Something About Nothing............ #14

[schumigirl]

Good Morning Schumi. Yeah, cloudy and stormy day for us. Hope your new trainers fit as good as current one. I hate when they change a style I liked, even with the same brand. Hope you had a nice walk. Book reading and zoom call sound like you are busy today. Hope some good tea was sometime this morning.

Ah yes, a very dark morning, with still not quite the time to see the sun rise. And yes, per our weather guy this morning. Extreme thunderstorm warning posted for this afternoon. Even if you do not hear thunder or see lightning, if the sky starts to darken, and the wind picks up, get inside quick. Drenching rain predicted. But it is a fast moving storm, as will give that drenching rain to our neighbors West of the City around lunchtime, and the shore towns’ folks by dinner time. So based on that timeline, I think we will be seeing that rain mid afternoon. And ack, like Keisha, frost warnings also issued for the wee hours of tomorrow. With predicted wind chills as a high temp of 40. 40! Sigh. Tomorrow will not be a perfect Spring day. But at least with the rain, the high temp feeling in late afternoon is 65. Hence, may take a umbrella on my lunchtime walk, and not my sunglasses, but as the idea of pants is still an eh, may not be in pants until the walking. House is warm enough, wearing shorts. Yay!

And so, did have a better sleep, though heard the alarm go off, then must have gone back to sleep, as less than 10 minutes later, a noisy neighbor’s car woke me up. Glad that neighbor is up and noisy this morning, as was a good thing for me.

But as yes,

Woot! Wednesday it is. Yes, homies, be wonderfully happy on this hump of a day, where yay yay yay, Friday coming in two more sleeps. And since car needs it’s annual servicing on Friday, will take the day off to do that. At least little one has no classes on Friday, as study for finals starts, she can drive older one’s car, so I can drop off the car and not have to wait there. Woot!

Time for tea. Darn, others saw the muffins, and they are no more. May make an egg, and toast. Both take a quick amount of time, so off to see if any eggs left, and refill that tea cup.

Wonderful Wednesday homies.

Nice to have a shorter week again Lynne.....car servicing is never fun. We just got a call saying ours is due and interim service. Joy.

Love egg on toast for breakfast or lunch......quick and filling. Hope thunderstorms aren`t too bad.....and enjoy that tea!

A much better night last night. I feel almost refreshed this morning.

I had a pair of Skechers that I loved. They finally got to the point that they really needed to be replaced. I think I have finally got the new pair to a good comfort level.

Brr! Not quite as cold here tomorrow, but we are under a freeze warning tonight.


My husband does that on occasion. I think he is reacting to his dreams, but never remembers what he is dreaming about.

Gotta get to work. Hopefully no insurance companies today.

Glad to hear you slept well, it make such a difference.

Still waiting on them arriving today, should be within the hour. Yes, what I loved about the last couple of pairs, was they were comfy as heck straight away, so little bit worried these ones will be different.

My husband regales me almost every morning with tales of me talking/laughing in my sleep. In fact I just mentioned on here two days ago of me rambling about chives in my sleep.......yes, we had run out of chives in the pot in the garden.....mind working overtime I think......I always remember my dreams, I do have many and they are very vivid, but Tom never does......

Have a good day at work......

Rff you have a busy day lined up
That’s a short time for your ecg

my cardiologist has me wear mine for two weeks

I wanna trade doctors!
Lol

Hope all your tests turn out to be normal
And you get you test results quickly

Our hvac installer had to cancel this morning

he had his second covid shot yesterday and his arm is swollen

our heat and ac unit work will be done once he recovers

We are due lower temps and some rain today
It will be a day I can watch the game shows on tv since it will be too dreary to go anywhere

what is every here going to do today ?

Oh no......what a pain of them to cancel! Hope they rearrange a time soon.

Still you can pass your day as it suits you now.......and hope it doesn`t get too cool for you today......your temps will come back up again.....



It was perishing when we went out this morning to walk the beach.....so we didn`t. Took three steps out of the car, and straight back in......the wind was surprisingly bitter for around 50F. No escaping that wind on an open seafront.

So, went and changed jackets then headed up into the woods behind us, still cool, but got warmer as we walked. It`s so peaceful up there as you hardly see anyone else, occasional dog walker and that`s about it.

