Hi, Tracy, sunny delightfully warm 80-ish Wednesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I'm glad you and Anne were able to talk last night about your job prospects. It never hurts to check out prospective opportunities even though you may already have a job at the time. Please let us know how things go.

Scarlet is now back in her home with her mom and dad and the familiar sights, sounds, and smells she much prefers to being here. Even as my brother and sister in law were getting Scarlet in their car precious Buster was already eagerly making his way inside the condo and hasn't wanted me far from his sight since he arrived. He is such a precious sweet little boy. I have done most of the clean up and put away her toys, but will wait to run the vacuum cleaner until after Buster leaves later on. Tomorrow I have my infusion appointment so don't know if I'll feel up to being online tomorrow. Just wanted to let you know so that you wouldn't be concerned.

As always, Tracy, it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the chilly evening temperatures as they warm for spring and summer. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Peace and blessings,

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and warm (81) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. I hope Scarlet enjoyed her stay with you and am glad to hear Buster wasted no time coming to visit. I hope he and Bonnie are both dong OK. I hope all goes well tomorrow with your medical appointment too.

Well, we talked some more a little while ago. Anne realizes now something she hadn't thought about: the distance to Teleperformance and the wear and tear on her car after having to get financing to get the repairs. So we are not doing that, but will keep our eyes open for call center jobs that are more tech and less straight CS/billing. No health care for sure (especially Medicare which Teleperformance would have been) In the mean time, she looked and saw that her pay is about the same as mine (well, .35 less) for not doing deli. So that's good.

We went to the zoo today, but the puma and lynx were not out and the leopards were a tad lethargic. But it was still a fun time and no money spent since I already renewed the passes and it's not far from where we live.

Tang seems to be doing OK. He's had his dinner and shot and will get his treats later. I'm waiting for this pop up storm to move out of here before provisioning the local waifs though.

I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a most comfortable evening in the company of your beloved fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny delightfully warm breezy 80-ish Thursday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I'm so glad to share your news that you and Anne have come to an agreement about not pursuing the call center position. I hope you're able to narrow the field of interest in future call center type positions that better meet YOUR desires rather than having to take whatever is available. In the meantime, I hope you and Anne will be pleasantly surprised with your jobs at Meijers so that you can relax and not feel pressured to find another job quickly. Please let us know how things go.

The infusion went well today. Got back to the condo around 1:15 p.m.. Buster is here with me taking a nap on my bed as I'm writing to you. Haven't seen beautiful Bonnie yet today but she may be inside at her home taking a lazy afternoon nap. Am looking forward to a lazy afternoon and evening, too.

Thank you so much for sharing with us that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the warming evening temperatures as they continue to transition into spring and summer. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and warm (75) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. Glad to hear your procedure went OK and that Buster was there for a visit when you got home. I hope he and Bonnie are both doing OK.

Second day of orientation was a couple more videos then some CBT training modules. We stayed until 6:00 as we were told we could to do that. We can finish the rest over the next 2 days at no more than 4 hours each day at what ever times we like. Then Sunday will be a full day of cashier training.

Came home to Tang patiently waiting on us. He's had his supper and I will give him his shot and treats in a little while. He seems to be doing well.

I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a most comfortable evening in the company of your beloved fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny breezy delightful 80-ish T G I F greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I hope yesterday was decent for Anne in her training. So will you be working the checkout lines? I admire the both of you in your efforts to transition into a entirely different work environment. I hope this change will be a positive one for you and Anne. Do you have your work schedule yet? Look forward to sharing your news as to how things go.

I was able to resume my walking this morning. Round trip was 1.670 miles. I got up the incline where the Baptist church is but didn't feel like attempting the downside, so I crossed the street and did a loop around the church's parking lot which has an exit on the level end of the road. I crossed the street at this point for my return back to the condo. Took me 70 minutes to make the entire round trip. Shortly after I got back Buster came to visit and is taking his nap on my bed as I'm writing to you. Worked on some emails. The library homebound volunteer came to pick up the books I finished and brought me 3 more books. I really like this arrangement with the library.

Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the warming evening temperatures as they continue to transition into spring and summer. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and warm (73) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. I'm glad you were able to complete your walk without too much difficulty and that Buster was there to greet you upon your return. I hope he and Bonnie are both doing OK.

The the training was OK yesterday. We got to about 3.5 hours today on the self modules and realized it was about the 1/2 way mark to complete the CBTs, so we will do the rest tomorrow before having a full day of guided training Sunday. I assume we will start on the regular lanes progressing to self check monitor and finally CS counter. The store director hinted at pathing me to service coordinator in the initial interview. We'll see. I'd love the cash office gig he mentioned during the interview at some point. I did that at Marshall's in the 80s and loved it.

Tang met us at the door when we got home and seems to be doing well. He's had his supper and shot and I will give him his treats later on as well as provisioning the local waifs.

