I've been out all day. I went to a town south east of my place and was pleased to have used their
public transport (bus & tram) which is completely free.
public transport (bus & tram) which is completely free.
The current shortlist is "Aili", pronounced Eye -li. It's an old Nordic and Irish name.
She's very feminine and sweet and loving, and I want a name that reflects that. For dogs, it's also important to me that the name be easy to call.
She isn't short on pet names for the time being, from WiggleWuss to Baby Girl.

Hey everyone! My work today was routine but wow being off 2 days brought a lot of changes in the remodel! The whole front counter where the POS's are is new as well as the back counter. Some of the tiles have been torn up in preparation for a new floor. The jewelry counters are all new also! It does smell kind of awful and a customer said the fumes are very bad for you and she said she had to leave. She claimed to be a biologist or scientist of some sort and knew what she was talking about. She was saying how the store shouldn't be open... blah blah blah. As if a billion dollar company is going to close and lose any of that profit!
Tonight is Sweets-n-Eats at Central 28! Yay! I hope I win at bingo!

I had acupuncture this afternoon with the marvelous Monte for my chronically painful back. I'm going back next week too. He put "seeds" in my ear so that if I feel the need for a "hit" of acupuncture, all I need to do is push them.

If that's the most embarrassing mistake you've made, you are a rank amateur at embarrassing mistakes compared to me.Acupuncture has one stupid c. I've been spelling it wrong forever.

Cool!
Romantica... 
We Petersburgians love trams too. We call them "tramvay" for singular and "tramvayee" for plural. I used to ride trams every day, because, when i get off a subway train, i can get to work two ways: by tram and by bus (no wonder, as we have to deal with a lot of public transportation over here). And the way to work by tram is more romantic, especially in summer and autumn, because tram railways lie along a few parks and vast fields, and you can relax and have some "rest" before getting to work. But now i've become a lazy *ss and i prefer a bus route, which goes from another subway station through the city's streets (it's more convenient in all ways and a lot faster, of course). But that tram route along the "Avenue of strikes" and then Peterhof highway will always be in my heart.
Trams remind me trains. And now that we have a lot of modern trams, the noise inside is minimal.SPb has a museum of electric transport. Here is its page about the history of trams (unfortunately, it doesn't provide a translation into English):

Oh no, but it's not the most embarrassing mistake I've made, but it is one of the few I will admit to!

Hey everyone! Work was NOT routine today! I had a money shortage in my bank deposit and I tried everything I knew to find the error. Usually it is fairly easy to find and fix. Not today! I called in the Admin. who is in charge of the cash office and she did everything I did over again and we hunted and counted over and over to find the missing funds. We finally decided it was some kind of glitch in the paperwork/computer program because all the money balanced except the deposit. So we fixed it and called it done! It took a long time and we were glad to be done with it!
It is a miserable day on the weather front. It is cloudy and has rained a little; it is cold, the temperature dropped from sunrise instead of going up! It is only 50 F with a very strong breeze. I forgot to stop at the Dollar General on my way home from work so now I will have to go or Screamer will be out of canned cat food and will probably kill me!

Like me and necessary. I have to correct it ever single time. Never sure if it's the c or the s that's double. That squiggly red line is so helpful!Acupuncture has one stupid c. I've been spelling it wrong forever.
I think I thought acupuncture had two c's too