Rumour has it a local sailor who was drowned, is known to haunt that area as it was his favourite place over 100 years ago.......lol.....love it! Never seen anything remotely spooky there.....but it`s lovely and there are loads of little pathways off of the main dirt tracks. You could walk for hours.......and it did get much warmer thankfully.

Came home, had ham with salad on a slice of bread and a big mug of tea......and happy we still walked over 5 miles and reached our steps target. Beautifully sunny day, but so chilly.

Tom has been watching Dr Who in the big tv room, and I`ve been sitting in the sun room and will read for a while. The lizard is alive and well soaking up the sun....

Lasagne for dinner tonight......meat sauce has simmered, so will make the cheese sauce soon....lush!

And parcel has been delivered...... But, trainers no use.....too big.

 

[Lynne G]

Enjoy seeing the wooded walk, Schumi. Too bad those trainers were not the right size. Darn. But at least getting parcel today, was nice.

Ooh phone buzz with extreme weather watch that expires in 40 minutes and 49 seconds. But as any calm before the storm, the lunchtime walk was with sunglasses and did not need to change into pants.

 

[Charade67]

Charade, glad to hear good sleep. Hope a quiet work day for you.

Thankfully it was. Usually I complain when I am bored, but today I enjoyed it.

what is every here going to do today ?

Just another routine work day.

And parcel has been delivered...... But, trainers no use.....too big.

Bummer about the shoes. That path is the woods looks really tranquil.

Since I finally got a decent night's sleep I cam home today and did 30 minutes on my elliptical. I need to do this every day and get some stamina for my upcoming trip. I should also do some walking, but the wind is crazy today.

I ordered a fanny pack from Amazon that should arrive today. Hope I like it.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

finally getting to make a stop in!!!! I've been trying since Monday. But that darn work kept interrupting lol I knew having too much free time last week would haunt me this week

So our health authority lowered the age restriction for covid shots yesterday. I was lucky enough to snap up a couple of appointments for dh and I for last night. I couldn't find one in the city here, but was able to find one in a little town about 20 minutes away. So we got our first shot done!!!! Not feeling the greatest today. Woke up feeling rough, major headache and queezy stomach. Feeling a bit better now. Arm is super sore. Having a hard time lifting the phone to answer it...but I'm sure that will pass quickly. Hopefully if I can just rest tonight, we will feel better in the morning.

Other than that...not much else to report. The weather yesterday was absolutely beautiful. Dh and I went for a walk last night to enjoy it. As in typical Canadian style...they are forcasting - temps tonight with a snow/rain mix But people must be tired of being at home. People were out and about walking. People are taking the expensive toys out to play with now. - A ton of motorbikes were roaring down the roads. Maybe another walk is in the cards for tonight. For now, I know dh is NOT feeling well. So it might be a turn on the tv and veg out night.

Hello everyone. I am back after an unnecessarily stressful trip to Georgia. It looks like we have everything settled, at least for now. The nursing home was releasing my mom because her insurance had reached the limit of what they would pay. My cousin was panicking because she thought my mom wasn't ready to go home and that her mother (74, diabetic, bad back, recently had a concussion) was not capable of taking care of her. I went to GA to talk with my siblings in person about what options were available. We were considering doing private pay for a few more weeks so Mom could get more therapy and regain some strength before going home. It turns out that my cousin was blowing things a little out of proportion. My brother and I spoke to the nursing home social worker and the head of rehab. Both said that she was improving (could get dressed unassisted, was making good progress walking with a walker, and other things) and they felt that Mom was ready to go home and that mentally she would be much better off at home. My cousin still protested this idea, but my aunt was adamant that my mom would not stay in the nursing home. My brother and I talked to my aunt, and she kept insisting that they would be fine and she will be okay with taking care of my mom. Mom's insurance will pay for home healthcare, so that is a plus. We then talked to Mom and reminded her that when she goes home she has to be compliant with her treatment and therapy or else she may have to go back to the nursing home as a permanent resident. Mom also has an appointment with an oncologist on April 28. We are anxiously waiting to hear what she has to say about Mom's treatment.

I am glad you were able to make some solid plans. That is never and easy thing to do. It is sooo stressful. I hope you get POA figured out as well as a will. Speaking from experience, it is a nightmare when there is no will. When my mil passed unexpected, my fil had ZERO idea about anything!!!! He didn't even know how to use his bank card It was a huge lesson for us.

