A new pad

Wednesday prattle
I'm at my home away from home this morning because there are some server problems which have caused Sugarfused to be knocked offline. Again. Storms, perhaps...they were ferocious here last night. I heard the trashcans blowing down the driveway in the middle of the night, and when I got to work this morning, I found several tree limbs and many parking lot signs had been toppled. Of course, I have no idea where the server is actually located so who knows what's happened.
Anyway, things are good here. I was able to hire a new employee this morning, and I have another one hoping to start next week. I'm beginning to see a little light at the end of the tunnel, and I think in two weeks time, I'll be fully staffed again. There are some big projects to complete in the near future, and I am anxious to get started on them. I despise having to keep putting things off due to lack of staff but I've had no choice lately.
Scott reminded me that he only has 5 more weeks of day shift left. We've enjoyed our work schedules so much this summer, and I hate like hell that it will all change again when school starts. I keep hoping that they'll ask him to swap shifts with someone, but he tells me it just isn't going to happen. Sigh.
My parents returned from their trip to Wisconsin where they had been visiting my sister and her family. They stayed three weeks and helped them move into their newly built house. They watched the kids, helped clean and pack, and my sister better appreciate what all they've done lol. When I talked to mom on Sunday she sure sounded tired and really glad to be home. I should call her today and invite her to lunch tomorrow. It's been too long since we've seen each other, and I'm ready for another lunch at the Mexican place :=)
Which reminds me...I have weigh-in tomorrow. Dread it - dread it. I feel all bloated and puffy and fat, but I'm determined to not put it off like I did last week. I need to stay for the meeting, too. They really do help keep me on plan, and I've missed sitting in on them the last few weeks. Lately, I've just been running in and weighing and then right back to work. I'm afraid I've reached a plateau because the scales don't seem to be budging lately.
Enough for now...I gotta scoot on back to work. If anyone sees this today, thanks for reading and I hope to be back at my regular blog tomorrow ;~))
