Skipped

Yesterday I skipped a day of writing my blog. I was just too busy. My grandson slept over and I decided that even a moment away from spending time with him would be a moment of the weekend that I wasted. It was too hot to go outside and except for a quick drive to the craft store, we stayed in. I taught him how to sew, which is a skill that everyone needs to know. We made dolls, he made a mosaic picture frame, he painted and we talked, and talked and talked. There was not one moment for television. In our downtime, he read to me. He said it was the best weekend ever. I felt the same way.

Grandma Weekend

Twice a year I have a grandma weekend. My grandson comes for a sleepover. This weekend he will arrive at 9am and the fun will begin. He will stay until tomorrow after dinner. It is a heatwave and because of the pandemic, I will not be taking him to the pool. I have planned a weekend of arts and crafts activities in the "workshop". That is what his favorite thing to do is. In fact, all of my grandchildren love arts and crafts. We will paint, sew and create a lot of projects and memories. I can't wait.

Many Happy Returns

I was never a person that returned items. If they were inexpensive, I just chalked it up to a bad purchase. If I bought something that cost a lot, I always made 100% sure that I wanted it, because I knew that I would not want to put the effort in to taking it back. Now Amazon has made it easy. If I do not want something, I go to the UPS store and hand it to them with a scan photo. Voila! It is credited to my account. No packing it. No postage. Easy peasy.

A High Note

It is always better to leave on a high note. My boss finally decided to let the night girls go. She made the calls herself as I felt it was her place. The three girls were the best we ever had and were a wonderful team. It is sad that they will no longer be there. Each one left on a high note. I would write glowing letters of recommendation for any of them if I was asked to. I wish them all well. Whomever they work for in the future will be lucky.

New Normal

Anyone can get used to anything if they have to. I see that with the new life style. Yesterday my boss said that she thinks we will not open our business doors until March 2021. People have gotten used to at home therapy. Insurance companies have gotten used to paying for more frequent at home services. More money is coming in than previously. Why change it? The new system is becoming more beneficial than the old one.

Sure Thing

If you have a sure thing, why change it? If something is working well, why not just continue on? I saw that the hosts of Dancing With the Stars have both lost their jobs. I wonder who made that decision. People are used to them and they are ingrained in the television experience. Seeing new people will upset loyal fans. It is like when Bewitched switched Darren's. The new Darren always felt wrong.

Hard Copy

Although I like to see things online. I prefer a hard copy over a digital one. I like to know that if I need information, I can take out a book and thumb through the pages for an answer. I do not want to have to go on the computer and put in user names and passwords and scroll up and down. I am still old fashioned when it comes to certain things.
