Friday May 3, 2013  update #441

Bella was off early to her Friday charity work at the Weaving Store, then she expected to spend all afternoon at the Immigration Office to finalize her own 9-1 Residency Permit.

I was also up early because I wanted to get a haircut around 9am before the gal got busy.   It seems the whole neighborhood had the same idea because there was one lady in the chair and 2 more ahead of me, and then very quickly 2 more behind me.   It is a good thing everyone seemed to be just getting a trim because this gal only takes 10 minutes, tops to do a good job.  At $1.50 a haircut and $1.75 for a quick style, she runs them through pretty quickly.

I had to be home for Rosa’s arrival and she was late again today.  I gave her some extra duties to try to make up the time we are paying her for.

We had quite a thunderstorm mid-afternoon and it was pounding on my window so the glide tracks were quite full of water.   As I was cleaning them out, Tom Thumb was impatiently waiting, while chasing of two interlopers, so I held out the feeder and he eventually came and ate from my hand.   I had not done this for a while so it felt good to regain the trust of our little friend.

Rosa was leaving early again and then asked for a raise, claiming that others are now paying her more.  I reminded her that we had just given her a raise and that she has been leaving early for months now.   I told her I would check with Bella.   I don’t mind paying her what she asks, as long as she actually works the hours.

That was today’s excitement.   Hugs to all.  Please see all new photos at http://souvenircuenca.blogspot.com/
