Hi everyone!!!

I actually took the day off today and caught up on my sleep. But been bored since noon!!

Everyone is busy with family or work!! But when I am working, everyone is asking me to do something!!

So I just stayed in and been watching movies since!!

But I do feel refreshed resting at home.

Also I ate a whole box of cookies and 2 cups of Ice Cream.

I haven't been so bored in my life!! I feel like a loner today!!

Oh Win....I know it feels weird, but it is very healthy to take a bit of time for yourself. I was surprised to see you took a day off but also happy for you cuz we don't want to see you burn out. Sorry I wasn't around cuz I would have chatted and kept you company.

i'll admit i haven't been around all that much... i've been sucked into the target vortex

On the way home from work I got an Ice Cap mixed with chocolate!!! SOOOOO YUMMY!!!!!!

I found out about mixing with chocolate from the person ordering in front of me, I never knew we were able to do such a thing!! LOL

mmmmmm...I am so doing this! Thanks for the tip

I am always in the Target vortex! It was actually weird for me to turn that off and focus on what I had to do for my pup. Then when I was barely coming out of that fog of grief I found out that "my" Target put up the "9 days left" count down signs. Last thing I needed to hear!
But I went twice today and spent more than I needed to both times, lol. But @Basicangel and I had a pretty decent shop tonight and it really picked up my spirits.

How you been? How's your headache?

i've been doing the bouncing between both stores..over and over and now i can't do that.. as i was driving to target today last day it being 90% off (i was there yesterday too when it was 80% off) i was thinking "yes.. i'm a target locust... i'm going to sweep through the remains" then i went to the other target and did similar... i mulled over a few things and decided nope i'll cross fingers and buy if it gets lower... and if they are gone it wasn't meant to be

the headache has seemed to calm down though i still get the ringing in my ears every night annoyingly

Just finished catching up. Wanted to thank everyone for the words and thoughts regarding Ivy. I thought she was getting better too...but after 2 days of her whining, panting and pacing and not having any spacial awareness so she just ran into or over things with no regard. I knew something was very wrong. She spiraled downhill so fast! Got a second opinion from a new vet and he said it was likely brain lesions and gave me morphine and some anxiety meds for her because I was hoping to just make her comfortable for a couple days while I made arrangements. But the meds didnt even touch whatever it was that was making her cry, broke my heart...I was up at 6am on Sunday ready to do whatever I had to. So thankful my family and friends were all there for me. I got to lay next to her and tell her about all the people that love her and what she has done for me and about the day she picked me to take her home as a little puppy. Still all sinking in and still finding ways to celebrate her life and honor her and find some closure....

oh my it's a windy night

I was SOOOO shocked how much changed in Langley store over the 2 days I was occupied with care taking Ivy. It felt like a different place. Really seems like they are wrapping things up quickly now and getting the heck out of dodge I sure miss my late night shops where I was one of the only people in the store at 9pm and I just got lost in that Target vortex and was in a happy place. Now its 30+ people in line by 9pm and they are calling last call by 9:20

Its gonna be over soon *sigh*

i think for me the change was when they got to 50% level... you could see the shift in the store's attitude and how things were looking..and not just about the big empty spaces it was how well cared for the store looked and how the staff acted and ofcourse the customers then it just sort of snowballed..

i'll admit i was kinda amused when i took a quick look over the dvd/cds/blurays what were left and it was a bunch of the newest spider man for dvds and the Kanye west cds lol

Yeah, I get that. I saw that at many other locations too around the 50% mark. Langley always had a lot of pride and caring staff and things never really fell apart there until recently. But many of them are gone now and I guess replaced by temps hired by the liquidator. I just don't think they can keep up with the standards we are use too and really they have no leadership anymore. Moral is down. I feel for them.
