but.....KAMALA HARRIS!!!! Am I right??!?!?
Beyond that, life is incredibly stressful and incredibly boring all at once. What a friggin lazy assed summer. We have done nothing fun, all I've done is basically doom scrolling up until Biden handed off the reins to Kamala, where I now "excitement scroll"...is that a thing?
We are planning a big beach wedding weekend in September, for his niece's wedding. I think having weddings like this ask an incredible amount from people; in stress, wasted money, etc. After our disaster of a Vegas weekend away in the winter, he's worried and totally killing the vibe. Beyond the fact that he now decides he doesn't need a job (basically having a tantrum because boss is on vacation and boss' kid thinks he runs the show), I'm worried.
He didn't go to work on Friday after spending all night stress cleaning his garage and now says "don't worry, I'll have the "rent money".....ONE thing, it's not rent (unless you decide to break your lease and move on out- or get evicted), another thing.....we all remember what happened when he told me for a YEAR that we'd have our down payment on the mortgage, don't worry). Until THAT MORNING when my mother decided to save our ass and gift us the down payment)....he had been planning on borrowing it from boss. Until boss told him "sorry, can't do it".
But we don't talk about that one.
Anyway, at this point, flights are booked and paid for. Park and Fly is booked/reserved. Room is booked (not yet paid). That's the thing: we're staying at Sleep Inn on the Beach in Orange Beach Alabama. I originally booked a cheaper room with a boulevard view. I've heard nothing but complaints about "not even having a beach view". Little does he know I've actually booked a Gulf view room at his statement that no one had ever truly surprised him.....so, SURPRISE! He'll walk in to a gulf view room with a balcony. But of course, that room is way more expensive and CAN be cancelled up until the day before. I really don't want to have to cancel anything.
We have our clothing. Have our "something blue" gift (an embroidered handkerchief with bride and groom's name...."for your happy tears" with the date. We have our park n fly....still need to book our shuttle from airport to hotel (and back). But beyond that....all we need is cash for tips and souvenirs and other incidentals. I think we're otherwise set.
But still.....leave me hanging on money stress. I'm just hoping Monday comes around and he realizes he's being silly and goes to work. Friday is payday and I'm expecting his half!
********************************************************************
Beyond all of this, work is okay. But I watch our beloved cooperative turn corporate and it's so hard. I'm considered what they call "a legacy" employee now. The aren't many OG Croppies (cropp/cooperative region of organic producer pools) employees). So even with that.....jobs teeter on the brink. All of our old upper management is gone, (all mysteriously "retired") and you never hear about employees or anything. With our new hybrid work people do not even need to meet anymore. COVID totally changed the world.....but I am finally feeling the respect I've wanted for years. Even my boss will ask questions about the event properties and asks me to deal with finding/deleting from inventory since the guys have no idea HOW or WHERE.
Bryan is semi retired now, working only Mon-Wed. Kevin is on his way toward that soon, so what happens after? Mitch and I cannot run the Cropp II show togetherk some events are just too large for 2 people to handle pulling and preparing.
But I'll cross that bridge when I have to. Did I tell you my daughter Zoe is giving my first granddaughter a sister? Due in early november....so if it's anything like Daisy, Zoe will go mid October lol. 2 birthdays in October!
