From my house to yours, Merry Christmas! I know it has been a while since I updated my blog. Unfortunately, I have had to work on Saturday a few times to make up for what I would loose in my check. Many of you can relate to what I am saying with the economy the way it is.
Well, what has been going on. Work is very rewarding. I am enjoying my job very well. My supervisor has changed my job in hardware from taking care of compressors and air tools to all of the hand tool bays. Basically, she has increased my duties and responsibilities to take care of more merchandise. It usually takes me all day long to get through my area, but I am learning about many tools we carry, and of course, customer service is number one, so taking care of the customers is top on the list. It has been a really bummer having to work the extra time because of not being at HD for 90 days yet. I would have been at Covidien 10 years in January and had 4 weeks vacation.
With it being Christmas, I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Click on this link for a gift from me. http://www.jacquielawson.com/viewcard.asp?code=0212320003.
Christmas was different this year, no snow, 80 degrees and sunny. Christmas eve was strange for me. Usually my family would spend the evening together and open gifts to each other, have finger foods and enjoy each others company. This is the first year in 52 years that I did not spend it with my family. This holiday holds special meaning for me because it was my moms favorite holiday and she always made it special. I now have a new life and must make new triditions. I still miss the family at this time of year, but life must go on.
The house is coming along slowly. My friends Diana and John were down with the dogs to visit for a week. It was so good to see them again. They were looking for a house down here and found a few. They can not really move until they get their home sold upstate. When they left last Friday, they headed right back in to a storm. They left sunshine and 80 degree weather here to go back to the snow. It was the first vacation they have had in a very long time, and I think they really enjoyed themselves. Diana unfortunately broke her nose from a fall, but she was a trooper and the week went on. They hope to get the home sold soon, we will see. I have some pictures of it on the blog site so take a look. If you know anyone who is looking, send them Century 21's way. I think they are asking 215,000 for it, and it is worth it too.
I hope everyone plans a special day with the people you care about. Let all your friends and family know how much you care, the will be a day that comes and you will regret you did not say anything to them.
I wish every one a Very Merry Christmas and thank you for being part of my life, you truly are a blessing to me.
As always you all remain in my thoughts and prayers. Please stay safe, healthy and happy.
Love to all, Jo
