Since I only have one day off this week I'm determined to be lazy. I slept in all the way to 7:45 this morning! Considering I was asleep by 10 that's not too shabby for me.
On my post before I went to bed last night I asked for help with a computer problem - problem is no more! Many thanks and lots of love the
slavelabour for pointing the way to a solution - and a pretty damn simple one at that. Thoughts of mayhem no longer bound through my mind. They just creep around the edges.
Inventory is on Tues and all department managers have to work tomorrow to try and get ready. I am just so freaking exhausted already. I'd love to do nothing but lay around in bed today but I have to keep my plasma appointment because I really need the money. The Big Boss gave us the option of taking next Friday off to make up for working tomorrow, and it seems most are going to do that, but I elected to work. I begin vacation one the 28th and I don't have quite enough vacation hours left to cover it - only about half. I was torn between being really strapped for money (even more so) or breaking up my vacation (taking a 3-day weekend, working 2 days, then taking a 4-day weekend) but I really need that whole 9 day block off to recuperate and recharge my batteries a little to try and get a little steam up for the coming holiday season. Now, because of the 10-15 hours of overtime I'll be making this week, I'll be dead tired and I know I'll wake up at the ass-crack of pre-dawn on Friday morning and wonder why the hell I didn't take him up on the offer of another day off, but the OT will make up for what I'll be missing on the next paycheck.
The good news is that my money problems (at least the current crisis - 2 running concurrently) should melt away in 2-3 weeks. Then I can think about getting to the dentist to start taking care of these long overdue problems. I have a couple of teeth that are really giving me fits right now.
For the first time in a long time fanfic is not my literature of choice at the moment. Now that I have them on my Kindle (because reading actual books is very tiring to my eyes), I'm re-reading Ilona Andrews'
Kate Daniels series. Urban fantasy/post apocalyptic/competent-but-not-infallible female protagonist - some of my favorites all rolled into the same books. I'm on book #2. After I finish with them I think I'll re-read Patricia Briggs'
Mercy Thompson series. It's not post-apocalyptic but all other above descriptors apply, and I actually haven't read the most recent book in the series.
I've finally joined Goodreads so I'll noodle around and find something new to read - right now it depends on what ebooks the library has a available or what I can acquire - elsewhere. *cryptic much?*
Anyway, time to go get my bodily fluids siphoned from me.
Later!
