soft starts in Bittersweet

I keep coming to write, Ok i did a few days ago. And i start and then just fizzle out. Every day there are cute funny things that happen with work. But i dont always write them down. Short jokes ill post on facebook.
Ill try to remember some things.

So yesterday im working with Yard Guy C. Hes the older man. And he takes off his mask to kiss his wife ( who im checking out) and i shouted. OMG YOU HAVE A MUSTACHE! I didnt know this. It looks so weird. Like people look so weird without their masks now haha. I know you with your mask and the other half of your face dosent look like you! Anyway his wife laughs and says yeah at the end we wont know what our coworkers look like. Well for C and I and a bunch of others who started work during the pandemic its true! Ive only seen half the people without their masks on. C is pretty careful to put his on in the car, lunches in his car or at home. A few others leave pretty religiously too. Anyway we all laugh. Im still going. Wut. He has a stache. He looks so wrong lol.

Like have you seen that rick and morty episode where they go to the post apocalyptic world and summer meets a guy and he takes off his can hat an he has a mustache. Its literally THAT!

Anyway. My kid manager had mentioned he has brothers. Yeah i think hes a twin. He was in and i did a double take. I mean they look JUST alike. I didnt ask. But i literally eyed between the two in a double take haha. That must be fun.

Last night when it was time to go home. I raidoed to get my drawer opened and my manager shouts never Manager A says you are staying ( over the com) And i laughed and said but yesterday you told me NO! So she came and unlocked my drawer, I counted down ( on target wee) and then we got busy. I ran some credit cards seeing my cash drawer was counted out. And ended up being 20 minutes late. Managers M and D were on registers. Anyway when we slowed manager M walked away. So i radioed again, and she responded oh shit sorry! NO YOU ARE STAYING. And i raidoed back, But you told me noooooo ( we were SUPER busy and someone called in sick two days in a row. The first day i stayed an hr to cover the rush. The second day they said i was too close to hours ( for OT) Anyway they came back and let me off. Then hubby and i were wandering around doing a teeny bit of shopping, and they were joking with yard guy C again. His new name is dingbell. I didnt catch the why but it was pretty funny. They even gave him a name tag with it on there. Although one of the kids i work with raidoed him and called him hey propane, i need a propane filled. So we all laughed about that for a while.

We had a gal come work in clothing. And she said she works SUPER part time ( works for the city) anyway, she bought some water or whatever, introduced her self and said she had heard a lot about me. Which REALLY sets me on edge, Because frankly im not sure everyone at work really LIKES me you know. I am weird, im talkative, im fairly loud and slightly obnoxious at times. Im working on reigning myself in to a degree. Ive learned to curb my cussing mouth and replace words with things that religious cowboys would be ok with haha. Anyway. I said oh lord i hope its not terrible i know im pretty weird. She didnt really reply one way or another. She works with the lady in clothing that im fairly sure thinks im insane. Just a few things shes said… Anyway im sure im not going to find my curl up and watch hallmark movies together buddy there lol.

Like i own my weirdness. I am who i am. Im toning it down because i dont want to offend anyone. But i laugh a lot and i am a people person, so i really enjoy it.

On the other hand the husband isnt learning to be an awesome housewife yet. Maybe it takes more then a month? haha. He cooks dinner like 3 days out of 7. The chores dont get done, the critters dont get fed. Till i get home. So that kind sucks. I guess it takes time? For years ive done all his laundry and put it away. Cooked dinner cleaned ect. Hes got to figure out how to do it and take care of the kids and school the kids.

Christmas is going to be a fairly sad affair compared to what im used to. We are looking at 2 at best gifts per kid. While my working is helping a lot. We are still SO tight right now… Its really hard for me because i really love going all out for the kids. But its not going to happen. What they want is really so expensive. So while logically i know that its going to be ok. My heart says this is NOT ok. This isnt right. And we should have found a way to do more for them! I have an expectation in my head of what they deserve. And its more then what they are getting.

B had his wisdom teeth out today. He was pretty funny on the way home but hes actually remarkably ok right now. He took a Vicodin and didnt pass out like the rest of us do. Hes up and wandering. We cut up some of the french dip into teeny pieces he could taste and swallow lol. Tomorrow it may be worse. But for now, hes doing ok. His bottom teeth were impacted into his jaw. The roots were growing badly in his jaw and the teeth were erupting on the bottom and had pushed on his teeth. Hopefully now his teeth with relax and straighten out. If we are lucky.
Here is a part of my fb post about him.
B was asking me if this is his lips, while touching them. Oh and kept asking how he got here, I said we drove. Then he takes a photo of himself and says look i guess i took a photo of myself. THEN 3 hours later comes back and says mom, i guess i took a photo of myself. Its like uhh yeah lol. Oh and he texted how did i get here, and handed me his phone to read it.

Well im going to go. We had french dips for dinner and im stuffed and have so much to do.
