Another update?!

It's getting crazy here--3 posts in less than a week :-)

My herbs are doing fine, considering they're still alive after a fierce beating by the wind last week. They're inside for now recovering from windlash. My tiny pot of chives has sprouted quite nicely. My lavender is looking a little more perky--but still growing sideways instead of UP. Looks like I'll have to try staking them. I also restarted my AeroGarden. The remaining basil had died because of being bound up with the roots of other dead plants, the parsley looked said after its fellow plant died of rot, and the other two I planted weren't growing. I cleaned everything out, changed the lightbulb, and now Red Heirloom and Golden Harvest cherry tomatoes are taking their turn at growing. Fingers crossed that they grow!

We've been on a sort of manager rollercoaster at work lately. We got a 4th manager, then shortly afterwards the "staff favorite" manager was transferred to another store. Then an "assistant general manager" was assigned to our store, giving us 4 managers again. Now he's left and we are back to three. This is EXCELLENT news for me because it means I get to supervise more frequently. Right now I'm doing it Monday and Tuesday nights, which is fine because they are the typically slow nights. Monday was particularly bad so I was glad to be in charge rather than serving. Now I'm down to serving only twice a week--Saturday nights and Sunday mornings. Quite a change from serving 5 days a week earlier this year. I still work 5 days a week, but one shift is bartending and the other two are the super shifts. I'm really looking forward to fall not only to start school, but also to not work as much (hopefully I'll be able to keep bartending Friday nights).

Well, I'm off to shower and pack. The FIANCE and I are headed down to see his family for a couple of days. I'm excited because I haven't seen them since Christmas!