The service for the Duke of Edinburgh was extremely emotional for sure. I think everyone who admires the Queen felt for her and her family. Prince Charles looked especially emotional. Loved the choice of music too, certainly very different to any Royal ceremony we`ve seen before.

Loved his own stamp was on everything in the service, including the wonderful Land Rover......

It was a beautiful service. I know our new coverage touched on all their trips to Canada over the years. Both the Queen and the Duke did several visits here over the years. Our local hospital is named at the Queen. I believe as part of their '73 trip was when they opened our hospital. I love the land rover!!!! It seemed like it was perfect for him. I also thought the same thing about Charles. I am sure the wind is out of all of their sails right now. They get zero privacy to just mourn and be like everyday people. That has to be so difficult in times like that.

ots of follow up checks on the agenda. If you believe in a higher power, please include Eli in your intentions.

I will for sure be sending positive thoughts to all of you!

We have had a really lovely day. Lunch was excellent and sun out and warm courtyard was very comfortable. DIL is glowing and only 6 weeks to go. We had a drive of almost an hour to the pram store and arrived for the appointment at 3 when a minutes silence was being held and respectfully the staff all stood in a circle.

Surgery was good according to the Surgeon. He was able to repair retina and drain off infection, but when they dilated her eye this morning it was so swollen they could not visualize the retina very well. She will see the surgeon again in 7 days to let him have another look. Prayers that all the swelling will go down and the retina will still be intact.

I am soooooooo glad her surgery went well. I hope she continues to have a speedy recovery as well.

We just finalized some plans to spend 4 days at Disney but we are going to split it up. We will go 1 night 2 days each and stay on-site. We will do this within the same week. We need to come home do not want to leave the kitties too long, and we don't have a sitter yet. Brian has offered to drive home as we are only 25 minutes from Disney but I am fine with the split. I have not done Disney without FP so I will have to do rope drop. We are really interested in Star Wars, Pandora and the flower/garden show at Epcot. There was a good Florida resident deal.

I have to say I'm green with envy right now. I am chomping at the bit to make some travel plans - and escape the wonderful Canadian spring weather of warm/cold/warm/ cold lol.

I love skechers......the trainers (sneakers) I have are skechers and so comfortable, need a new pair but for some reason they are always out of my size. I keep checking the website every day. However, these ones are still comfy for walking.

I am a skechers fan as well. They are my go to for shoes mostly. I recently purchased a new pair...and pulled out a pair I had bought from the outlet store that I was going to use for the gym...but now use them for walking. I will keep all you ladies in mind when looking for different footware. You all seem to have the ins and outs on the good brands to buy.

Need to make a run to the bank and a quick visit to the store. I miss the pool in Florida. I enjoy swimming and exercising in the water.

I would LOVE to have a swimming pool of my own. Maybe in our retirement, there might be a pool when we want to winter someplace warmer.

I will pop in and out over the week when able....TTFN!!

Safe travels!!!!!

We have snakes Lynne

This is part of the reason why I like to live in a place where the air hurts my face We have garder snakes here...that's about it. I do know closer to the US boarder, there are rattlesnakes and one other one. But I really like my snake free environment!!!!!

Well, I have a few more papers to work on and shuffle away.

I hope everyone has a great evening!!!

Thanks Lynne.....we`re very lucky to have the sea in front of us and woods and forrests behind us. Going to head to the store this afternoon and try to pick up a pair, but you can`t try them on yet, so it`ll be a guessing game again.

How was the storm? Was it as bad as forecast?

Thankfully it was. Usually I complain when I am bored, but today I enjoyed it.

Just another routine work day.

Glad you had a good day, it`s nice when you`re kept busy and the day usually goes much quicker. And having a wonderful sleep is fabulous!!

Yes, it`s not fun walking in the wind, especially if it`s really cold. And stamina does build up, slowly in my case, but it does......I`m now looking forward to our walk every day instead of thinking I`d rather drive.....lol......

finally getting to make a stop in!!!! I've been trying since Monday. But that darn work kept interrupting lol I knew having too much free time last week would haunt me this week

Congrats on snagging the vaccines for both of you! Excellent news and hope today sees an improvement in how you feel.

Glad you`re having some lovely weather too, yes, I think people are so fed up now in some places.

