endless_musingsSo glad to have had the day off I had to clock out of work 2 hours early due to being extremely ill with stomach/digestive issues. I hate that this is happening more often than not. It seems like every other week different foods cause me problems then it clears up and I have a sensitivity to something else. Is this due to getting older? Who knows but it's annoying AF. Luckily I had enough hours in my sick time/ Vacation bank to cover this and it was no problem and because of this no attendance points were deducted.
Things at work are still going rather well despite the transition that is going to happen at the start of next month so far I am still able to roll with the ever changing rules and policies and still get top marks on my evaluations each month. I really feel like most days I am on top of my game and am respected by my pears and supervisors. This was something I rarely felt at my last job unfortunately. I was made to feel stupid a lot of the time for no reason. Again is was mostly due to the major cliques this I am sure. I am glad to not have to deal with these stupid office politics anymore. I hope they are not making some of my friends that still remain there feel that way. Just because they are older does not mean they are not intelligent. People should go back to respecting their elders or at least showing kindness.
I spent the better part of the day writing a few letters to some new pen pals in one of the groups that I am in as we are having a secret letter event. Which basically means that you choose someone from the group that has posted that they would like new pals and write them a letter and if they choose to accept you then you have a new pal. It's kind of putting yourself out there but at the same time it's a good risk and a lot of fun. I also was able to mail off my letters and my friend GM's birthday present to the UK. I really hope she likes it. I selected some unique items that I hope she will really like. I will know in a week or so when she receives it what she thinks.
I was also able to go to Ollie's (a local discount store) and get another couch cover. They sell them for about $25.00 and this is a steal compared to the $50 to $80 price tag at other stores. I needed a black cover to go with my Twin Peaks inspired living room. I also purchased my throw pillows as well. I can't wait for them to come in. I also received my small Laura Palmer photo in the mail too. This I have framed and have on the mantle. I didn't want it to be a main focus but a Subtle touch. My next investment will be the red curtains and black and white chevron rug will have to wait until next month but I am okay with that as I am purchasing thing as my budget allows and making it a fun project.
PB and I had lunch at Metro Dinner today and it was quite nice except for the fact they have greatly reduced their menu. They removed the monte cristo sandwich from the menu which was kind of disappointing at that was one of my favorite things on the old menu. I am not sure of may other places here in central Florida that sell it. I did order the chicken pot pie and found it to be delightful
