Hey All!     First thing first. I hope everyone is doing well and is enjoying life to the fullest. We are coming up for on the holiday season as we approach Halloween. I encourage everyone to be safe, have fun, and plan ahead as holiday after holiday comes forth. i won't elaborate further as we are all our own person.     I write again noticing that it has been once again far too long. A blog is supposed to be an online diary or narration. Lol! For me it seems to be a rare update. I honestly do not know how many people still read my blog with any regularity. But, that is OK. I'm thinking about redefining my blog and to start adding more to it. I'm far behind on everything and would love to spend some quality time updating it. I have more recipes, pictures, and songs to add. I won't go into any further detail as you will have to stop by periodically to see the changes. Anyhow, I'm going to move on to my life update.      There are many things in l...

Hey everyone! Sorry it has been so long once again. I have been thinking about things, many things of late. Life tends to throw you curve balls at every angle. Our job is to get ahead any way we can.

  Hey everyone, I apologize once again as it has been ages since the last time I posted. I figured it is about time i gave everyone a decent update on life. Where shall we start? I think work is a good place.   I work at The Home Depot. I have been there since March of last year. Coming up on my anniversary as well as my first weeks of Vacation Pay that I have had in a long time. I have worked in 6 different areas in The Home Depot (THD or HD from now on). The first position was overnight freight relief. I spent 3 months doing that and learning THD freight systems. not ultimately hard but it tended to be complicated as I had never before dealt with so much freight. The next position I held was Inventory Prep, this is where I applied tags, counted overhead contents, and pushed freight to the shelves in a fashion that required a very specific detail and account of what was being handled. The 3rd postion was Lot Attendant. Now you may ask why the backwards spiral? It was not ba...
