Should I Be Concerned ????

Monday afternoon the maintenance vendor that services our building brought two HEPA Filtration systems. I was asked if it would bother me and I stated no due to the fact that I was going to be leaving in an hour. I really don't know what was or is going on and no one ever said anything to me. At that point, someone did a "dust test" at the top of my cubical. In reflecting, I did notice that day as I shifted stuff on my desk that my fingers were getting dirty (I cleaned my desk two weeks ago with those Clorox wipes). Tuesday, I arrived at work to see that the machine was still there and running. I had heard from various people on our floor that they are doing duct work or something with the pipes that is generating dust that is being pushed down through the vents. I happen to have a vent directly over my cubicle. As I sat down, I noticed that my desk was nasty with brown stuff. I removed everything off my desk and wiped it down with those wonderful wipes. Needless to say, that machine ran for my entire work shift. And the noisy end faces my direction. I apologise to my co-workers for my venting, but they agreed that it was louder by me then where they all sit. About four o' clock that afternoon, there was yet another "dust test" done at my cubicle. I was sooooo glad to get out of that building! Wednesday, I happen to arrive at work to see that the machine was unplugged . . . ahhh piece and quiet. Turns out other floors were told they could turn it off if needed but it needs to be plugged back up before they leave. So, I was fine with it being off. Then, I had someone ask me if my air quality was better. I thought to myself, I guess, but mentioned I was just glad that the machine was off. She mentioned how she was going to turn the one on by her for it was better to be safe. I would say that within an two hours of my shift I started coughing and my nose was bothering me, so with the help of one of my co-workers that machine go turned back on and remained on for the rest of my shift. Once again, a little after 4pm there was another "dust test" down across the top of my cubicle. So do I need to collect a sample??? And what is going on??? I guess I will see what the rest of the week holds for me!!!

Pansies Planted

This weekend we bought hanging planter boxes for our deck and planted an assortment of pansies. They look very pretty!!! Thanking my sweet husband for helping me with this task.

Flower Bulbs

Today I purchased bulbs for peony and gladiolus both which are pink in color. I already have one white peony plant which we transplanted last year, so I'm hoping it took and blooms this year. Then if my new bulbs bloom I will be able to arrange white and pink flowers inside the house. I really wanted a red one too to go in our formal living room decor of tiger print. I will have to continue to search. My stepdad had some gladiolus bloom at his place last year, so that prompted me to get these. Not sure where I want these to go in the yard yet. Looking forward to getting these planted by the end of March. Hopefully, pictures available by summertime.

New Favorite

I really have come to LOVE Petro's sweet tea. Their tea has a "hint of orange" added to the tea. The problem is that I can only get it when we visit Tennessee. While in TN this weekend I asked my husband to pick me up two cups while he and his sister ran some errands. They came back with two gallons of it for me to take home. Thanking my wonderful sister-in-law, Elisabeth, for such a sweet purchase!

Turkeys

Gene and Portia have wild turkeys, not the bourbon, running around their property. This weekend we saw three out in the yard and even caught them eating berries out of one of the trees.

Corn and Potatoes

Crawfish and Shrimp

Saturday night Gene and Portia held a joint Graduation Party for Michael and Elisabeth at their house. The house was decorated with orange and tan colors to go along with the crawfish and shrimp boil on the dinner menu. They had awesome bread from Hillside Bakery which I ate a ton of that night (I so killed my diet). Of course, it turned out to be a very cold weekend! But, we had a great time anyways! Many thanks to them and their friends for everything they did to prepare for this party, for it was all wonderful!
