Perpetual Ruminations

Tuesday

We started our new schedule this week, so today I got to come home from work early. It was sweet to be able to stop for a few groceries and still be home by noon. Yesterday ended up being ten hours, even though I was only on the clock for a couple. But it's an investment in the new guard, and if he works out it's worth it. But, that left me pretty tired today, and of course, I didn't get nearly enough sleep last night. So, after eating lunch, a frozen lasagna I had picked up while shopping, I took myself an hour nap. Once again I slept right through the alarm and woke up after an additional hour of sleep, wondering what that irritating noise was.

Now, I find myself short on time for the afternoon, and a lot to do. I had intended to get all my paperwork and anything else work related done this afternoon so I wouldn't have to do any work on my two days off. Yes, two days off. Of course, it's not certain, but I think the new guy will pull through just fine. Anyway, I have to get some work done, but just can't push myself to do it. Instead I decided to log in here and write just a little entry, then I have to go make dinner.

I'm thinking of chili burgers on grilled Texas Toast, french fries, and a vegetable. I know, it's not fancy, but it's quick. I'll do better for tomorrow when we will start the day with sausage and french toast, then finish it with barbecued pork ribs and jambalaya or red beans and rice. I'm still undecided which box of Zatarain's we will use. I know, it's cheating, but it's faster than from scratch. Also, I don't have any rice and forgot to pick some up today.

I'm hoping to get back in here after dinner, but that never seems to work out. For now, it's time to check my mail, then get dinner going, and after -- well we shall see what shall be...
