I haven't posted is several days. I've been really busy.
If I repeat myself, I'm sorry.
Joan called the other day to say that David needed his truck, so I had to go get my share of the laminate floor covering. There's a LOT of it. She showed me around David's tractor garage, and I loved it!
He has some of the neatest junk. I just love junk.
He was pleased to see me ogle his things, and he was surprised at all I knew about his gadgets and tools.
Joan's kitchen is too dark for me, but it's her choice.
I then went to the Family Dollar to put out stock with Steven. Steve had not left yet, so he had to come up and tell me goodby at the store. The girls there had not met him, and he 'combed' them.
They loved it.
About 4:00 (this is Friday) I quit putting out stock, and started cleaning the floors under the gondola racks. There was so much sticky dirt under there, and it made the store look nasty.
When I quit putting out stock, Steven quit, too. He just hung around the cash register cubicle the rest of the evening, until quitting time. He and Elaine were the only ones there who were employees. Adrian Cameron came in and we visited for a while in one of the asiles during a quite time. He told me the truth about Rhonda Reagan's behavior when she had left office as the County Court Clerk.
She had locked the office doors, taped brown paper over the windows, and shredded documents for two weeks. It's hard telling what all records and papers she destroyed. She fired all the employees who had worked under her, and Sherry Clifton, the new office holder, had to start from scratch when she entered office. I would have never thought that she would behave in such a way.
Renae came in to get some nails and screws to put up some curtain rods she bought, and we chatted a while. She needed some lamps for her living room, and I offered to give her a set. I found out later that they are now gone, and I had to substitute another one that I had.
I took them to the Goodwill Saturday morning.
Friday night, I slept fairly well, but woke up about 3:00 and couldn't go back to sleep for quite a while. Then I slept late Saturday morning. I got up and out of the house fairly quickly, and took Renae her things. She's wanting a coffee table and some end tables I'm giving her, and I'll have to get them loaded and up to the Goodwill for her.
I went by the Goodwill to drop off Renae's things Saturday morning, and then went to the Family Dollar to try to help out some.
It was like a bee hive. It's check time, and everyone in the county seemed to be trying to buy out all the stores. We were really busy, and so many boxes and bottles wound up on the floor. I kept picking up things all day, until finally the crowds died down around 2:00-3:00. We hadn't even had time for lunch.
After lunch, I started cleaning the floors under the racks, and that's a time-consuming chore.
I started in the far rear end of the store, on the left. I'm going to work my way all the way to the front, but it's going to take quite some time to get it all done. It amazed me at all the things I pulled out from under those counters. I had to change my water bucket several times throughout the day.
Beth kept herself busy cleaning up all the leaves that blew in the door every time someone else came in. I'd guess we picked up several bushels of them throughout the day.
The wind was really strong, and it was COLD!
I left at 8:45, and came home and worked getting a little done here before a bath and bed. I was exhausted, but woke again in the middle of the night. I painted some craft things, and then got sleepy and went back to bed. I feel like I've got a bit of a cold, so I'm sluggish today.
