Labor Day Laziness

 Saturday was a pretty busy day. Friday night, while at the Post, I had offered to come in early Saturday morning, to help clean up from the party that had rented out the hall on Friday night. It was a mess. So I was there at 8am, dragging my feet since I hadn't made it home until near midnight the night before. But I swept, another two guys mopped (there were gummies smashed into the tile all over - had to do two runs of mopping). Then we set out tables and chairs for the next event due that morning. We were talking about going to breakfast, then back after the meeting, to re-arrange the tables/chairs for the evening rental, but it never happened. We ended up deciding to wait until after that meeting and just get it all done. By then it was afternoon, and I had to get headed out. Ran home, changed into my KSU jersey, and headed up to the pub we were meeting at to watch the game. I lasted until half-time, then decided I needed to head back to the Post, as one of my friends was celebrating his birthday that evening. He's an older vet, and doesn't have many that like him. For some reason, we get along great. Sunday was spent just lounging around the house. I didn't go anywhere. I took a nap. Cleared the bowels several times (what was up with that?).

Today has no special plans. Sister invited us to their place for a barbecue and swimming, but the Wife has to work today. I asked the Youngest if he wanted to go, but since there weren't going to be many there, he said not really, so I declined it all. I do have a couple book reviews I need to get done, and I should do that today - but don't really feel like it at this exact moment.

Sent the weekly email to the Company, though they won't see it (or do anything about it) until tomorrow at the earliest.

Welp, it's time to check my glucose and BP.

What a Weekend ...

 Labor Day is here again, and you know what that means ... the start of my birthday month (as I say). So Saturday I had planned up to meet at one of my local pubs at noon, and invited many of my friends to come join me in having one, or two, or seven. No presents, no cards - buying me a drink was acceptable. Turned out to be a relly good day, as a friend of mine that lives in Florida flew in that morning, just for my birthday. She is leaving on Tuesday, and we are going to try to find some time Monday to get together for a bit. Not sure what her plans are, nor mine.

Saturday morning got an email from the Company that they are continuing with us on the project into this week. Monday was confirmed no hours, but opened it to 10 hrs/day to make up for being off Monday. Yeah, no holiday pay. I may or may not work the 10 hours shifts - it's not required.

Not having much luck falling asleep tonight, so got some things done on the interwebz as I need to. I think I got four or five reviews done so am caught up on the books. I do not have any more advanced copies at the moment, so will get back to my regular reads I am working on. My goal for the year is almost met (200).

Welp, on to something else to see if I can get sleepy...

Dust in the Wind

 I sort of feel that way today. The Wife and I talked last night, and we came to the agreement I really have no choice but to pay the extra money to get the birth certificate. Even with the time frames given, it could still be quicker than having to wait for SSA offices to re-open and get in there to do that replacement. This morning I was still feeling weird about having to do that, and did some more research. I found if I mail in an application with fees, there is only a 45 day waiting period. The way I read the statement, that is NOT "on top of" the 25 days regular procedure time. And it's at a lower rate. So I think I will go that route. Still looking at 2 months... but could still be faster.

Tomorrow starts the 3-day Labor Day Weekend. For us it is not much to celebrate, except for my birthday falling on the weekend this year. Saturday night. our family with all kids (plus) will be going to dinner. Not necessarily for my birthday, just so we can all get together. As usual we pick up the tab. I am thinking Country Boys, so it will be a bit cheaper than say Garcia's.... save a few bucks at least.

Sunday evening I will be up at the pub and have let several friends know I will be there. Some I haven't seen in awhile. I did try to do something nice, and invited the Sis, Stuman and RM. RM said they might show for a soda, but I would not be surprised if they did not come, or if they did, did not stay long.

Monday will be just a regular weekend day for us. No get together plans. I had planned to work part of the day... but hey, you heard about that already. I am sure part of Sunday and Monday will be spent visiting the Daughter and family. The Wife and Daughter will take the Doodad and go shopping at some point I am sure. The SIL and my boys will probably all get together Saturday night after dinner and play these board games they like. Not like Sorry or Monopoly... this are more complicated. I tried a couple times, and I just have a hard time with playing them. Gives them all bonding time though.

Welp, I guess that is all I have for now. I may or may not write this weekend, so have a good time if you are not back until Tuesday.

Labor Day 2012

The end of summer. That is probably what I have always associated with Labor Day. Well, that and my birthday (which is later this week). Back when I was a young one, school wouldn't be starting until after the holiday, but where I live now, and in this day and age, they started three weeks ago. I always thought the labor in Labor Day was about having babies, too, for many of my younger years. I was born on Labor Day, and I think that was why.

No tremendously huge plans for today. The family is getting together at Sis' new place for lunch and hanging out. PT's brother & wife are out visiting this week from Indiana, so they will be there, before the 4 of them head up north for a few days. Kids will end up swimming, and the adults either sitting around talking, or watching a movie.

Guess that is all I have for 8am. Y'all have a good day!
