The plan is to work from home through next week. The company will figure out the next plan sometime before that ends. Honey's company is shutting the down next week, they have to use vacation. Merr, I did download the below to my Kindle a couple of weeks ago. I'm saving it for a rainy day. Someone, Another Lady, who wrote their version of the book, or the "finishing" version. I know it's different from the series, which I do need to watch. I want to see the new Emma, I just don't want to pay for it. Sanditon: Austen's Last Novel Kindle Edition by Jane Austen (Author), Another Lady (Author) 4.3 out of 5 stars 146 ratings I've got just the chapters that Jane Austen wrote that I'd like to read. I might read that one you have as well. Does hubby work for a qualifying company that is required to pay him 2 weeks worth of pay if under a mandated quarantine, which MI is under now right? Two weeks is better than none. We have an employee who decided he is self quarantining and wants his 2 weeks of pay for it. I just learned that he can only do that if he has a doctor's note though, which I doubt he has. He's the type that is doing it to get 2 weeks paid without having to work. He made sure to send us something noting that we can't fire him for doing it and we have to pay him and then he stopped answering his phone and texts. I'm waiting to hear back from our HR to see what we should do. I'm sure they are extremely busy.

HR department has said we don't have to pay our self-quarantining employee because he doesn't meet the requirements. Also heard through the grapevine, that he's planning on getting this 2 weeks of pay and then quitting. I think this is our 3rd time employing him and it will definitely be our last. We only hired him again because one of our good employees vouched for him and claimed he changed. Good employee is so pissed at him right now, but we've assured good employee that his job is not in jeopardy at all.

How stupid to do that when you can't even look for work right now. People can be low and try to take advantage of others when times are bad.

I haven't heard you talk of any lately. We do have a kitty. Alexander. He came from the Humane Society and they named him. We decided not to change it. He really is a character - loves to bite, which we're working on and play. He also is a talker, which I love. I'm working this week. Hope your family is well.

Alexander!! My cats are officially used to me being here all the time. No matter where I am, what I am doingβtime for a head scratch! Belly Rub!!!!! What are all these papers and cords ?!! Now that I've been under quarantine for a while my dreams are starting to take an oddly familiar tone! The same backgrounds, the same people. LOTS more "late for class" dreams!

I had a dream the other night that I was going to my high school classes and in about 5th period my teacher told me that I wasn't in that class and needed to check with the office. I went to the office to ask if my schedule had been changed without me knowing and they required that I pay $3 for a new copy of my class schedule, but I didn't have any money. The way around this was to come to the office between each class to ask them what my next class was supposed to be. So weird.
We are working on getting back into our "home school" schedule after having a week off for Spring Break. I'm being lazier than the kids are.

I'm trying to find my college registration office and yet I'm walking around my junior high hallways. Are your kids connecting with their teachers digitally? Or is it all "homework-based" e-learning? Like walking yourself through a software self-help training program?

I'm a routine oriented person, so this has been difficult to wrap my head around. In consequence, my dreams have been of an "escaping" type, always running, hiding, sort of a mystery feel to them. They are as if I'm in a puzzle, or needing to solve a puzzle.
I think I need to work harder on trying to find a calm.

One thing I need to stop doing; I fall asleep about 8:00. Wake up about midnight and then read until 3:30-4:00 and then try to go back to sleep. It's becoming a habit and is causing me issues during the day, energy issues.
At least I'm still showering. I've heard a lot of people are letting showers go. Although, I could use with a hair coloring - ugh!! Not pretty.

I'm starting to take "short" afternoon naps that are growing longer and longer... and it's taking me longer and longer to fall asleep at night. Gotta break that!!!!!!!!

We got the official word we knew was coming that the kids will be online learning for the rest of the school year. My kids teachers have all been pretty lazy and have just been sending busy work for them to do. No zoom classes or recorded video lectures or anything. This entire quarter is useless. Maybe now they'll try a little harder for the last 6 weeks of school? We sort of have a routine set up for the kids, but I don't make them follow it very well. They only spend an hour or so (Emily spends more) on school work each day. Maybe I need to push harder for a more rigid schedule these last 6 weeks? I've gotten lazier too so I'm trying to get back to a normal schedule the best I can to make sure that work and house stuff is all getting done. Last night I had a dream we went camping (in a new, fancy camper) and Kevin spent HOURS trying to get the thing perfectly level.

It is really difficult to keep up a routine. I've been trying as well and it's just not working.
Our dreams are certainly interesting. Merr, are you looking to buy a new camper?
I dreamt about Big Foot. I assume it's because I saw the Progressive commercial yesterday.
We had snow yesterday and today. It amounts to nothing, but it's just Michigan for you.

Not looking to buy a new camper, but I sure would love to get out there and use ours. The weather hasn't gotten warm enough yet, which is ok. Kevin is working on projects on the cabin that need to get done because he's rented a fork lift, so we're getting stuff done so we don't have to keep paying for the lift.
Hopefully next month with be warm enough. Ours highs have only been near 50 for the past few weeks. The kids are itching to get outside, but it needs to get just a little bit warmer.

I'm having a hard time finding dishwasher pods online. I have them set up with my amazon subscribe and save, but they can't fulfill my order this month. I tried to find something else on their site and they are out! Walmart.com is out as well! I'm going to have to venture out to the store and hope they have some. Seems like an odd thing to be out of stock.
