Good morning, O-zies!!
Guess who got the job????
I know, in all honesty, I'm not surprised. I think it would have been weird to have me, Scott's Mom, come in, interview with his former boss and one of his besties, and then say, Naaaaah.
I am excited to get started. The center is expanding its programs for younger kids. Right now, the majority of them are for elementary-aged kids and they are looking to add preschool programs, which is where I come in. Can you imagine, me getting paid to talk to little kids about gardens, animals, and dirt?? Lauren took me on a short tour of the property and some of the garden areas and outdoor classrooms and I was already coming up with ideas of things I'd want to do. They also need people to maintain the grounds, weeding, and such, and they laughed when I said that I used to pass my library's garden area and wanted to weed it.
Scott called afterward and we were laughing at how Lauren is going to be my boss
@vickyday I am delighted that you ate two meals in one day but sheesh, it also makes me sad. I know how rough it is for Gary and I hate that you deal with that too.
Oh no! Talk about wires crossed! Aren't you glad that you checked with Ilene's DD about shopping?
@bcgal00 I know it will be a chaotic few weeks for you, but I can't tell you how happy and relieved I am that you are moving. You made such a nice place for yourself in Kamloops but if your family can't get the medical care it needs, you have to go wherever you can. Please take care of yourself, you don't want to make yourself so sick you can't breathe by the time make the move.
Thanks for the good thoughts about the job--I applied in October and it finally came through yesterday.
@taxed4ever How are you feeling today, not as achy as yesterday. I think I am going to need to rake this afternoon at least for a little while. The Japanese maple had all its leaves on Friday and they are 95% down this morning. All of the raking I did in October-- for nothin' LOL
Hope you slept better too!
@Cherylndesigns Here I am, all excited that it will be 50* today and "warm" enough to rake. I am going to have to get used to being outside in the cold for my new job (That still sounds so exciting! Sorry ) Feel free to send the 65-70* weather here.
Can you share the link to the lamp, please? The one I have in my BR stinks. Maybe that one could work.
Keep us posted and tell Chuck I said hi.
Yay for sleeping well too!!
@BrightEyes I hope that you were able to get all of the things that you need for the holiday next week and your sister's visit. She is coming this weekend? You must be so excited. ♥
I hear ya about too much going on to do the ex-Red Hat lunch. My friend canceled me cleaning next week and all I felt was relief. I was going to figure out how to squeeze her in and now that frees up an entire morning.
I am so glad that I am doing this month's AJ challenge. It took me a while to think about how I wanted to approach it and I love the way it is coming along now that it's started.
Do you have fingerless gloves? Scott got me a pair "for arthritis" a couple of years ago and they help a lot. They are marketed for arthritis pain and have a little compression to them. Cheryl has something similar too IIRC.
Yikes, I better get going. I need to pick up groceries, then Rxs, then cleaning for my friend. Then raking?
Love to everyone!

So happy for you! 
Welcome back... you have been missed. I saw your son's photo on FB. He looks so grown-up!! Glad that Syd made it back for a visit and that lifted your spirits some. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers as you deal with the up-coming medical issues.
. Yesterday was another I didn't get anything accomplished day 
seems I can't focus on anything for too long darn it! Oh well I will keep trying as I really need to get a few more calendar pages done before the end of the month and also get some Christmas Cards started. I tried to get my junk journal filmed for a flip through, but OMG it is like 10 minutes long 
. I will have to do a bunch of editing before I show it to you all, I don't want to bore you to death with it! Anyway I have gotten all my morning chores done and just need to pack my backpack, I think some hot coffee will be a good idea to add to the bag. 
. I know you will love it and the kids will love you too!! I am not so stiff today and I am sure the hike will work out all the kinks I am still feeling. Yes our Japanese Maple was the same, one day it is full and gorgeous the next day 95% of the leaves have fallen, sure makes for a pretty colored ground cover though!!