I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening watched over by your precious fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy sometimes sunny humid 70-ish Caturday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I am keeping you and Anne in my thoughts and prayers that this job will be one of opportunity toward advancement for the both of you. Please let us know how things go.

This morning I was able to change the furnace filter using my nifty safety ladder, as the air vent is in the ceiling. I also set up a table fan on top of the refrigerator to use while I'm cooking to help keep the kitchen cooler. Precious Buster has come for a visit. He's taking a nap on the cushion in the chair at the big computer desk as I'm writing to you. Will be tuning into the Derby soon. The actual Derby race is getting later each year which is becoming annoying.

As always, Tracy, it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the warming evening temperatures as they continue to transition into spring and summer. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Rainy and cooler (61) Caturday greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. Glad to hear your ladder came in handy for changing the filter. I'm also glad Buster paid you a visit and hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.

Well, looks like this job isn't going to work after all (sigh) In the course of going over our CBTs today, we were able to see our schedules for next week. I have 28.5 hours and Anne has 29.5 dry.gif Anne's theory (from having worked at Kroger in the 90s) is they do that to keep you from qualifying for FT and joining the union. That and the PT premiums for the basic health plan is 132.00 per week blink.gif Can't afford that. I give Anne credit for finding good jobs online though. So I guess that's where we are again. At least the income will be more than we'd have gotten for UE and her's was denied anyway.

Tang is doing well though. He's had his supper and will get his shots and treats later. Currently he's sitting in the living room window enjoying the cool air. After that I'll put the food for the local waifs.

I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening in the company of your beloved fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy sometimes rainy coolish damp 70-ish Sunday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I'm so sorry the hours at Meijers aren't going to be satisfactory. It's a good thing you found out now rather later. You mention that Anne has found some good jobs to apply for. I hope at least one of them proves to be a good fit for the both of you. Please let us know how things go.

Not much happening here at the condo complex today. Buster came by to say hello but he didn't stay long. I think with the weather being rainy today he's deciding it would be a good idea to be home with his family. That's okay - - at least I got a chance to see him. Haven't seen Bonnie yet today but she may be staying inside out of the rain.

Thank you so much for sharing with us that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the warming evening temperatures as they continue to transition into spring and summer.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm (72) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. I'm glad Buster at least paid you a brief visit today and I hope he and Bonnie are both doing OK.

So cashier training was OK I guess. The trainer read from the manual in the training room for a good portion of the day in the training room. Then we went and picked out some items for "practice". This consisted of putting real lanes into training mode and 2 groups of 3 taking turns. Then they actually just through us onto real lanes to ring up real customers. Not as scary as I thought, but give it time I guess dry.gif Next week we have even fewer hours. The trainer said it's easy to pick up more hours but you have to sign up. Right now about the only the thing the same for our schedules is the days worked and next week even that's not entirely true. So we are diligently looking for other work on the weekdays we have off.

Tang met us at the door when we got home as usual. He seems to be doing OK and has had his dinner and shot. I'll give him his treats later as well as provisioning the local waifs.

I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny delightfully pleasant 70-ish Monday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I hope your and Anne's work at Meijers will be okay until you're able to find other more suitable and financially sustainable employment. I'm really sorry that the hours are not sufficient for you and Anne. Please let us know how things go.

My car is now at the service shop and I have a Chevrolet Equinox for a loaner. It's a nice car. It has a keyless ignition similar to the keyless ignition on a car my father had when I was a teenager - - I think it was the Studebaker station wagon. That was the nicest car we had. Tomorrow my friend who used to be my volunteer is coming for a visit and we'll be planting some flowers in a couple of planters I have. Precious Buster came by this morning for a brief visit - - he left shortly before I needed to leave to take my car in for service, and then he returned shortly after I got back with the rental car. He's taking a nap on my bed as I'm writing to you.

Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the warming evening temperatures as they continue to transition into spring and summer.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm (78) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. Glad to hear you are enjoying the loaner while your car is in the shop and hope you have a nice visit with your friend and former volunteer. I'm happy to hear Buster paid you a visit and hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.

Today we applied online to 2 jobs that Anne found and 1 that I did. Mine I almost missed from an indeed.com email suggestion. Heartland/Global payment systems is hiring again for jobs similar to what we did at Vantiv before that call center shut down in 2017. We both got emails to fill out a screening for further consideration which is hopeful I guess.

Tang seems to be doing well and has had his supper. I'm about to give him his shot and later on his treats. Then it will be about time to provision the local waifs. All 3 of my regulars (Dulcinea, Tweak and Butters) made multiple appearances last night. They even stop running and look at me now when I tell them it's OK, just another round of food.

I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny sometimes cloudy very pleasant 70-ish Tuesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I am keeping you and Anne in my thoughts and prayers that your job search will lead to a more suitable and financially sustainable job. Please let us know how things go. I'm so smiling at your local waifs becoming accustomed to your gentle voice when you reassure them about giving them more food. And I know your precious Tang feels very blessed to have you and Anne for his Forever Guardians.

