Paid Days Off...

So today is a paid day off for me because of they July 4th holiday. Don't get me wrong, its lovely, but when its just me at home I tend to get very bored and start making desserts. The downfall is they go to waste as Kol and I have a hard time finishing them. The nice part is I've been able to get the house cleaned & laundry done. So I only have a batch of cookies made. Still debating about making a cake with raspberries...and I know it will be eaten eventually as we'll at least have our folks up tomorrow helping with one of my notorious projects!!

But back to my original thought, paid days off are lovely...you don't have to use sick or vacation pay to make up the hours; but it is so much better to be able to spend the day with people you care about. Mind you I'm sure some people would much rather have time alone, but I tend to get ancy and eventually come up with more projects to do that require Kol's help with...sorry Kol!

I did it!

So I finally went through the process of informing my old boss that I couldn't leave Layne & work for him. I know it probably would have paid better and possibly have been busier, but I just wasn't feeling good about it.

I was a chicken though and ended up emailing him. So I still feel bad, but better that the horrible icky decision has been made and definately no turning back. I still feel bad for letting old-bossman down and hope that he understands.

Oh well, no looking back now! Onward to new adventures that await in Sandy/Draper area!!

Projects

I am one that needs projects to do. Thanks Da as I've gotten that from you!!

Unfortunately I can't decide which project to do out of my listing. As it is summer I think it should be an outdoor project, but yet it is hot & maybe if I replace some curtains inside it might help keep things cooler, let alone put curtains up!

So my conundrum is which to do...I think I make a decision then the next day I change it!! Frustrating for Kol because I keep changing. But I've come up with a basic deck design for the backyard, a rough measurement for a wee fence in the front, ideas for curtains in the front room, a call into a plumber for help with our basement bathroom, and calls into the city for rules & regs in regards to our larger pond in the front.

Depending on if we do the pond, then the wee fence will be done first. But the city if may say we need a high gated fence based on the depth & gallons in the pond...sadly when I called the main boss who knows the rules was at lunch. So, I get to call in a couple of hours again.

So...anyone know a good plumber??

Urgh

I've become very agitated as of late. In regards to work I've finally made a decision and am sticking to it, as it is better for Kol & I. Sadly my old boss is finally calling to offer me a position with his company. If he would have called 2 weeks ago I would have jumped, but now I have to decide how and when I'll tell him I can't come anymore.

The part I hate is disappointing people. I know that this will be a great disappointment to the guy and I feel bad, but its kinda like he waited too long. Currently I'm avoiding his phone calls until I get the courage to tell him the sad news. If you can't tell I'm not good with confrontations...especially disappointing/sad ones.

Requiem to Hair

We shall not forget you!
Nights blissfully spent warmly wrapped within thy locks.
Wispily flying with each breadth of wind
Tormenting those who have angered us
with direct hits to their heads.

But do not fret, we will meet again
in a few months or years…
Until then, bless you and your new home.
Love Locks of Love as we loved you,
Warm the new heads that you will befriend.
Oh ode to thee hair; whom we will miss!!

Yes I did chop my hair...it used to be near my bum, now it barely hits my shoulders...if it does at all.

But hey! Change is good right? And hopefully somebody can benefit from the chunk of hair I no longer use.
