I woke up way too early today, just before seven am but I’m still not tired so I do hope the tiredness doesn’t come too early because I need to stay up quite late since I’ll be working tomorrow. We had a rather nice morning here today, no wind, just below 0C (32F) and almost sunshine. We walked down to the creek and Alma behaved pretty well for most of the time.
Nova on the other hand is still pretty annoyed because she’s leashed and she really don’t like that. I’ve told her that if she can’t behave and come when I call her (and sign for her to come, I’ve always learned my dogs signs for different things since many of them lost most of their hearing when going old) she will be leashed whether she likes it or not 🙂 🙂 🙂
It is winter so I thought I should make lots of rice porridge, so I put the ingredients in the slow cooker and it was ready to eat when we came back from our walk to the bog later on. It takes around three hours to do it in the slow cooker but the risk of the porridge being burned is almost none to nothing. It takes at least an hour if doing it on the stove and then it just takes one mistake and the porridge will burn 🙂 🙂 I made the porridge a bit sweeter today because I was also longing for cookies 🙂 🙂 To make it even sweeter I also put some jam in it just before eating it, no craving for cookies after eating that 🙂 🙂 🙂
I have however not done the laundry and no dinner for next week at work. I just didn’t want to to be honest. So I’ll do the laundry tomorrow before work and I’ll see what I can find in the freezer, I think I have meatballs and sausages in there and I can add an egg or two and perhaps some pasta or potatoes as well. It’ll be exciting to see how many that will turn up to work tomorrow, there are still a few people that weren’t sick last week so it might be their turn now.
The fox came for several visits last night again. I did cheat and put out some dog food but it still moved a bit too fast so most photos were blurry. I’l see what I can do about that tonight, I’ve placed the camera a bit lower this time and I’ll place the dog food in one place and not just throw it out like I did yesterday. The reason I just threw it yesterday was because I had two dogs that would have loved to eat it and I had to do it while they were busy with other things 🙂 🙂 🙂
I talked with a friend on the phone today and told him about my new hours. He has been a boss in several big grocery stores and he said those hours sounded horrible and only people one want to get rid of would get hours like that 🙂 🙂 🙂 Well at least I don’t have to work Fridays when it starts 🙂 🙂 🙂
Have a great day!

I have to admit that your friend’s comment was my first thought too when I read your new hours. They are really crappy. Especially in winter.
Nova does look a bit disgruntled in that photo of the three dogs.
Teaching the dogs some signs is a great idea. I taught Piki Dog a sign for sit. He will respond to it most of the time especially when I’m filling his food bowl. Rocky knows the sign, too, but his response is iffy. He stares at me for a few seconds and then he slooowly sinks his tail to the ground. He’s only doing it because there is a cookie in it for him, if he does.
The sun was out today and it did take the edge off the suddenly much colder weather. The wind died down a lot, too, which helped.

Hi Caryn!
Normally I would agree too but they do need us and I guess someone complained about having to work every second Friday so they fixed it this way. A stupid way but none the less the Friday problem is fixed 🙂 🙂 🙂
Nova is really grumpy these days but if she decides to ignore me this is what happens, even if she’s 17 years old 🙂 🙂 🙂
Albin and Nova do usually follow the signs, Alma however might know them and doesn’t care or can’t figure out what I mean, she’s smart but not clever if You understand what i mean 🙂 🙂 🙂
Grey and dull again and a bit windy so it is anything but nice outdoors.
Have a great day!
