Homecomings

Today, I gained my "roomie" back.  My son's situation seemed to .... not hold together, so he moved back home. 

I am taking this with mixed feelings:  I'm happy he's home, and I'm happy that I can provide for him in his time of need.  Otherwise, I really, REALLY, liked being alone, doing my own thing whenever and whatever the mood -- it was OK because I didn't answer to anyone. 

I have to say, I was very pleased using GoShare!  The estimate was $60-75, and came in at $69.  The driver, Ardy, was on time, helped Brian load his things.  He took pride in what he was doing -- you could tell because he drove an immaculate white Mercedes Benz cargo van with every kind of dolly or furniture moving device stored inside.  He stowed Brian's guitars up front with him so they didn't get damaged.  If you ever need something hauled, calling GoShare is much easier than renting yourself a U-Haul pickup!   Brian's appointment was 2pm, we were back at my house (15 minute drive) and unloaded by 3:10pm.   Best invention EVER!

Now it will be adjustment time:  I work 7-4, he works 9p-6am.  I'm sure there will be struggles for the first few weeks as we re-adjust our schedules to make this work.  And the foods we eat -- well, when I cook for one, I do things a little bit different!  I might boil up enough chicken for the week, then do different dishes:  chicken and rice, chicken salad, chicken nachos -- you get the idea.  Today, we had broccoli and burgers.  Just between you and me, I'm not sure he was eating all that healthy -- but when you're struggling, you don't always eat what's good for you.  

Because he worked last night and has been up ever since -- nearly 24 hours now -- he's crawled himself into bed.  Bet he sleeps most of the night! I'm hoping I do too. hehehe

Changes. Again

It's been a fine how-do-you-do of a week!  We had inventory at my BigBox Store, and it wasn't good.  It keeps me wondering about the millennial workforce.  Why are they unable to stay on task?  There is a basic way of working, all based on apps, which is what they're familiar with.  All the tasks are laid out on a daily basis, they're pretty much directed via the apps on what needs to be done and when.  And they still can't get it done the right way... which in my world means completed.  They seem to start the routine fine, but never reach the end tasks; they go home and start the beginning tasks the next day.  Over time, these things don't ever get done.   These tasks will now be relegated to my department.  And I'm not happy.

In other parts of life .... my son sent me a text today and said he needs to move back home, and what am I doing this weekend?  Because of so many changes at work, I'm working the weekend.  So I did what my sis always does:  hires someone.  I found this company called GoShare; it's like Uber only it's with pickup trucks.  The driver, "Ardy", will pick him and his stuff up at 2pm and bring him home.  After three+ years of living alone, this will be quite the adjustment!!!

As for the reasons behind the move, I don't know, and I didn't ask.  He keeps things to himself, but will open up when he's ready.   Sadie is going to be very happy, she'll be able to interact with more than just me!
