As always, I had trouble falling asleep last night, but I woke up at 7:45, which meant I had time for 2 (two) cups of coffee and extra cuddling with my Emily before I had to leave for work.
My Adult Graphic Novel collection
Work is great. I’m continuing with the Adult Fiction shifting, and it makes me happy to do it. There’s something “zen”, for me, about organizing and displaying library items so that they look inviting and are easy to locate.
My shiny New Fiction section (we’re waiting for fresh signage with our new branding on it)My hair scraped back cuz I am WORKING
So…on my way home for lunch (a 9/10 of a mile drive), I nearly got into an altercation with a person who was standing in the street, talking on her phone.
I said, “Get out of the road,” and she went OFF, yelling at me.
She tried to spit on me but spit on Shelley (my frankencar) instead.
SPIT.
ON. MY. CAR.
Stay classy, Vallejo.
I threw Shelley into park and unhooked my seatbelt.
She leaned into my car door and said, “What are you gonna do about it?” so I opened Shelley’s door, pushing her away from me.
Her little friend popped up and yelled, “Why would you push her with your car door?!?” and I replied, “Because she spit on my Fucking Car!”
Then I swung my legs out and stood up.
And they all stepped back just a bit.
Thus, these little millennials (Gen Z? I dunno, they all look 12 to me now) decided to start sauntering back toward the sidewalk, talking smack the whole way.
I said, “Stop standing in the road,” and the original road-blocker yelled at me, “You’re Still Talking Shit!”
So I used my Bartender voice, and said, “AND YOU’RE STILL IN THE ROAD!”
Then I drove home for lunch and kitty affection.
My Mom raised a lady, but I’m from Fresno, chica. I’ll pull some Chola action outa my back pocket and beat you down with it.
Anywho…I went back to work after lunch and all was well in my world.
The sticker my roomate gave me. Gonna put it on my coffee mug.
I’m home, with my Emily on my lap, thinking about what to make for dinner…
…made 3-cheese tortellini with pesto. 😋 🥣
Tomorrow is another day, where I hope to make better choices.
…if you know that reference, you’re at least GenX, if not older.
I came home to my BabyGirlKid after a wonderfully comfortable 3-day weekend.
I received this little doorknocker in the mail today. I’ll hang it indoors tho…
Heehee!
Also, when I went to Raley’s to pick up some coffee, I happened upon this, and I HAD to have her:
She’s a cat! With a book AND a cup of coffee!
She, and my new, tiny succulent (doesn’t it look like green kitty toe-beans!?!) will move out to the back patio with the other plants I’ve kept alive.
I drove home tonight to spend the week with Emily (and to work my weekly 40hrs) and when I arrived at my apartment, I saw the full moon watching over me…
Super Pink Full Moon
Which is weird, cuz I think THIS is a Super Pinky:
Today was a good day at work. I call it a good day when there are no incident reports. I did have to ask a guy to leave (watching videos on his phone even after I informed him that he needed to use earbuds/headphones), but he left without a problem.
I was checking out Google earth on the new phone, and peeped on my own place. This is my front door. I live upstairs.
That’s my Merry up in the top, left window. And I put that sign up.
It’s been super breezy all day, and now it’s cold & windy enough to keep knocking out my wifi. It comes back on, but the interruptions are annoying.
Was clearing out old files (new phone, ya) and found this video, looking out my kitchen window while it rained, in March 2020…before CA shut down.
After a trip to the AT&T store, and a new sim card, my new hotness is working beautifully.
The next time I get a new phone, I will go directly to a store and have them set it all up. I did that at Best Buy when I bought my last 2 phones, and they just switched everything for me.
I can do/learn to do most anything. I also know when I need to ask for assistance.
La Picosita. Best Taco Truck in Lodi
We went for tacos last night. Tacos Supreme Al Pastor. 🌮
Today, after we watched the closing arguments of the Derek Chauvin trial, we went to visit Matt’s friend, Robert’s place.
Robert has an unnamed little kitty who has been the “truck tire” cat, as she sits on the truck tire of the truck that is usually parked in the garage.
She needs a name.She truly is sweet…She’s waiting for her truck to come back.
Facebook memories reminded me that 2 years ago today, I said goodbye to my Hobbitses: Merry & Pippin.
My Bois
I find that I don’t feel sad, thinking about my babies, because we spent 12 stellar years together.
I loved them and they loved me and we had a dozen years of love.
Woke up a bit late this morning but still had time for that 1st cup of coffee with my girl. You all know Emily.
My sleepy head.
Work was good. Stayed busy and generally cheerful the whole day, so yay!
Found out that my pedi spot (Signature Nails in Vallejo) is open with limited folks inside. Couldn’t wait any longer, so I made an appointment, picked up a small frappuccino (because pedi + coffee = happiness), and now I am comfortably ensconced on a massage-y chair, while my feet are pampered. 👑
Looks messy, but feels SO GOOD!
I spring for the #3 pedi, which includes: scrub, mask, hot stone massage, paraffin foot soak, hot towel wrap, and RAPTURE!
I came home to my sweet girl, and I am now relaxing…admiring my pretty toes:
They feel like buttah…
I’m going to sleep early tonight, as I need to be at work by 8am.
After work tomorrow, I’ll head east toward my heart:
I woke up early enough to have a 2nd cup of coffee and extra snuggles with My Emily.
She’s SO FLUFFY!!!
A retired former coworker brought these in to us from her garden:
GLORY!❤The COLORS, tho!
Today is looking like a pretty good day here at JFK, even though one of my favorite coworkers is leaving us after Saturday and it’s rather jarring to watch him pack up/clean his desk. 😥
He is promoting to full time at another location, so I can’t harsh his gig, but I hope he can come back to JFK when a full time spot opens up. 🤓🥳
Tonight I’m going to collect up a few items and supplies to take back to my new Art Space at Matt’s…
I mean, you KNOW there will be beautiful tapestries and twinkly lights in there! 🤩🤪
I purchased a string of lights much like this, and three (3) were delivered. MWAH-HAH-HAH!My forest tapestry is quite like this…
I do believe I’ve got some Aries moon energy going on.
