Some chit chat.

I managed to actually finish a few books this week. And I’m totally hooked on binging Gray’s Anatomy. I swear that every other episode has me in tears. Sheesh, I’m such a softy. LOL I plan to squeeze in a couple of movies this coming week. I really want to watch Freaks. And then I plan on winging it by pulling an old favorite out of my DVD collection.

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

Some chit chat.

I know I’ve been sharing a lot about how tired I’ve been. Like a broken record. LOL Thought it was time I told you a bit about my jobs. I worked as an auto detailer for 17 years. Basically, I transform the inside of nasty autos into something as close to new as possible. It’s dirty, nasty and hard work. Often entailing taking out everything, including the carpet to get it cleaned thoroughly. When I finally decided I was too tired and old for the job, I got a new one and gave my notice. I worked out my two weeks while also training for the new one. Then my boss begged me to continue working for them on a part time basis and I agreed. About my new job. I’m getting closer to retirement and wanted something close to home, inside and fun. I chose Walmart. I like retail work and interacting with people and having less responsibility. Thought it would be an easy job as a Self Checkout Host. Let me tell you, it’s hard work. You are on your feet for 8 hours a shift, have to keep your work area clean, which means every few minutes it’s dirty again, LOL, and help customers when something isn’t working right. And there’s lots of problem solving trying to figure out why something won’t ring up, why the machines refuse to accept items or payments, and having to figure it out yourself when it’s super busy and management can’t get there in a timely manner. I’m usually running from customer to customer to help them and it’s a large area. I come home with aching feet, knees, hips and back most times. I did finally find a pair of shoes that really works and I bought every pair they had in my size! I’ve met some really great folks and made some new friends, something I’d really been wanting to do. And I now have a best friend! She’s awesome and we are so much alike. We text and talk on the phone when not working together. I always said if I quit my old job, I wanted to work at Walmart. It’s only 5 minutes from my house and since I shopped there all the time, I already new many of the employees. It’s fun and I love it. It will be my last job before I retire and I’m lucky I got it.

One quick note. I am finally ready to quit my old job for good. It’s a hard decision as it’s a family owned business and we are all really tight. But, it’s time. I don’t need the money and they have things in place for when I’m not there anymore.

And about Covid-19. While at work last night, they announced school closings in our area. It had been insanely nuts at work and I braced myself for more madness. Sure enough, people came in droves, often coming to my area with 4 or 5 buggies packed with stuff. Toilet paper and paper towels sell out faster than we can put them out and the same with water and nonperishables. I finally got off of work at 11 last night and walked the grocery aisles to see what it looked like. Barren shelves everywhere! It felt like a scene from The Walking Dead! I’m not panicked about the virus, but I’m worried about being able to get the things I need for normal day to day living as people are buying everything in bulk, leaving nothing but empty shelves. I was lucky with one thing. I’d just updated my hurricane preparedness stuff and have plenty of supplies. I just don’t want to have to dip into them and not have them later. Is it the same where you live? Are people panicking?

One more update. We now have some confirmed cases in our county. Our store is now closing earlier and we are being offered to work as much overtime as we want. I guess it’s in case they have to close for a couple of weeks. We will also get paid if they close. I hope it doesn’t come to that.

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

I keep wishing I had something fun to share with y’all. It’s still all work, work, work. Sigh. But, I do have three days off this coming week and I plan to work on the pool and yard, get my hair cut, and do some serious reading and watching my shows. I’m sue I’ll squeeze in a few short naps somewhere. LOL

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

Spring is in the air! I’m sitting here with the windows open, enjoying a warm breeze and the fresh air. Everything is blooming and growing. So much green! Especially my lawn, which needs to be mowed. LOL I have plans to get outside Monday and do some much needed clean up. Lots of dead stuff and weeds to remove. I know it needs to be done as I really let it go last year. What I really want to do is sit out there and read a good book. Maybe I’ll find time for both!

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

All work and no play makes for a very tired Laura. LOL It’s been one of those weeks. I worked longer hours at both jobs and we were short on help. I didn’t even manage to finish reading one book! Couldn’t stay awake. But I have some good news. After this week I will be only working 5 days a week between both jobs. At least for the next two weeks. That will give me some time to clean, read and nap. And hopefully get some reviews written.

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

Some chit chat.

It’s Mardi Gras time here and it brings back so many fun memories of when I’d go to the parades and come home laden with beads and stuff. Of preparing for a ball, donning my sequined gown and tripping the light fantastic all night long. Now I prefer to stay at home and watch the parades on television. A lot of people think that Mardi Gras originated in New Orleans, when in fact it started in Mobile, Alabama. Let the good times roll!

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

My new books. Only one this week but it sure looks and sounds scary good!

Synopsis

WHO WILL LIVE WHEN CONQUEST BURNS?

Tensions are running high in the small mountain town of Conquest, Idaho. Newly elected Sheriff Heather Hill is on one side, toxic and corrupt Mayor JH Bieter on the other, a standoff in a culture war. With a wildfire approaching, battle lines begin to form. As the cold war heats up, Heather and JH are at each other’s throats.

But they have more to worry about than the fire.

The Pack has arrived in Conquest.

A ravenous gang of bestial shapeshifters, they are hungry and eager to show their dominance. Conquest makes a perfect target. Now Heather, JH, and the people of Conquest must fight for survival as blood and ash fill the streets

Some chit chat.

Last week was the first time since I can’t remember when that I missed a Sunday Post. I’ve been so ill and didn’t feel like repeating the same thing over and over again. I’m finally on the mend and getting back to visiting posts and replying to comments.

I watched some new shows and movies. Horse Girl was a strange one. I never did really get it. And I enjoyed Locke & Key. Can’t wait to see what happens next season. And I’ve read a lot of books while I was sick. Now to write all of those reviews! LOL

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

I tried to be good. Do everything I could, but….. I got sick. Everyone at work had some kind of cold or flu, I pumped my body up as best I could, but it got me. Fever, body aches and it feels like I’m swallowing razor blades. I’m sorry I wasn’t around much. Tried to sleep as much as possible to let my body recuperate. Hopefully, I kick this soon and I’ll be back to visiting everyone!

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

The weather has been crazy here. Some rain, loads of humidity and very warm. I have my fingers and toes crossed that the mild temps will continue. All of my plants are blooming and the shrubs have new shoots. If it gets too cold, I fear they won’t do that well this spring.

I finished sharing all of the Cozy Corgi books and had so much fun with them. I’m now reading books in the horror and urban fantasy genres and so far they are good. I have Friday off from both jobs and plan to browse for some new reads. I need to check my wish lists and see what’s there. I’m sure I’ve got a bunch.

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

It;s funny how quickly life returns to normal once the holidays are over. I’ve been working so much that time passed in a blur.

I did manage to squeeze in some reading and watched a bit of television. I’m reading a bunch more books in the Cozy Corgi Mystery series and will be sharing my reviews this coming week. I also took in a couple of review requests and excited for those too. Of course, they are in the horror genre. LOL

I’m typing this on Saturday morning and we have a big storm coming in later so I’m headed outside to batten down the hatches. It’s muggy, hot and windy. Hard to believe this is winter.

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.
