Since my last post, many things have happened, as always. I'm not sure if I mentioned in any of my posts that my supervisor added me to a list of promotions. I was happy when she told me this and well it was a long wait and process. At the end of last month, I got the news and got promoted to Senior agent. I got noticed my actions and that is why I was added to the list. I didn't do anything different with any of my actions and I just keep asking questions and writing notes down of changes. I also got my certificate from a course my supervisor signed me up for called Lean Six Sigma, which I never heard of before this but it's very educational in learning how to break down a problem with different methods to get to a solution. There are different levels of this Lean Six Sigma, but I got my Yellow Belt Certificate.
My husband also got a job at the beginning of this month. We both were taking an Electrical class our community pantry church provides. It showed us the basics of installation of outlets, GFCI outlets, wiring and a bit more of that. We took it towards the middle of September and it ended in the beginning of November and we went every Saturday for it. We graduated and got a certificate for it and at the same day, my husband got offered a job from one of our instructors. It's something out of his norm and he has been wanting to get out of the IT field and go into a different career path. The IT field has not been stable and it may continue from what he has seen. This will be a great new path for him and he just needs to adjust to it. So since then I've been home alone and still working from home. They also offer a plumbing class there and we are planning on taking it when available again. It doesn't hurt to learn new skills especially that will help around the house.
Since he got a new job, our schedule has changed when we wake up and the tasks we do around the house before I clock in. We wake up earlier during the week and go to sleep earlier. Our stray cats do still get attended to and some do still show up. We have noticed that some have not come by much or at all. Calypso, Drox, Sherbet, TJ and Cleo have left the crowd and it makes me sad every time I look out our windows and not see them. We also gained kittens from Salt, 4 total, and Pepper also 4 total, and their mother Callie had 5 total. As of last night, we finally saw Juniors' kittens and she had 3 total. Indoors we gained another kitten which was Salts' baby and we named her Mittens. She's happy, healthy and at times a troublemaker. We got 6 cats total now indoors and that is our limit. Alas, they get attended earlier than before and before bedtime as well.
Since we wake up early, I have some time before I clock in to work. I decided to make a list of things I want to organize around the house and do. So far I have done 4, if not 5 tasks completed that were on my list. There are more, but some will need to wait for the weekend for my husband to help. Not only that I have decided to make and sell calendars with the photos I took. I did it last year and decided to do it again and I got people already asking to buy a copy. I'm hoping we can travel more than we did this year, but next year. I didn't get to photograph much this year, nor mainly had the ambition and I don't want to loose that. I need to find ways and places to use my drone and get better photos with it. I'm also hoping that we can do something different and big next year for our anniversary. It will be our 10 year one and I want it to be special. We shall see how the new year goes. Until next time, which might be the new year!
