All mixed up!

Its Saturday, right? Or is it? When you do the same thing, day in, day out, its hard to know just what day it is. Saturdays are usually reserved for some kind of getting out, maybe working on the yard, washing the car, puttering around with chores. But for me, I worked. Again. Overtime adds up quickly, and the money is nice in the pocket (for as long as it stays there! haha) but at some point, you need to see something different than the backend of my BigBox store.

As I set my alarm and crawl into bed, its another work day tomorrow. Special projects interrupt the regular schedule I have set, and that means working extra hard in a short period of time tomorrow to get it done so I can have some down time for laundry and grocery shopping.

The only light at the end of the tunnel::::::::::::: com'on PAYDAY! heheheh
HUG$ to everyone!

Long days

Yesterday, work and people made it one of those "kiss my ass" kind of days. Today, work made it the kind of day where all I want to do when I come home is curl up in my flannel blankie and maybe some warm soup ... I'm getting too old for working 12 hour days, then going back and doing it again the next day. Especially when its hard physical labor.

My BigBox store is closing a smaller store in town, and part of my job today was taking things off shelves and boxing it up to transfer it to my store. Halfway through the shift, we had to switch and box up dairy and refrigerated products ... brrrrrrrr. Thankfully, someone else boxed up the frozen!! By the end of the day, I was absolutely tuckered, worn to the bone.

Sadly, this happened at a time when my folks are in town, so it means giving up several hours of time with them. I wasn't given a choice if I wanted to participate, I was "assigned". So I'm thankful I have parents who understand. Love you both! With any luck at all, it won't take long to finish my day tomorrow so I'll have time with them before they leave Sunday morning.
long day HUGS to everyone!
