The Old Folks Home

Love their tators and chili. Nice change from my usual pick of a burger and chicken sandwich off the dollar menu. They're hard to eat if you're driving though

That's one thing we never do is drive through..unless we're bringing it home.

Working 3:30pm to 3:30am for the next three weeks. I totally despise working nights... no vacation relief in our department. Trained a few they quit, couple fired, still training one on other jobs here but I don't think it'll pan out. Have a lot to do in the few hrs home awake time I get.

I'd love that shift.

I don't think I was a real looker at any age so that part doesn't really matter much to me...lol.

However going back to that point where I could get so much done...I would love it!! I still had pain, but no where like the pain I have now. I'd change everything I've done. I'd certainly not do the work I did. At 25 I had just started the hog barn. I'd quit right there and say NO to everything. I'd also go get a job that was easier on my body. I used to think working hard got you places and was what one was supposed to do. Not take the easy jobs and way out. What an idiot I was. I don't even think I'd farm. I'd move to the city where things are easier. I had wanted to become a vet. Pfft...I wish I'd had more interest in nails and polish back then and just became a nail tech. I'd be so much farther ahead in everything if I'd done that; money, body...probably mind...lol.

Hind sight is 20/20! I would have watched my weight more carefully. I did have an hour glass figure.

In some ways. Also more stressful being in congestion all the time. Dense population and asphalt aren't all you might imagine.

Now if I had a billion I'd be set !!!

I think I could manage with a LOT less than a billion dollars!

Morning all time to really mess up I thought at got to be 13 again that was before all the pain right

My family moved from rural to city. Hated it. It is not all that and a bag of chips. Neighbors can be a pain. Even after 20 years of city life I wasn't used to the noise, the smells or the people living right next to me. Like rural life better.

I did like working second shift tho. Always liked it when all the 'suits' stampeded to the door at 5pm and quiet ensued.

That's very true. I lived in the city during the week I showed sheep for many years when that city swelled by 100,000. Any city close to me is rather small.
It can also be very lonely for some as well. I'm a person that can roll with just about anything.

I went outside and fed the critters. Cleaned up the pallets that were spread around. Trying to get stuff put away for the winter. Off to plant bushes!
