Random things

It's been a while since I've done random thoughts or things.

Summer is over. Too bad I spent most of it on the road to and from Soldotna.

As a rule, I don't pay attention to the news. I will go to a couple websites to glance at the headlines, but that's about it. So, much to my dismay I was very disappointed with the Emmy's turned into something less than entertainment. I want entertainers to entertain.

In a few minutes we'll know the answer to the yearly question that Alaskans ask. How much? We already know when. All we need now is the how much. Yes, it's PFD time again.

I miss my grandkids.

The magical number is one six five four. Yay. It's great to be an Alaskan.

Oh me. Oh my.

So sorry for not blogging on even a semi regular basis.

What can I say? This thing called work is really screwing up my free time.

Dare I admit this? Okay, I will. I do enjoy my new job for the most part. It's fun to see so many people that I haven't seen in years. Standing in one spot for so long is getting easier, but by the end of my shift, my feet are screaming. Tonight I was able to go around the store a little so it was a welcomed relief.

I still have a problem with the very small paychecks. I'll adjust, but it's so shocking when I consider what I used to make. Let's face it, two years ago, I had more withheld in taxes in one paycheck than I make in one month now.

Because my hands are always holding items or paper of some type, the tips of my fingers are extremely dry.

I can't have that. On Sunday I played around with a whipped body butter. It's so nice. If you want to read about that and the deodorant, go to the company blog for more information.

We are back to an empty nest again. Our youngest boarded a plane last Friday and is now in Australia.

Until next time...