Skechers are brilliant for walking in. I avoided them for years, but once I tried them, I did like them a lot. I have found the style I usually have on the skechers site, but they`re out of stock and no sign of a replacement, so giving up on them.

You`ll be able to make travel plans soon I hope Pumpkin.......good to see you and hope you are doing ok today.......



Beautiful weather today again, no cloud and a slight frost as we had a clear night.......forecast never has it as nice as it is. But, another sunny morning with no breeze today so should be lovely walking.

Didn`t last late last night either.....and no ramblings about chives through the night! Always have the strangest dreams though, and Tom is always thrilled to hear about them next morning.....maybe not......but he pretends well!!

Got a grocery delivery coming around lunchtime today...nothing exciting, but this afternoon will drive to the retail park and try find some new trainers. Have to go to the Post office too, to return the other ones.

Think we may grill out tonight as it will be beautiful again.......but for today our breakfast is a roll with bacon........big mug of tea too.

Happy Thirsty Throwback Thursday ​

 

[Lynne G]

Good Morning Schumi. Guess we were too far North or just the perfect area where we got some thunder and some very light rain. That was it. Little one was disappointed. She likes a good thunderstorm. She should have been more West of the City. West of the City got golf ball size hail and lots of rain. Will say though, weather was not nice when went out around dinner time, as little one had a gift card she wanted to use, and the item she wanted was on sale yesterday. Ooh, felt like buying a jacket and pants. The wind was a blowing so hard, brought chills, and we had shorts and sweatshirts on. At least the car had its temp raised from low to 75F, and the store was warm. Hope you were successful in finding new trainers. Here, you can try on shoes, but still hit or miss with fitting rooms being open.

Ah yes, that 2 degrees above freezing on the thermometer this morning. Chilling, yes. But at least we will have a mostly sunny day, with the sunrise closer to 6 am now, and while no sunlight shining through my window, it is bright out. And while no doves to hear, birds were enjoying their day singing since before I got up. While I am in a town with houses close together, we do have a township park less than a mile from us, and trees in the yards. So we do get a nice amount of birds. But yeah, we do have snakes, and quite a few 4 footed animals that all can be pests. Why most of us secure our trash cans. Those raccoons are very good at trying to get into them, and eat the neighbor’s chickens.

And so, that week day routine means screen up and working for over an hour now. As such, my little breakfast tends to be early, like now, and a refill of tea cup. Off to find what to have for breakfast and yes, will be refilling tea, as thirsty this Thursday.

Homies, have a terrific Thirsty Thursday. Throw back a drink, and cheer that Pumpkin and her DH got their virus vaccine. Yay!

And a final Woot! Yep, turned off alarm. While may be up early, tomorrow no need to move as fast, but still want to be out early. Warned little one she needs to set her alarm, and get to bed earlier than her 2am or later bedtime. The car repair shop opens at 8 am, and I like to be early to drop the car off. Car place is about 30 minutes away, so I expect her to be waiting for me, as I drop my car off.

 

[Realfoodfans]

Well done to Pumpkin and DH in your vaccinations. Sore arm seems to be the norm for many but hope yours improves quickly.

Lynne sounds like raccoons are similar to our pine martens for liking the trash. None here but seen them a few times around Forestry Commission log cabins we have stayed in.

Today we saw a stoat on our lakeside walk. Do you have them? Like a small weasel.

After our walk we collected some orders from an out of town shopping area and picked up a dine in for Saturday night. M&S are a nice food store that years ago were first to introduce a couples dine in meal to cook at home. Occasionally they now do a family one and as Italian thought it would make an easy Saturday evening. Did not choose desserts in our selection but extra sides so with some salad and wedges will do for 5.

Orders were lots of shorts and leggings for the children as can try on at home and return if unsuitable. They have both grown so much.

Another warm and sunny day so Kev is currently setting up the water sprinkler as the lawn is so dry. I’ve potted up half a dozen strawberry plants that had self seeded outside of the Belfast sink that is my strawberry plot.

Just time for a cold drink before the school run.

 

[Lynne G]

Yes, Julie, we have stoats, though mostly North of me. Cute to see. Enjoy your nice day, and great you picked up grocery items.

We have a beautiful sunny day, with my phone flashing a frost watch to be done in 24 hours. Ack to a cool spell. Jacket, long pants and a hat and sunglasses will be attire for lunchtime walk.

