Hello friends and Hivians. Hope all is well. It's been a bit since my last post. I've been busy with work and been busy in good ways as well. Both have contributed to some inactivity here. In my last post I mentioned that November is a busy month for me. There's many birthdays and of course family celebrations. I haven't really had any dull moments yet this month.
One thing I wasn't expecting was a busy work schedule. Most days at my full-time job have been crazy. I've been either processing cargo or loading aircraft. I had a busy start to the month and the schedule is pretty full the rest of the month.
This week already started on Sunday. I worked from 3:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and again Monday morning from 1:00 a.m. to 4:45 a.m. That was rough schedule as I didn't have much notice. At least I fell asleep pretty quickly once I got home.
Above is some cargo we had to process today. The process took almost the entire workday to accomplish. This cargo we be loaded onto two C-17 aircraft later this week.
As of right now, I have the standby work phone the week of my birthday (18th thru 25th). That week we have a handful of arriving aircraft coming in at at all times of the day and night. Even two on my actual birthday. So far nothing falls on Thanksgiving Day (28th). Hopefully it stays that way because I have plans to visit my Mother and Sisters who live out of town.
Well I haven't been delivery driving in quite some time. There is a new delivery driver I have taken under my wing, my son. It was a Thursday and we did a short run of just a little over an hour. He made three deliveries and made close to $30. I'll report more on this when we both have a bit more time. I've really only stratched the surface with him. He did well for his first time though.
I've been to 3 of my son's basketball games this month. He is currently a red shirt Freshman. If you don't know what that is let me explain. He gets to practice and travel with the team but does not get to play in games. His scholarship still pays for all of his academics this year and basically gets an extra year of school paid for and this year doesn't count against his basketball eligibility. Next year he will be a true freshman as far as athletics goes.
I've been busy no doubt but this past Friday I had the day off and had some "Me Time." Yes, I get pedicures and this one was one of the better ones I have got. The technician was thorough and was not in a hurry. I also got hair cut previous to this.
I also have been out fishing a few times this month. I've been targeting trout and I have caught a few. One of the places I fished at I could see down in the water and bit. It was cool to see autumn (via fallen leaves) in the water and some snail shells on top of them. Open water fishing will be ending soon as Winter is looming.
I have enjoyed some good old homemade food made with love. This is some of the dishes I have been enjoying. I can't take credit as this was made by a friend (officially more than a friend ☺️). Not going to give it a relationship tag but there is defintely something there. Been on a few outings together and really enjoy the company. Even went fishing with me which was a first for me. Didn't catch any fish but we ended up going for a nature walk and enjoyed lunch together.
I had a small part in the stir-frying. Alright I mostly observed, it was all her 😆 She wanted me to watch and learn as she did her thing. It was a fun activity and it made the meal all that much better 😋
My brothers birthday is in a couple of days. I won't be able to celebrate with him as he lives across the country from me. My sister called me this weekend and told me she was talking to my brother's wife. Apparently she is going to purchase him a week trip (birthday present)to Califirnia and to Las Vegas for a few days in February. She invited us to meet up with them in Las Vegas. My two sisters, my mother, and myself are all planning to surprise him in Las Vegas. It should be a good time as I'm so for leaving some cold weather in the Midwest for warmer Las Vegas temperatures.
Yes a busy month so far a lot of work hours but some good busy as well. Oh and a big presidential election here, not going into that though. Hopefully the rest of the month will have a good balance as it has so far. Crossing fingers I'll be able to go home for Thanksgiving holiday.
Well this has pretty much been my November so far. Take care, stay safe and have a great week ahead. Until next time!
Good to see your son learning how to earn bucks to help you with expenses 😊
And I see you pampering. You should do it more often hehe..

Yes, he likes the idea of driving around earning money, hehe. He needs the cash not only for gas but for road trip money when he travels with his basketball team.
Yes, been busy enough to not have all that much time to write. I will say it's been a balancing thing being busy working and doing things enjoyable. It's great to get some time to interact here. Hope some of your busy time is good, maybe you need some pampering, hehe.

Despite being busy, good thing you still have the chance to self-pamper. It seemed I needed to have the foot spa, pedicure, and manicure as well. Best regards. !LUV

Wow so many things really! But at the end somehow all things are done even a personal time that is so good, because you enjoy it even more! Hope the work schedule will be less busy and you have more time for birthdays celebrations!
In my case I expected to be busier this month but due to the floods I have now online lessons which save me a lot of time, almost two hours going and coming back.
Anyway, still enjoy your happy November month amigo!!!😊💖

Thanks Amiga 😃 Yes very busy this past two weeks, it will be much of the same the rest of the month.
Well it's good you save time traveling but not so much because of the circumstances. Enjoy the rest of the month as well. 💚

Busy busy !! So there's a reason for the pampering 😜
Yes the body and the stomach have been pampered a lot lately, haha 😄
Its been a while since you last posted. I was thinking your mind was also clogged.😬. But no, your just busy and having a good time😁.
Yes just been busy and involved in a lot of activity. Which has caused no time to write and limited time to engage with others. I have a slower day today at work well until tonight anyways when I have to work more overtime. There has been some cloudy mind times but I have been getting decent sleep keeping that limited 🤣
Enough sleep means clear mind😬😁. Looking forward to some ice cream on your birthday😌😁
Oh yes, we should both have ice cream on our birthday, hehe
😌😁😁

Congrats on your son getting the ropes of the delivery stuff! It’s good to find ways to make money especially with the college stuff going on.
Glad you got to do some fishing, even better with some good company on some of them! Gotta love a good trout. Did you eat it?
I wanted to let you know we will be in Des Moines in December for something. Never been there and it wasn’t a trip I thought I’d ever take.. lol but don’t know if you are near it or not. Would be cool to grab a coffee or something!
Yup he's liking the delivery driving. Likes how he can get money quickly. Theres a promotion where he gets $600 if he does 290 deliveries before 31 December. The best part is his referral gets $900 if he accomplishes. It's going to be close as he doesn't get out that much.
Oh ya I ate that trout and it was delious. I might get to go out Sunday again and test my luck! If work doesn't get in the way again. The hours at work at starting to cause havic on some upcoming plans.
Des Moines is a clean cool Midwest city. There is quite a bit to do there. It is loaded with quite a bit restaurants. I last visited there about a year ago. I live about two hours away. It wouldnt be impossible to meet up but depends on work and how close to the holidays your trip is.

Thank you it was indeed delicious 😋
Talk about a busy schedule! Such is life working for the military, stuff needs to get moved around everywhere. At least the flights to Afghanistan are no longer an issue! But always more stuff to move around...
Glad to hear your son has that scholarship, it really does help with the bills. I was never quick enough to make a college team, it must be nice!
The fishing and the stir fry look great. Always important to take the time for yourself to relax. That trip to Vegas will be a lot of fun, a great time of year to go and escape some of the winter weather. I've been itching to take a trip there myself just to get away for a bit. There's so much to do there!
I hope the schedule treats you better this next week!
Yes a lot has to do with a lot of action going on in the world. Oh yes Vegas should be fun. I havent been there since 2004
Right now I'm below half tank and two more aircraft to work before the end of week. A rest night for me when I get home.
Yes my son has made expenses for education great. Just got to keep him motivated.
Take care man!
