The rain didn't melt all the snow up on Willard, which I was kind of happy to see since their ski season starts next week. It's chilly out but not too cold. It has been damp. I walked the dogs in a slightly fierce drizzle last evening. I was able to come home from work at 4, which was great since M got home at about the same time I did, and we did some cooking. We made the pumpkin dessert and then I made rice and beans. I need to cook cranberries when I finish this. The animals are all slightly disrupted with having M home -- the routine has shifted. Nick has been especially bad, acting out and tearing into stuff, and Bella got an upset stomach overnight. Oh anyway, all this drama, I get so sick of it all sometimes. It is great having M home, she has already changed and matured so much, in ways that show me her college experience is very good for her. She is in the right place, and she knows it, especially as she catches up with friends from high school who are actively dissatisfied with their situations. I think she is realizing how fortunate she is. She has clear and definite plans and seems to have a clearer vision of the way ahead.
I am looking forward to eating the pumpkin dessert. It needed to set and cool so I couldn't have any last night. M's allergies have come slamming back being here, and she is suddenly quite congested but had the good sense to get a good decongestant antihistamine and is using her inhalers. All I really mean to say is she has lost her sense of taste but hopes to get it back as her antihistamine kicks in.
I have my period for the second time this month which is really unnecessary and annoying.
It sure is nice to have the prospect of 4 days off ahead of me.
There have been lots of geese in the area the past couple of weeks, flying high mostly, but lots of them, in the midst of their migrations.
I didn't sleep as well as I would have liked last night since I had to get up and investigate a loud crash in the kitchen -- Nick, no doubt, and then Topaz got restless and I let him out, and then later Inca. I was hoping to sleep in until 7 but that didn't happen.
Work was busy for a bit, but once J got all the orders packed she planned to ship, she left and told me I could too. I had mentioned earlier that I had hoped to leave early but then I saw what an extensive list of candles I had to do. The phones weren't too busy and L wandered around a lot. Near the end of the day he got a call he didn't want to deal with and J said Just take the call, Louis and he said I'm tired, and I snapped, We are ALL tired, and handed him the phone. Fun to double-team him like that. Our little contests of wills at work make for good sport sometimes. Silly. But my mind seeks entertainment whenever it can, it isn't as if the production work is mentally stimulating. J told me a long story about a Japanese man living in an airport in Mexico and suggested that was how I could live in Jamaica -- live in the airport there, and then she and I sketched out the necessities and details of doing just that, and came up with a plan that sounds somewhat credible to me. It gave me hope -- maybe I can live in Jamaica someday. And with enough sun, and dirt, and my grey hair let go into dreads, I might even blend in.
