Granny's gone and done it again

No dash of any kind here. Never read the book "50 Yards to the Outhouse" by Williemakeit.

Is that the one illustrated by Betty Dont?

 

[Granny Hatchet]

Its depressing Blue no doubt.

The summer of '65 we had $5 a week for food and baby formula. Lived on a couple of lbs of 29¢ a pound hamburger, Cream of mushroom soup, and a bag of rice. It was rough but we survived. I never want to see those kinds of days again. That is one reason I want a nice garden with hens that lay eggs for us and to hatch for fryers and roasters and replacement hens for the one that become stewing hens for dumplings. Covid type pandemics are hard especially when store shelves are empty. You can't buy whats not there even if you have a k a weed for food. We have a lot of canning jars and a lot of lids. See on hand. I just need my hips to hold up so I can walk behind the tiller and the strength to harvest what makes. I'm already seeing lots of bare places from week to week. One bare place gets stocked and another one is empty. We have enough land here to feed all of our family if they help out. They may get hungry if they are to good to get their hands dirty.

Oh dang for Red. That's rough. My thoughts go out to him and his fam.

So the house that hubs liked...apparently the buyers are trying to get out of it...cold feet or something I don't know. (yes, there's a few red flags with the house other than its age). So, it might just happen. We're doing the cleanup, going hardcore and our place will likely be listed early next week/late next week. Soon. (edit after I posted this, I noticed I had email from the realtors, just didnt notice it cause it went to my "everything" email address. I don;t get notifications for that one. We'll be listing on or before 11/15. My parents fly in on the 12th. flock my life)

Stress is real. I'm torn between nuts to this place with my job and trying to finish out the year and year end stuff/tax stuff. Or I'll figure out how to do it remote. I would be able to continue doing payroll and benefits admin remotely, just so long as someone can scan me in the time cards/time sheets. Benefit of that is I would still have a regular paycheck, and that would look good if I had to take out a home equity line of credit for the renovations, downside is I'd still be working for the same people. I think it would be a temp thing either way. Until they find someone else.

My parents are still set to come down to visit in a few weeks and I am STRESSED beyond words with that - especially with me mudder's allergies to darn near every cleaning product known to man...among other things.

Work...is work. My bosslady for all her griping lately about coverage and changing my hours so that I'm in the office full days.....well, on my week away on vacation, SHE decided to go on vacation. Leaving Other Admin all by her lonesome to not only do her job, but to do payroll too. She told other admin this on the friday, and said she'd ask her daughter to come in to help her out. Apparently came back in to the office on wednesday and teehee forgot to ask her daughter...so no wonder payroll was a bit of a freaking mess.

Alright. Going to try to dust/declutter a second bookshelf now...got my big one done yesterday while I had a migraine flirting with me...so go me.

I'm excited for you! Thank goodness you enjoy a challenge, 'cuz this sounds like it will be a Project!

Oh, I DO hope you get to do the job remote! Even though you's still be working for the same dingba- people, at least you would not be in the same OOM with them, in close physical proximity with, and that right there sounds like a load off one's mind and a lowering of stress levels!

erm ... can you put them up in a nearby motel?

Eyeroll combined with deep sigh. How, I ask you HOW do these people manage to run a business?

Alright. Going to try to dust/declutter a second bookshelf now...got my big one done yesterday while I had a migraine flirting with me...so go me.

You're awesome. You go!

for those of you that remember Red , His son passed away. I dont have any other info.

Oh no that is rough.

 

[prostar]

I might have to but it won't be pretty - they're down for TWO AND A HALF WEEKS oof, and her allergies...put it this way. She's found ONE detergent that doesn't aggravate her allergies. Blessedly it's arm and hammer sensitive skin stuff, so easily found and not too expensive but...I was debating putting them up in the motorhome but if we end up needing to live in it too...

Is Tom feeling better? How was your day with Nancy?

Is Tom feeling better? How was your day with Nancy?

Tom said he feels weak and shaky. Nancy was good. It went too fast.

Tom said he feels weak and shaky. Nancy was good. It went too fast.

He doesn’t feel better at all. Weak and shaky isn’t good.