My friend needed to come earlier today than originally expected but it all worked out okay. She brought some lovely plants for the flowers so now I have some beautiful flowers to care for during the summer. Buster came by twice while she was here. During the second visit he settled down on my bed and took a nice nap - - until the yard crew arrived with their noisy mowers and blowers and scared the heck out of him. He left to find a quieter place to resume his sweet dreams. Bonnie came by for a very brief visit - - she's a sweetheart. I also was able to get my car back today - - much to my surprise. It apparently passed inspection and no extraordinary oil leaks were detected. So we'll see how it does over this next year.

As always, Tracy, it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep Tux Jr, Little Tux, White Cat, Bobtail, Little Gray, Little Bit, Tweak, Princess, Dulcinea, Butters, Fluffy, Ferdinand, and all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the chilly evening temperatures as they warm for spring and summer. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm (79) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. Glad to hear you got your car back and that your friend brought some nice plants for your flowers. Good to hear both Buster and Bonnie came for visits and I hope they are both doing OK.

We applied for more jobs online today which took the better part of the morning. After that we decided to get the sub of the day from Subway along with some water and snack size chips from our work lunch cache and took Tang to McNeely lake park again. He didn't want any of he chicken we offered, but seemed comfortable on the towel on the ground we put down for him. After eating we took him exploring. They cut down his favorite tree though sad.gif But otherwise he seemed to enjoy himself.

He's having his supper now and I will give him his shot and treats after a while as well as provision the local waifs.

I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening in the company of your beloved fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy sometimes sunny humid 70-ish Wednesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

Sounds like you, your precious boy, and Anne had a very nice family day yesterday visiting the park. How sad Tang's favorite tree was cut down. Still I'm very glad to share your news that he enjoyed himself. I'm keeping you and Anne in my thoughts and prayers that your job search efforts will be fruitful. Please let us know how things go.

I have my eye exam in about an hour so thought I would post now as I know I probably won't feel comfortable looking at a computer screen for the rest of the day after the exam. Buster came by for a brief visit this morning. Haven't seen beautiful Bonnie yet today but she's probably in a comfortable spot enjoying the comfortable breezes and occasional sunbeams.

Thank you so much for sharing with us that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the warming evening temperatures as they continue to transition into spring and summer. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and very warm (86) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. I hope your eye exam went OK. Glad to hear Buster paid you a visit and hope he and Bonnie are both doing OK.

This morning we took an assessment for one of the jobs we applied for yesterday. It was supposed to pop up in another window at the time of the application, but neither of us could get that to work. It showed up in our emails this morning. So were able to complete that application. I hope we get a bite soon because between Meijer shorting our pay this week (didn't get the manual entries in on time) and our messed up schedules, it needs to come soon.

After that I packed a lunch and we went to the zoo (since it's paid for and the next best thing to "free" right now) All the big cats were out but not all that active. Except for the Siberian tiger, be's always pacing. It was the same with most of the other animals; must have been nap time.

Tang seems to be doing well (even briefly got on my chest a while ago) I'm about to give him his supper and shot and then later his treats as well as provisions for the local waifs.

I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a most comfortable evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy breezy humid 70-ish Thursday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

Am glad you and Anne were able to submit your applications online and hope you will be able to find more suitable and financially sustainable employment soon. Please let us know how things go. Am also glad you and Anne had an enjoyable time yesterday at the zoo - - I presume your precious Tang didn't accompany you this time (would he need an entry pass too?)

I got a good report yesterday with my eye exam including not having to change my prescription lenses. He told me that both the rheumatoid arthritis and the meds I'm on will dry out my tears so he gave me some eye drops to try and if they work okay for me then I can purchase them over the counter. Also the cataracts have not shown any sign of "maturing" so no surgery is needed in the near future. But I will need to have annual eye exams now, and that's okay.

Today has been busy with errands. I went to Peebles here in Town - - which is an apparel type store - - and was able to find a nice pair of walking sneakers. They are sooo comfortable and I think will do better for my walks than my regular shoes. I spent over an hour in the store searching the sneaker aisles and trying on various types. The ones I purchased were the last pair I tried on. So now I know what size to order online as I want to get a second pair eventually. After I got back and checked my email there was a notice letting me know my WalMart order was ready for pick up so I went over to pick it up. So now I'm home for the rest of the day. Got a call from Abigail's mom yesterday evening letting me know that their overnight trip isn't until next Thursday, 5/16, so that is very helpful as this week has been busy activity-wise and I am feeling a bit on the weary side. Haven't seen Buster or Bonnie yet today but hope to see them at some point out and about later today.

Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the warming evening temperatures as they continue to transition into spring and summer. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and warm (70) greetings to you I hope this finds you doing well. Glad to hear your eye exam went well and you found some good shoes for walking. I hope Buster and Bonnie are doing OK.

Going to have to be brief tonight and maybe the next couple nights. We're exhausted from the first full day and we have 2 more to go. The 4 to 5 hours shifts will be welcome. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Within minutes of applying to jobs online this morning we were both almost immediately emailed and called. We have interviews next Wednesday.

