At Home:
Well, I hope 5 is a lucky number. ... Friday, I'll be having yet another surgery on my wonderful new thumb. This will be the fifth one to date. It seems that the bone wanted to see what was going on in the outside world ,so, it has poked itself through the skin to have a little look-see. The doc will have to grind a part off and do a bit of cleaning but it shouldn't be too bad. .... GRRRRRR!(1)
They say I shouldn't miss too much,if any, work this time. :)
At work, now, the new bosses have decided to change our work hours. ...As of next week, day shift will be from 5:00 am-1:00pm,2nd will be 1:00pm-9:00pm and 3rd- 9:00pm-5:00am. They say this will save us money because electricity cost go from 8 cents a kilowatt hour to 13 cents a kilowatt hour in the mid-day. .... Here's the thing. .... We work 3 shifts!. .... if we work around the clock, how can this plan save money? Idiots! I do good to make it to work at 7:00am now,I'll have to get up before 4:00am to be there at 5:00. ...... if I get out of bed before 4:00, it's usually just to pee. :) . ...GRRRRRR!(2)
Okay. ... that's enough GRRRRing for now but if I think of anything to complain about, I'll let you know. :)
Thanks Sunshine!, for the nice e-card. ... I Love you too!
I went to the lake and took care of all the yard work last weekend,so hopefully, we will go up this weekend and just enjoy our time there. Ya'll are all invited! ;)
My oldest brother,Edward, and his wife will be arriving for a visit this Saturday. I'm not sure how long they'll stay but it'll be great to see them again.
Bobbie is doing well. She is still a bit upset over Nicki passing away but is starting to feel better now, I think.
