What’s Happening Now

Granddaughter has her car back, her belongings back, got the car insured, so there’s hope this millennial has learned there are consequences for not properly handling one's business.
If not, well then too bad so sad. She’s got a boyfriend, a mom and she’s got herself.
Grandma is out.
See you next Thanksgiving.
Maybe.
Meanwhile, out and about on the complex, I noticed management finally got around to removing the duct tape from the mailboxes and properly sealing with cement.
It took management four long months to repair damage done by the bad guys breaking in to gather and sell personal data.

December

I’m not holding my breath that the bad guys won’t return and tear it all down again.
Elsewhere on the complex, in addition to the new Community Manager having had enough and quitting after 81 days, the Assistant Manager has gone missing.
We don’t know if she’s sick again or went out of the country to get her husband’s visa in order so he can return, or if she’s fired or quit. 
Of the 12 senior communities owned and operated by Corporate, 12 have an opening for Community Manager (that includes this complex) and three are looking for Assistant Managers. This community isn’t listed for that position, so probably not quit or fired.
So happy am I now to be old, retired, not having to deal with an employer.
During the week, I found the market elf Harold again.
I didn’t even have to look very hard.
Thinking that if market staff located the elf low, some Grinch would steal him, I theorized it would always be somewhere high up.
Sure enough, there he was on a shelf in the produce department.


On tap for today is putting the finishing touches on the Thanksgiving scrapbook and making a decision as to what to bring to Wednesday’s Holiday Potluck. I’m wavering between ice cream and Starbucks in a Box (Traveler).
Probably ice cream, because 40 have signed up for the event and a Traveler only serves about 20. Inasmuch as the folks really love Starbucks, it might cause a scramble to get coffee before it’s gone and may even result in an old-people fight or two.
On the other hand, that might be interesting. So maybe the Traveler after all. LOL.

  2. I would think you would have to buy a lot of ice cream to feed 40 people!

    1. Actually, no. There's always ice cream left over because some can't eat dairy, some can't do sugar. But, for some reason, Starbucks is like gold around here.

  3. I miss the thought of work, going to an enjoyable job to go and accomplishing things. I don't miss getting up, getting dressed and dealing with office politics. Yes, retirement is good.
