Another Busy Day
So today was extremely busy for a Sunday. Trying to do paperwork and running the register and then do what is on the cleaning list. Which I didn't get much on the cleaning list done because I was too busy doing my Assistant Manager duties. It was so busy which isn't a bad thing but at times it was frustrating running back and forth a million times. We ran out of Juva Roast so the S&D guy better come or I and a lot of customers are not going to be happy. I hate when we run out of my coffee. I don't wanna have to go across the street to get my coffee. I like getting my Shell Fuel Rewards points when I get my coffee. I am up to 30 cents now woohoo. So it was busy at work today. This morning Buddy came in and he played tickets forever but we did a lot in Lottery Sales. I did over 400 dollars in Lottery Payouts. People were all about playing tickets today. I did 17 dollars and 29 cents in donations for Operation Christmas Child and 43 cents in Breast Cancer Donations. They extended the deadline for donations for Breast Cancer until sometime this month. Even though we as a company have already gone over our goal and my store has already gone over our goal of 700 dollars. We have raised over 1300 dollara at my store for Breast Cancer Awareness for the Susan G Komen Foundation of Augusta Blue Ridge.
So Jen is off today and at home with me. She is watching movies on some channel. She just got done watching some movie with Harrison Ford where he was a news anchor. I had never seen that movie before but it was almost over when I started watching it.
Jen and I went to Wendys for dinner. I had a Chilli with cheese and onions. It was good and we stopped at my store and got sweet teas.
Tomorrow is Monday the start of a new week. Its going to be a good week because I am using the power of positive thinking. I have my appointment Wednesday at the Salem Veteran's Hospital to get my Depo Shot. Jen is off that day so she is going with me to my appointment thankfully. Man Friday I had an appointment with Dr Brown and since I was there I decided to get my Flu & Pneumonia shot, one in each arm and now my arms are sore. Or maybe its my muscles that are sore I don't know but they hurt.
Came home and Bella and Cinder were happy to see me as they ran up to me and gave me kisses. I missed my babies while I was at work. I hate leaving them but they know I have to go to work so I can buy them bones lol.
So I haven't done any housework yet since I have been home but I think all I am going to do this evening is laundry cos I don't really feel like doing much else since I had such a busy day at work. Think I am going to just relax this evening
So last night after I mopped the living room I happened to look down at my phone and notice April was calling. I had 5 missed calls all from April and Tabitha and Jen. My.volume was down low so I never heard my phone ring. I had just taken my Risperdol and was about to put my pajamas on and go to bed. April calls and says the register is down and Tabitha needs me to come to the store. I am the closest one to the store so I went into work. I get there and Tabitha was kinda freaked out she had a very strange customer that kept standing there staring at her even after she told him that the register was down. She said 2 little girls came in and was paying for gas and they somehow messed up the Debit Credit Pinpad which caused an error on the computer. So I was down on the floor messing with the cords and trying to find the end of the cord for the pinpad and followed the cord all the way down only to get to the end of the cord where it was hooked up and realized that unplugging that probably wasn't going to help but I unplugged it anyway and it didn't reset it like I had hoped it would. So then I decided to try alt control delete and that didn't bring up the Task Manager so I decided to restart the computer. Doing that made all the pumps go down but thankfully no customers were on the pumps. So while the register was restarting I realized the cord in the back of the pinpad came out so I unplugged that and the pinpad restarted and then the register restarted and came back up and everything was fixed. So it was only two things that I had to do thankfully but it took me some time to troubleshoot the problem. But thankfully it all got fixed and everything was okay. So I went home after that and I reset the time on my alarm clock and the alarm on the clock just in case the time on my phone didn't reset itself which it did. And I woke up before the alarm clock went off anyway cos the alarm on my phone went off before the alarm clock did.
I woke up and let the dogs out this morning amd ate a Pumpkin Pie Poptart and then took my shower and headed to work for another busy day. Yesterday was busy too.

My Day & Thoughts
Stayed busy today at work. Chopped onions and the tears flowed and they made my nose run, they were strong. Someone said to put a piece of bread in my mouth while I cut them and it will fix that. Jen is at work wish she was at home. The weather is nice and I am not even wearing my coat that tells ya iys warm outside. I do have a thermal on however. I raised $5 or $6 for Breast Cancer on my shift and $2 on Cheryl's shift. So I raised about $8. Cheryl did good last night she raised over $20 and Tabitha and I raised over $15. We have reached $1300 and our goal this year was $700. Last year the goal was $60 and of course we met our goal. In November we will be doing Operation Christmas Child where we raise money and buy stuff to pack shoeboxes for children in other countries. I put my address on one box last year hoping the kid who got it would write me back but I never did hear anything back. I hope the kids have bright amiles and a great Christmas when they receieve their shoeboxes. Its all about brightening the day of a child and them having a good Christmas.
