i get one day off this week and honestly.....
Carol · Jul. 18, 2012
i wake up at 0530???
it is probably a good thing i suppose..not sure exactly how..but i will pretend that it is.
ann and lynne? confirmimg that you guys are helping out here on friday still when we are short staffed? renee will be in for part of the day and will take care of the feeding, walks, meds and daily baths..but are you guys still on for the house...just need to be sure???
also want to let folks know that janice's heart on noses mini pig sanctuary is having their big garage sale this saturday so if you have time to stop by and support them, that would be great!..i thnk the address for the sale is on her facebook page.
as for the first late afternoon, early evening at my new job that i will need help up here cuz i am working an afternoon shift...it is wednesday july 25th for the house and mp building. so if folks that are interested in wanting to help out on that day...maybe if you come up on the monday the 23rd and tuesday the 24th around 530 pm when i get home from work...i can run you thru the routine?
busy day today..sugar goes into the vets in maple ridge this morning for her diabetes check, pick up the new flight cage for the budgies which is thankfully in maple ridge too, do a feed run to last the next week on the way home, send janice out for a hay run and help her unload (we don't have enough money to have a full delivery load)..penny is taking danny-boy in for his neuter and i will pick him up later this afternoon after i pick up sugar.....oh and i better book doc in for his neuter pretty soon too cuz i think he is healthy enough now.....i have that initial interview appointment for that archives thing i am doing, need to put in motion a plan for dixie's return which will be in the next couple of weeks..plus i am pretty damn sure i am forgetting that i am supposed to be doing some other freaking thing...hope it comes to me soon!
i start my first casual job orientation tomorrow which is a bit nerve racking and then back to work at my regular job on thursday...and this brings to mind the next thing i wanted to ask of everyone....i have a favor to ask...
i don't think folks realize how many times in a day whether i am here or working...that i get bombarded with stuff.....someone is upset, someone has a question or an idea or a thought or needs some kind of change made or someone needs me to to do something right away. my cell phone rings constantly, the emails fly in, i get stopped continually and pulled away from what i am doing....and usually it is all fine cuz that is just the way it is around here.
but it is not going to be fine for the next two or three weeks cuz i am going to be really busy and stressed (i hate starting new jobs...i like to comfortably know exactly what i am doing and i like feeling competent in my routines)...sooo..if at all possible if some not too critical things can be put on hold for a little bit without me..i would really appreciate this. after the first week in august, i should have at least part of my mind back and then i can be bombarded again!
if something is important..certainly feel free to talk to me but if it can wait, that would be great...this fragile old mind can only hold (not) so many things right now and it is going to be full of my working stuff and the things i really need to take care of here for a bit.
thx!
i will be there mon/tues/wed next week at 5:30 for bedtime
