This and That

I need to find my camera and charge the batteries. I've completed 2 quilts, 2 quilt tops and all the pieces of a two sided quilt (those 30 pieces need to be put together). I am pleased with all of them and want to post the pictures here.

I am still waiting for my hair to grow. I miss it. I keep noticing everyone else's hair. A guy at the store today had a ponytail of long blond hair. I wanted it.

Christmas in retail is hectic. I worked an average of 40 hours a week for the last couple of weeks. Work in retail is busy and demanding. Customers are lined up waiting for help. And generally they are on the cranky side. All of it must have worn me out. I had yesterday off and slept 24 hours straight. I was awake for 8 hours then slept for another 6. Thanks for all that sleep I felt pretty good today. Poor Al had a nice day of activities planned. I slept too long to do any of them.

I wore my knitted socks to work today and my feet almost baked. Those socks were way too warm.

It is Crazy in the Store

Dang, I just lost my post.

The store is crowded, the lines are unbelievably long and most customers' nerves are frayed.
The stacks of recovery (books to be put away) are huge, cups of coffee are spilled, customer requests are endless, story time readers (me) fall off the stool, my feet hurt and all in all it was a great day.

But I am glad to be home.

The boys are spending two days with there grandparents and Al and I are having a taste of the empty nest. I think we are going to like it.

I'm beat and can't think of anything interesting to say. I'll try to update tomorrow.
