Up way too early
Chore stuff is chugging along. I was gone for three days and everyone put in the minimum, but that's ok.
I've was working at my homecare job while my client's mom has been visiting with her mother, who is 89 and her grandmother, who is 112 -- really.
The big news is that I've temporarily quit the distribution center, and I'm just doing the home care. The reason for this change is that I've run up too many "late punch" points. I am not a punctual person, and one gets 1/2 a point for every punch in that is more than two minutes late. At 12 points, the employee is fired, and I had 11.5 points. I figured that it'd be better to quit with notice instead of being fired. I'll be eligible for rehire in 6-8 weeks if I want to -- I haven't decided if I want to.
Today I have a day off. It's full of crabby children who got up too early and housework, but it's really good to just be able to do stuff when I want to do them. So far I have put about an hour into the kitchen, but I still need to clean out the refrigerator and mop the floor. Then there's the bathroom.
It sounds worse than it is. I actually enjoy making the house nice. I'm not real happy about dealing with crabby kids, but we're all going to take a nap in a little bit. In fact, I think I'm going to go throw them into the tub right now (oy, dirt up to their eyeballs) and then we're *all* going to take a nap.
