This whole selling-fruit-to-old-people thing loses a bit of its appeal when working nearly full-time. Argh. Now all I can see when I read that sentence is "loses a bit of its apple peel", which is vastly suitable but I really need to stop thinking about produce. It's not healthy. I dunno. It's certainly not I went to college for, and it's certainly more physical labor than I particularly enjoy, but it's certainly provided me with something to do. And sore feet. I could live without the feet thing. And the aching lower back, as well. But beggars can't be choosers, I suppose. This morning was actually kind of fun. Dad and I, left to our own devices with no delivery truck in sight (no deliveries on Tuesdays or Thursdays) rearranged things. It would probably be a waste of time to explain what we changed since no one has actually seen the inside of the store anyway, but it was fun and it certainly looks better.

Weekendish Goals

• Updates for client. With luck and inspiration, that will get done tomorrow afternoon.
  
• Send thank-you email regarding my birthday to in-laws. Birthday was May 4. Bad daughter-in-law. I did allow it to return a read receipt, though, which I thought was nice of me as I never ever do that.
  
• Certain other swedish email to certain other person, but I refuse to even mention it again since I've been so slow lately. Have practiced my language skills very little lately, what with working and being extremely lazy. Hard to stay motivated, especially here on this side of the globe.
  
• Check immigration process. We need to file for removal of conditions for M's greencard this summer. I think it's in July or so, but it's time for me to do my brush-up research to make sure I've got it right.
  
• Tatting project. I'm getting tired of the silly doily already and it's not even done yet.
  
• Cut hubby's hair. I'm reminded of the time stewlis was explaining to her husband that I cut Magnus's hair. In mid-sentence, she looked at him, hesitated, and then added, "Well, she used to, anyway."
  
• Bake something. I've just felt like baking lately. Zucchini bread is a possibility, although I've also been thinking about conventional bread and I bought the almond junk for semlor. The chances of actually baking something, though, is relatively small. I usually talk about it for a while before putting anything in the oven. Oooh, I have chocolate chip cookie dough in the fridge. Maybe that counts as baking?
  
• Make CDs. Backups. And other perfectly legal stuff.

There's some question suddenly about what might happen to our steady source of income, which is mildly worrying. Just thinking about the possibility of change can be somewhat stressful to people as hung up on security as M and I are, but for various reason, it wouldn't be a real problem. (At least not unless he was unemployed for quite some time, which is, of course, not part of the equation.. I can only worry about so many things at a time!) The most disappointing thing, actually, is the possibility that this job is not what we thought it might be (a career similar to what he had in Sweden.) But at this point.. the question might turn out to be nothing at all, so we're not investing too much time in worrying over things. I don't worry about money, as a rule, actually.. I'm not very good at it. ;)

That's a good thing - not worrying about money. I'm big on security as well but it's good that the major concern is that it might not be the US career start he wanted rather than getting too worried about what you can't control or don't know. I'm sure it will work out okay. Even if this isn't 'the one' maybe that's for a good reason. Eh, I'm rambling :) You know what I mean. It will be okay! :)

Oops, completely forgot to reply to this. I don't know why I don't worry about money much.. somehow I always figure that it'll work itself out. I figure that it's a good thing, though. And.. it very well still might be absolutely nothing to be concerned about. It's not like the boss has warned him of any possibilities thereof or anything. So, yes! It'll be okay! :) Surely.
