Hello Peeps,
When I made the choice to take on two jobs, I vaguely knew the possibility existed that I could have a long stretch between days off. This week I lived that reality with an eight day stretch between days off. Friday was the eighth day and by the time I left work at midnight I was one tired girl. The new job is going well and I find some respite in having a few days a week that are set daytime hours. I am also enjoying coming home for lunch and getting to see Jak.
Today I've been cleaning like a madwoman before I go in to work a closing shift tonight. The apartment complex is in the middle of annual building inspections and since I now live here and work here, I felt the need to be a bit more thorough in my cleaning. Believe me though, I am still a far cry from being Susan Spotless. Some people are cleaners by nature. I am a cleaner by necessity.
The weather has been HOT here and if I'm at the point of being miserable about it you can be sure that it's relentless right now. Yesterday I think it was about 250 degrees with 300% humidity. (That might be a slight exaggeration.) Now, this doesn't mean that I am unhappy here it just means I'm ready for the weather to cool down a bit. Last evening while standing around chatting with my friends that work at the dog beach I could just feel the sweat rolling down my back. Gross. Although as my father would say, you'll get used to it and to some degree I suppose I have. Usually Jak will walk in the water a little bit and then get right out to peruse the sand for interesting smells. Last night he walked the whole way in the water. One time he almost went out deep enough to swim. The good news about all of this is that I've come to the conclusion that mid to late August will be a good time to visit Massachusetts next year.
At some point I hope to get back to writing insightful blog entries again. Sometimes I have one half written in my head while I'm at one of my jobs and by the time I could sit down and write, it is gone. I haven't forgotten about it or my followers. It's just a matter of finding the time and inspiration to write.
I hope that everyone is doing well. Thanks for the continued support!
Until next time...
Peace & Love,
Hopeful

Be One!
Greetings One and All,
This week I started my new part time job working in the office of the apartment complex where I live. Since it is a new position my exact responsibilities are yet to be defined so this week was mostly just rolling with it. By the end of my first three days I had a desk and a computer but no phone. Since this was the first full week of the month, the property manager was busy with collections and delinquencies while I did busy work like walking the property delivering notices on people's doors. I like that I will be able to get outside some and was even given permission to where my flip flops when I have to go mobile. Heels are fine for the office but not for walking the back forty.
On Monday I woke up with the worst stiff neck. I've been nursing some sort of upper arm injury on my left side for the past few weeks and I think it crept over my shoulder and into my neck. It took me ten minutes to get out of bed on Monday because it hurt so much. Since then there's been a lot of ibuprofen ingested and a heating pad purchased. Each day it's gotten a little better though it's still pretty tender to say the least. Mostly I've been trying to figure out how I got old enough to wake up with temporarily debilitating aches and pains.
A recall noticed arrived in my mail this week for the floor mats in my car. When I went out to verify the serial number on my mats, I lifted up the passenger's side one to find that the rug underneath was wet. I consider this a fortuitous discovery and am now trying to dry it out and figure out where the water came from. There was a bottle of water there so I'm hoping that maybe that leaked. Fingers crossed!
Some friends from work loaned me the 4th season of Downton Abbey so I'm off to watch another episode of that. And even though I watched it when it originally aired, I just can't get enough of it! I will leave you with a quote I just came across. Hope everyone is doing well!
