Surprise

• Work has not picked up, it slowed down even more. Kids are back in "school" so parent's are not bringing the kids to the mall. Tuesdays at the mall are the worst because even when it isn't a nightmare it's the slowest day of the week normally.
• I got a call yesterday that i didn't answer because i was working and i normally don't answer calls that i don't know who is calling. yesterday i didn't get a voicemail. This morning i got a voicemail marked that it was from yesterday (my phone LIES). I applied for a job to drive for O'Reilly's auto parts. At first i got an email saying that they filled the position and they didn't need me at all. It surprised me when i got the voicemail this morning. I called back and they said they were in deseprite need of people to work for the store near the mall. He set the interview up for tomorrow at 9am.  We'll just have to see how it is going to go tomorrow.
  

Kommandant's Birthday and work

•  Kommandant's birthday was yesterday, he got a couple of gifts that he really enjoyed. I really wanted to get him a new phone, but he didn't want to get one (in the past he has said that he wanted to upgrade because he has an older phone and wouldn't mind getting the newer one). Since he didn't want a new phone i then thought he would enjoy a new iPad. we were looking at Target, Walmart, Best Buy, Fred Meyers (Apple is currently closed and we don't know when it is coming back) everywhere is out of the one he wants. Fred Meyers had 2 but Kommandant didn't want one of those because he wanted the one with bigger memory for the same price as the one we found. So we are going to wait till closer to Christmas (Black Friday) to see sales of the iPads (Maybe both of us upgrading the iPads)
  

•  We did gaming and cake at the store after work. He had a good time, a bunch of his friends showed up. Kommandant didn't come back home till 1 in the morning.
  

• Work has been painfully slow. Customers are not coming into the store and when they do they don't buy anything. they just want to look around (because their person is in another store and they don't want to be with them) and touch board games. Customer also come into the store and ask if we have any specials going on (i get that people don't have a lot of money because just like them i am not working a lot and don't have money to just spend on anything i want).
  

The Weekend Away & Monday

-We spent the weekend camping at Nat Soo Pah camp ground and hot spring. Getting there was a little bit of a challenge. We decided to bring Pink Bird with us, with that we had to arrange the car for 3 people and not the normal 2 plus 2 dogs. Poor Kommandant he had to sit in the back on a bunch of stuff and he had the dogs with him (they didn't want to be in the front with Pink Bird and me).

-It was nice being there with the family, only 2 sisters came out of 6 siblings. Kommandant's Mom and older sister stayed in a hotel in Jackpot so they were only there for the days and when night was close they would leave for the hotel.

-Kommandant's Mom is done with tent camping, she just cant handle the air mattresses and having to get up and down all night. So she is giving us first dibs on her camping items. There are a couple of items that i really want from her (she would always bring them so we didn't have to purchase them).

-Everyone in the family loved Pink Bird. I thought we introduced her to everyone but we did not. When we were leaving to go home everyone asked how she was related to us. If we decide to take Pink Bird again everyone would love to see her again.

-We got home pretty early on Sunday, we had enough time to go to storage and drop the camping stuff back off. i had to take Pink Bird home and while I was out I grabbed a coffee. When I got home and Kommandant saw he asked if I got him one, I said nope but you can have the rest of mine (which was 2/3rds full). He finished it while I showered and started to relax from the weekend.

-Once i stopped moving my body decided that it was done with everything. I got really really tired and couldn't focus on anything. I was doing laundry going, had to do 3 loads and Kommandant's blanket. I was afraid to wash it because it's old and I didn't know if the washer could handle it. I asked Knittech before washing it and she said that it was fine.

-Kommandant was playing his game from the time I dropped Pink Bird off till I needed help with folding and putting away the clothing. I just could not focus long enough to do anything so Kommandant had to do it. By bed time once i was ready to fall asleep that was it for me. I didn't notice Kommandant get up and let the dogs out or the cat yelling to be let in or out.

-Kommandant set up a breakfast with a friend this morning. I really didn't want to get up that early but i did because i really wanted breakfast and coffee. Kommandant left me at the house because i was busy talking with Grilltech. I was maybe 7 minutes late, but it didn't matter because our friend wasn't there when i got there. It was odd that he wasn't there because he normally is early for everything. so Kommandant and i had a couple cups of coffee while we were waiting and he still didn't show. at 9 i made Kommandant call to make sure everything was okay and our friend didn't answer the first phone call. Kommandant called till he got an answer and our friend wasn't coming to breakfast. so Kommandant and I had a nice breakfast together this morning.

-I made it to work and realize i forgot my pineapple that i was looking forward to eating for lunch today. I texted Grilltech to find it (i didn't remember where i put it) and put it back in the fridge so i could take it tomorrow.

New Year

 Good Afternoon,

-Work-

• Things have changed a little since that last post. Job is still the same (which is good) but i don't think i am as happy as i could be.
• it could be just the Pandemic and the feeling like i'm not going anywhere.
• The Pandemic hit and the Owner has been doing things that i think aren't fair. He took scheduling, payroll, and my authority (i feel) away till things get back to somewhat normal. the mall has been on restricted hours (11-7).
• the owner wants 1 person doing the jobs and i understand about the payroll, but the person that is doing the schedule doesn't work in the stores and i just want to be able to do something other than talking to customers.
• my authority i feel that i don't have any because i don't see my employees and i just work to be the main person in the store during the week.

-Personal-

• Last weekend we Visited Kommandant's Mom.
• she was happy we were there and we didn't spend enough time there (Saturday 1AM - Monday 2PM)
• she wants us to move there and be with Kommandant's Family.
• Personally i don't think that is going to happen. Kommandant and i have our lives here. My Family, Our Friends are all here. i know we could always make more friends there and we would have his family there and we could spend more (than we do now) with them. but i don't want to move away from everything i know.
• i have taken up the Shuttle Tatting again.
• i found a pattern that i really like. I'm turning it into a doily that I'm going to put it on the table where Grilltech sits.
