I'm tired of chasing down customers who purchase training and then don't bother to schedule it, even after several "hey here's the link to book the next availability" reminders.
It's been 90+ days. Your contract said it had to be used within 60 days of purchase. FFS.

PEOPLE. When the accounting team reminds you in chat that you have until EOD to code your CC charges, you do NOT need to respond that "Mine are done".
This is the Teams chat equivalent of an email "Reply All" message.

Today I:
Baked cinnamon rolls
Made chicken would rice soup
Baked fresh bread
Fed and watered the chickens
Shoveled the side door stoop and steps
And now I am playing some mindless Palia, collecting butterflies and gardening. ❤️

Welp, I did it. I finally finished my first run of BG3. I started what, last August? Yeah, I was late to that party. And life life'd, as life does, and I admit- I didn't want it to end.
But I finally took the time tonight to finish.

Wow. Best we can figure after reviewing that kerfuffle was a crosscheck, a hook, AND an intentional boarding of Eriksson Ek- and NO CALL.
Jeez. These refs. Yikes.

First "snowstorm" of the season here in North Central MN.
Hubby's phone is BLOWING UP from his work group text thread.
Jeez. It's only a LITTLE storm (2"-4" predicted- might be a little closer to 6" as of this moment) but FFS people... It ain't no Halloween '91 Blizzard!

*singing* I MADE A PERFECT CHEESECAKE... DIDN'T EVEN CRACK ON THE TOP... (Two layer cheesecake- plain, with pumpkin on top- with a gingersnap crust)
Letting it cool, then into the freezer for Thursday!

Okay. Took a sumatriptan, felt a little better, asked for some help cleaning, and actually got quite a bit done despite feeling migraine-y.
I feel like overall it was a productive day.

I should be cleaning my house... Prepping for Thanksgiving...
But I have a migraine trying to take hold and my executive dysfunction is in full force.
At least I started the cranberry sauce.

TFW your mom calls you and leaves a 90 second VM and either she butt dialed and didn't realize it or didn't hang up the phone properly. 😁

It's been a long couple of weeks, work wise, and I'm still telling from KC's passing. I'm exhausted and my introvert soul just wants to go home and cry.
And tomorrow we're slated to go to the Veterans home to play bingo. I know I should, and I need to, but I'm just. So. Done. Right. Now.

I don't know what's harder:
Walking into work to see your work bestie's desk untouched 2 days after she passed unexpectedly;
Or:
Walking into work to see your work bestie's desk cleared out a week later.
They both suck. 😞
KC, I miss you. This sucks.

I hate this time of year- it's SO DARK all the time. It's only a little after 8pm and it feels like it should be 11pm.
I just want to hibernate.

Driving back to @crazygoatlawyer.bsky.social's place to pick up the tractor. Some precipitation- mostly flurries- and some is sticking to the windshield.
Hubs flicks on the wipers and it stays.
Him: "Huh. Frozen."
Both of us: "That's not good."

Home. Tired. Hungry.
Eating slightly stale wild rice blueberry pancakes and bacon, then going to take a nap.
Getting up at 330am 2x this week is NOT fun, but honestly I'm just glad I made it home without any delays or cancellations.
