A long full day

I had a pretty good day at the Y. So nice to see Amy and Kim maybe one day Kim and I will be able to work together again, until then we can just quick chat during our shifts.

I had a kind of hectic morning . . . a guy came in for a membership, the phone would not stop ringing, there were people comining and coming to check in so that means I have to push the button for them to go in the doors. The computer would not let me enter any info for the membership so I had to resort to the check in computer so I only had one scanner working. people do not like that. If they can't go in right away the world will stop turning don't cha know! Then when I was ready to take a payment, I could only do the prorated fee not the yearly fee grrrrrrrr. finally I let him just make that payment and told him I would figure it out when my supervisor came in. Bryan called in the meantime to tell me he was on his way and Danielle's bus was late but she was on her way too. No wonder it was so crazy and it was just about 9 that's the crazy time!

I had a nice chat with Jan, Mary had come down so we (Danielle and I) could go up and try some of the goodies that had come from Bob's house. I was happy/sad to see my shift end. I really like Danielle.

I came home and ate some lunch, let Chapman out and got ready for Hy Vee . . . Today Amber taught me how do do the inventory counting. You scan the barcode then count the number of product and enter it into the gun hit enter and move on down the row. I counted tooth brushes, floss stuff like that, then moved over to the deodorant wow there are a lot of brands! That was fun. Andy one of the front end managers whom I really like, came and said Amber is teaching you to count? You are really moving up in the world. I am not sure if I have been promoted or what's up but I like it. Denise said she would call me to the register if she needed me but when she needed someone, my name was never called. Then Amber set me to stocking the back stock and what was left needed to go into the specified bins. That was fun except for the part where we had to stack and re stack the bins, which are heavy with product. After my break which I wanted to drink a pepsi but had a Mountain Dew instead . . . she sent me to re stock some of the back stock. Well I looked and looked and looked some more for where this certain vitamin supliment went, and mind you the area is not that big but do you think I could find it???? I checked upc numbers on those tiny tags but to no avail even after Amber described to me where it went I still could not find it. She came to help me and she had double faced a product so there was not an empty slot. She started to laugh and said nothing like sending you on a wild goose chase! It was close to the PreNatal vitamins I had told her yesterday the story behind that and we had a good laugh. During the counting I was only fired once ;) Amber is a sweet gal with a young daughter. Her mom works Customer Service as does her step-dad Delaney who is one of the front end managers whom I worked for when I first started. Nice people. Her inventory count has to be done by Jan 3 and she has a lot to do so that's why I am helping as is Chuck so we will see how longs this lasts with me helping her.

McKinley 7th grade had their first game today. They beat Lasalle by 40 points. Dale who works at the Y anyways Dale's daughter played on the Lasalle team as does Bella Lesie Carrs daughter. I felt bad for them but they played JoAnna's Junior Warrior team and they did not stand a chance.

I went to dinner with Ben, Liz and Mo to Pig and Porter tonight in the Newbo district. What great food! It was fun to catch up with Mo and Smith's It was a nice time but this old gal is tired!!!! all that up and down the little step ladder and up and down the stairs today at Hy Vee I need to go to bed!!!!

Monday night Christmas week

My soul the time sure flies by!

I have a smart phone now - I love the talk to text feature

Chapman is here for a visit

Friday I was told I got to help Amber in HBC at Hy Vee - Micheal M the dairy manager said there was an email that i was not to check but to be Amber's helper. Chad told me today to check because one of the other checkers called in. So I checked and got to stock I really do like that! The time just flies by!

I cleaned out a spot in my stampin room to work on a gift and I have decided that I am going to clean, purge and get the room ready to use once again! I have so many things, stamps, inks, papers punches etc and I am ready to create once again! 8 years is long enough

In the cleaning, I ran across the Kathy Mattea's Good News CD and have been listening to it non stop! Her sweet voice is soothing for my heart.

I have been going through a strange time . . . lots of tears, tons of missing, feeling badly about things, being really happy and blessed, not feeling Christmas this year, excited for Christmas . . . see what I mean? All over the place here! It's all part of life I guess.

It was so great to be back in church yesterday! I have missed 2 weeks due to being gone to basketball tournaments. Hannah had one last Sat but it was here in Hiawatha so not far to go.

Sure has been cold and it snowed huge flakes and a lot coming down. I was glad we didn't get more than we did.

Waiting for some laundry in the dryer then I am heading to bed. Both jobs tomorrow then dinner with Mo, Ben and Liz after Hannah's game at McKinley and sending them off

December 1

I got a text from Kim yesterday wanting to know how I was and when we could get together for coffee or something . . . today Kim, Amy and I met at Hy Vee Market Grill Edgewood to catch up. We had a great time. I miss these girls so much. After working with them for nearly 4 years and now not seeing them or just in passing. Well, it was just what this girl needed!

Home now for the night, I have a load of laundry in the dryer and waiting for project runway to come on
thinking I need to start thinking about packing for Sat night but that can wait!

Feeling a little blue tonight so many changes, nothing stays the same except for God's love and His whole Being! Thank you Lord, that You never change in my ever changing world!
