Greetings from Emily, Willow, and their human servant! We hope everyone is doing well. Willow and Emily are both having a short 4 hour naps this afternoon! I'm enjoying a long weekend thanks to a holiday Monday.
The time off is surely appreciated. Back in November I mentioned that my work place was restructuring. One of the commentors, I believe it was Messy Mimi, mentioned that restructuring is usually fewer folks doing more work and with no pay increase. Sadly, Messy Mimi is correct. It is a daily whirlwind of feeling overwhelmed. I'm very thankful for work but I am finding it challenging to keep up with all the new requirements that generally belong in a higher pay grade.
However, Emily and Willow have very strict guidelines for food, toys and other personal items, so what am I to do? Perhaps it is time I seriously consider buying lottery tickets. LOL
The first part of my long weekend was spent doing errands and chores. I picked up groceries, a shirt, and, most exiting of all, a new desk lamp!
Today, I was able to go to the park for a walk. The morning was very foggy. I thought it gave a mysterious and other worldy atmosphere. Surprisingly, the birds were singing up a storm. According to my trusty bird app I heard : a carolina wren, a woodpecker, chickadees, mallards, crows and cardinals.
It was a long walk and it did my heart good to be outside.
By the time I got home an hour and a half later, my fingers felt like they had pins and needles in them. Brrr....
I baked up a dozen banana chocolate chip muffins. My apartment smells like a cozy hug.
Emily has started to keep me company sometimes when I'm at the computer. She is the sweetest girl.
I think I'm going to read for a while and have a warm beverage. I will touch base with you folks soon.
Take care and hug your felines!