Tang is well and I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening in the company of your beloved fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy sometimes rainy infrequently sunny humid 70-ish T G I F greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I'm so glad you and Anne have received a positive response to at least one of your applications. Am keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers that all will go well with your interviews next Wednesday. Please let us know how things go.

Was able to take a walk this morning and got down to the Catholic Church - - a new distance goal. The new shoes felt better walking, and have been wearing them all day long. When I got back sweet Buster had come in as I had left the garage side entry door open in case he was out and about and wanted to come visit. That was a special treat to find him waiting for me when I got back. He got up onto the seat cushion in the chair at the big computer desk and took a very long nap. He left about 15 minutes ago to go home. After I got back I worked a little bit on financials and started reading a new book from the library.

As always, Tracy, it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the warming evening temperatures as they continue to transition into spring and summer.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and cool (58) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. I'm glad the shoes worked out for you and that Buster was waiting for you when you got back. I hope he and Bonnie are both doing OK.

So, now Computershare wants us to to do an assessment and Anne's all a twitter about that. (i.e $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) I looked into them. They're an Aussie stock selling/trading company with a fairly narrow list of clients. The fact they're willing to give us a chance with no experience is a huge red flag in my book. But I don't get a say given my track record. So either we'll get it and I'll stress to the point of a bleeding ulcer, or we'll mess around putting off Remx and get neither.

Tang, however, is doing well. He's had his supper, shot and treats and is chilling in the living room. I don't know who got the first round of waif wet food, But Dulcie got the second happy.gif

I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, rainy damp 70-ish Caturday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I must confess just from my own experience job hunting during my employment years it seemed then to be a crap shoot about job selection. And I NEVER - - honestly and truthfully - - had more than one prospective employer consider me when I was looking for another job. So I usually ended up having to accept the only prospective employer who offered me a job. And once I got into my 50's job opportunities were never extended to me - - and I never received any acknowledgement from the HR department about even having received my application. So I'm very happy you and Anne receive responses to your job queries. Pursuing two, or more, job opportunities at the same time is a very wise course of action. Please let us know how things go.

Not much happening around the condo complex today. Haven't seen Bonnie or Buster yet today but they may be tucked warm and dry in their home. Have my lunch cooking as I'm writing to you.

Thank you so much for sharing with us that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the warming evening temperatures as they continue to transition into spring and summer. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Peace and blessings,

Hello moon_beam. Rainy Caturday greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. Sorry you didn't get visits from Buster of Bonnie today and I hope they are doing OK.

Well, at least I was able to get Anne to agree that if Remx makes us an offer before Computershare we should take it; that's something I guess. Today was my last "full" day for a week at least, Anne's is tomorrow. Of course that means I have to walk about a mile to get a bus and about another to get home from where it drops me off tomorrow dry.gif Hopefully by the end of next week it will all be moot anyway.

Tang met us at the door when we got it and he's had his supper, shot and treats and is doing well. The waifs have been fed too. Butters got the first round of wet food. I didn't see who got the second, but it's gone too.

I hope today has been kind to you and tat you have a comfortable evening watched over by your precious fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy sometimes rainy humid 70-ish Sunday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I hope you have some decent walking shoes you can wear. I'm liking my new walking sneakers more every day. I'm glad you and Anne have come to an agreement about job offers, and am keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers that you'll be able to have a new job very soon. Please let us know how things go.

Buster came by for a visit. A little while later his mom came over to say "hi", and as she was leaving sweet Buster left to go home with his mommy. He is such a sweet little boy. He may be back for another visit later this afternoon. Haven't seen beautiful Bonnie yet today but may see her later as well.

Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and cool (48) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. Glad to hear Buster and his mom came by for a visit. I hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.

Yeah I have a couple decent pairs of shoes I got from Walmart for a good price. From my time walking to and from the bus, I figure about 2.5 miles. Shades of Saturdays at Vantiv before I got M-F.

Tang met me at the door but was not pleased "mommy" wasn't with me. He rubbed on me for a while then dashed upstairs and meowed his head off. He's better now that she's home and has had his supper, shot and treats.

I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening in the company of your beloved fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy sometimes sunny humid 60-ish Monday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I'm hoping the walking hasn't left you hobbled. I know your precious Tang was glad to see you, and happy to see that his "mommy" got home safe and sound, too.

Worked a bit on financials today - - printing off receipts, statements, etc.. Then worked on a couple of creative projects on the computer. Buster has come to visit and is now settled for a nap on my bed. He wanted the chair with the cushion in it at the computer desk, but I'm occupying it today - - much to his dismay. He is sooooo precious. Haven't seen beautiful Bonnie yet today but may see her later on.

As always, Tracy, it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and cool (49) greetings. I hope this finds you doing well. I'm glad Buster came to visit today. Laughing at his wanting the computer chair. Tang likes that too. I hope he and an Bonnie are doing OK.

