How unexpected and lovely!
While getting ready for work today, a package addressed to me was dropped off on the front porch from Torrid. It was from their #torridstrong campaign, which supports breast cancer research through sales of specific items. October being Breast Cancer Awareness month, it arrived in a timely manner.
I'm uncertain how Torrid found out that I'm a breast cancer thriver. I'm thinking I may have mentioned it in one of the reviews I wrote on their website for a previous Torrid Strong item.
It goes nicely with my choice of dress today.

Love the expression on the pumpkin rabbit's face, Menolly! It looks like it's about to wiggle its nose any second, now.

Continued good health to you, Menolly! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: I admit I'm not sure where you are wearing that ribbon, but am guessing its on the collar part.

The loop of pink ribbon in support of breast cancer survivors / thrivers is on the lower right tail of the scarf.

Of course, it helps to be the photographer...

Thank you, Savor Dam! I can see it, now! For some reason, I was distracted by the thought that the ribbon had to be hot pink, silly me... :oops: ;)

Another day, another day, another day.

Of course things could always be worse, but I'm a bit annoyed that they are not better either. :)

Bored, lazy, demotivated, I'd be voting for hibernation if summer weren't coming on strong now. :)

I will soon. I promise. And I am sorry.

I will admit I am loving the increased workload. Julie says she has never seen me happier at work. I am running the main building kitchen and two trusty camp kitchens. The trusty camps are on different cities, a good half hour from each other. My kitchen major gives me goals and leaves it up to me on how to get it down.

I get to set my hours and overtime. I have my own crew of inmates. I'm training the new sergeant. I'm able to raid my old building for supplies. The head of food service granted me precedent over others for that. I have two inmates at my original camp who help me raid.

I'll help organize the holidays.

I really enjoy being the guy behind the guy in charge.

Another day, another day. :D

Back to rolling power cuts this week, (allegedly only until tomorrow), so lost a couple hours out of my work day yesterday and the day before. Sadly not today though. (I have been using them to take a little nap. :D )

The day-time ones are fine, but the ones at night are annoying, particularly the 18h00 - 20h30 or 20h00-22h30 slots.

Oh well, ce la vie.

Any particular reason behind them Av, or just the general energy shortages that seem to be afflicting the world in general these days? (There is talk in the UK of industry having to go on three day working weeks, but this might be due more to labour shortages rather than actual power supply issues - not sure to be honest.)

Nah, this is mostly down the power infrastructure that hasn't been maintained properly due to years of corruption and mismanagement, following on from the days when government only cared about providing electricity to a tiny fraction of the population.

Once unplanned breakdowns remove a certain amount of generation capacity from the grid, they rotate "dead spots" while they make repairs etc.

It's been going on for years, and will continue probably for years more while they try to get everything up to spec.

All back to normal for now, until the next breakdowns force them to do it again.

My long awaited P.INK Day was today. When I approved the design, I forgot it was a stencil, so the treble clef came out backwards. A lifelong mistake, but it shows I'm human...
