April 17, 20197 yr Hey I have been missing Whispers. Did you get lost on one of your runs? You are a staple around here. Your opinion is always appreciated!
April 17, 20197 yr Noone in my area to car pool with. If I drive it's about an hour each way but I still have a medical restriction on my lisence. I can do local trips. It's not like that everyday, just when something goes wrong. The 2-2.5 hours each way is normal...will be better once it cools down, because then I can use the time to crochet so it will at least feel productive.
April 17, 20197 yr Jo, patience must be one of your virtues. 5 hours a day getting to and from work seems like such a waste. Do you have to put in an 8 hour day?
April 17, 20197 yr Yep 8 hours.... I took the job because it was going to be 2-3 days working from home.... hasn't happened yet.
April 17, 20197 yr Author Wow Jo ...that's gruelling ...even 2 hrs each way ...I don't know how lucky I was ...to be able to walk there is 15 mins....
April 17, 20197 yr G’day My grandparents fought for the 8 hour work day. So the day consisted of 8 hours work, 8 hours sleep and 8 hours Leisure. With our city’s getting so big and that job for life doesn’t exist any more so we are forced further afield. A commute is getting part of life now. You cant sleep on a bus or train or behind the wheel ;( You can’t work on a bus or train and I don’t want to be an Uber driver. So that leaves the commute time to come out of you leisure time.... we are going to be so much poorer for that C
April 18, 20197 yr I get upset when it takes me more than 20 minutes to get to and from work and this is in Phoenix Az. on the I-17. I never have had to deal with long commutes since I live here. That`s a bit of good fortune I guess.
April 18, 20197 yr I had the joy of having a root canal during the last week....all done now and dentist said all looks good...tooth has been saved! Taking my last antibiotic pill for today....

Was it all caused by a lady being hit by a train and killed ☹️

No chocolate for me. I am a jelly bean addict - pink and purple are my favorite. I am being good though because I need to shed some of this extra weight.
April 18, 20197 yr @Linda Thomas, how is your back feeling? I know you're getting ready for your camping trip tomorrow so I hope it feels better and you have a great time

I know you're getting ready for your camping trip tomorrow so I hope it feels better and you have a great time It is a little better. As long as I take the anti inflammatory and an occasional pain pill, I am mustering through. We have been packing all week so we did not overdo it at once. My husband is doing the lifting. We leave tomorrow morning. We are meeting up with my grand daughter at college, so grandma had to make a special meal to feed the starving college students. She has quite a few starving friends. Then we are off to a week of just relaxing and camping. I do have an appointment with an orthopedic doctor when we get home. I am just hoping it will continue getting better. It is hell getting old!
April 18, 20197 yr Author Aww it's good you have a week of just talking care of you ...hopefully when you get back you will be feeling alot better ... Have you agree getting on in years stinks...have a safe journey sweetheart ...
April 18, 20197 yr What a lucky granddaughter AND her friends I also agree that this getting old shit sucks lol. Glad you're feeling a little better though, xoxo Edited April 18, 20197 yr by jillar
