Friday Favorites 9.9.22

It was a short week, so I only have two posts this week. My goal is 3, so hopefully next week I’ll make that goal.

This week marked my first week at the new job! I’m learning a lot every day and meeting a lot of new people. There’s a lot of travel this week, but I think that will decrease as time goes on. They greeted me with flowers in my office and there were treats everywhere I went. Everyone is very welcoming, so it feels like a good fit.

So very nice of them!

A few weeks ago Brandon made a crucial mistake of leaving chicken breasts in his car over a weekend we were gone. Whatever you do, don’t do that. I thought Clarence had killed something big and it was rotting. Nope, just his car. He took the carpet out, used an anti-stink bomb, and even took the plastic out and replaced it with plywood, but it still smelled. After some recommendations, he took it to Shane’s Shine Shop and had it detailed. They worked some serious magic and it no longer smells like death. Most likely I’ll start driving his car since it gets better MPG than mine and I don’t want to show up smelling like a corpse.

Not a Friday Favorite is Clarence has been gone for over a week. I’m still holding out hope he will show up, but it’s diminishing as time passes. His biggest threat is coyotes of course. Plus I saw a large tom cat in a shed and I’m worried he chased Clarence away. But if that was the case, I think he will come back eventually.

If this is the last picture I get of him it’s incredibly appropriate. He brought a live ground squirrel into the house. Brandon got it away from him and we think it lived to see another day.

Tonight, Morgan has her Storm Sweeties dance at the football game. Then we take off from there to pick up Dexter and head to Macomb. I need to get a few more things to wear for work and other staples we didn’t initially pack but realize we need until the big move. I know she is excited to see some of her Macomb buddies and I am too!