 

[Charade67]

Quick post from work. I have run out of things to do. Luckily it is almost time for lunch.

So our health authority lowered the age restriction for covid shots yesterday. I was lucky enough to snap up a couple of appointments for dh and I for last night.

congrats on getting the shot. Hope you are feeling better today.

Here, you can try on shoes, but still hit or miss with fitting rooms being open.

So far Kohl’s is the only place I found in my town that still has the fitting rooms closed. I was in JCPenney recently and they had every other stall closed for “social distancing”, but they weren’t disinfecting the other stalls after each use. Doesn’t make any sense to me.
We are under a freeze warning tonight. Seems crazy this late in April.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

doing a morning stop in!!!

Feeling much better today! Slept like a log. I don't think I moved until dh got up to start his day. 5:30 is tooooooooo early for this chicky!!!!
We woke up to a lovely layer of snow on the lawn and vehicles this morning My feet were silently screaming as I put socks on this morning. I hate cold hands and feet. If either of them get cold, I will be cold and grumpy all day.
I had seen buds starting to appear on my lilac tree yesterday. I think it's early enough and the buds small enough that the flowering buds not showing yet that they didn't freeze. It has happened other years, that we get a late season snow, and my lilac flower buds freeze and I get no beautiful lilacs.

idn`t last late last night either.....and no ramblings about chives through the night! Always have the strangest dreams though, and Tom is always thrilled to hear about them next morning.....maybe not......but he pretends well!!

I wish I remembered my dreams. I very seldom remember my dreams.

h yes, that 2 degrees above freezing on the thermometer this morning. Chilling, yes. But at least we will have a mostly sunny day, with the sunrise closer to 6 am now, and while no sunlight shining through my window, it is bright out.

Be glad you didn't see snow. I'm a little frustrated by that today lol

Another warm and sunny day so Kev is currently setting up the water sprinkler as the lawn is so dry. I’ve potted up half a dozen strawberry plants that had self seeded outside of the Belfast sink that is my strawberry plot.

We haven't even racked our lawn yet. That was on the agenda for this weekend. I know this snow won't last until the end of the day...but we won't be seeing the temps we were earlier in the week.

Charade....how exciting....your " It's the final count down" it will be here before you know it!

Well...I should shuffle a few papers around.

Have a great day Homies!!!!!

 

[Charade67]

I wish I remembered my dreams. I very seldom remember my dreams.

My husband is the same. He rarely remembers his dreams. I always have crazy dreams. Last night I dreamed that I was supposed to be on vacation, but had taken a couple of part time jobs instead. One was fast food and the other was in retail. I think all of the stress of the past few weeks is really getting to me.

I am glad you are feeling better. I think lots of sleep is the best thing.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

I know this is weird, but when I do remember my dreams, it will usually signal when a major shift is happening in our lives. It will usually involve house hunting/moving into a house/fixing a home. The condition of the home will dictate shift that is about to change. I made the correlation about this about 10+ years ago. Super weird, but true. I also have many deja vu experiences as well.

 

[Realfoodfans]

I don’t try and remember my dreams as generally nightmares! I went through a phase of night terrors about 20 years ago and that was tough.

Hope those cold temperatures and the snow disappear quickly. We have had some as late as May here but hoping we’re past that now.

 

[schumigirl]

I love a good storm!! One of our favourite pasttimes in Florida, and on several of our visits to NY too, we`ve seen some whoppers. Shame your daughter didn`t get to see one after all.

And you have a 3 day weekend too? It`s so nice to see it lighter in the mornings....we`re just after 4.30am now, but this morning it was before that it was such a clear crisp night. Summer will hit us soon.....

My husband is the same. He rarely remedy his dreams. I always have crazy dreams. Last night I dreamed that I was supposed to be on vacation, but had taken a couple of part time jobs instead. One was fast food and the other was in retail. I think all of the stress of the past few weeks is really getting to me.

I am glad you are feeling better. I think lots of sleep is the best thing.

Sleep is amazing. I have a couple of friends with whom sleep is troublesome to say the least.....I feel bad when they tell me of sometimes sleeping for two hours or less.....I honestly sleep like a rock most nights.

Sounds like your mind is in overdrive right enough......

