LJ Idol Starts Again and Chickie Is Heading to Montana - Monday Blues

My writing competition is starting up once again, and yes, I signed up, even though I'm working for the next 8 days straight and have little time. Still, I love the competition, I've made several friends through it over the times I've joined, and I like a challenge. It just might be a bit MORE of a challenge than I really need at this point in my life. But ... LOL



The Rocky Mountains of Montana are stunning, and 
I really miss mountains. But, I traded mountains for 
lakes and rivers, and really don't regret the decision. 



Chickie and Chickie Mama left yesterday for Montana. It's not a major family reunion - they've had those in the past and it's a total zoo. This one is really just visiting family who live out there - no people flying in from here and there to join in the dance. I know Chickie is really looking forward to this. She'll have back surgery later this year and that will leave her flat on her back for up to six months. Obviously, she's trying to hold off until after we've closed, but her health may not permit it. We're working it day by day. 



The days will still pass, although it will be a 
bit harder to get everything done without 
Chickie's help. Still, we will persevere. 






Chickie being gone means I'm working with DH for all of the next few days. We have a challenging work relationship - we don't work together very well, although we have the same goals. I can count on Chickie to help people coming into the store before I have to get involved. I'm now the front person, and that limits the amount of actual work behind the counters that I can get done. *sigh*


So, a short post today. I have to get moving. I'm already running a little late and it's only 6:15 am! *sigh* Have an excellent day and I'll be back tomorrow. Slava Ukraini.
