The Mod doll I got for Christmas the first Christmas my Dad wasn’t working because he had back surgery. My sister and I both wanted Barbie dolls. The Mod doll was an inexpensive alternative.

Washing dishes by hand.

15. What was your first job?

I worked at a Midas Muffler that had gas pumps. My job was cashier in the booth (smaller than a Fotomat). In the summer I roasted, in the winter I froze. There were 2 space heaters, but the booth was thin glass on the top 1/2 and thin metal on the bottom 1/2. Every shift in the winter I was bundled up completely. Regular socks, thick wool socks, snowmobile boots, long johns, sweatpants, heavy jeans, thermal shirt, tshirt, flannel shirt, down vest, and a heavy parka. I could barely move, but I was as warm as I could be out in that booth. On the weekends I brought my small tv so I could watch baseball or football. I went to college full time and worked full time. I was allowed to do my homework while I worked, so other than roasting or freezing, it was the perfect job for me at the time.

Day 371-377 of Sheltering In

Saturday to Friday. We did not make a surprise visit at my father-in-law’s for his nasty wife’s birthday party. We weren’t invited as we have been in the past. My father-in-law wanted us there because he basically wanted back-up. Her family is always stealing his tools and my brother-in-law’s tools, so they wanted more “eyes”. We weren’t “officially” invited, so once we found out what the event was, we didn’t want to go. Sunday I had “my time” only for a few hours because my son wasn’t getting along with my wife. I told him to come hang out with me.

The weekdays were filled with PT appointments and my wife and son got the first of the 2 shot COVID-19 vaccine. Wednesday after PT I picked my daughter up from her group home for Easter/her 28th birthday. That girl has not stopped talking! And she’s talking so fast. Breathe girl!

Friday we are at my father-in-law’s doing laundry and having lunch. I have an awful headache. He is hard of hearing and ALWAYS has the tv volume up as high as it goes. When will I learn to bring earplugs? I do have them.

I have been so swamped with appointments and the pain aftermath that I didn’t get my daughter’s birthday gift. I have no idea what to get her. My son got her our village’s version of Monopoly. I’m really going to have to think. Maybe my wife and I can escape Saturday and go shop for something. Ideas?
