My oldest stopped by to show me some stuff he is working on for his business.
I sent him home with food. Us mama's always want to feed our kids :) Saved him the trouble of cooking taco meat- had some ready in the freezer (also sent him home with everything to make the tacos) so now I need to make some for youngest DS tomorrow. And a few steaks etc/sausage/ veggies and apples.
So...I wrothe last week to Oasis wondering why I could not find the Oasis Good Morning Smooties anymore on Shelves...and my sadness about t hat fact...I learned that they discontinued them...grrr..but for beeing a loyal consumer they are sending coupons...With the fact that I had not received all the promised compagny coupons requested..I am sure I will not receive those too..and that sucks!!!
Purchased some nice grounded coffee for my coffee maker for the week end..a treat.and for preserving I putted in the fridge in the scelled bag.:)Cheaper than coffee shop coffee...I am far from a mcdonals....And when I am near I will take a chance to still redeem my plenty coffee cards for cappucino of coarse hahah ;)
Nice that I opened my window bedroom for nice air change instead of ac...so crisp fresh air for me tonight :)

Butterball turkey burger fans-Giant Tiger has the box on sale for $8.97 this week!
Harvested the local pear tree and came home with 40 pounds of fruit. :)
... and 40 pounds of apples from our own tree. Sigh, still eating the frozen apple sauce from last year. :)
Good Everyone,
Ugh, what a week.
Tuesday I was working in the plant with a trainee, the manager was working in our other plant (he is overseeing both as one of our plant managers left), it turned into a crazy insane day. We lost 43 boxes of product so I had to find it (I did) and I also had the training for the training I have to do. We are going to be using a new online system so I need to teach the staff how to use it, but originally I was told someone else was doing the manuals and everything, I just had to physically do the training, nope they did not get them done. So I ended up saying I would do them as the only other option was to push back the launches (we are going one branch at a time) but the issue there is that messes with my schedule.
Wednesday originally I was supposed to be working from home as my trainee was off for the morning but our plant manager asked me if I could cover both of them as the manager needed to be in the other plant. So, I was in the plant alone and trying to put together everything needed for the training. I was up until 9 pm last night typing up manuals.
I got a call just after 7 last night, there is a meeting today, I kept hearing about it but I was not included (no comment, yes, I was a little hurt) but then I got a call I am supposed to be in the meeting but I am also supposed to launch the new online program in a branch today. Ugh so I will do the launch on our meeting breaks (it is an all day meeting).
Today I was up just after 4 am and finished the manuals, finished all of the online stuff needed for our staff. I have to meet a staff member at 6:30 am today.
I am already ready for a nap. I have not even had a chance to look at this week's flyers. I do not think we need much the fridge is still really fully, the freezers are full but I still want to see what is on sale.
Happy Thursday Everyone
@Ciel21 you bring a sense of joy and positivity to SC and I look forward to reading your posts. Please take care and know how much you are cared for by your SC family :flowers:

Took a break earlier and went for a 45 mins walk by the water. I need to get back at that everyday.
Will go for a walk again later tonight.
I can't look at my work anymore. I need to walk away and look at it with fresh eyes tomorrow.
I can eat the 40 pounds of apples in a reasonable time, but the pears seem to ripen too quickly. Pear sauce is a nice alternative.Quote:

I found it odd that the tree that normally produces hundreds of pounds of apples each year (700 pounds last year), did not yield a single apple this year. :(
Happy Friday, maybe.
Ugh, I woke up with a massive headache which is not good as I have so much to get done today. My emails have exploded as I have not spent a lot of time this week being me.
I did not get the training done yesterday, setting up the hand held units took way longer than expected and then I was in the meeting all day. Will have to find another day to go back but no idea when I am booked for the like the next 3 weeks.
I am loving being able to do my job again but now I am getting overwhelmed because now all the things we have ignored for the last 5 months I need to get done but I will get through it.
I looked at the flyers, a few things I want to pick up but I think we have enough to get the through the weekend so may hold off shopping till next week.
I need to write a meal plan, good news we did well with meals this week bad news is I do not have many meals to roll over to next week. Yesterday's weather has me craving warm comfort foods, I want lasagna, a full Roast Beef dinner with mashed potatoes, gravy and squash (I am sorry but for me squash screams fall), potato soup. But I need to look at the weather, I think we are supposed to get warm again this weekend.
Last night after work I hung out with Bro and his wife. We literally just laid around (well me and sis-in-law, bro sat) and talked and chilled it was fun. But I stayed out way too late but it was so nice to be out.
Okay, time to get back to all the work stuff.
