August | One Line a Day
Hi, welcome to Gma’sPhoto! August did not start favorably. The stomach bug landed and hit me hard. I was out from work Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I am now on the mends and back to my regular schedule and activities.
01. Thursday. Went to see the doctor. Wanted to make sure I had the stomach bug and not more to do with my Crohn’s. Needed note to return to work.
02. Friday. Back to work.
03. Saturday. Met my daughter for a brief moment before she left for a Branson, MO vacation. Drove into Lawrence to meet my son and do grocery shopping. Studying for my CDL. This will be a fun story. I will post about this later.
04. Sunday. Took a nap. Felt good to catch up on much needed rest.
05. Monday. Long day Monday.
06. Tuesday. Took the day off from work to attend a meeting for the school bus position. Safety meeting and CPR class.
07. Wednesday. Back to work.
08. Thursday. Work day was good. Virtual walk in the evening with Linda.
09. Friday. Prepping cameral for Saturday’s photo session with Cresinda.
10. Saturday. Had a wonderful time taking senior portraits!
11. Sunday.
12. Monday. Contacted HR and my first day to report to my new position will be Sept 4th.
13. Tuesday. Typically work day.
14. Wednesday. Had my DOT physical. All went good except one minor thing, CPAP and the lack of use.
15. Thursday.
16. Friday. I have not given my two weeks yet. Wanted to see how PTO not used would be paid out. I will need to use it. Monday, I will put in for the time off, then give the notice once time is approved!
17. Saturday. Lunch date with Cris. We meet half way at Legends. It’s a mall, not the typical mall you would think of. All the stores are outside. Let me clarify that. Imagine you are in the mall and you are standing in the center in front of each store. That area I would describe a huge hall between the two rows of stores. Well, at Legends that hall is outside. The stores are buildings but once you leave a store you go outside to the next store. Each store is connected like in a typical mall. We ate lunch and then shopped!
18. Sunday.
19. Monday. Put in my request for days off. I will need to take the time off or loose my paid PTO time.
20. Tuesday. Turned in my two week’s notice 🙂
21. Wednesday. Work as usual and virtual walk with Linda.
22. Thursday. Dinner and movie night at the Tonganoxie library. I had fun last year and did not want to miss seeing Elvis this year!
23. Friday. A night at Starlight watching Westside Story! The time I was invited to see Little Mermaid inspired me to want to come back to Starlight. Knowing Kevin wouldn’t be interested, I invited Linda to go with me.
24. Saturday. Spent the day working on Cresinda’s senior images. Downloading to computer and editing.
25. Sunday. We went to church! I was so excited about this. Last night, Kevin, asked if I want to go to church. Yes, I said. The sermon was for me. Amazing. The Good Lord knew I needed to hear it!
26. Monday. My last week of working for child care. 🙂
27. Tuesday. Went in to take the CDL test. That did not go as planned. I will need to retake the test.
28. Wednesday. Busy day at work.
29. Thursday. Another busy day at work.
30. Friday. Spent the night over at my folks house. Dad went on a motorcycle trip to Springfield, IL to see motorcycle races. Mom and I binge watched the YellowStone marathon.
31. Saturday. Ended up staying a second night with my mom, still watching YellowStone!
Once again another month has come and gone. There’s not time for regrets. Looking forward to September!
Take Care. Best wishes, Debra
