The Blob

 
Anna had spent the weekend in Athens. Her lip had swollen up but was back normal just in time for her to go to work yesterday. She ate supper with us: BBQ chicken, tossed salad, green beans, and purple potatoes with sour cream and cheese. I did the dishes and watched The Neighborhood.
 
Gonna be busy this week. Month end. Busy customer. Coworker on vacation. Friday we had our lunch meeting which took up an hour. I was trying to get caught up so there wouldn’t be so much double work this week while he was out. Boss was out and the three other team members spent two hours giving blood, leaving me alone to take calls, enter PO’s, receive PO’s, and bill off remote orders. They completely forgot abut a conference call with the customer. Due to a new customer demand that had increased work, I had already taken back work previously delegated to others. Still other projects aren’t getting done because of blood drives, committee meetings, and service projects. Then I came in this morning and had to do something else a team member had forgot. Hate to let work get in the way of other’s good time.
 
So I wasn’t in a good mood when I left work at 5:30. Splurged on a pair of all white sneakers. Ceil might’ve fixed black beans and rice. M was home and ate with us. Caught up on Fresh Off the Boat and a few others shows.
 
Saturday morning small group at Chickfila. I was sitting facing the window. Was there from 8:25 to 10-10 am and there was a constant stream of cars through the drive thru the whole time. Same with the Starbucks next door. Afterwards I picked up copies for Ceil. She volunteered at a nearby road race sponsored by the YMCA.
Came home and straightened upstairs. Took photos of more sneakers and posted 14 more for sale on eBay. Tretorns. Blue Nikes. White Nikes. Black Nikes. Blue hightops. Blue Jordans. Jean jacket. Golden State tshirt. 49ers helmet. Black Jordans. Red Nikes. Red adidas. Wool cap. Already have for sale: black Chuck Taylors. Black Nikes. Music book. A bobblehead. Brown boots. Blue Vans. Black boots. Black hightops. White Chuck Taylor hightops. Packaged and shipped a pair of New Balance. Just sold another pair of Chuck Taylors and two bobbleheads. Already sold three pair of Anna’s sneakers, plus my New Balance 990s, black Chucks, brown Vans, and three pairs of Nikes. Got more I need to post.

Washed and folded laundry. Did the dishes. Made turkey and black bean quesadillas for lunch. Posted on eBay while watched football: OK/Kansas State. LSU/Auburn. Clemson/BC. Some SC/Tenn. Michigan/Notre Dame.
 
Sunday School & Worship. More on the giving series, this time from the new guy. Goal for next week’s offering: $3 million. Bryant Wright had requested to not be given a big retirement gift but instead have a big missions offering.
 
After church I made a bank deposit and picked up M’s Jeep from Whole Foods. Ate lunch, changed clothes, and got the Jeep emissions done. Stopped by to get a new gas cap. Laundry. Blew leaves off the gutters and away from the house. Cut the grass. Blew the driveway. Crashed on the couch. Grits and eggs. Read my book. Fresh Off the Boat. Speechless. Pats/Browns. A little World Series. I had no idea what time the game started. I just had the game on as background as I read and worked on the laptop, in case something newsworthy happened. Flipped a coin and baseball won out over NFL GB/KC.
 
Monday: battling work emergencies all day means I gotta stick around to get a little work done. Not everyone does this, but its easier to get things done when you give others plenty of time to do their part. Harder when every single time the raw material arrives at the last minute and the fabricator has to drop everything and work on your order.
 
Having problems with the wi-fi so I'm kinda picture on the old blog these days. 
 
Stopped by on the way home to stock up on Halloween candy. Are you ready?
