Have to get ready soon; going to my niece's birthday party. Was supposed to work this morning, but they called me yesterday to tell me not to come in. It's a bummer, but oh well. Gave me some extra reading time, haha.

[☆Joycedale☆]

Have my children mad at me. School was cancelled so they want to go to the library, its 3° outside, we ain't going anywhere. You would think the 12 yr old would be the one to understand that but she's the maddest lol. Said she would walk. It's only 9 blocks but she would get hypothermia. Now she's in her room pouting. I told her there's a good chance its not even open but she doesn't seem to care.

Juggling all kinds of stuff right now. At least I'm not sitting around sulking about the job situation. Need to make some phone calls to people about bills I can't pay, need to go to the store, working vigorously to find this cat I rescued a good home, need to clean my house, take a shower, and want to get some reading done.

[Lina]

God,it's good to be able to sit and write something! Been sick for over a week and didn't do any reading also! Sorry to hear about the job Cindy! Hopefully it's better now!

[[deleted user]]

Trying to stay positive Ewelina. That's all I can do other than the footwork.

[Angie]

How's that kitten you rescued Cindy? Did you ever find a home for him, my cat was a rescue cat and I've had her 12 years now. Its 10pm here now and I'm in bed as I can't stop sneezing. So I'm going to sign of soon and get started on The Goldfinch.

[[deleted user]]

Kitty is now in foster care AND I GOT A JOB! Two good things the same day. Settling down now to read for a bit. Don't know how far I'll get tonight with the reading because I'm hyped.

[[deleted user]]

My bed is calling my name. Hope everyone has a pleasant night and great morning. It will most likely be after orientation tomorrow before I'm back online. OMG! I can hear my old college professor screaming now. NEVER use phrases such as "most likely", "nearly everyone", etc. Now I know it's time for bed.

[Kate]

Well done, Cindy. Congrats on the job and hope orientation goes well.

[Adam]

Way to go, Cindy!

[Natasa, co-moderator]

Good luck on the nrw job :)))

[[deleted user]]

Just got home not long ago. Orientation was only a couple of hours. Standard stuff. Safety video, company history/production video, quiz, and a tour of the facility. Will receive a call this afternoon sometime with my days and hours, but I've already been told it will be nights (6-4:30 a.m.). Thanks you for all the kind words!

Congrats Cindy!

[Holly]

Probably should be studying right now, or even writing, but instead am on GR. Lol; not a very productive day. :/

[GeneralTHC]

Trying to figure out what I'm going to read today. I was wanting a fresh read, not sure.

Do you have options to choose from Chuck, or are you just winging it?

[[deleted user]]

Thanks Chuck!

[☆Joycedale☆]

Congrats Cindy! I myself spent the day job hunting.

[[deleted user]]

Good luck to you Joyedale! I hope you find something soon.

[[deleted user]]

Just received a call from the temp agency with my days and hours. I will be working Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Fri from 6 p.m. - 4:30 a.m. I don't really mind. Four day workweek, off on the weekends, and traffic coming home from work should be a breeze.

[[deleted user]]

Sitting up all night in an attempt to find the right sleeping pattern for this new job. Let's just see how THAT turns out. Gonna try anyway.

[☆Joycedale☆]

Nightshift ain't so bad, you'll get used to it

[[deleted user]]

Yep, just gotta get my body used to sleeping during the day and awake at night. It won't take long.

[[deleted user]]

Taking a break to eat dinner and watch The Silence of the Lambs with Jeff. Be back later.

[Addy]

Yay! Some good news! Got a job:) I guess it is true. Third times a charm. That's why number 3 is my lucky number! Anyway, its just such a relief.

[Holly]

Very excited to be moving this time. Don't like it hear anymore. Might have to look for a different job....
If only I had more time in the day; maybe I could get something done. Grrr!!!!! :/

[Addy]

Nice. Where u moving to?

[Holly]

Still in the same town we're in, just to a different place. We don't like it where we are anymore.

[Addy]

Oh ok. Best of luck! I hate moving myself.

I'm excited for you Addy! Great news.

[[deleted user]]

Didn't get up until noon since I'm trying to acclimate my body to the new work schedule. At least the clocks go up this weekend. That should help some. I'm getting ready to settle down and read. Got six books going right now. I always say I'm not going to read more than two at at time. Ha!

[Addy]

Thanks Cindy! Im the same way. I've got like 6 books going too.

[[deleted user]]

Wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't so slow. Oh well, that's OK. At least I'm not sitting around in a mindless, thoughtless, swirl of nothingness.

[Holly]

Thanks Addy!

[[deleted user]]

Going grocery shopping now. Just finished cleaning out the fridge and freezer. Hope I can get some more reading in today.

[[deleted user]]

Wow, I've been gone all day and check for new posts in our group. NONE! :(

I babysat the grandchild today and she was a bit irritable. On antibiotics for her ear. Still, I had a good time and enjoyed seeing three of the grandkids. Didn't get any reading done today and I have church in the morning. Plan on devoting a couple of hours to reading. More if I can.

[Holly]

Watching Law & Order: Criminal Intent. My addiction when I'm not reading. Hehe lol

[[deleted user]]

Hey! What do you know. I was wrong. Angie and Brenda posted on the FREEBIES thread. Guess it was just a nice day and people were out of the house.

[Holly]

Lol Cindy

[[deleted user]]

Getting more active now. Were you playing outside today Holly? If I hadn't been babysitting, I would have.

[Holly]

I would have loved to Cindy. Unfortunately, it won't be nice enough for that until Monday. It's going to get up into the 50's.....I'm so excited!!!! Can't wait!!

I was so happy it was not cold here today. It just brightens the mood for sure.

[Holly]

Yes, it does. I'm so ready for some nice weather. It's long overdue, I think!! The snow is finally melting, too, so that makes me even more happier. :)

[[deleted user]]

The snow is melting alright. It is a sloppy mess here with the ground so wet. That's OK. I'll take the warmer weather any day of the week. It will dry out soon enough.

[Holly]

Exactly. It's a nice change to be able to see grass again, even if it is yucky brown grass. Lol

[[deleted user]]

Taking a shower then reading some out of . Can't sit up real late because of church in the morning.

BTW - The men are cooking breakfast for the women at church in the morning. Lovin that!

Nice one, Addy! :)

[Angie]

I'm in now for the next few days so I can concentrate on goodreads some Cindy. I'm loving the Goldfinch gut I'm reading a few others as well. I'm sat in bed at the moment and its 9am. I've just woke up and I think I'm getting up in a minute.

Nice one on the job Addy, its not taken you long to find one!!

[Brenda]

Watching episode 40 of Dexter with some friends on Netflix. I've already finished the series, but I'm re-watching it with them. And waiting for NASCAR to start at 2 central time. Gotta head home in just a few hours - about an hour and a half drive - then I'll probably use the treadmill - and finally get a chance to read in my reading room at home! That's enough - after all, it IS Sunday, you know!

[[deleted user]]

Time change is messing with me already. Upstairs neighbor kept everybody in the building up all night, so I missed church since I didn't get to bed until nearly 6 a.m. I guess it has its advantages too with me starting a night shift job Monday. Plan to let Jeff have the laptop for a while and I'm gonna read.