Short day today. 3:30-8:00 for me and 4:00-8:00 for Anne. I'm really hoping and praying when we go to RemX Wednesday they make an offer so we can get out of that place. The email said bring ID to fill out the I9 and that's always a good sign.

Tang met us when we got home. He's had his supper shot, and treats and seems to be doing well. Someone parked in Anne's spot and when they left she went to move hers back in and scared Tweak, but he came back.

I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sometimes sunny sometimes cloudy gusty windy chilly 60-ish Tuesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I'm keeping you and Anne in my thoughts and prayers that your interviews tomorrow with Remx will go well and that you'll be celebrating having new jobs. Please let us know how things go.

Today I did a couple of errands - - picked up my refill for the fosamax at the pharmacy, and did some grocery shopping at the Food Lion here in town. I just needed some quick items. Won't need to place my regular Kroger ClickList order for another month. Haven't seen Buster or Bonnie yet today but may be able to see them later on.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and mild (65) greetings. I hope this finds you doing well. Thank you so much for the thoughts and prayers for the RemX jobs. We really need this. Sorry Neither Buster nor Bonnie came by today and I hope they are doing OK.

I just had to work 12-4 today while Anne was off which was just as well as she wasn't feeling well. She says she's better now. After she picked me up from work, we went to a PNC ATM so I could deposit the check for the Firstsource 401K I never asked to be enrolled to in the first place. Just 77.00, but every little bit helps. Then we did a little grocery shopping. I made a big batch of my tuna salad with egg which should last quite a while. (the secret is lemon juice as a natural preservative)

Tang was eager to see his daddy upon our arrival home happy.gif He's had his supper, shot and treats and seems to be doing well.

I hope today has been kind to you and hope that you have a comfortable evening watch over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

I hope you and Anne now have new jobs to look forward with Remx. Please let us know how your interviews went today.

Have been getting caught up on a couple of emails today and finished reading a book from the library. Buster has come to visit and is comfortably curled up on the cushion in the chair to the computer desk taking a nap as I'm writing to you. It's a quiet day here at the condo complex.

As always, Tracy, it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well.

Hi, Tracy, sunny pleasant 70-ish Thursday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I hope all is well with each of you today. Look forward to sharing your news whenever possible.

Did the security updates on the big desk top this morning before going across the common driveway to keep Abigail company. I put her food down before I left but she isn't interested in eating. She always misses her mom and dad when they take an overnight trip. Am at my place now fixing my lunch. Will go back after I've had my meal and the mail comes. Buster's and Bonnie's mom and dad are visiting with their eldest daughter this afternoon. Their mom came over to Abigail's place before they left to let me know that all of their furkids are safe inside and will be okay until they get back around 4 p.m. or sometime thereafter.

Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and warm (80) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. Sorry I forgot to post yesterday. I hope everything is OK with Abigail, Buster and Bonnie.

So, here's what happened. We went to the RemX offices yesterday as we were instructed. I went in first and two ladies started an interview. Another lady pops her head in and the one lady goes out with her. She comes back in and says you and Anne aren't here for interviews, you just here for paperwork (I9, pay cards for direct deposit, etc.) i.e you got the jobs wait to hear from your recruiter about orientation. So after we did that I called the lady who initially called us. She freaked out saying we were supposed to be there to interview. So back in we went and talked to the lady who was doing the placements and she said, nope you got the jobs. Pick a location. So we picked the one that's literally 1/2 a mile away (I can walk that in 10 minutes) Today I get a call from the first lady from the original phone assessment saying that location requires an onsite face to face with the client manager. So over there we go tomorrow at 11 and 11:30 respectively. Bottom line is I'm worried we may not get the jobs now because this lady couldn't do her job right unsure.gif With the first of the month coming up, we really need this ohmy.gif

Tang is well as I spent the day with him as I was off and Anne worked (reverse of that tomorrow) He's had his supper, shot and treats. I also put the waif food out, but haven't seen any of them yet.

I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, now sunny sometimes rainy / stormy 70-ish T G I F greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

Good grief - - sounds like you and Anne had a time of it Wednesday. I hope by now since your appointments this morning that both you and Anne are officially Remx employees. Please let us know how things go.

Got an early start this morning as the weather forecast was calling for storms to come through and I wanted to be with Abigail as I don't know how she reacts to them. This morning's "storm" turned out to be a quick rain shower with a couple of very distant thunder rumbles, and she did okay - - perhaps because she had someone with her. I stayed with her until about 12:30 p.m. or thereabouts, as Buster was longingly wanting to visit with me. So Buster and I came to my unit - - and he is now on my bed taking a nap. I'll go back over to be with Abigail after I have my lunch and the mail has come. Perhaps by then her mom and dad will be home. I saw beautiful Bonnie out and about while I was with Abigail, and Bonnie looked like she was enjoying herself in the warm sunbeams and gentle breezes.

