Hi again

Hey there. Sorry I haven't been blogging for a month. Not much happening. August 15 was my sister and husband 25th Anniversary. They took a 2nd honeymoon to Niagara Falls. Went shopping for new baby and Mom freaks I bought too much. Anything more than 1 outfit is too much. I got extra discounts so more than 1 outfit was desired. Took niece and nephew to the zoo and had a great time. Then returning home my sister flips out I bought them toys when she said no more. Sorry, sister neglected to inform me of that. Sister accuses kids of taking advantage of my kindness and shuns me for spending money them when Mom is supporting me. Excuse me, my sister failed to give me money for our zoo tickets. Well, I'm not babysitting for free anymore if sister is going to get angry every time I take her kids anywhere. Kids started school so hopefully sister won't ask for weekend babysitting since I work weekends. She tends to forget that fact. So faraway aunt who desperately wanted to visit for my birthday actually failed to visit on my birthday. On my birthday, I sat alone with 2 cats in my apartment and watched TV all day. I know that is as close to a vacation I'm going to get. Instead, it was a Labor Day weekend visit. She saw the new baby (I worked so couldn't come along) and we had a birthday dinner at a fast food place w/out cake cause kids were being punished for bad behavior. Happy Birthday to me. My retail store hired a bunch a people for the Back to School Season. New people had issues coming to work. Funny, they were kept on the schedule instead of removed so we were short on employees needed to do a job well done. They kept dropping like flies and hardly any are left. Now the upcoming Christmas season coming, they are interviewing people again. Hope they get more reliable new people this time. Ceiling leaking every time it rains continues. Painters came to cover water damage on the ceiling. My cat Frodo was in the cat tower when they arrived. He scared the painters when he meowed and jumped down. He hid under the couch for 3 hours. I looked everywhere for him. Had to pet him to reassure him that it was safe to come out. Found a coupon for a discount at a coming circus. Niece and nephew don't really like stinky animals and think anything that is not TV is boring. So won't be going. What a shame. Thought of joining a gym to exercise since I sprained my ankle last May and muscles need exercising. Costs too much so will stay in my living room. Much cheaper. But then every time I stretch my ankles, my sore ankle hurts for days. Doesn't help that my job requires standing on my feet 8 hours (not allowed to sit down). Have to stop eating turkey sandwiches. My cat Precious pulled the lunchmeat right out from between the bread slices. Once it hits the cat hair covered carpet, I'm not sure I want it back. Now Frodo has to join the feast. Took Frodo to the vet for his annual shots. He hissed his protest being poked in the butt and vet was afraid of him. Explained he is always like this, just scruff him. He is in good health at 14.9 lbs. Found out niece has quit ballet and started gymnastics after watching the Olympics. She is 9 and can't do a cartwheel so she better learn fast is she's to become another Gabby Douglas. Had a coworker drive by my apartment complex and saw me walking my dog. I had to explain that was my cat. Precious is so big (21.7 lbs) that people often think he is a dog. Got our xmas stuff out in my retail store. And yep, people are buying xmas ornaments and picture frames. No trees gone through the cash registers yet. I'm not ready for xmas. If you have not fallen asleep yet then I will conclude that I recently bought Halloween greeting cards for my family and preparing them to be mailed atthe 1st of October. Early bird gets to cuter cards. Later.
