Did my first work order alone today and I think I spent half the time looking for the products and the other half on the phone with someone guiding me through the app the company uses. Hopefully, with the app guide, I'll be much better at my next work order.

And we (in my area of Texas)... continue with 100°+ days.. and nights that "may" cool down into the upper 80s.... and nary a drop of rain in sight. My produce that is growing has to be watered every other day unless I want the leaves very wilted.

We barely get to 80 during the day. It's 50's at night here. Do you try to grow "drought resistant" or "heat resistant" plants?

 

[ZandraJoi]

So, how was your day?

Hey @ZandraJoi ❤️

Hello to you! How is it going in your area? Do you have droughts there? Or you get a lot of rain like some places?

Our summers seem to become more dry over the years, and warmer too. But today was a very rainy day, so it's a bit of a mix at the moment. Other seasons are pretty wet usually.

We may get a few days of extreme heat but overall, I believe we are getting on the cooler side. & more dry here as well. We live in wetlands & when that's dried up, you KNOW it's a drought!

Not really.. we usually grow standard "Texas" plants. Bermuda or fescue is a normal ground cover... want San Augustine or similar.. bend over to pay for the water (ask me how I know! ).

There are some areas that are even more drought impacted that they actually don't want you growing grass.. they prefer stone and stuff like cactus.

I think the last noticeable rain we saw was about 2 1/2 months ago.

Texas is wild man, I couldn't survive your place.

Had a day off today after working 9 days in a row, it's been good to actually do nothing, but I still feel tired. Working in another part of the business next week to test a new system which should be exciting and give me a little bit of a break from my normal day-to-day.

Happy Thursday all! Been catching up with a lot of work today and feeling a lot better for it. Kids are now off for the summer and they have just less than a 7-week break so going to use that time to get caught up, get into a better routine and hope that the weather perks up and then maybe a few days out as well.

Hope everyone is well

I'm officially forgetting the days of the week. Husband and I visited a Peach orchard yesterday and spent the day out and about and then came home and watched Suits. Today he took me shopping at Home Goods for a few Halloween decorations xD and then went to bath and body works to use some gift cards. Then the new season came out on Diablo so we've been playing that for a few hours.

Just wanted to check in with all you wonderful people!

I and my family will be going to Red Lobster tomorrow in celebration of my 33rd birthday!

Happy cake day!
Red Lobster is honestly not as good as it was a few decades ago - but still is a great place to eat for a chain.
We normally put off our "celebration trips" to it until they have their Shrimpfest going....I can down a few pounds of shrimp myself... hate though that they make you do it 6 at a time. As soon as they drop the first plate off, I've told 'em to get the next one rolling.

Hey everyone! I'm ready for summer to be over with. It was way too humid today and I work in a factory with no air conditioning. I was sweating as soon as I started working, which is unusual. It's usually fine in the morning and then it gets gradually hotter but not during the hottest parts of the summer. It rained a little bit at least and it cooled it off for a bit, but not for long.

Thanks!

I usually get the Ultimate Feast when I go there, which is a nice variety that is pretty tasty to me.

@Cory I hope you enjoy your celebration tonight! Is your birthday actually today? Eat a biscuit for me! XD

You're not alone. This summer season's for the birds.

Thanks, we're about to head out the door to celebrate! It was actually yesterday (the 20th). I will indeed eat a biscuit for you!
