Week End - Part Two

I worked 6 hours yesterday. Got a lot done. Jeff bought us all pizza for lunch. It was a very nice thing for him to do for us. There were several of the reviewers working, and I was working case notes. Through the morning all could hear these words coming from me. "I live for case notes." But all in all, I got a leg up on them and think I can maintain them through this week.

Afterwards, I came home and did a little laundry. There wasn't a lot because I had some some on the Monday we were off. Remember, it was a short week. Fixed a nice bacon wrapped filet (on sale at Safeway the week before) as a reward for working.

I managed to sleep till 6:30 this morning and for me, that's sleeping in. Had some coffee, got a shower and then ran to do my grocery shopping. I had called Diane T, my hairdresser yesterday and made an appointment for 3:00 today. Yes, she is open on Sundays. I needed to get a birthday gift for JC, BJ's boyfriend and one other thing for Dana, my nephew's wife. Before I left for Diane's, I ran to Target and found exactly what I wanted, except I zonked in finding anything for BJ, who also has a birthday this month.

I still had energy at this point, so I ran over the Fair Oaks Mall and got my glasses repaired. Those doggone bazillion dollar glasses are crap!! 2nd failure in a month. We'll see how long they last. Then I was off to Diane's for my haircut.

Having a 3 minute commute has made me forget just how much I love my car. Diane's shop is about 25 minutes away. The sun was shining and I had my Bossa Nova in the CD player. I know I shouldn't have done it, but I had to blow the carbon out so I roared her up to 80 for a stretch. She just loves 80 MPH. I did slow down at that point. I was cruising along and rounded the bend and saw a backup. I slowed to almost 1.5 MPH and managed to catch a glimpse of a car crash up ahead. I called Diane to say I wasn't going to be there right at 3, but I was on my way. It was quite a wreck. One vehicle, a SUV was upside down, facing the wrong direction, all windows blown out and air bags full. I couldn't see anybody still in the car. The other was a four door of some sort, one door torn off and one door wide open with someone on the seat. It had just happened, dust and smoke still hanging in the air, bits and pieces of car all over the roadway. About 4 other cars had stopped to help, several were on cell phones. No cops were there yet. I made it through the congestion and was only 7 minutes late. Stuff like that reminds me to quit driving like a fool and let the carbon build up in the carburetor (if I have one). When I came back from Diane's there was a backup for about 5 miles. That was over an hour later.

While at Diane's I was telling her I was having a tough time deciding on a gift for BJ, when she mentioned a gift certificate. What a great idea. BJ gets her hair done twice a month as well as manicure, nail fills and pedicures. What a great idea. My shopping is done. :o)

It was a busy day, I was out and about but it was a good day. I'm bushed now and am heading up to bed. I'm going in at 6 tomorrow morning (UGH) because I'll have to lose an hour on Tuesday for an appointment away from the office. (No - not an interview)

Still studying Portuguese. Bought a 'Portuguese for Dummies' book. It helps.

All in all, it was a good weekend.

God bless you all.
