Is it too late for me to say "white rabbit"?

yesterday that work place called me, it was the first time my mom treated me like a mother,  I starting singing my parody to House of the rising sunin music class and now the music teacher may want me to sing the whole thing.  he he

Yesterday was last of a long weekend with my granddaugther (I should see her again this weekend), today on the way home I stopped off in an historical part of London, and was a tourist for a while.

No, not at all!

Glad you had a good time with her! :)

Not going anywhere today; that's good because I didn't wanna have to go out in the rain (even though there hasn't been much to speak of today).

besides the rain, I got quite a few amazon orders that should come to me and just think I ought to be here at home although I don't answer the door

Tomorrow will be a change of plans, it will be a more local day for me.

I only ran a few errands today; been at home ever since. Perhaps I needed a "lazy" day in a sense.

Flew to Edinburgh this morning with James. We had a look around the university and found out about the course he wants to study. Flew home late afternoon and now I am very tired

I loved that city! One day wasn't enough for me  :\'(

We possibly would have had half an hour or so to do something if I hadn't been paranoid about getting back to the airport. We caught the tram into the city centre and had a reasonable walk up to the university and took a different route back.


I loved that city! One day wasn't enough for me  :\'(


It would have been nice to spend a bit longer there, but the flights had cost enough already without adding on a hotel night or two

I love that Halloween is on the 31st this year.  It means SPOOKY TIMES WILL HAPPEN!

Just got home hard work and joys, allergy cold oh boy


tried to finish something before music class but It's not quite going to be done. 

music teacher wants to see this when I finish it.  After we did a somewhere over the rainbow thing, I started singing I been too the wizard on a horse with no name.  Music teacher wants to see this.

well, I don't think that's what I want

I had an interesting day at work; today we had a little staff meeting, to discuss our company's progress over the year gone by. In addition, lunch was catered from Panera, so I didn't have to bring a lunch today!

It has another few days with my granddaughter, she is improving well.

okay, yesterday evening I went with my parents to an art show.  Once upon a time, I did art in this group.  might try again now having some stuff that might help get my ears to hear better and the fact that I just cant sit at home here forever.

parody- last line, don't push me

anything else?

Keep trying, something will happen, you may chance upon a new skill?

just don't have a drawing or painting idea right now and don't if I'll be called to start this Job Exploration thing.  Might want to try another program for learning how to live on my own, but mom and I agree I shouldn't live on my own

just the fact that sometimes I don't hear or see right.  My brain falls asleep.  I have to go with someone to the bank because I cant hear any talking through the screen.  That's all, I'll need some type of care giver at least sometimes

Oh ok.  I'm sorry, I hope that wasn't too personal.  I didn't mean to pry.

it's alright

Is this a doctor's appointment?

No, not really. It was something else. But it went well.

Now I'm home and don't intend to go out the rest of the day, but I might decide to take a walk around the neighborhood later on.

At the office today I was informed of a raise in my pay rate.

I got a message that the music class I am in was asked to perform at a Macy's.  Maybe find out what the event there is when I don't feel so sleepy.

Would this happen to be related to the 15 dollars an hour that will be going up in January of next year?

Could be, but I don't know for sure.

Anyhoo, I had a dental appointment this morning. Everything went well with that.

Could be, but I don't know for sure.



I heard in January workers will be getting $15.25 an hour.

Well, I don't wish to state my pay rate openly here (I feel it is confidential), but it is a bit less than that. :-X

Going to dinner and then the theatre tonight. Going to see "L'elisir d'amore (The Elixir of Love)" which is an opera. Yup, I'm actually getting Carlos to take me to see an opera.


Cat

have just gotten a message that my job exploration thing will start on Monday!  finally! something starting to happen again in my live.

Don't think I'm going to be gone all day though, I haven't been asked or told when to show up

^ Well, whenever it is, I'm sure they'll let you know.

As for me, I had a fine day today. :)

;D

Ready for a funny story?

Today, at work I brought in a dozen donuts.  twenty dozen!  Each person had 20 donuts.  We all loved them!  There were many different flavors and fillings, but my favorite was pumpkin with strawberry and onion filling.

We had 3 people at the office.  They all loved the donuts!

Today, I brought in many, many donuts.  But only 2 were eaten.

Halloween prep, having a lot of fun.

Do you have anything scarier?

been kind of looking for different threads to because I'm board.  Then I thought that was a good idea too to keep away from something that hurts my eyes.

there's also so many threads around here that look like nobody has posted in for who knows how long. I thing someone might post in them, but there is so many threads to go throughto go through

I can understand that. Sometimes I go through and find old threads to resurrect, and post in them if there's something useful that can be contributed.

Anyways...today was quite a busy day. I actually arrived to work a few minutes late because there was an accident on the freeway which was backing up traffic for miles and there was really no way to get around it. But my boss knows that I have a long way to come, and she was glad that I arrived at the office safely.

Today was just one of those days that got away from me.

I ended falling asleep for a while before dinner.  From lunch I had food in my tummy but no energy.  The training place is ready to talk to me and get started.  They say they got lots of time on Thursday.

It is two weeks off school/work for James and I. We went up to Cumbria to stay with Dai for a few days.

Saturday was very wet. Dai and I still went out and did the Parkrun. My shoes still haven't dried out!

We also painted the entrance hall. This house has high ceilings so Dai wasn't happy working up the ladder with no one else in the house.  We were able to get a reasonable amount done, plus make decisions on lighting/fireplaces and things in the next room we want to do.

