Holiday in Retail

So my last blog was November 17th. The start of a wonderful Holiday Season. Well that season is over. I got what I wanted for Christmas, spent time with family and did not have to work on Christmas Day. What more could I ask for? A NEW JOB!! 
What a crazy time of year to work in retail. I have been with Walgreens for 3 Christmas Seasons and by far this was the worst of them all. I'm not sure if it was my boss or the customers (Probably my boss), but it was the most tiring part of the my life. One thing retail does is takes away your since of time. Your always planning ahead and so you can never enjoy the present. You spend time with your family and enjoy the time you spent, but then you have to work and that just takes every joyful feeling away. It's not that bad. I just wanted to vent a little. I know that Christmas is about remembering Christ and his birth and I am grateful for that and my job.
Well a lot of other stuff has happened. Robyn and I are still looking forward to our house being finished in March. They have laid the Concrete for the Basement and Driveway. Now this week they are framing. We go by a couple time a week and take a look to see the progress they have made. We are ready to have our very own place. Robyn and here decorating mind are going crazy with ideas and I just excited to be able to find all my stuff once it is unpacked. It's kinda hard living out of boxes. Both Robyn and I are excited for the Shortened Commute we will enjoy every day.
Harley, our 7 Month old dog is doing great. She is big. We gave her a tranquilizer for Christmas Eve, this is because we didn't want her jumping all over people. After that she looked like she got ran over by a car. Her eyes were all saggy and she could barley walk. She did great though. This morning Robyn said to me "I think you have a problem." She informed me that I like Vacuuming too much. It maybe true. Its a stress reliever, but I replied "we have a dog." FYI to all those who desire a large breed dog. Get a Good vacuum!! We have a nice Bissell that works great. I vacuum about every three days and I get a container full of dog hair. Make sure you get a vacuum an attachment that turns your house into a  mini vacuum ( I don't know what it's called). That has been a life saver, especially on couches, and in cars.
Well a new year is coming. So I better end today.