Once again, Tracy, I hope you and Anne received a favorable job confirmation this morning. Thank you so much for sharing with us that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the warming spring evening temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy, muggy and warm (83) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. I'm glad you were able to quell Abigail's fears and that you saw Bonnie and Buster came to visit. I hope they're all doing OK.

So, the interviews went pretty well (I walked home from mine in 10 minutes as predicted - Anne's was after mine) I got my confirmation email at 1:10 and Anne got hers at 4:20 (she texted me at work) She was getting worried too. But we both have jobs there in different departments but the same schedule 11:30-8:00 M-F. Just waiting on the details for the start date. We can breath a little easier now. Worst case, we have to work one more week at Meijer (blech)

Tang met us when we got home and he's had his supper, shot and treats and is doing well. I put the food out for the waifs and I think Tweak was first up.

I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a most comfortable evening in the company of your beloved fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny a bit on the humid side 80-ish Caturday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

CONGRATULATIONS to you and Anne on your new jobs at Remx!!! I know this is a HUGE relief off your minds, and how fantastic that you have the same work schedule (M - F, weekends off - - YEA!!), although different departments. That won't be too bad as you'll have things to share with one another as to how your days went when you get home - - or on your way home. And how nice that you'll be able to walk to work - - if you want to - - save wear and tear on Anne's car, gasoline, maintenance, etc.. Of course since you get off work at 8 p.m. walking home might be another story altogether - - perhaps not such a good idea? I'm sooo excited for both of you. I wish the both of you the very best in this new opportunity. Look forward to sharing your news as to how things go.

Worked a bit on financials this morning and will need to reconcile the bank statement with the checkbook at some point in time. I checked on when the next charge would be on my credit card for my cellphone and found a notice informing that my cellphone will become "extinct" come the end of the year because of upgrades that are being done with the technology service. Which means that I had to break down and buy the new tablet-type phones - - which I absolutely detest. So I have a new phone coming shortly and will have to deal with the activation process and then putting in all my contacts into the new phone. I am NOT a happy camper about this development, but I guess it was inevitable. When I finished that task I took a walk up to the hospital and back to clear the aggravation. Not as long a walk distance-wise but there wasn't any shade along the street and the humidity had already begun to take effect. But still it was nice to have a walk. After I got back precious Buster came to visit and is taking a nap on my bed as I'm writing to you. He is sooooo precious.

As always, Tracy, it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the warm spring evening temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and hot (85) Caturday greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. Sorry about the forced upgrade to your phone. I hope you will have a minimum fuss with the new one. Glad to hear Buster came by and I hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.

Walking home at any time in this neighborhood is no big deal. It's pretty mach just warehouses and apartments. If I'm getting the job that was hinted at I won't even have to be on the phones; more data processing which I like.

Hopefully today was the last time I have to get home like I did last Sunday when Anne worked til 8:00 and I was off at 6:00. Walked a mile to the bus stop then another 1.5 home from where it dropped me off.

Tang was pleased to see me when I finally got home, but confused that I was alone. When Anne got home he ignored me trying to give him his treats and shot upstairs behind her laugh.gif He seems to be doing well. I put food out for the local waifs but haven't seen any yet.

I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Whatever time you and Anne have left at Meijers will be spent knowing that you both have new jobs to look forward to, and this will help you to endure through your time left there. I'm sooo excited for you and Anne with your new jobs, and I'm glad your neighborhood is decent for you to walk in which indeed gives you and Anne the option of walking to work and home on the days you feel up to it and the weather allows. Please let us know how things go.

It's been a quiet day here at the condo complex. Got caught up on some emails. Buster has come for a visit. He kept me company in the kitchen while I was getting my lunch ready to cook, and is now taking a nice nap on my bed as I'm writing to you.

Hello moon_beam. Partly cloudy and warm (77) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. I'm glad to hear Buster paid you a visit and hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.

Not much going on here today. We went to feed the waifs at the old place which didn't go so well. There were too many people out and one guy walking his dog on the jogging path who just would NOT move on (have to stop and smoke and give the poor dog cancer after all) So I wasn't able to put a portion down at the 2nd spot along the fence and had to put that with the pool area portion. I didn't see any of them anyway sad.gif

Then we went to get some groceries and gas and came home for some brunch and TV and a nap. Tang is doing well and has had his supper and shot. I will give him his treats and set out food for the local waifs after while.

I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening watched over by your precious fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny warm 80-ish Monday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I can imagine how aggravated you and Anne were about the crowd of people, and lingerers, interfering with provisioning the waifs at your former residence. I'm glad you were able to put extra portions at the pool site. I know the waifs are thankful to you and Anne for your continued efforts on their behalf. Perhaps next time the circumstances will be better and you'll see at least one or two of the waifs out and about. I also hope you and Anne have received your state date for Remx - - or will get it soon. Please let us know how things go.

