The move is done, hotter than heck, and telemarketers

The move is finally done. I’m all settled in with my 94 year old grandfather. Now if you live in Illinois you know that we haven’t had too many warm days.   But it hasn’t been cold enough to keep the heat on, except in this community. You see my grandfather lives in a 55 plus community. It’s not a bad thing even for a 48 year old. But it’s warmer than hades in here. Some days I think I’m going through the change. Which is not the case at the moment.   So a friend of my gave me a little portable air cooler which really just puts water in the air like a humidifier. I keep my window open the ceiling fan on high.

We all know telemarketers are a pain in the butt. So when it comes to them calling the house if they don’t identify themselves grandpa won’t talk to them. Nor does he hang up on them. What does he do you ask?  Good question he just puts the phone down and goes about his business. Once he hears the dial tone he puts the phone back on the hook. I finally put home on the do not call list which takes all the fun out of hearing them talk to dead air.

The air cooler and breakfast that grandpa cooked.

The Big Move and Chalking

On June 1 I have to be out the apartment I currently live in.  My boyfriend, who is 12 years older then me  has retired from being an union carpenter. He had a sister in Tennessee and he wanted to move there. So in the mean time I’m going to move in with my grandpa. So while he’s down there I will stay behind and work and live in a 55 and older community and I’m only 48. They have some great amenities there and let’s face it I’ll have quality time with my grandpa.

So the 45 minute drive will be worth it. The packing hasn’t been fun but the donating of useless junk is great. I will actually end up with a crafting area to do my crafts. Actually I only do Chalk Couture. It’s awesome. You pick a surface, then a vinyl and finally pick out your chalk paste.  Put it all together and you get a great looking sign.

So while he’s having fun I’ll be working and making signs.  Oh and pool time.

Learn some phone manners

People it’s not hard to identify who you are when calling someone. Oh hanging up when someone is in mid sentence. Really where you raised in an ant farm. Because it sounds like you were raised with the sea monkeys.

Not to mention when do I have to ask you 10 questions when to find out why the hell you want when you called me.

Freaking out over Jason Momoa shaving his beard

When have we become more focused on what celebrities do to there faces?  I'll be the first to admit that Jason Momoa is hot.  Like most people I have seen pictures of him over the years and he is hot in all of them.  With or without the beard he's eye candy.  I am one of the few people not freaking out about him shaving his face.  Ok maybe the only one.  Why because HE IS JUST LOOKING NO MATTER WHAT IS ON HIS FACE. 

By the way it's his face and we have no say in if he shaves or not.  Lisa Bonet has a say in his face because they are married.  But the rest of us get over it. There are other things to freak out about.  Like garbage in the ocean or in the forests.  How about the hungry people in the country and the rest of the world?  Freak out about those things.

Ok that was my mini freak.

People just breath.....it'll be ok just don't call in the monkeys

No matter where you are going through any type of change can either be challenging or not.  It is more challenging when people start freaking out and calling every brother, sister, monkey, and space alien around.  Calling all those people will not make the change go away nor will it help to fix and issues that occurred with said change.

So yes, you may not be getting all your emails on all your devices or you may not like the new boss.  But take a deep breath and realize that some things are not in your control and some are.  You can leave your job because you really cannot stand the new dragon that is in charge.  Just remember that the grass isn't always greener on the other side as it can have some brown spots in it.

If you're not getting emails and the IT group is working on it then use the voice you were given and call people.  What texting and social media took it away?  I'm sorry then maybe you should go find it again and get practicing on your social and speaking skills so you can function like a human being again.  Yes, it's that easy.

So go into the world and breath.  Enjoy the moment and remember clowns are not always scary.

Because everyone needs a sign

Yes everyone needs a sign. I was out with friends and Saturday and they decided I needed to go to their house and make a sign.  My one friend sell Chalk Corture. If you haven’t done it you need to. I don’t know what I was waiting for.  We played and laughed for hours. So what are you waiting for. Go get addicted to making signs. You won’t regret it. 

  

Last day at the partime job

Yes, it happened.  I'm a free woman on the weekends.  No, I am wondering around offering things for free.  I do not have to work the weekends anymore.  Which is great because I have a full-time job that I can concentrate at now and I can work on their stuff when it comes up.

The adventures are going to start coming more now.  Like a trip to the moon or under the sea.  Either one can be a great day trip.  Ok, maybe not physically but mentally I can do it.

Until next peeps!
