- When is everyone sending their holiday cards? It’s killing me to wait until Monday to drop mine off. Hee hee.
- Let’s talk all things holiday!
-
- My holiday Goodrs game! Love them! I was hoping they’d have a fun case like the Halloween ones, but no dice.
- I ordered the cats another toy Advent calendar for Christmas. The Halloween one was just so fun (for us… did they care? Who knows. Ha.).
- Did anyone else watch Love Hard on Netflix? It was cute. I “got” the title about a day after watching it, ha.
-
- A lot of people recommended Feliway Multicat to help the cats get along so I got some. Cross your fingers it helps! The cats were all sitting in the same room Tuesday night for a bit without growling, so that’s progress. And we’re letting Ned out all day, without a gate on the stairs (the other cats were mostly hanging out in the bedroom).
- I don’t mind the shorter daylight but it’s impossible to film Reels after work now! Too dark!
- A few weeks ago I was sad my supervisor might retire in a few years. I love working with them so much. But then on Tuesday I found out we are reorganizing and my role is changing (I don’t know where I will end up yet, but I do have a job and won’t get a pay demotion). I won’t even be working with them anymore in the spring. Wah. Anxiety.
- Why is PayPal such a pos? I stopped using it many years ago because I had so much trouble with it. Then a few folks asked if I would take payment that way for rocks and it’s been a nightmare trying to transfer the funds to my bank. Sigh.
Hi! I’m Kim, a 40-something-year-old living in northeastern Illinois with my husband Steven, and our cats, Khaleesi, Apollo, Starbuck, and Eddard aka Ned. My current main hobbies are running, painting rocks, flying, reading, and eating. I follow a vegan lifestyle and am employed by the federal government. I write about a variety of topics and consider this a “life” blog – a place I can share anything that’s on my mind. Please visit the “About” page to get a better idea of who I am! 🙂
I just ordered the cats the Advent calendar! I can’t wait for it to get here. 🙂
I hope the Feliway helps the cats get along better! It must be so disheartening to see them struggling to connect with little Ned.
Ugh, sorry about the reorganization at work and your changing role! That really sucks, as I know you are happy in this role. Do you know how much things will change yet? We are going through a reorganization as well, but it’s not going to affect my day-to-day role much, so that’s a relief!
Yay! Did you go with the box or tree one?
I hope so too. So far it’s not doing A LOT but I have barely had it plugged in a week.
I don’t know yet. And that is what I struggle with – the unknown! I am not sure what my new role will be or what team I will be on. I am glad your day-to-day is not being affected much! I bet mine won’t be a ton in the long run, but a portion of my job will go to someone else depending on which position I end up in.
I want a pair, were they expensive soooooo cute?
I tried to order you some two days later and they were sold out. They’re supposed to notify me when they are back in stock. They are $25 plus shipping.
Oh, team changes at work are so stressful. If I hear that someone with whom I work well is leaving, I stress out about it even if it’s an unfounded rumor! I also take one-off comments (e.g., “if they do X, I am out of here” at face value then fret about THOSE. When I find a group I fit with and work well with, I just want them to stay, even though I know that’s impossible. Sigh. I hope your situation works out well – yes, you’ll still have a job but hopefully you will still LIKE said job. 🙂
It’s hard not to feel anxiety when you hear those things, even if they turn out to be a rumor! We are programmed not to like change! And thanks. I will know where I end up in a month or two, and I hope I do like it!