So I was looking out in my yard and realizing how many leaves I have to rake and oh man there is a lot. It seems like it will take forever especially cos I will be doing it by myaelf. And I have to pick up the limbs and put them in the trash can and I still have to mow the grass at least one more time before the cold weather hits. Ugh I am not looking forward to mowing. Oh well it must be done.
Wish Jen was home but she's not but she has to work and I understand. I just wish she worked a different shift. Oh well. So I am off Friday and I get two my pay check and my VA Check so I will be off paying bills plus I have an appointment at the VA Clinic that day so my day will be full. Then on the 6th I have to go Salem VA Hospital for an appointment. So that takes care of my two days off. Friday I am going to have to see if Mom wants to go look for her jobs for the next week because going to Salem will probably fill my day up. Guess we shall see cos I don't know what time my appointment is but its just for my Depo Shot so it won't take long. Maybe I will see if mom wants to go with me then we can go look for her jobs or do it before my appointment.

My Day
Feeling better than yesterday. Today the weather is nicer too. Its warm outside and the sun is shining and the wind isn't really blowing but when it does its not a cool cold wind like it has been. Bella and Cinder are happy to be outside enjoying the warm weather. Jen must be at work cos she's not here. I like having her home when I get hime. I wish she was first shift like me. Cinder loves getting rubbed and hugs and all the attention. She acts like she missed me so does Bella. About that time, to start laundry that is. I got more laundry to catch up on now cos Jen cleaned the bedroom yesterday. Its okay I don't mind doing laundry it gives me aomething to do. And I think I will sweep and mop and feed the babies.
I'm off Tuesday and Wednesday so Tuesday I am going with Mom and Wednesday I am cleaning up my bedroom and going to wash the sheets on the bed. Need to go through stuff so I can have a last minite yard sale to raise money for Breast Cancer. If I don't get it by rhen I guess we can still have a yard sale and the money will go to Operation Christmas Child. I xan't remember what our goal is but last year our goal was 10 shoeboxes.
Today was a busy day and I thought it would be slow but it wasn't. We did good in sales today. And we raised over $15 in Breast Cancer Donations. Better than yesterday for sure cos we only got four dollars yesterday.
I ate a hot dog for lunch with all fixins but chilli and cheese cos I don't like that on my hot dog. Didn't drink but 3 cups of coffee and 1 cup of iced coffee.
I didn't forget Tabitha this morning. I was earlier for work cos I changed my routine in the morning and set my alarm earlier.

My Day
So today was day 2 of training Tabitha and she did good. Tomorrow she should be able to run the register by herself while I do paperwork. Today was a busy day and it got even busier after we lowered our gas prices. 711 was having a grand opening or something so they lowered their prices so we lowered ours. After that we were so busy with people getting gas. Since they were having their thing that meant they would change their gas prices back up so April and I stayed over so we could change our gas back up. We sold a lot of hot dogs too more then we normally do which is always a good thing. Now I am home and Jen isn't feeling good. Thinkin maybe the flu shot made her sicker. You are not supposed to get flu shot if you're sick and she had or still has pneumonia. So she is laying on the couch resting and watching tv. We both have to work tomorrow so we will be fighting over the shower tomorrow and she always wins. Forgot to call the lawyer back today guess I will do it Monday since they don't work weekends. Can't wait to get divorced and finally be done with it all and put it all in the past. I had like 6 cups of coffee at work today well I am still drinking on the 6th cup now. I was bouncing off the walls lol. But, I got a lot done today and we were busy so we did good for the day. We raised $20 in donations for Breast Cancer for the Susan G Komen of Augusta County Foundation. We reached our goal for today which I set at $15 so we did good. We did better than yesterday that's for sure. Didn't get to talk to mommy yesterday because when dad called mom was at the kingdom hall at the meeting. So hopefully I get to talk to her today. I posted a bunch of stuff on her Facebook Wall I wonder if she saw it or knows how to look at it. It was a bunch of a recipes I posted on there. I want to make some of those at mom's house, it would be nice to cook with mom. We used to cook together when I was a kid. Mom is a good cook and I learn from the best. Today isn't as cold as it was yesterday but I had frost on my windows this morning before I went to work. I am going to have to start getting up earlier so I can defrost my windows. I hate this weather, the cold sucks but I guess I should look at this way, at least its not raining or snowing. So at least I am grateful for that. Off to do laundry which I am almost caught up on or so I think. Still need to so my Daily Writing Prompt which I have not picked a topic on yet.