Today has been focused on financials. Got the checkbook balanced with the bank statement, and bill payments entered into the checkbook for the upcoming bill-a-thon. This has taken most of the day. Now all I need to do is to begin scheduling online payments and get checks written for those payments I can't make online. Buster has been here on 3 separate visits today. He is with me now and has finally settled down on my bed to take a nap. Beautiful Bonnie came by to say hello but didn't stay long.

Thank you so much for sharing with us that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the warm spring evening temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm (75) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. I'm glad both Bonnie and Buster paid you visits today even if Bonnie's was brief. I hope they are both doing OK.

Not much happening today. I was off and Anne worked, so it was just me and Tang. Have not heard anything new on when we start with the client (McKesson) But the lady at RemX office did say it could be mid week before the BG checks are completed.

Tang is doing well and has had his supper and I will give him his shot and treats later on as well as provisioning the local waifs.

I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening in the company of your beloved fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny warm 70-ish Tuesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I hope the background checks will be completed smoothly and quickly so that you and Anne can begin your new jobs at Remx sooner. I know you both will be glad when you can leave your current jobs for the last time. I'm sure Tang appreciated his dedicated "dad" time yesterday, and was equally glad when Anne arrived home safe and sound.

Worked on scheduling online payments today for the bill-a-thon, and got checks written to take to the post office tomorrow. Also got the checks written for the taxes and will be taking those payments personally to the Town and County administrative offices tomorrow as well. Just have a couple more bills to pay whenever I get the invoices for them. Got an email notice that my new cell phone shipped today so should be getting that in the next few days. Not looking forward to the hassle of getting it activated and my contacts put in. Buster came by this morning to say hello but he didn't stay long. Have also seen beautiful Bonnie out and about but she hasn't come by for a visit yet today. They both look like they're doing well.

As always, Tracy, it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well.

Not much to report here. I worked 3-8 and Anne 2-6 so I had to kill an hour on my tablet in the store cafe and she had to come pick me up.

Tang met me at the door and he's had his supper, shot and treats. He's doing well. Butter was on the steps when I went to put the food out happy.gif

Hi, Tracy, sunny pleasant 70-ish Wednesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I know you appreciated Anne coming to pick you up to take you home yesterday evening. I also know you both will be very glad to begin your new jobs at Remx. You will have the same working schedule which will make it more convenient. Am looking forward to sharing your news when you have your start date.

Got my errands done today - - needed to go to the Town and County admin offices to pay the first half real estate taxes due, then to the post office to mail bills, and then to Food Lion to pick up some deli-type things for the now much warmer temps when I don't feel like cooking. Got my lap top security programs up to date when I got back to the condo. Haven't seen Bonnie or Buster yet today but may see them later.

Have a question for you and Anne: How "safe" will it be for me to continue to run W7 Home Premium after Microsoft discontinues its security updates next year? I really don't want to upgrade to W10. For starters, by Microsoft's own admission it is more prone to hacking even with all the security patches. In addition, I would have to replace all of my software programs - - which I had to do when I upgraded to W7 5 or 6 years ago which was very expensive even though I was still working at the time. And in 5 years Microsoft will discontinue security updates on W10. I had read an article that Microsoft has also considered getting out of the software platform business altogether - - so what happens when W10 service expires? Since I have a full-range internet security program which includes a firewall - - would this be enough to ward off the potential hazards of a hacker for me to continue using W7? Microsoft highly discourages updating existing computers to W10, and I'm not sure that my aging systems could function on W10 - - I cannot afford a new computer. Any suggestions, recommendations would be very much appreciated.

Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the warm spring evening temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Peace and blessings,

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and warm (78) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. I hope Buster or Bonnie have visited at some point today and I hope they are both doing OK. Honestly I have been running 7 on my desk top for about the last 2 years with the security updates turned off. As long as you have a decent security/firewall program you should be fine. My PC is about 10 years old and aside from being a little slow at times it's been fine with 7.

So today was our orientation at RemX (albeit brief and required Anne to call in sick to Meijer to be there) I spoke with the recruiter via phone before leaving and she's working on our start date at MCKesson. Hopefully this week, next week at the latest. So we're not sure how many more days we will have to work at Meijer. But if the start date is early next week we are not doing Saturday as it's a full 8 hour day and I don't think either of us can handle another one of those.

Tang is well and has had his supper and will get his shot and treats later as well as food for the local waifs. I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny breezy humid 80-ish Thursday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

Thank you so much for sharing with us that you and Anne have had your orientation at Remx. I guess I'm a bit confused: Is Remx the employer or McKesson? But as long as you and Anne know that's all that counts!!! I'm sooo hoping that your start date is very soon. Please let us know how things go.

Thank you also for sharing your information about your computer. I use the full AVG Internet Security which has a firewall program. I haven't used the firewall program because I've been using the Windows firewall - - but will definitely install the AVG firewall this fall when I renew the subscription. In years past I had used Norton but that got a bit expensive and AVG was highly recommended. I would be interested in knowing your and Anne's ideas on this. As you know I use my computer for online financials, but all my passwords are on the individual institutions' websites - - I don't save passwords on my computers. All the hacks that have happened have been on the financial institutions' websites, which gives me free identity theft protection because of the hack attacks.

