It's been a busy week here at work - sort of. Boss is gone today to Tucson to have a meeting there, but will be back tomorrow in the office. One of these times I get to go with her - just haven't worked it out yet. I probably could have gone today cause she didn't leave until this morning - but usually she rents a car and goes down the night before. Oh well - didn't think about it. Besides, I have plenty of work to get done.
I've done fairly well on watching what I eat. I say 'fairly well', for I know I have 'cheated' on occasion.... but I do want you to know that it is one of the coworkers birthday.... and another coworker brought in a homemade cheesecake. She makes them sooooo good. And I turned it down. Yep. Cheesecake isn't my favorite, but she really, really does make an awesome cheesecake and I've had it before..... but I said no this time. Sigh.
Got "approved" for covered parking - across the street. We got kicked out the covered parking we were told we could park..... seems another company bought it and didn't want to share with the three of us who parked there. So Corporate managed to get 90 spaces - 75 covered and the remaining uncovered - across the street. I'm not sure exactly where it is located, but should find out soon. The notice came out today that we will be assigned badges and they will be coming out soon. Plus, the executive management (which includes my boss) who park in the covered parking in our garage here, are now allowed to have a 'back-up' parking badge for those days they are out of the office - they can share their spot. And of course my boss said that I get the spot when she isn't here. In fact, I could go out and move my car into her spot cause she is out today, but it's too much effort. I'm going home in a few hours anyway. But in another week she will be gone a whole week - but I am also taking three days off that same week - so will get to park there two days.
Yeah, I've got three days scheduled off this month - and I'm hoping they will be productive. My Aunt Sue needs to have a yard sale and get rid of Aunt Mae's clothes and things. She is just overwhelmed with what to do - so I'm taking off work to help her sort through things and help with the sale. I went last Saturday and spent the day with her and went through things and helped clean. I was to get Aunt Mae's wedding ring.... but all her rings are no where to be found..... well, one that is costume jewelry is in the drawer - but all her good rings are gone. Aunt Sue seems to think the caregivers helped themselves. I hope not. I want that wedding ring.... maybe we will come across it as we go through Aunt Mae's things. I'm going over again this Saturday to balance checkbook and help get started on things for the yard sale - which will be in two more weekends. I told Aunt Sue let's just put out what we can to get some room - then we can have another one later in the summer to let go of other things.
Aunt Sue is so sweet. When I left last Saturday, she hugged me and said, "Don't you let anyone tell you that you are not my niece!" I've been her niece for 30+ years - well, adopted, but still... she claims me! She does have one 'real' niece who lives in town.... but I kind of get the impression that with Aunt Sue's stubbornness - they don't get along real well. Works for me- Aunt Sue loves me cause I let HER make the decisions - but I give her the options to choose from so it makes her still be in control. I've been calling periodically to make sure she is drinking her water and taking care of herself. Last Friday she ended up in the hospital dehydrated. So now I tell her she has to drink a bottle of water in the morning, and another one in the afternoon. She tells me she's doing it. She is so much fun to be around.
Well, this is just babble and I need to get busy with things. I'm so fortunate I have had someone like Aunt Sue and Aunt Mae in my life. Actually, all four of the sisters have been a blessing to me - but now we are just down to Aunt Sue. They are amazing. Aunt Mae's last trip to Barbados to help on a work camp - she was 96 years old. I want to be that active when I get that old. I don't care so much about traveling everywhere, but hope to be doing things.
God has been good to me and has given me blessings of people to walk this journey of life with. I'm glad 'the sisters' have been a part of mine.
Blessings!
