Generator

Yesterday I ended up working from 11-8. And I didn't take a break. I didn't really have time. And I left quite a bit that should have been done that I didn't get to. Like a pallet that only had five cases of eggs I could have stacked out of the way, and the crate juice. And I forgot to give Bonnie the totals for this week on the dsd milk I threw away. I really need to get that to her today because I need to push about 90 dollars into this week so that I only have about 160 to get rid of next week, which I won't, I'll only get rid of another 80 or 90 and then give her about 70 for the week of Inventory. That should scatter my massive amount of milk shrink that's floating around. I also didn't break down any of the freight. I didn't do the scan audit again, either. I keep thinking I should print this out and post it by the timeclock: (click to enlarge)



What's kinda funny is that I wasn't hungry till about 5:30 when I was doing the order, and then it stopped and I wasn't hungry even after I got home. I ate anyway, though. Well, and I did eat a tiny bit at work, I had a rice candy with me and I had one fruit snack left in my lunch bag. (not a whole bag of fruit snacks, just one single one left, because I've been munching out of it for a while now)

Yesterday Timmy was all, "Remember last year when someone announced a birthday? Well guess who's birthday's coming up now? Do you work on that day?"
Me, "Yes."
Tim, "Good, I'll come in even if I have that day off!"
Me, "What day do you think it's on?"
Tim, "I don't know, the 25th?"
Me, "No."
Tim, "The 23rd?"
Me, "No."
Tim, "The 29th?"
Me, "No."
Tim, "I'll ask Emily."
I then teased him for not remember when my birthday was. I figure I'll let him know on Sunday that he missed it. I didn't want to tell him yesterday because he could have still gone up to Bret and let him know that it was on Thursday cause then Bret could have announced it by saying it was "yesterday". And when Bret announces a birthday he makes sure he embarrasses you as much as possible. He's done it to me before.

And it happened again, as I was filling yogurt some old lady elbowed me out of the way. Turned around and it was my mom! And Emily. It was good to see them. They said I'll probably sell three more soaps. Since I seem to be having success so far and it's something I really enjoy, I think after I move I'll start branching out into other things, shampoo, liquid hand soap, bath salts, and other assorted things.

I need to pop my soap out of the molds this morning. I was going to make more soap today, just to get a big variety ready, but I'm out of lye, I forgot. Victor says he saw a big thing of it at Home Depot (why he didn't get I don't know, because I remember telling him I was out of lye, but then he had a migraine that night so he might not have remembered), but I don't know if I can justify going all the way out there just for that. It'll probably have to wait until next time we need something else too. Today I guess I'll make more fizzies.

I brought home some buckets, I'm not sure how many, I was too exhausted last night and I haven't made my way to the kitchen yet this morning. I'm guessing it was something like seven though, it was an odd amount. And I have another egg box because I intend to see if those bolts of fabric I bought at Wal-Mart will fit into it. I know they wouldn't all fit into one, cause I have too many for that, but if they're not too long to fit the boxes that would be a good place to put them.

Victor indeed got us a generator. It was 499.00 at Home Depot. There was a cheaper one at Lowe's but it was not a brand he'd ever heard of, so he went with the other one, Husky I think? Anyway, us hauling it into the house last night ripped the box a little so he wants us to assemble it today to get it out of the box. He says next time we pick it up it'll pop out of the box. So we'll do that later.

Today for dinner I want to make baked ziti, and this time I'm going to try and make a half recipe in the casserole dish. Usually I make a full recipe in a cake pan but we always struggle to eat the leftovers. But with a half recipe that should easy.

I woke up this morning to find Bonecrusher curled up against the back of my head. Aww!
