Whew.

[serene]

Trained at Ikea Monday. Flew to San Diego Tuesday. Flew back Thursday. Worked Friday through yesterday. Today is my day off at Ikea, and UC Berkeley needs me for the day, so it will be at least a seven-day work week, and possibly as much as twelve (I'm scheduled at Ikea tomorrow and Thursday, and off Friday, but UC Berkeley may call me then, too). I'm actually pretty happy. We need the money pretty badly, and I *love* the job at UC Berkeley, so I'm happy to be heading there.

In other not-exactly-news: things are going fairly well for the munchkins' family; my partners are being, as always, really sweet to me; I saved forty-five whole cents with my Ikea discount; and I walked so much yesterday that I blew out my Birkenstock.

OH! And I have a few actual tomatoes (tiny though they may be) on my huge plant, which gives me no end of joy.

Have a lovely day.

Ha ha...I got a whole $1.93 discount for next time by using my debit card yesterday (course I was at the EPA branch, I wonder if that makes a difference?) I'm curious how a Birkenstock is "blown out"...lol.

Heh. One minute, I'm walking along with two shoes on my feet. The next, the poor overworked Birkenstock breaks (the strap was worn almost through) and I'm walking down the street with only one shoe, and my Birk is left behind. (Fortunately, the back strap on the Birk is not really necessary, so I was able to finish my walk without incident. Aren't you relieved?)

There are times when one has to work flat out like that, and I support you--please schedule sleep and self-care time as a priority.

there's a euphemism you don't see every day ;-) .
