Is it wrong that my human side is really ready for church to be over tonight so I can rest? I don't know, my mind just seems so tired....
They finished painting the church sanctuary yesterday. Bought a new storage shed from a saint who'd bought it a year or so ago and doesn't need it. Gotta figure how to move it- the church has needed one for a bit. Down to remodeling fellowship hall, buy new commercial ice machine, update lady's bathroom and my office. One step at a time.
All the while keeping an eye peeled for property because a local developer has expressed interest in our building. I'd not be opposed to moving to a move visible location.
On the other hand- "I's tired, boss".

Been an interesting day.  I was originally on the schedule to go to the James Dean Festival early this morning to help out but we had a memorial service at the church that ended up with more in sound and media than Pastor could keep up with by himself.  I volunteered to stay in town longer and run the ProPresenter for the service so he'd have one less thing to juggle.  Ended up being a 2 hour service and we had a camera die on us 3 times.  I did eventually make it to the James Dean Festival but not till around 3 pm.

Glad it is Friday. Cranky. Sleepy. Mean Spirited. All describe me. Chey should be happy. Her new Iphone 15 came in today. I can tell no difference from the one she had.

Your perception is accurate. We have temporarily stalled and there is nothing really new in phones right now. But that doesn't make money.

And her peers would disparage her if she was behind the curve.

On the bright side, at least the status symbol is your phone now. Cheaper than a car.

Appointment timing went okay. I made the bad decision to get my flu shot yesterday while I was there. Now today I'm feeling like a painful zombie, but hopefully that'll mend itself soon. I didn't make it into work until almost 11am because I kept falling asleep and this horrid headache. My whole face hurts, haha. I'm supposed to leave tonight for Arkansas for a wedding tomorrow.

Welppp husband didnt get the Oklahoma job. But the DM wants to pay him an extra 5k plus relocation expenses to transfer to the Wichita Falls store. And revisit the promotion in another YEAR.... Sigh. Honestly he just needs to get away from the DM. The DM is the issue. He had several coworkers who are on special products tell him about an opening in an Indiana store. They would pay relocation but no raise. It would put us 2.4 hours from my family in Indiana. Idk what the answer is but bleh. I would need this Aetna job (or something else remote) to come thru though for either option.

I didn't sleep too well either. And I've been soooo tired. That thing they say about how you sleep better with your spouse cus the dopamine hits or whatever is sooooo true. Hubbs has been home since Tuesday and I just want to sleep all day. Him being home makes my heart feel at rest. And apparently my body too.

And yea you were brave making both appointments back to back Nelle LOL
I had a dr appointment at 3 myself. Waited until almost 345 before I saw her.

This morning I'm working on payroll. I wish I could've taken off today! I did NOT sleep well nor feel well, but I think I'm on the mend for the day. I have a doctor's appointment at 4pm to check my blood pressure progress (it hasn't done well lol) and at 5pm I have a dentist appointment for a cleaning. Hoping the first doesn't make me late for the second. I'm not sure what I was thinking having these both in the same day.

I need to call my hematologist's office to see if they got pre-authorization for this genetic blood lab they want me to have done. It's $1500 if I don't get my insurance to pay for it.. and I'm just not that interested in paying that large amount when she thinks I don't have anything major haha.

I feel you. I'm super picky and don't like onions in mine. We really like these mini cheddar meatloaves and I love the sauce (ketchup, dijon mustard and brown sugar). I didn't enjoy meatloaf days growing up, but I would've torn these up!

@Work. It's lunchtime, but I had a snack not too long ago, so now I'm not hungry for lunch.

Someone said cheddar so here I am.

Mini Cheddar Meatloaf

Ingredients
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup quick cooking oats
1 teaspoon salt
1 pound ground beef
2/3 cup ketchup
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons prepared mustard

Directions
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2) In a large bowl, combine the egg, milk, cheese, oats and salt. Add the ground beef, mixing well, and form this
mixture into eight miniature meatloaves. Place these in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
3) In a separate small bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar and mustard. Stir thoroughly and spread over each
meatloaf.
4) Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes.


I rarely get eight of them anymore, but I do shape them a little like a football. We often double the recipe for our home. I was able to share this recipe with my parents as well. Dad doesn't eat sugar, so we were able to use sugar-free (sugar alternative) items for him. They of course sometimes add onion to theirs, because they're pretty normal, LOL.
