Saturday

Today was a productive day - did not work last night after all (also did not sleep well) and hubby apparently wasnt scheduled for his volunteer work as he thought. So we got a lot of errands done altho I totally forgot about going to the Quilt Show I wanted to go to today.

Went to several garage sales and got lots of things for the trailer - from measuring cups, to a plastic bowl, to a complete set of knives (brand new in their butcher block for $3!!!!!!!), corkscrew etc. Then we also hit up Walmart and did some pricing on things we will need.

And then we picked up the trailer and put her out in storage. It took a while to get her into her spot - not because hubby had trouble backing up, but because she would not straighten out! I think it was the gravel that kept her from moving easily - but the manager told us to make sure we park her between the two posts and that we did!

I HATE SPRING!
Have been sneezing and snuffling and scratching my eyes all day. Dratted wind. And you can just see all the crap blowing around. Tomorrow is youngest grandson's first Communion and daughter decided to switch the party afterwards from her house to Heather Farms so it will be another miserable day.....praying the wind dies down.

What to Do What to Do

So a day shift job will be coming up and hubby thinks I should put in for it.....but I think the cons very much outweight the pros:

PROS:
1. It is dayshift
2. The demolition and building at the old school behind out house
3. get away from some of the night shift people
4. the shifts might go by more quickly

CONS:
1. no shift differential therefore less money
2. Go from highest seniority on nightshift to almost lowest on dayshift
3. way busier
4. bosses and bosses and bosses
5. the day shift people
6. the dogs would spend more time outside by themselves
7. more call and cancellations


On a lighter note - we picked up our trailer today!
Isnt she beautiful????? I still cannot get over how beautiful she is inside and HOW HUGE the bathroom is (major selling point for me and most of the women according to the sales people). No inside photos yet but this is the link for the schematics:  https://www.granddesignrv.com/showroom/2018/travel-trailer/imagine/floorplans/2150rb

Easter was lovely - and less tiring than Christmas for some reason!
Trying to round them all up for a photo is worse than herding cats! And then of course is my son on the sidelines telling them to all make various different faces! Trouble maker

Aging

 Why is so much about aging kept a secret? Or is it that we just dont pay attention when we are younger? I mean we all know about the wrinkl...
