Hi Robin
Just waiting on my counselor to buzz in here. So I thought I'd catch up with you. Yes the dreaded digging for the fry. Every time. Lol.
My glasses fog up also with the masks. I don't know how I'm gonna work in one all day. Just received a work email telling everyone that there should be "NO ONE IN THE BLDG W/O A MASK! They are still MANDATORY!" I'm fighting panic all day again. I emailed my mgr to see what the dates of my pandemic leave really are. I saw some confusing things about when and what I will be paid for regarding the leave and bereavement for mom.
Rocky and I are going to the vet today for a 1pm appt. They said to call from the car and they will come get us when the room is ready. He's not in pain or anything but he has a couple of lumps I want checked out. After all he's his parent's son and they both passed of Mast cell tumor cancer. Cooper's got me wondering today. He's his busy sassy self but didn't eat his canned food this morning and wouldn't take his treat when I put him in his kennel to get Rocky out....He is VERY gassy though!!!!!! So I don't know what's going on. Cold wet nose....clear eyes....full of energy. We have 4 dogs now...I mean I do. Still don't want to say that....singular.
Ok, I'm getting irritated. I'm sitting here waiting for the video chat session and -0-. So I sent her an text chat message. Hopefully she's just late.
Yes, yesterday was very weird, depressing, I felt out of place, like I didn't belong bc people were alot different. Felt that way in the hardware store too. It's probably just me because I have been isolated for so long now. My sister-in-law and her daughter-in-law go everywhere they want and don't mask up......
Yes I love curbside. I used it a couple times on the way home from work. I hate to shop except online anyway, so it's definitely a keeper idea for me. I just have to load and unload once when I get home then. That's tiring enough.
That's so nice you got to get out. I love it! Hope it was very enjoyable....
Yes, it was not a fun day at all. After I picked her up, we went through the car wash, had lunch in the car at Burger King, who was doing a SUPER job of distancing and not touching the bags any more than necessary. They were put in a container that she held out the window. Even my debit card I tossed into a container and she brought it out that way. Then I went to the Dollar Tree and got some fresh flowers for her. Then went to the cemetery and put the flowers in. Played How Great Thou Art and Old Rugged Cross for her as she had always told me she wanted it. Spent a little time there. They had it all marked out for whatever reasons with little flags and stuff marking the perimeter. After that I took her to the office. Had to go back to their site and place another little flag with her name and Cremation it. I got a call from James who was helping me with all this at 9:20am today that they had taken care of it and that Mom is now w/Dad.....He was very nice older guy. So that chapter of my book is now closed I guess.....whew. So Lonely.....
After I did that I picked up some pizzas to freeze from a place that makes them and you bake them. My fav comfort pizzas. Papa Murphy's. Then I went to Davids work and texted him that I was there in the parking lot and whenever he could come out....I waited 15-20 min. No response. I texted again that I had to leave soon for my curbside and I could bring them in if he wanted and leave them at the counter. Waited another 10 min no response. Finally, I took the pillow, necklace, and 4 canvas prints that I was gonna tell him to keep what he wants and give the rest to his step sister, into the store. Ashley Furniture. He's the mgr. He was busy with a customer, I totally get it. I gave the stuff to another sales guy and wrote David a note and walked past him when I left. When I got to the car he texted that he'd call me later on. I have heard -0-........ Absolutely nothing. I don't care how busy you are, I don't care that you have a bad sinus infect, there's a thing called respect..... Everyone's busy (apparently except me) I get it. But still. I went out of my way to give this stuff to your family as small memories of your dad and didn't even get a Thanks.
Well, it's almost 12:15pm, I need to get Rocky into the truck. He won't know what's going on so it may take me a min....
Ok I'm pissed off. Counselor said she saw my name there and then someone else's. That I'd have to r/s....."sorry about that".....UGH!
My mgr just answered too. Said pandemic leave 4/27-5/25. Now she's trying to get the "next steps"and will update me soon. If it ended 5/25 then I should have 3 days bereavment after that....
Ok I'll get Rocky to the vet now.
I'll fill you in when I get back how it went.....
Hugs
Kim
