lazy daze

I started a new work schedule last week and am trying to get used to it. I went from working mad overtime with only 1 day off a week to working 4 10-hour days with 3 days off! Yikes! I barely know what to do with myself. I should work on that writer's block problem I was talking about...but instead I'm balancing my check book, writing my budget for the month (did you read that Scott??? i said "budget"!!) doing laundry, moving my room around, trying to find the best place to put my laptop (based on the strongest wireless signal I can get back in my bedroom from the very front of my living room), catching up on some tv shows that I can watch online, and watching the rain fall.

This is the perfect nap day, however I can never seem to take naps. I'm not a good "napper". I always feel like there's so much to do - and time's wasted if I nap. Maybe I should write a song about that...

I really should take full advantage of my 3 days off this week, because next week we're back to overtime! Woot!! Unfortunately, since it happens right about when I'm going up to Michigan, I have to jam a whole bunch of hours in to the 3 days that I work that week. So on Sunday & Monday (August 10 & 11) I work from 9:30 AM - 10 PM, and then Tuesday (August 12) I work 10:30 AM - 10 PM...it's all worth it though, because then on Wednesday (August 13) I get to fly home to Michigan and see my niece & nephew!! YAY!!! ...and everyone else of course... :)

Cody even knows today is a lazy day...although, now that I think about...everyday is a lazy day for him! The only difference in today is that he gets to sleep on my bed this afternoon instead of in his crate.