Last night one of mine was a group of hare krishna type women, were singing in a group outside our home....I was telling Tom to call the police as they broke our gates, but when I looked there were no gates and I was back in one of my childhood homes......I was also yelling b***er off at them ala Bridget Jones.....who knows there!!!

I know this is weird, but when I do remember my dreams, it will usually signal when a major shift is happening in our lives. It will usually involve house hunting/moving into a house/fixing a home. The condition of the home will dictate shift that is about to change. I made the correlation about this about 10+ years ago. Super weird, but true. I also have many deja vu experiences as well.

I do believe dreams are our minds way of telling us something, we just don`t always recognise it. Yes, deja vu is something I experience a lot too. And several dreams are always recurring. One is very vivid and is terrifying. One of my sister`s friends was murdered when I was 10 and I think it`s connected somehow as there are several coincidences. Nightmares are few and far between now, but apparently I laugh a lot during the night......lol......


Almost missed Charade`s countdown........that`s a big wooohoooooo......



Ended up having the best day. But, my goodness I`m ready for a sit down.....

Walked 7 miles today as the weather was completely glorious.....and hot. Our last 2 miles had us red in the face with the sun beating down on us, but it was lovely at the same time.

Came home, showered, friend joined us for a quick lunch outside, grocery shopping was delivered then we drove to the "big" town as my friend told me there was a Skechers store there. It`s less than an hour to get there, but can take you the same time to park. But, we managed easily as it wasn`t so busy.

Delighted to find they had the Skechers I was looking for and grabbed them quickly. Girl is going to call us when they get more in of the same and we`ll get a 2nd pair as we did have to search for these one. So comfy. Didn`t spend any time wandering around the town.....well, maybe one or two purchases were made.

Came home and we grilled outside again as it was still so lovely. Chicken kebabs with pineapple on them, steak and some sides.

Plan a night in front of the tv tonight with a small pink gin.......hope Lori is enjoying a cocktail or two in Alabama........

Your day sounds like it fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am still shuffling paperwork. We had two new hires today....already need to shuffle more papers as one didn't come back after lunch. I guess he doesn't need the job that badly

The sun is shinning. The snow has melted. It's only slightly above freezing yet, so nothing to get excited about. I enjoy cool/cold days more if I can soak up some vitamin D

Hi everybody!!

I did a quick read through of the last few pages....hoping I can quote and reply to a few things before bed tonight.

We awoke at 2am on Wednesday to head to the airport. There was a snowstorm and we wanted to allot enough time before our extremely early flight. (Later in the day there was a multi car accident just minutes from my house...quite treacherous conditions)

We managed to run some errands to get our chores started, but were completely shattered by 9pm!

Today was quite productive.....found a few surprises at the condos. And not the good surprises one hopes to find, but that is the life of rentals.

We always call it a day by 5pm. So here is the first glass of wine on the 9th floor balcony.
Hope to stop in as time allows....Cheers!

Good evening. Uneventful day today. Tomorrow will be an exciting day of laundry and house cleaning.

I know this is weird, but when I do remember my dreams, it will usually signal when a major shift is happening in our lives. It will usually involve house hunting/moving into a house/fixing a home. The condition of the home will dictate shift that is about to change. I made the correlation about this about 10+ years ago. Super weird, but true. I also have many deja vu experiences as well.

Actually that makes a lot of sense. I have always been told that dreams are your subconscious processing your life events. I just wish I could understand what my subconscious was trying to tell me.

I don’t try and remember my dreams as generally nightmares! I went through a phase of night terrors about 20 years ago and that was tough.

I can certainly understand not wanting to remember those. I think dh had night terrors back when we were first married. He would often wake up screaming, but never remember what he was dreaming about.

I do believe dreams are our minds way of telling us something, we just don`t always recognise it.

I just wish I knew what my mind was trying to tell me. There was one time I really understood my dream. I may have mentioned it before. Have I told the new job dream? One of my most bizarre was when I was in middle school. I can't remember if I have posted about that one. It involved me and a friend in a banquet hall. I call it my psychic dream.

I am still shuffling paperwork. We had two new hires today....already need to shuffle more papers as one didn't come back after lunch. I guess he doesn't need the job that badly

We had a few of those when I worked at Home Depot. I think the job was not what the were expecting.

We always call it a day by 5pm. So here is the first glass of wine on the 9th floor balcony.

Very nice view. Hope you have a nice time.
