I have a great boss. I think he comes to work with me to get some peace time. I may fill his shoes after retirement if he will hold out till my son is a bit older.. I work for a global company called Erik’s. I am an account manager for East Tx, North La, and S Ar.. I have been in the same line of work for almost 12 yrs now so my only complaints are the heavy days when I spend 8 hrs driving for 4 hrs of work.. I really have it made though and never miss an event for my children as I do my own scheduling. Just a small insight into my world

Sounds like you’ve found a perfect balance!

Good Morning All,
The sun is shining, tomorrow is a public holiday for us here in Cape Town. Woman's day. Yayyy Work is busy. My boys are all down with flu. So besides the flu issue life is currently good. I hope you all have a wonderful and fun filled Wednesday.

Oh dear. Please take care of yourself. Flu is never fun.

 

[CarolM]

That sounds good!

At least you know they need you!


Hmmm. Men having flu for Women’s Day? [emoji848]Sounds suspicious to me! [emoji6][emoji1]

Have a great Wednesday Carol... and stay away from the sick men in your life!

Whahaha. You gave me a good laugh. Now I am suspicious about the flu symptoms as well. I will have to make the foulest concotion I can think of to cure it and see if they are willing to take it. Mauhahaha (as Lena likes to say). Thanks for the heads up Linda.

 

[CarolM]

Oh dear. Please take care of yourself. Flu is never fun.

Thank you Lena,
I am actually fine, My eldest refuses to take medication to help. Which I suppose is not a bad thing as his own immune system will get stronger. The youngest seems to be on the mend. Hubby however acts like he is dying. Refuses to medication unless I personally stand there hand it to him and give him something to drink it down with. However he still goes to work. And then when at home uses it as an excuse. I long ago decided I am not nurse material and that it drives me up the wall. Just take the medication (on your own) and get on with life. Okay rant over.

 

[CarolM]

And Good Morning Linda and Lena.

Have fun taking over the world.

I drink the water all the time. I had just refilled my bottle when I took that photo.

Mum, like many of the residents, takes bottles down to there to get water to use at home. Her tap water tastes just fine; I think she just likes the idea of getting it straight from the well

I spent my teenage years in Harrogate, which is also a spa town. More recently Harrogate water is also sold in bottles and is very good, but there isn’t a public source like this and the famous spring at the pump room is sulfurous tastes and smells like rotten eggs!

I have a bad spa town habit come to think of it. Before Harrogate we lived near Bath and I currently live 4 miles from Tunbridge Wells

Uiiiihh, water that smells like a rotten egg I would not drink too.
My tap water has a very short way and it comes from a spring too. The spring is only 5 KM away from where I live. I love my tap water very much and drink it every day. I don`t buy any water in bottles.

Good morning all. Happy Wednesday. Mum and I are going to see my sister today

Good morning Linda. I wish you all a very nice day together. It is nice when a family or a part of it meet.

I’m sure you know by now that men can be such babies!!! Mashing a splinter on them is equivalent to a women having a baby sometimes [emoji23] I’m sure there may be a FEW exceptions but hey, truth hurts I wish everyone a speedy recovery & hope you stay well & sane! Wishing you a better morning!

 

[EllieMay]

Good morning to ALL my new friends. I pray that the few names I’ve called this morning are correct... if not, please slap,correct, & forgive me[emoji847]... it’s still early ! I hope you all have a great day!

 

[EllieMay]

A good morning from George n Piper!

 

[EllieMay]

Yesterday was weigh n measure for the babies... they are strong n steady!

 

[EllieMay]

Teddy just wishes I would hurry up and go back inside[emoji23]
