RETIREMENT

Thursday, November 12th was my last day with Central Billing Office.  I’ve been working for Tracey there since 2014, except for 11 months when we moved to Idaho Falls.  Devin and I decided that it was time for me to be home full time with Tanner.  I am so dang excited to be home with him that I can’t even stand it.  That doesn’t mean that I am sad about leaving my job though.  I was a baby when I started working there.  Devin and I had only been married for 3 months, and I hadn’t even turned 20 yet.  They helped me raise Tanner and he has so many “aunts” at CBO.  

I started out my first week being home by being tested for COVID.  A client whose nails I did at the beginning of the month messaged me saying that she tested positive for COVID.  I have felt a little weird.  I can’t taste or smell anything.  Honestly, I’m not sure if I can’t smell/taste because I feel like if I have COVID I shouldn’t be able to, or if it’s just due to a cold.  My brother Kendal thought he had COVID, but his test came back negative last week.  As did my mom and my dads.  My mom’s had cold-like symptoms for the last two weeks.  I’m really praying it’s just a cold.  I’ve felt relatively fine other than I’m tired.  But again, all cold-like symptoms.  Hopefully I will have my results back in the morning.  

Tanner and I took our 4th load of leaves to the dump today. I cannot believe how many freaking leaves are on my lawn.  Bless Devin and all the other years that he’s cleaned them.  Sweet mother of Moses you can’t even understand how many leaves have fallen off of my trees.  Last weekend D gave me one little lesson on how to back a trailer and now I’m basically a pro.  Haha! Not, but really, I’m proud of myself for learning how to back a trailer!  After being married to a farmer for 7 years now, you think I would have learned sooner.  But in D’s defense, I dont have a wonderful track record right now with driving his truck for him to trust me to do it.  LOL! Two Saturday’s ago, I backed the truck into the plow up at Dry Lake.  Then last Saturday, I totally scraped his truck on the mailbox.  I can’t win with this new truck!  I’m so used to just driving my car that I have misjudged distances that last couple of times. Oh well.  Nothing I can do about it now.

I’m excited to be home more now and hopefully be able to keep up with my blog and other things that I want to do.
