I know. You missed me. Sorry for the long break. Let's catch up.
My mother-in-law came to visit the first week of October. It was a short trip. We went out to eat a few times and went shopping. I ALMOST got a dog. He was cute and priced perfectly, but he was way high strung. I'm looking for a more mellow dog, and I prefer female. So after a lot of debating, I turned him down.
On Saturday the 22nd, I went to run some errands after Steve went to work. I couldn't find my car. He had left it in the red zone over night after unloading groceries. It cost $210 to get it back. I was so angry and annoyed and stressed.
Then last weekend we looked at more dogs and I found the most beautiful puppy! She's a pit bull mix, and she is gorgeous! She snuggled right into my neck when I held her. But because of the car being towed, we can't afford her. I'm hoping she'll be there next week when we get paid, but she was so precious, I'm sure she's already been snatched up.
We both dressed up for Halloween for work. Maybe I'll post pictures later. Steve was death. I was a witch. Simple. Neither of us have dressed up for a long time so it was fun.
Other than that, just working a lot. Our holiday sets are all going up this week and I've been stressed about it. I haven't been able to get new stuff shelved because I've been having to finish projects. I have a new partner, and I wish I could have opened this week instead of her. It would have been easier for her to learn the department by shelving rather than having to do a million projects. They're taking her longer to do than me or Toni, but only because she doesn't know where everything is just yet. Instead of shelving, I've been finishing those up and doing the ones I know she won't get to, or doing the complicated ones.
Our customer service has been moved to the front. It's making it a lot harder for people to keep an eye on would-be thieves, as well as for anyone working my kids area (me included) to keep an eye on customer service and jump in to help. So some of my coworkers are stressing too. It has not been a fun week.
