Tuesday this and that

I received a call from the new notary that is coming tomorrow at 11am. She's from the nearby city....ya, that makes much more sense, LOL.  

I guess my boss was very busy yesterday. In the morning I messaged her to ask a payroll question about an employees time off. I finally heard back from her early afternoon and she said she'd been in a meeting since 6:30am. With the info she sent me I was able to run the payroll report and email it to her for reviewing. This was like 5 minutes later. No response. Finally, at 4:25 I messaged her that when she gets a chance to look at the register I emailed her, just message me and I'll get payroll submitted. She messaged back "oh, is payroll due today?" LOL. Yep - that's why I was asking and sent the register. haha.

I ordered this fake tallish plant from Wayfair ages ago. It's still on backorder and supposedly April shipping. I was thinking of just cancelling it, but really, I got too good of price on it! $47. Right now it's "on sale" on their site (but says out of stock) for $97. I'm also still waiting on my birdie lamp I ordered from LampsPlus.  

I can't remember if I mentioned this or not, but I got an email on Sunday from that mobile vet I had used for the dogs care. Due to not working, due to Covid, he is no longer in business. Several months ago he sent an email that he was only seeing pets for end of life emergencies, as he didn't want to get covid. I remember thinking boy, that must be hard to just basically stop working/income. It seemed to me he could have worked through this with some adjustments. He has this big mobile van, which is his "exam room", but typically, he would exam the pets in the house, just because they are more comfortable there. But, it seems like he still could have made the house calls. I could have stood 6 ft from his van door with either of my dogs and they would have gone right to him (especially with a treat, LOL) and he could have sent them back out when he was done. But, I guess he had his reasons. He sold the van, but not to another vet. He sold it to the Humane Society and they will just be using it to occasionally go into areas like where I live, where there is no vets, and do spays, neuters, shots. Bummer. I'm really not looking forward to having to haul the dogs in to the city again.

Not much else going on. My mom seems good and happy to be getting back to some activities and eating in the dining room. They have 3 floors, so alternate floors each day to eat in the dining room. I think exercise class starts back up today, but all along she continued to take a daily walk or two up and down the halls and even the stairs, so that is good.

I asked the cabinet lady for an estimate on when she thought we'd get the cabinet. I figured better to at least pin her down a little bit on a date, rather than just waiting months wondering. She said it should ship to her around 3rd week in April, which I think was about the time frame when we ordered all the other ones.

  1. People are making choices that work for them. I was just mentioning on another post that I am probably way to the far side on Covid conservative scale, where others are comfortable flying for vacations. I'm glad your mom is getting out a bit more.

    1. it's very sad that his choice had to affect his income and livelihood :(. I'm a bit more right of the middle with it all. I can do the masks, social distance, etc, and I do try to limit my exposure as much as possible by just staying home. One of my company owners is literally everywhere, LOL. (I see it on the credit card statement each month). I said to my boss, how has he not gotten covid? She said he did end up getting it.

  2. I remember your vet making that decision, and I figured he had had one too many folks ignore the rules/boundaries he had up - you're good with those things, whereas others definitely are not.

    It's a shame though, I hope he can find gainful employment. Glad to hear your mom is doing well!

    1. I had hoped it would be temporary for his business and now that the restrictions are lifting here in our state, along with people getting the vaccine, he could start up again.

  3. Maybe you could contact him and see it the vet has plans for your area. His business seemed like a good idea. I am glad your mother remembers her activities. They seem to be something she looks forward to doing.

    1. I did email the vet back and said that I was sorry to hear this news and did he know if the humane society was going to be using it for vet type visits and he replied back that they aren't.
