Surprise

     I had one pleasant surprise today that seemed somewhat outlandish. As I was turning the soil in my raised garden beds, prepping for the colder weather, I noticed little potatoes sprinkled everywhere. This abundance of food made my garden heart happy. I thought I had already dug everything up and stored them for future use. 

    Supper was amazing! I boiled the baby potatoes until they were done and in turn fried them in a butter salt mixture until golden brown. This is NOT a healthy meal and I only ate a few of them. It was such a satisfying cheat snack. 

    It's the little things in life that seem to make me the happiest!

The Teacher's Lie by Brid Cummings

     A book review at its finest. I think every book is worthy of a review, so here goes nothing. I think the overall story is worth your time, however, I feel like the person who read it aloud on audible did the book dirty. Her accent and weird pausing in the middle of sentences really threw me off as a reader. I actually went back and purchased a paper copy. The author kept me guessing throughout each chapter, but the book was slow moving. I would put it down often to just take a break.      I would give this book a 3 out of a 5 due to the pacing and sequencing of events in the plot. Do not listen to it on  Audible, because it's terrible and dry.

LGFCU to Civic Bank

      This transition or merger has driven me absolutely crazy. I hate it and cannot even fathom how everything will work out. As a customer, I'm so annoyed and the lack of answers by actual people is ridiculous. So, I guess it will be only online banking? With school, a toddler, and a small farm I have not had the chance to move everything over to a different bank. It wouldn't matter anyway, because I have a loan through them that will transfer to the Civic bank.      Ahhhh!  Today, our cards stopped working and I was so upset. I had forgot and didn't get money out of the ATM beforehand. They forget that some of us are over 30 minutes away from the nearest town! I guess cash is really KING! I just home all my automatic withdrawals don't mess up along with everything else. I have no idea how older people will get through this phase. Both my mom and grandmother don't even use computers and can barely operate their phones. Both of them have never even us...

Thanksgiving Week

       It's strange not going to work and having a few days off to spend with family. I'm very fortunate enough to have a job that allows family time. I have had jobs in the past that I missed all major holidays. Honestly, you cannot get that precious time back. I missed several holidays that I could have spent with my grandpa. I ate Thanksgiving dinners in the employee workrooms by myself while my shift partner ran the register. It's odd to think about how many families go through the same thing each year. Our family specifically buys everything prior to the holidays for this reason.
