Work shenanigans over the weekend; the hubby had the dustinator flipped onto his back and my work-bestie/adopted son came up with the biscuit song and it’s now up in the office.
My GM said he was taking me to Walmart and leaving me there; HE STARTED IT! (He actually didn’t leave me there lol) 😂

Limited characters didn’t let me put why I say it’s my “Saturday” when it’s Monday. My work week is Wednesday-Sunday, so “Monday” is actually Wednesday. Except the actual upcoming Saturday will be Saturday because I requested the day off for me and the hubby for a pre-birthday outing 😀

My “Saturday” consists of a meowing kitty waiting for his bestie to come back to play, crocheting & watching Tombstone Territory with the front door open. It’s a super nice day out. Relaxing for now then care package for two sick college kiddos, a car wash, and dinner.

This is what’s all in the package; I grabbed two. They had some food related ones too, but I wanted these first.

Thankies! I found those little charms while I was on a trip for items needed at work and I thought they were cute! Trying to find beads/charms like that to crochet in so items are more kiddo friendly. Because what kid wouldn’t get excited about a colorful little bag like this?

Tried a new pattern for my random acts of crochet kindness and fell in love with this one! Cute little bag (penny purse)

Imagine waking up to see the hubby laying like this, your intention is to let him sleep in because you love pampering him, and you have to exit the bedroom so you don’t wake him up with your giggles. How did he even get like that? That’s MY pillow! 😂
Even in his sleep he makes me laugh! Love it!

Of course, Mr. Shadow would gobble up his snack and lay down, then I get a tongue sticking out of mouth pic from him lol! He and Elisha are total opposites; Shadow eats anything/everything, Elisha is super picky. It’s like having toddlers all over again! Love it!

Elisha (indoor kitty) KNOWS when his bestie, Shadow, is here. The doors & windows can be closed & he knows. I wake up to him all excited. Look out, bestie is here! Promised him playtime on our days off. Open the door, give Shadow his treats, & they’re playing. He’s such a sweet kitty 🩵 (both are)

It’s come to the point that I literally see none of my friends posts unless it’s a week old. I’ve been so disengaged from it I forget about it. Cj and I were talking about deleting our FB & IG for similar reasons as you, plus it’s just not fun anymore.

We were at 68° and rainy. I’ll trade you some degrees! (Why do we always want to trade a little bit of each others weather? LOL)

Oh! Guess what happens this weekend! 😃

The fact that my GM gave me a $2 raise after the management raise & scheduling my hours on Wed & Thurs to keep me away from the one person who triggers my PTSD, as well as save labor hours: very much appreciated! Now if higher mgt will stop degrading him and making his life hell, that’d be great.

TYLENOL? 👀
If that’s the case every human walking should have been Dx’d with autism 🙄

If the bottom 30% can’t afford a full grocery cart, the economy is failing.

Tax the rich. Raise the minimum wage. Break up price-gouging corporations.

Until then, stop calling this “a strong economy.”
