A Mega Mug of Coffee

United States
December 1, 2020 9:15am CST
Happy Tuesday and the first day of December. Wow can't believe we're rounding the bend to the end of the year. I don't expect 2021 to magically be better than 2020 but this year has been very hard for all of us. Today we have a cloudy day and it's way better than the weather yesterday. I have lots to do today aside from the usual things that always need doing around the house. I want to at least start getting the ornaments on the tree even if I can't get it all done today. I started a new book and I can't wait to open the pages and get into the story. I'm working on a crocheting project and maybe I can do that while I catch up on a tv show or two. Tonight we're having pasta so that's a simple easy meal and won't take much time to make. My daughter went to work and is going to have a talk with her boss about going into the office. With the newest restrictions about Covid she doesn't feel comfortable going into the office so we'll see how that plays out. I'm sure he isn't going to be agreeable about her just working from home but who knows. He might find a moment to be human Before I get my day started I'm making chatting here a priority and enjoying my second cup of coffee. Anything fun planned with you today??

You have a lot to do over there today! Good that your daughter is speaking up - I hope her boss will be agreeable to letting her work from home. It's chore day here (well that's everyday ).

I'm hoping my daughters day goes well. Her boss isn't the most agreeable person. Chores are never ending but hope you find some time to relax today

I am glad that your daughter is going to have a talk with her Boss, it's not safe to go to work. If it was not already late afternoon I would get a coffee, I feel sleepy.

@Marilynda1225 Covid is spiking here in Switzerland now... I am not surprised, surely it is because of winter sports, too many tourists. I remember that your daughter has an annoying Boss.

Covid is spiking where my daughter works and I'm praying she can go back to working from home. He's not the most agreeable person so I'm not betting on his cooperation.

Well your daughters boss better get with the program and let her work at home. I could do with another cup of coffee but we shall see. Yes chatting here is the best. Have a great day Marilyn. I have to deal with some scammer issues today. Ugh

Her boss isn't the most agreeable person in the world and only puts his own needs first. Hope you have a good day and get your scammer issues resolved

Its miserable here and almost feels like it's going to snow. I'm not expecting any good news after my daughter talks to her boss. He's a grinch all year round Grilling steaks sounds yummy! I have a grocery order to place for an end of the week delivery.

@Marilynda1225 I guess we will be getting your weather sooner or later. Darn her boss! Too bad she has to go through this especially now. I wouldn't have ordered today, but needed a couple of things. They were out of almost everything else. Lucky my son texted me from Trader Joe's. He picked up what we needed. Of course, I will need another order on Thursday or Friday. It takes up so much time sanitizing everything.

I do hope that your daughter's boss finds it possible to let her work from home, it is safer. We're having hamburg casserole for supper. I remember making it about 20 years ago, and my hubby loved it so I started making it again, he still enjoys it. Its just browed ground beef mixed with golden mushroom soup, shredded cheese (and did I mention its healthy) and topped with tater tots in a casserole and into the oven. I can smell it now, it does smell good.

Your casserole sounds hearty and delicious. I need to get back into making casseroles. Working from home didnt go over well with the boss. He's still insisting on her coming into the office 2x a week What a jerk

Hope he acts lie a human. She can do the job from home so should be allowed.

She can work easily from home but that doesn't work for him. He likes to see people working and thinks if you're working from home you aren't working.

In England everyone is encouraged to work from home if they can, so I hope your daughter will be able to.
