Did you miss me?

A last minute, 24-hour notice, work schedule change, resulted in not getting any rest time before I needed to find stuff to pack for week-end visit trip.

 Then a last minute travel plan change to the night before essentially deprived me of all sleep before the family day n gave me only a couple hours to get ready n more things needed to bring. Plus I was not home to make all the food I'd wanted to eat the evening of my Day Off. I threw most away after I got back. Also I couldn't go grocery shopping before back to work. They gave me split up Days Off, had one Day n then  worked 7 days in a row with no OT because my Days Off were moved again to the end of the week. Today is Library time, n need to pay bills so no work-food shopping time until tomorrow, n lost my laundry day at the house as a work day. Now will struggle to fit in one load for work stuff.

\n workday "6-in-a-row" folks at the house woke me up all morning, so I got less than 3 hours of sleep before working a shift in Hell with some very difficult, other culture young folks being cruel n rude to me  all night.

Now family folks trying to get me to schedule some more trips but I can't even think - Too much stress! just want to snooze n do nothing until my body can recover a bit... still waiting for that...

So my shopping, chores, laundry, sleeping, eating, n work days are all screwed up at once, going on week 3. I wish everyone would stop changing my plans for me! Wonder if it will continue next week- It's about time to throw a fit at all these folks. Only a week left of crazy summer orders - Yay!

Something strange happened after work at 3am the other day. That annoying emergency broadcast system warning test noise came on over the tv. My impulse was to hurry n change the channel away from that rude, nasty beep. But for the first time in my memory, it was announcing an actual emergency!

A tornado warning was issued for Metro-West, the area of my childhood home where I still know some folks. There was a tornado later confirmed in Concord MA. Luckily no one except trees n wallets were injured.

Here's where we had a family visit. Did alot of toe- dipping, tho was cooler n overcast that day so no one really swam. Got more for later...
