Tuesday, November 29, 2022 Snow was forecast for today. Keith set his alarm for early, in case he needed to blow snow before I left for work at 7:20, but woke up even earlier. Today is day two of my temporary full-time job and I was under the covers, hiding… wondering why I had thought

Wednesday, November 23, 2022 I actually wasn’t sure that we were going to actually blow glass in this glass. We were working hard enough just to get the glass out of the furnace! Today we learned how to use the cold shop – a variety of different grinders to polish and clean up your glass.
Tuesday, November 22, 2022 I don’t go out much by myself. I go to work. I go to the library. And sometimes I go to Sam’s club. I learned to go to Sam’s during pandemic. They have an awesome check out app – you just scan everything with your phone, click check out, and you
