Before Bob gets up

Before Bob gets up I think I shall watch one of the hour long videos in my course work. It is not that he interrupts, because he does not. I just will take the time for a second cup of coffee and maybe spend a little time with him when he gets to be awake. Bruno made sure I did not sleep any later than 6 this morning. When we sit outside the kitties like to play and wrestle right where we can watch them. I have some fish to bake, but I want to do that early, because it heats up the house. Hope you are having a marvelous Monday. Not trash pick up today because it is Juneteenth. It marks the emancipation of the slaves.

You get up early and get so many things done before Bob gets up. Do you do so every morning ?

Even as a child or teen I frequently got up early. Bob needs at least one more hour than I do to sleep.

@changjiangzhibin89 He often chooses to eat something different than what I have, but we buy what he likes and what is easy for him.

Isn't it interesting that all these holidays are given to African Americans and yet not one holiday is given to those First Americans who were wrongfully killed?

Some people have switched from Columbus Day to First People's Day. We recognize many nationalities,and yes, we seem to add new holidays all the time.

@rebelann Because mostly I think the "First People" are quiet and get about their business and we do not hear from them. They are also more assimilated, whether that is good or bad. You do not hear of gangs of "Indians" roaming the streets, and we have very few of "us" (yes, I am a card carrying Chocta) in politics to draw attention to us. Honestly I do not know why we favor one group over another. I know the biggest "uproar" I hear about is using native American mascots. I personally do not find it offensive and actually the people I know who yell about it most are not tribal at all and as far as they know have no native blood. We still own our own lands. We build preschools, nursing homes, businesses and casinos. We get even by way of our casinos and take money from everyone.

Since there's already a Martin Luther King holiday then why not set up memorial days for First People like Sitting Bull or Jeronimo etc, they fought hard for their tribes in the face of unbeatable odds.

He actually got up, realized that I was wrong about the trash and got it out. I did my online stuff, both here and for the course work. When I finish the training I will be a Registered Behavioral Therapist.

@AmbiePam Mostly this gives me the words for the things I do. It explains all the nuances. I like the videos better because it makes the interactions look really fun.

@GardenGerty Yay! Do you feel like you already knew most of what you've gone over?

The cat of my neighbors is very vocal, at 5:30 a.m. is on our window screaming to let me know that they are waiting for their breakfast.

I hope the training videos aren't too boring. I always hated the training videos at Walmart. I would almost fall asleep watching them. Pretty and I will go grocery shopping this morning. I hope you have a good day.

They are not boring. Mostly I am learning the official names for things I have done all along. I do still fall asleep if they are too long. I think it is mostly just soothing.

@GardenGerty The training at Walmart dealt with Missouri laws that I've had to know to work in stores most of my life.

@DaddyEvil I think I left Wal Mart before they started the training video requirements. That tells you how long ago it was for me.

I was wrong. Hubby saw that the neighbor put his out, and he works for the city, so he would know. Bob hustled and got ours out.

For me that would be more trouble. It only took about 35 minutes to cook. It came out good.

I am enjoying it. I am learning some things or formalizing what I already know with the right names.

Turns out we had trash pick up after all, but Bob saw that the neighbors had their trash to the street and he got ours ready as well.

Yesterday I got my pajamas I ordered. They fit. I did some more on my paint by number. I also cleaned out my sock drawer.

Our trash company didn't say pickup would be delayed because of Juneteenth. I hope you and Bob have a good day.

I was mistaken. Ours was not either. It is a Federal holiday, banks are closed.
