The Truth About HR, After 38 Years in the Field

Well, here she is, the Truth about HR, after 38 years in the field. I have TWO more coming out, on how it impacted me, and tips for survival, lol. You can watch The Truth about HR HERE.

Weekly Update:

So we are having a busy but fun little week this week. I think I will bullet point it. 🙂

• We had burgers on Memorial Day. I fixed potato salad to go with. George grilled the burgers. I love grilled food but he does not love to grill. lol I did not bother Mom to come over as 1). Her company had just left and 2) I know she was tired 3) She has said for last month she is tired of hamburgers and doesn’t want any more. So we honored that request, lol.
• Made a dermatologist appointment, and made a mammogram appointment
• Made a French chicken dish last night, which George says could be a family favorite (make again and again). The sauce was heavenly. Olive oil, shallots, fresh mushrooms, white wine, chicken broth, thyme, and poured over and baked with the chicken. Served with steamed broccoli, carrot, and squash, and steamed in the chicken broth and butter, with salt, pepper, and onion powder. YUM!
• George is continuing to work in the den on the cracks filling it in with a compound of sorts and then spackling on top. I’m filming it to be its own video.
• I’ve been working on the hallway pictures, and refusing to add much to my list until it’s finished. The pics came in from Shutterfly, and I ordered wall art to go amidst the collage of photos. I had a bunch of frames collected from yard sales. It wasn’t enough so we went downstairs and found a few more. I still need a couple. I also ran out of little nails to hang them with. We are going out today and will pick those up. I went to Hobby Lobby and bought more wall art pieces and had to return some of the things back to Amazon due to lousy quality. I’ve been filming all this as part of my weekly vlog this week, and it’ll be posted a couple of weeks from now.
• We got George’s flights booked to TX. So now we are both booked for our extra trips.
• My fingernail dip cracked on the corner of my thumb as I guess my nails are brittle, and the nail had cracked underneath too and it’s trying to break off into the quick. It hurts like hades. It’s the part of my thumb I use the most. I put a bandaid on my thumb so I would quit bumping it, and it hurting so bad, but then do you realize how often you use your thumb to use the touch screen on your phone? OMGosh! We go the salon tomorrow and I’m looking forward to them fixing this, but then again is it going to kill me when they put the acetone on it? Probably.
• We are going to the dump today and also to Good Will. And to check out the Seafood shop in Mount Juliet that we heard is good. I guess they fly the seafood in? We’ll find out I guess. The goal is to buy shrimp but if I know George he will want a lobster roll. We hear they are good there.
• I’m going to try to finish the photo wall today. And end the vlog for that.
• Going to try to finish my current editing of my exercise program. Have to week out some footage as it’s too long. I want the video done before I got to bed tonight.
• I also have some transferring over for files to do which takes longer with the camera/memory cards, and my old Mac.
• Final Cut Pro crashed on me yesterday but I finally got my timeline back. It scares me every time. I’m trying to hold out on a Mac as long as I can.
• Oh I bought scrap book and some cute sheets of paper to decorate with for my scrap book I am going to do. The brand I bought was 40% off yesterday at Hobby Lobby.
• Finally finished up the filing cabinet project downstairs: Emptied out all my files down there. Now I just need to shred things. But I separated into these bins: trash, scrapbook, file for upstairs. I threw away work stuff, old pet vet records, old check stubs from years ago (we still have our tax records, final w-2s), old trip information.
• I have lunch with my old boss and friend Deb on Friday if all goes well, to catch up with her.

I guess that is all the news I have really. Just been really busy somehow trying to do all the projects, on top of laundry, cleaning house etc. It’s shocking how fast the day goes and how I didn’t get all that much done. But I am exercising most days, getting the housework done, taking my Blood Pressure readings twice a week, working on goals, getting to read some, watch some, do YouTube, and so forth.

Truth be known, I’d love to have more reading time and more time to work on things in my office. I’m shocked that I can’t still fit it all in. I of course spend about 30 min a day in the mornings reshuffling all the “to do”s back and forth on my iPhone reminder app, all in order as to how I want to do it so the most critical things and most important things get done. Spiritual and exercise usually come first, then housework. That takes most of the morning. Shower and get ready then projects in the afternoon. Plus eating meals takes time. I don’t know how we worked, lol.

Alright. Over and out. If you want the link again to view the video you can watch it HERE.