On Sunday we went to an escape room. In this one there were three Egyptian themed rooms, with the final aim being to find the name of the Pharaoh whose tomb we were in. We got out in time and only needed one clue.

I will not be here at one.  Gargamel and I will be discussing how to get rid of the Smurfs once and for all finally hopefully

My eyes are all buggy. I have been working on a photoshop project for the grandkids' Christmas present (turning them into fairies again). I zoom in on the pics to make sure I get those little details-which I'm sure most people will not pick up on-but I will. And after staring at the screen all day-AAAUUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!! I am probably about 1/2 way done and I want to get them all done by the end of this month. I just hope my eyes will hold up.


Cat

I've ended up so far spending more of my time today looking at my plants outside.  This morning I've laid out beads to make a necklace, but don't have any string.  Yes Tomorrow I will be talking with the training people to get something started

Well, sounds like you've been quite busy with this project. Sometimes I like to zoom in to get details on pictures too; it can be quite a task!

Anyhoo, twas a busy day at work for me. I did have to deal with heavy traffic on the freeway this morning, but it wasn't nearly as bad as it was the other day. And the traffic coming home wasn't bad at all.

It seems summer construction season did not end here and instead became more busy into October (probably in time for municipal elections on Tuesday ::)). It takes me 1-1.5 hours to get back from work when usually it was 40 minutes in the spring. Yesterday it took me 3 hours to get home from downtown Toronto and it was a completely sunny day (usually it takes 1h30m).  :-\\

Often times during the summer months, there isn't often any heavy traffic on the roads as I drive to work.

I'm just glad I arrived on time, and most importantly, got there safely.

Don't you know, the shortest distance between two points is usually under construction?

I owe my daddy a hug for sitting down with me and being a parent.  At lunch I got that some of that Your Mother And Mine song in my head.  That's what was upsetting me once again, someone just throwing something at me and treating me like I'm three or something now.   

I gave him a hug

I bought me a silly little shirt in case I want to wear it.  This thing matches the hat I bought last year. if I only knew or got close to the colors of the selves I could probably buy some socks.  I have black shorts and jester shoes. 

I gave him a hug

that's nice. I always enjoy it when someone, especially a friendly lady, gives me one. :)

all the papers I looked at of all the different types of assault and if you don't report  it ...     

At breakfast, I was just thinking of how happy I might  be going to jail for not reporting an assault that wasn't meant to harm anyone.

I always give hugs to friends and/or family members. :)

Family members, I did that a lot when I was little. Giving them to friends is a whole different feeling.


In fact, today I gave one to a lady friend of mine; her birthday is next Tuesday and she had a celebration at her place this afternoon, so I went to that. The party was lotsa fun!

feel bla whatever after hearing someone say I cant respond. Possible I might not hear something but it doesn't seem someone is considering that

Last night I enjoyed watching the Dodgers win Game 7 of the NLCS and was so excited about it that I didn't have time to come back on here when it was finished. It was a great game.
So now i'm gonna take it easy for the next couple days and concentrate on other stuff.

Today I probably won't be going out anywhere. :-\\

There is never a good reason to remain indoors all day and do nothing.  There is a whole world out there to explore.  GET off your ass and do something.

James and I went to Cambridge today to visit Elizabeth.  We also went to a small exhibition at the university library. It is a copyright deposit library for the UK and the display was on various items in their collection including several Tolkien items such a translations of The Hobbit, a section on children's book and toys and a piece on how they decide what foreign languages books to store.

Interesting, especially when Tolkien is associated more with Oxford more than Cambridge.

You got that right!

I got seeds I can plant. It will take awhile for them to grow into big plants so why wait?

Yes, there is! And tomorrow I will get out and see about taking a good walk, (weather permitting).

Anyways, today I had a good day at work... however, about 30 minutes before I left the office, there was a mini-plane crash on the freeway near where my office is; thankfully it didn't affect my drive home, but it did back up traffic for quite a ways in both directions.

Here it is, btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UWAw9efoiI

So, this morning at 10 I went to SuperCuts to get my hair cut, then spent time at home with my parents as they celebrated their 42nd anniversary. Then they went out for dinner, while I stayed home to watch Game Two of the World Series (too bad my team got beat again). I also took a walk this afternoon.

my eyes are suddenly starting to feel sore for some reason. Anyway, I got to get my tb checked, have a whats up doc appointment, and stuff so  don't think I'll be here much tomorrow.

Had a good day at work today. I reviewed, with the new person in our company, how to perform certain tasks that I usually do, so that she can do said tasks without any trouble when I'm away in just under three weeks. Also I discussed with my boss about amending my work schedule so I don't miss any days.

After being up late last night watching the Dodgers finally win Game Three of the World Series, I am well-rested; at some point today I will go to the library, as I often do on Saturdays, to volunteer.

I got bored yesterday, so I decided today was an excellent day to plant two plants from every seed I have.  I'm going to need to buy me some more cups or something to start plants in, especially if I'm going to try and get seeds for Ca native plants as well.  I live the flax if I can get a bunch of those to grow and I already had a little fold wing skipper sipping off the purple pansy.

Tonight I went to one of those haunted house Halloween attractions. I haven't gone in years. It was fun, just not worth the price, but I'd go again next year if anyone would want to. I'm bummed they didn't have a hoodie in my size at the end of it though. I also want to go to a real haunted place and do a lock in tour some day.

Today's seed is tomorrow's redwood.  Yes, they actually grow into full size trees in 1 day.  I bet no one knew that.

well today was an appoint day for me and other stuff. was overcast and windy this morning, but got back up to 76.  Tomorrow is play music at Macy's day
