This has been a year+ of overworking myself. Thankfully, it will soon be coming to an end as we transition out of our position with Athens Foods, one of our last 2 clients. We will keep Mrs. T's Pierogies until around November. Of course, Gene can always change his mind and resign them earlier. We have been working with Mrs. T's since Gene started his own business in 1996. While I have only met one person from the corporate office in person, I feel like I am a part of their family. Of all of our clients we have had over the years, I can truly say, Mrs. T's is a family oriented business. They take very good care of their employees plus, they are also very community minded. Good to know businesses like them still exist in this bottom dollar world.
I am still looking for another place of employment, knowing God already has something for me. I just need to do my part, which is the looking. With the backing of 2 CPA's and some friends, I will supplement my income with bookkeeping. I do not do taxes and prefer not to do payroll. The CPA's said I should just to the data entry part of bookkeeping. One of the CPA's has some clients that need someone just to come once a week and do data entry into QuickBooks. When I am ready, he will introduce me to them. The downside is that they are a 1-2 hour drive away. I know God will work something out.
I have been on a 2 week vacation; a 2 week working vacation I should say. It has been nice not going into the office but I am looking forward to the time I can actually have a vacation and not have to work during it.
Waylon outdid himself cooking for Christmas. We had brisket, glazed in Dr. Pepper Texas Style BBQ sauce, smoked on the grill. My family likes the outside of the brisket to be blackened and crispy. Talk about yummy!!! We also had grilled corn on the cob with chipotle butter and I made some Green Chili Cheese Bread. We ate until we were, as Waylon put it when he was little, "full as a dog tick".
For New Year's, Waylon is grilling baby back ribs and pork chops. Not sure what sauce he will use or what sides we are going to have this time. So glad we are going to have some good weather tomorrow.
In between office work, I have taken the time to reorganize the office space in my bedroom. I have been using a small closet in my room to hold office supplies and pantry items (no pantry in my kitchen). I bought a nice basket cabinet and now my office supplies have a home of their own and the pantry has room for all the BBQ sauce that is coming.
I made one more quilt, have 3 more to go. At least the last 3 are not rush items. I will try to get one more done before heading back to the office on Monday.
Today I travel to Davey's to do his month end work. I decided to go today instead of tomorrow. I just hope he gets off work early enough that I can make it back home before Austin's New Year's eve traffic hits. Tomorrow, after I download the daily reports and process them, I can have the rest of the day off, as Walmart and our clients offices will be closed. Do I hear a hallelujah?????
Well, I am already well into my day and need to get more done. It was nice stopping by and blogging. I miss it.
Happy New Year to you all. May God continue to bless us that we may be a blessing to others.
