Day 22

Crap, Totally forgot about blogging yesterday.  We had to get Mom off to Italy for the start of her Adriatic cruise, then I was supposed to work but when I got there Scott meant Next thursday not yesterday so I bought Cordy a new chariot, one that comes with a front wheel and a handlebar to push it instead of our jerry rigged model and then we watched "True Grit" and fell asleep all bundled up together on the bed and then it was morning.  Ooops.

But yesterday was the wealth of having Time Off!  Yes, yes indeedy we got some unexpected bonus time off!  YAY!  Last week, in order to make a good impression on our new baby manager- 25 year olds, first time store manager, hence baby manager- I took a shift on Monday at another store and instantly regretted it.  Yesterday morning that store manager called to tell me that he had two people covering that shift and so I jumped at the chance to take it off.  YAY!  I have an actual holiday off!  Then I went out to work at Scott's new store only to discover that he meant Next week, not last night and so I got Another Bonus Day off.  AND to top it All off I finally got in touch with one of my editors only to discover that the reason why I hadn't heard from her was because their publication goes on hiatus until August.  BONUS!  I now have the Entire Month of July to veg and chill and soak up the sun in Cordy's pool and actualy have a summer for once.  I am giddy with delight.

This morning I was up and out mowing the lawn before I'd even had my first cup of coffee.  Very strange but now it's done so I don't have to think about it anymore.  Both of the dogs are still asleep completely vegged with the AC blowing on them.  I need to put Cordy's new chariot together and take them out for a spin but then I'm going to come back and take a nap of my own before going in to work.  Technically I could call in since I broke my pinky toe two nights ago but I don't want to spend the next four hours calling people to see who can cover my shift so we'll see how it goes.

So, today and for the next few weeks, I have a wealth of free time.  BLISS!
