It was a productive day off, even though I got up late….10ish.  Which is late.

I’ve been giving myself time to chill out and read at night, trying to get back into the little things in life that I enjoy and miss. The side effect of the night reading, is later nights.  But it has been helping me to relax and sleep.  I’m currently re-reading my HP (yes, I’m a fanatic about reading those), to get my mind ready for the new & last book.  Plus with the movie coming out, I like to re-read the book so I can fill in everything that they can’t fit into the movie.  I’m on the book 6, about done with that.  Then I’m debating on what I should read next.  I’m behind on reading my Ms. & Bitch magazines, but then I have a ton of political books…..we will see.

I got the house detailed vacuumed, mopped, and the throw carpets washed, also changed the bed sheets and did some laundry.  Work wise, I got things caught up with the online store, getting things settled with suppliers and clients, balancing the books.  At least I can see my desk again……that is so annoying, stresses me out when it is a mess.
I did get time to balance my own checkbooks….I think they are done.  =)  But unfortunately, I didn’t get to our receipts.  =(  I’m not pleased by that at all. They are starting to pile up………ggrrrr

I have tomorrow off, but there is no way to get those done. We’ve booked a room on the beach and was planning having some time to ourselves.
I did workout some today.  Went to use our elliptical and after 5 minutes, but one foot was hurting bad.  I’m so pissed by that, because I was doing good, I had my music in that is always great for working out to.  So I went to the living room, put my yoga mat down, did some stretches and leg lifts.  By this time, I had worked up hell of a sweat, but was I able to go and enjoy our pool……..nope!  =(  The pool guy comes on Wednesdays and, of course, he is always late……..so I don’t get to enjoy it.  It kind of pisses me off.

I’m hoping that when I step down that I’m able to have a set schedule.  I’m asking for 4 days only (my 3 days off together) about 9hrs, since I’ll be an hourly again….icks…..I’m so not use to clocking in and out, did it only for 4 months about 3 yrs ago and that was the 1st time since 1996.

I have to get up at a decent time tomorrow, so I’m going to close.

I hope everyone is having a good holiday weekend.  I’ve been working. Today went well at work today.  That was nice. =)

Just don’t forget the real reason behind the holiday as you go out and visit with friends and family.   Even if you don’t agree with war, don’t ever forget that this country is where it is today through sacrifice and the hard work for our military.  Freedom is paid with the blood of those willing to stand up for it.

‘Little House’ still resonates after 75 years

**Kind of a great reminder of the hardworking spirit that helped to make this country.  The question is, why doesn’t it seem like we don’t have it anymore?

Either way, I loved reading this series of books.  Hell, I’m 33 and still like to stop and read them.
