losing a spouse is so difficult. And it doesn’t matter how old one is. Take care of yourself.

Losing employees seems to be the opposite of what I usually hear lately. I guess the situation is not typical. Found your blog through a search for someone else’s blog and recognized it as one I found a year ago and thought was very cool. Really glad that you’re still here.

Hang in there… I says, as Ike passes rather quietly to the east of me.
Hugs.

Hey Friend,
When are you going to start posting again? It’s Halloween now and no one has heard from you since August. Hope you are well.
