March 17

Welp, here we go, lol. This past week has been Spring Break, plus one of the huge music festival thingies that always brings a shit-ton of people to town. So it has been busier than shit here at work and the traffic has sucked fucking ass. But it's Thursday night, so yay. I'm working Saturday night though, which kinda sucks. I ended up staying an hour and a half late this morning and I'm pretty sure I'll do the same thing again tomorrow morning. We're super short-handed again because my boss quit. Le sigh. They have a new lady to replace him but she's not supposed to start until next Friday. She came in one day this week to train though so I did get to meet her. I think she's going to be alright. She's an older lady, kinda reminds me of a teacher or something, lol. So hopefully she'll stick around for a while...

So let's see. Today is St. Patrick's Day. Woohoo, lol. Yesterday though was our anniversary :-) TH and I have been married 17 years now! We both had to work so we didn't really do anything but I made him a cute little gift basket with some snacks and lotto tickets and stuff. He liked it :-) He snuck off to target while I was asleep and bought ponies for me! They're soooooo freaking cute!!!!! And then tomorrow night I'm going to cook him a special dinner. He loves chicken fried steak but I've never actually made it. So I'm a little nervous :-/ But I'm going to do chicken fried steak, macaroni, roasted brussels sprouts, cornbread (or something), and these little lava cakes. So it should be interesting, lol.

March 3

Okey freaking dokeys. It is Thursday night, and I am fucking off work this weekend! Finally, lol. So I survived the 12 days straight and honestly, it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. I'm a little tired but not too bad. I actually ended up staying up til almost noon most days so I was able to hang out with everyone and get a little stuff done around the house. But yeah I am definitely looking forward to not going to work for 2 days!!

So they hired a new guy for 4 of our 6 open shifts, and one of the flex officers is going to be available to work the other 2. At least for this weekend, lol. The new guy actually showed up for training this morning so that's a good sign. Either way though, if something happens and they need something covered this weekend I've already told them that they're on their own. Let someone else have a turn, lol. But then I found out tonight that my boss (who has only been in charge for...maybe 6 months?) is leaving in 2 weeks. So I don't know who they're going to try to promote to site supervisor. I don't want it because I don't want the responsibility and I don't want to work days. The other guy here doesn't want it because he doesn't want to work days either. It would be a $2/hour raise, which would be nice, but there are just too many people to deal with during the day. I like my nice quiet night shifts :-)

February 27

Well, poop. So, I was off all of last weekend. Yay! However, our super annoying guy quit last Sunday so this week there were 48 hours of overtime to go around. I volunteered for the Friday and Saturday night shifts so as of right now I'm on day 7 of (at least) 12. Not sure what's happening next week but if we don't have anyone new hired I may end up splitting the weekend nights with one of the other guys so I get at least one day off. Kinda sucks while it's going on but the paychecks will be nice, lol. So basically this last week has been work, sleep, and hang out with TH and TK when I can. Super freaking exciting, lol.

So TH and I had been thinking about redoing the pantry. It's basically just a small, deep closet so everything gets shoved in there and there's no organization at all. So, we bought a couple of sets of these. We got them installed today but didn't get it reloaded so right now there's still shit stacked all over the counters, lol. The pantry had 4 shelves on the bottom and 2 on the top. We got 2 sets of the double racks for the bottom and a single rack to go on the bottom shelf of the top (does that even make sense?) then left the very top shelf as is. The top is where we store all of the tall canisters of like flour and shit so I really didn't think we needed one up there. We're also going to get them to go in all of the bottom cabinets too. All of the bottom cabinets have the regular bottom shelf but then only a narrow top shelf at the very back so there's lots of wasted space. The sizes that we need aren't carried in store though so we had to order them. I think they're supposed to be here next weekend, maybe? So that'll be awesome :-)

February 18

Thursday night! Yay, lol. So I don't know who is working this Friday night but since nobody has asked me to do it yet, I don't care. So yay for a normal weekend :-) So let's see. Not really much going on again. Last weekend was Valentine's Day so I bought some chocolate and little stuffed animals for TH and TK. They bought me a fuzzy Hello Kitty blanket :-) We bought a big pork shoulder roast and ground it up to make burgers and sausage. So that was fun :-) My buddy here at work has been on vacation all week and he comes back Saturday night. He might come over tomorrow night and hang out, which would be cool. So, yeah. Super duper exciting, lol.

Noms for the days: Yep! And I don't have an official starting weight, but I know I've lost at least 5 lbs because I remember seeing a higher number at one point than the scale shows now :-)

Song: Mark Ronson, Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk. Cause why not?

Best thing: Thursday night!!!

Worst thing: Kinda tired but not bad.

Yay.

February 9

Lol yep, still here. Still nothing much going on. I took off work this past Sunday (2-7) for the Super Bowl, so that was cool. TH, TK, and I made a bunch of little appetizers and watched the game. Denver beat Carolina, yay! TK and I went to spend the day with my mom one Friday, but we didn't spend the night so it wasn't too bad. She's still doing alright. So other than that it's pretty much been work, sleep, and hang out with TH and TK. We did rearrange the kitchen a few days ago, moving the microwave out onto a little stand in the dining room. That pretty much doubled our counter space. So that was awesome :-) The kitchen looks so nice and roomy now! I'll have to get some pics.

So, yeah. That's pretty much it. This week I'm working Friday night (boo) because they didn't have anyone else to cover it. But then I'll be off again Sunday in exchange, so I still only work 5 days this week. Yay, lol.

Noms for the days: YEP!!! Some better than others but at least I'm tracking again?

Song: Disturbed - The Sound Of Silence. So apparently their new album has a Simon & Garfunkel cover. I likes!!

Best thing: Yay for Super Bowl "party"!!

Worst thing: Headache, kinda.

Yippee.

January 26

Yawn. So, not really too much going on lately. Just sleep, work, hanging out with TH and TK, and trying to get over this cold or whatever the hell it is. I feel a lot better than I did but it just won't quite go away. I'm wondering if part of it might be allergies because cedar is supposed to be really bad right now. It's never really bothered me before though so who knows. TH seems to be mostly over it but TK still has some congestion and a cough. He's started taking the OTC allergy pill that TH takes to see if that helps any. So, yeah. It's all been super duper exciting, lol.

Let's see. 2 weekends ago we had the last round of NFL wildcard games, then this past Sunday we had the 2 championship games. Nothing next Sunday (well, there is the Pro Bowl, but that's only showing on ESPN so we can't watch it. Boo), then the Sunday after that (February 7) is the Super Bowl! And I requested the night off so we can just hang out all day and watch the game and stuff :-) It's going to be the Broncos and the Panthers so hopefully it'll be a good game. Then, no more football until September. Sigh :-( I dunno what the hell we're gonna do on Sundays now...

January 12

Holy crap I still feel like shit. Sigh. And now TK has had whatever this shit is for the last couple of days. And and and, now TH is starting to come down with it. I'm gonna be so glad when it's finally gone. We don't get sick much but it seems like when we do, it sticks around for a while. Double sigh...

So let's see. Last Friday TK and I went to HEB early then just went home and kinda hung out for a while. Seems like we actually took a nap before TH got home, lol. We thought about having my buddy from work come over to hang out but nobody really felt like it. So TH got home and we watched a movie then went on to bed.
