There's strong evidence that lots of folks took off from work today and will do so tomorrow. Something having to do with a holiday on Monday! I can't believe it. I want to slap myself silly b/c, while it's true I do have to work a patrol shift at some point--and I believe that will be the early shift on Sunday so I can also be out when S is out on the river--as Gilda Radner says, "It's always something" and I seem to be powerless to stop these "somethings" from interfering with my life.
Turns out my father and I will attempt to edit my trailer(s?) tomorrow evening since his editing software is loaded on his computer at the middle school school where he teaches video and Friday night is the only time this weekend we'll be able to get inside the school. And Monday for some strange reason I have a dental cleaning scheduled for 2pm. But otherwise, besides the Sunday patrol shift, I'm free! Free! Oh wait, except for the Saturday night screening of this new movie called The Boys of Ghost Town. Ok, so other than that, I'm free. EXCEPT...
A friend of mine and fellow Board member of the High-spanic Health Coalition just had a baby on May 1 (the due date was supposed to be my b-day so while I'm miffed the little ankle biter came early I'm glad he's a May baby!). Well, she posted on her Facebook that she needed our thoughts and prayers b/c she is depressed and having a hard time. Uh-oh. I promptly emailed our 2 mutual friends to ask what we can do! I got the girls all fired up to go and do something except for one of them will be out of town this weekend. But the other one said she was available and I said she better be b/c I cannot go by myself b/c I don't know nothing about no babies. So I may perhaps be busy being a newborn-sitter either on Saturday or Monday. See what I mean? I get hardly any kind of break on my so-called holidays! But as I said before, I am powerless over my sense of duty. My sense of duty is way overdeveloped. To my detriment? That is the question, isn't it?
Anyway, there's things for myself I'd like to do this weekend. Watch this documentary Ballou! Read my new library books! Sit by the pool! Clean my new dresser drawers that I still haven't cleaned since J. brought it over what, a month ago? Smell the damn flowers. Shit, man. Well, I guess I'll have time for those things on Monday. Or Saturday. Probably not both.
My doc budget is finally taking shape. I worked on it for 2 hrs. last night while watching the DVR of the "Idol." I just need to tighten it up and it'll be ready to send to my hopeful fiscal sponsor to take a look. However I forgot my thumb drive at home today. S likes to sometimes chase me around the house and squeeze me with his big hands and while trying to escape through the kitchen last night I put the drive on the counter b/c I was afraid I'd spill lemonade on it, making a mental note to grab it this morning. Well, we all know how I am in the mornings so that didn't happen! But tonight I am GIVING MYSELF THE NIGHT OFF FROM JOB #2! This is HUGE. But I need it. I can't wait to go home and relax, or at least, finish my doc budget.
