Today I am off work! The office smelled better yesterday, but S
was still waiting for the insurance people to come by. I spent the
morning taking an inventory and then getting our cost on that inventory.
Don't know why I never even thought of doing it on Wednesday, but I do
know that Wednesday night I thought of it, then told myself at first
that I didn't need to take an inventory since I had just taken one on
Friday - but then I realized we had 2 days of shipping product out
before the fire. Most of it was straight forward, but there were a
couple products that I had to add other things to, to get our cost.
The word seems to be that they think the fire started in a barrel behind the building that caught fire. Either someone was trying to get warm or it was arson. Don't know what that does to things, if anything now.
Had heard that the lawyer who had to move his law office after the hostage situation earlier this month (because of the tear gas the police used) had moved into 1 of the buildings that have now been involved in this fire - so he is once again looking for a place to rent & a secretary was once again working on the sidewalk outside the office - something she had done earlier in the month before they had been offered the 2nd office.
R seems to have had a bit of an issue getting to Corpus Christi from Dallas - something about needing to count the # of passengers on board. But she made it & her mom made it through her surgeries. They only did the valve repair & valve replacement. Said she didn't need the bypass after all. I don't remember exactly which day she was to be dismissed, but that was the day that Rs dad was to have his cataract surgery.
S & I both had trouble remembering that yesterday was Thursday. At one point during the day, he mentioned that we would probably be given Friday off & then when I asked him at the end of the day, he said to come on in, but not to plan to stay long - I just thought he had changed his mind and since they are still paying us - that would be his prerogative. But I got a text message last night from R saying that he had thought today was Thursday, so to go ahead & take the day off & come in Monday. I will probably go in after a bit here to water our plants for the weekend, refile the files I pulled out yesterday & then got sidetracked & didn't get refiled and to turn off our computers for the weekend.
Weather was a high of 78 degrees on Monday and now it is already down to 26 degrees and they are forecasting snow. I heard it is to be somewhere between 6-15 inches and they are calling it a blizzard. So far, no snow, but that could change still. Today is supposed to be when I get A for her special time, but if it starts snowing, I think I will cancel. I know we could do things here, but I also know that it might not be wise to have her here and then to try to drive her 13 miles back home if we have 15 inches on the ground. It's been a few years since we have had that much. But on the other hand - I do have 3 movies, we could maybe get more or watch ones from my collection and knit on our machines & order in pizza. Will just have to see how I think it looks by the time she would be out of school.
S has said that we might get next week off with pay. If I knew for sure that we would, I think I would see if it would be feasible to go see my mil for a few days. But since he has said to at least come in Monday, then I don't think I had better do it unless I get a different message. The best ticket seemed to be from Sunday to Thursday of this week when A was looking them up for me yesterday. And I don't even know if it would be a good time for my bil & mil for me to visit. But it sure would take care of me trying to get more than a Saturday/Sunday to go see her.
I slept in until 9 am today! Feel like I could sleep some more and may do it. All the smoke in the air at work has kept me with a headache since Wednesday - C mentioned he had one as well yesterday.
