Still no garden planted... low of 34 tomorrow night!! WTF!!! SR has planted quite a few things already, I'm just a little reluctant because I don't have the covers to put over things, and I'm afraid I would forget anyway, or run out of time. So I'll keep waiting. It isn't anything that can't be planted later, anyway.
The ordering system is a HUGE relief!! They have 91 orders this weekend, and don't need my help on Friday! THAT is impressive! Now they are able to send the list to the meat vendors and THEY pack it up and put the person's name on it. And they give us a list with all the weights filled out so that all we have to do is enter it in the system! It's FABULOUS! SR did ask me to work on Saturday, and he's giving me a delivery run, which is kind of nice since that means I might make some tips. We'll see anyway. I'm not going to know what to do with myself if I don't have to go over there on Friday, too. I might be able to clean the house... who would have thought?!
Still chugging away at things. Money is still crazy tight, or at least it is if we want to hang onto it and don't want to go into debt. Still working on coming up with more ways to make the dollar stretch and still do some things that are enjoyable.
I did splurge and order some hair dye today. So backstory - I used deva curl products for over a year, and it RUINED my hair. Like for real, there's a class action law suit being filed against them right now. My hair was very dry, and not curly at all, and I was getting headaches if I pulled my hair up in a pony tail, and my hair is HALF as thick as it was before I started using it. SO, now I'm trying to figure out how to recover it, and it needs to be chopped off. AND I'm not in the office... so the boss really can't say anything about whatever I do with my hair (not that he would in the first place... but still...)... SO TM at the barn has cut my hair in the past, and dyed it before (henna... in '13! I can't believe it's been that long!), and since I already see her now, I felt comfortable enough to ask her if she'd do it. We'll wear masks and all that fun stuff to do it, and I'm thinking maybe do what we can outside if the weather is nice (and I'm not sneezing my fool head off). I want it long enough to pull up into a pony tail, but not a whole lot longer. SO we'll see how that goes...
I also called the deva curl number for a return, and they're sending me a return kit. It'll take 2-4 weeks to get here... but it has everything in it that I need to return what I have, I just have to find a box for it all. Once they get it back (another week of shipping??) then it'll take 8-12 weeks to issue me a check. The good news is they are basing it off of the price on their website, which is more than I paid for the stuff. So assuming there is no problem, then I should be getting somewhere between $80 and $100 back. So in 3 months I'll have a nice check coming!
The weather is sort of beautiful here... we've had a lot of rain, but then some sun, and some wind, and it's been cooler after it was almost warm.
Hard to tell what's happening. I want to spend time outside, but I don't want to be sneezing. So I'm staying in, and just have the door open but no windows open. At least it's pretty to look at out the window. I do need to get more bird seed and refill the feeders, because they're empty again. Hungry little buggars. I want to do better at keeping up with the feeders, I'm not always that good at it.
Nothing much else to report. I guess no real news is good news.
good luck!
The basement is covered in cat litter and sawdust from the BF's projects that has gotten blown everywhere. Not real thrilled about that, but he's happy tinkering away.
