For the first time in about two months I actually get a real day off. Tomorrow I get to sleep in late (7am) and take my time eating my cereal and sipping my coffee. I'll actually have time to watch the news long enough to get a decent weather report, then it's off to the gym! I miss my days off and being able to spend hours at the gym if I want to. Tomorrow I think I might stay at the gym for two whole hours instead of the mere 45 minutes every morning. Usually, on Thursdays, I help out at the K's by washing their three outside dogs and cleaning the three bird cages. The cages are gross and ant infested and the birds are terribly unhealthy and mean. They are alot better off than they were before, however. It takes about 2 hours to do all that, but if you include the time that it takes me to shower the grossness off me and nurse my allergies and bug bites, it's a job that takes more than half the day. And I can't relax and take my time at the gym in the mornings because I feel pressured to be at the their house before it gets too damn hot. I have every Thursday off from the Funeral Home, but lately I've had to go to the Everest office downtown to get "acclamated to the environment", like I was some sort of fish. On the contract for Everest, however, I'm only being paid for four hours in the office each week, and I already take care of that on Tuesdays. They pay me a VERY fair retainer twice a month to being on call and such, so I can't gripe too much...but the office is so cold and boring! It's so not like the funeral home.
What am I going to do tomorrow? Probably take my time at the gym, take a shower and shave BOTH legs (I usually only have time to shave one each day), then I'm meeting Buck for lunch, maybe I'll take Maya to the park and read a book, then clean the apartment. The apartment isn't too terribly dirty, since I spend most of my time in Buck's apartment. That is where I cook and sleep and such. Hell, I'll probably even go swimming.
Oh and by the way, I did have a four day weekend the weekend before last, when Buck and I went hunting and fishing with his friends. But we were traveling and away from home all that time,so I don't count it as an average day off.