My Day So Far
I had lost my keys yesterday so my boss came in on her day off. Thankfully yesterday evening after I got home from work I found my keys so my boss didn't have to come in today. This morning I got to work and smoked a cigarette.l and then I got my coffee. Since I like to experiment with my coffee this morning I drank Pumpkin Pie Spice Juva Roast Coffee. The day went by fast but the donations raised weren't so good. I only raised Eight dollars and 66 cents in donations for Breast Cancer today. People kept saying no or saying that they already had donated so they weren't donating again. Stayed busy all day and got almost everything done. It was busy for a Sunday which is good for our business. Our gas for regular is two dollars and 98 cents which draws customers. And when you pay cash you save $.06. I cut up onions and put fresh relish out and then put the hot dogs out but I didn't sell any unless you count the one I bought. I ate lunch and took my medicine. Normally around lunch time I switch from hot coffee to iced cold coffee. I drink coffee in the morning and then in the afternoon I used to drink soda but I stopped drinking soda altogether so I drink sweet tea or iced coffee. Today I had Pumpkin Pie Spice Mocha Iced Coffee. It was delicious and I am still drinking it. Jen came by to see me at work which was nice. Got off work and went to the bank then went to Food Lion to order April and Cheryl's birthday cake. April's birthday is the 22nd and Cheryl's is the 23rd so I am throwing them a joint birthday party on the 22nd. After that I went home and Cinder and Bella were happy to see me. Now I am at home relaxing. I swept the kitchen, played Words With Friends and I think I am going to start a load of laundry. I almost caught up on laundry. Never again will I let laundry get behind and pile up again. Geesh. Chris texted me about Karen, I seem to be his go to person when it comes to Karen. I don't mind listening but sometimes I get annoyed. I don't much care for negativity because growing up I had a lot of negativity in my life. Since then I have tried to have a more positive outlook on life and a more positive attitude. I don't like being around negativity. Sometimes I don't feel like being bothered with others problems. I don't mind helping people but sometimes no matter what I say I can't help their situation. Distance supposedly makes the heart grow fonser or so they say but it seems like the distance between Chris and Karen kinda just makes it worse. But anyway I am sitting here watching Roseanne. The tv is still on TV Land lol. It has been on this channel for days. I haven't felt like changing the channel and I have been too distracted and busy to change it. Been staying busy at home with cleaning and doing laundry and taking care of my fur babies. Jen is here at home but she's sleeping because she has to work. She still isn't feeling good but she doesn't want to miss work. Connor is sitting here on my knee asleep lol. Connor is my orange and white kitten. He id a cutie pie and so playful. Cinder is laying here next to me sleeping. Bella must be in the bedroom with Jen sleeping. I think I will give them another bone. What they do is Cinder starts chewing on the bone and then Bella takes over on it. They share their bones, they love each other and get along great thankfully. I'm so glad tomorrow is Monday oh wait I am off tomorrow and completely forgot. Good thing I just rememered because I probably would've went into work. Lol. I believe I have done that before haha. Normally I have Tuesday and Wednesday off but here lately the days off have been different. I hate this weather, its been getting colder and colder here lately. I hate the cold. I like the hot weather way better than the cold. Jen is hot natured so she likes the cols weather and in the summer she freezes me with the air conditioner. But me, I love Summer because I like being hot. I don't mind 90 100 degree weather. I hate the cold and I hate the air conditioner. The air conditioner in my truck hasn't worked since I bought it but I never had it fixed cos I would never use it anyway.
So my mood has been pretty good lately, thankfully my bipolar hasn't acted up neither has my Schiophrenia but the paranoia is still there. Guess that part will never go away even if I do take my medicine. I just don't trust people but maybe that's just me being aware. I have had many people throughout my life give me plenty of reasons not to trust people. You really cant seem to trust people these days because of the way they are. Seems like some people are only after something or they screw you over or uae toy. That has happened to me so many times. So I have my guard up and have for awhile and I'm not letting it down. Anyways I have laundry to do now. I made a pledge to write a page every day in October so here's my page for today.