Got my new replacement phone today so have it going through the activation process. I have ordered a stylus and carrying case for it - - my fingers and hands just don't work well with screen touch. Also got my shred box emptied. Buster came for a visit and took a short nap on my bed for awhile. He left a little while ago to go home. He is such a sweet boy.

Thank you so much for sharing with us that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the warm spring evening temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Partly cloudy, muggy and very warm (84) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. Glad to hear Buster paid a visit and hope he and Bonnie are both doing OK. We use AVG too so you should be fine.

RemX is the agency and the client (where we will actually work) is McKesson formerly RX Crossroads. Speaking of which, we both had to completely retake the assessments because they "didn't have a record" of our completion. When we opened it up, we saw why. The Excell part was way shorter than the other one and it had an additional data entry module the other one didn't have. They sent us the wrong assessment! But we did it (I had had to call in today to make that happen in a timely manner) As far as we know, we start Monday. Last email I got from the recruiter stated she was in a conference call with the Louisville team and would give us the details as they are available That was at 4:03. So far, nothing.

Tang is doing OK and has had his supper and shot. I'll get his treats as well as the food for the local waifs later. I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening in the company of your beloved fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, still sunny warm humid 90-ish T G I F greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

Thank you for explaining your new employer. I hope by now you and Anne have gotten the paperwork snafu taken care of and that you both have officially received your start date of Monday. Please let us know how things go.

My new phone is now functional and I have my all of my contacts entered. I miss my flip phone. Got caught up on a couple of emails today. Didn't see Buster until I took his mom's and dad's mail over to them around 4 p.m. Didn't see Bonnie as she has found a shady place somewhere to spend the day in. Have turned on the AC for the evening to help freshen up the air here in the condo for the night.

As always, Tracy, it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the warm spring evening temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and hot (84) greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. I still have my flip phone, but my tablet is vexing sometimes. I'm glad you got to see Buster albeit briefly. I hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.

Well Anne is cleared to start Tuesday after the holiday. Because "they couldn't track down my future manager" for the approval, I'll have to wait until Wednesday dry.gif Either way, after tomorrow (a full day unfortunately) we are DONE at Meijer. We'll turn in our badges and won't look back. At least we are done there for today.

Tang met us at the door when we got home as usual. he's had his supper, shot and treats and seems to be doing well. I put the food out for the waifs too but haven't seen any yet.

I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening watched over by your precious fur-ever angels. Peace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny humid 80-ish Caturday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I am soooooo happy for you and Anne knowing that today is your LAST day at Meijers. HOORAY!!!! I can imagine it's a disappointment that you have to wait until Wednesday to begin your new job, but it will give you and Tang some quality "father son" time together, and since you're within walking distance now perhaps you can go have lunch with Anne on Tuesday - - if it's doable. Please let us know how things go.

Worked a bit on financials today and got my big computer desk straightened up so that I can actually see the top of the desk again. Since my computer space is in the main living area where everyone who comes into the condo can see it I try to keep it as neat as I possibly can. Also did a bit more "customizing" on my new cell phone and deleted my old phone from my Net10 account. Buster has come by for a visit and is stretched out very comfortably on my bed taking a nap. I have the ceiling fan on the low / slow speed to keep the bedroom comfortable for him.

Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the warm spring evening temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Hazy and very warm (82) Caturday greetings to you. I hope this finds you doing well. Glad you were able to get some things situated and that Buster paid you a visit. I hope he and Bonnie are doing well.

What a hellish last day - with the emphasis on LAST. We both practically had to beg for breaks and my line was backed up around the corner with no SC in sight to play traffic cop mad.gif When it was over nobody could even be bothered to stop long enough for us, so we just left our badges on the service lead's desk. I'm guessing she'll get the picture.

Tang met us at the door when we got home. He's had his supper,s hot and treats and is doing ell. I've also set out the food for the local waifs.

I hope today has been kind to you and that you have a comfortable evening in the company of your beloved fur-ever angels. PEace and blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny humid 80-ish Sunday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I'm soooo glad yesterday was your and Anne's last day at Meijers. I'm not surprised the store was swamped with it being a holiday weekend and people getting things for their festivities. I'm very sorry you and Anne were overwhelmed. The good news is that you, Anne, and your precious Tang have today and tomorrow to enjoy together and celebrating your new jobs.

Today has been quiet here. Got caught up on a couple of emails. Last night we had a brief but potent thunderstorm come through town which flicked off the electricity for a few seconds which required the clocks needing to be reset. I reset the one in the bedroom and reset the rest of the clocks this morning. A few minutes ago there was another power blip which required all the clocks to be reset again. I hope that's the last of that exercise for today. Sweet Buster came buy for a visit today. He took a nice nap on my bed for awhile. He left to go home about 45 minutes ago.

Thank you so much for sharing with us that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the warm spring evening temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.
