Good news and bad news about my never ending job search.  Good news - I got a call from the memory care facility I last worked in before I had ankle surgery.  They want me back!

Bad news - I had to turn it down because they want me for far too many hours.  6 hours per day. 

 

I had a face to face interview yesterday after a phone interview for part time office work managing volunteers for a non-profit org.  I'll find out next week if yay or nay.

 

Wish we could cruise enough to satisfy my staying home full time. 😏

 

 

 

Keep looking you will find the perfect part time job. I just turned down a freelance job that just seemed more trouble than it was worth. Stick with your gut.

Her day was okay except that she has a fractured wrist.On Tuesday I had the most back pain since before my surgery in 2010.I am using Australian Dream Cream and it has been helping me greatly.

Good luck with your job search, Bonnie!  I've thought of coming out of retirement and getting a part-time job, but the thought of having to show up on a regular basis brings me back to my senses.  🤪

I retired in 1998 and had three more jobs before retiring for good in 2004.

Problem with colors and pictures and where you are looking at them.  There is a program I receive both on my TV and I stream on my laptop. Picture on tv is totally different color from laptop. And it is a picture of a car with a commentator saying the color and it doesn't sounds correct on either device.   

I remember the guy in the paint store saying to paint a swatch on all four walls and then look at them at various times including night time to see if you still like the color before you invest time and money. 
The pale pink I had picked out looked like Pepto Bismol in morning light.

I hope @Ocean Boy and @Momof3gurlz are safe after the tornado and thunderstorms that went through Rhode Island this morning.

The pictures I am seeing on the news were in North Providence and Scituate which I didn't think were near you.  Lots of damage in that area.  We have had heavy rains and thunder but clearing now here too.

We’re currently in Walt Disney World with the family, sheltering indoors at the moment from a severe t-storm.  
We live in Coventry but very close to the Hope Village/Scituate line. Our neighbor checked and no damage for us. 
Thanks for asking. It never ceases to amaze me how we check-in in each other here 🙂.

I posted a picture of Sarah's cat Evie a while ago.  Evie was not Sarah's cat for long and she is now ours.  All I can say is thank goodness I don't live on a farm like @A&L_Ontor I'd never know what new animal would be awaiting.

 

Sarah realized after a couple days that the guy she got her from wasn't exactly telling the truth wtruthe said that she didn't shed much.  Only Sarah in her excitement to get a cat would believe that a Turkish Angora Siamese cross would not shed.

 

Vikki decided to knit her a hat.

She's beautiful! She does look like a shedder. We are still finding gray kitty fur, more than a year after he is gone.

Hope the storm lets up and you can continue the park. Ride the Pirates of the Caribbean ride for me. That’s my favorite ride of all time.

@Lionesss I enjoyed your machine in the casino I put in $100 and left with $330. Should have gone back to play it after I hit it big later in the week but only gambled in non smoking casino after the big one.

She’s a lovely cat, but she doesn’t look entirely sure of the hat!

The sweetest corn we ever had was from NJ farms.  So sweet, it tasted like it was dipped in sugar.  Good you found some good ones in your store.

Our corn has been so delicious this Summer! 

Good luck with your job hunting, Bonnie!

I didn't see the news this morning.  Our oldest daughter used to live in Scituate Harbor.  Beautiful area. 

I have the news on now.  They are showing trees down in Long Island.  They just now mentioned the tornadoes hitting down in Mass. and Rhode Island.

I'm glad to hear that your home didn't have any damage from the tornadoes today!

Florida is notorious for their downpours.  Hopefully you all weren't way-laid too long today due to the severe thunderstorm.

Evie doesn't look too happy here, nor too sure about wearing her new hat indoors.

My daughter just ordered a bright pink thundershirt for Lola.  She shakes so hard it feels like her heart's going to come right out of her little body!  We sure hope it works for her the next time we get thunder and/or storms.

Did she live in MA or RI?  The Scituate that had the tornado is in RI, as well as Johnston, RI.  They are investigating a few areas in MA that they think had tornados too.  It looks like one of them skipped along a line from Scituate, RI to Weymouth MA.  There is a crazy video of the tornado hitting cars on a highway.
