Well, here it is, Sunday night, and I start my new job in the morning, absentee boss and all. I was going to go in at 8:30 but since I don't know if I'll be able to get into the building that "early," I'll go in at 9 and stay till 3 for my first day. I have to try to dig up my time card. I thought I knew where it was but it wasn't there anymore yesterday.
The last few days in the other job were the usual rollercoaster of good and bad behaviors. The last day was fine, sad, but I guess that it is what it is. Now I am back to the corporate world, at least on a trial basis. To celebrate the transition, I went out and spent what amounts to two weeks' salary on new clothes :-) ...I was overdue for some dressy ones anyway after spending the last two months in the sort of clothes that one wears to be spit on, snotted on, coughed on, and to sit on the floor in. It's like my old favorite show, Ally McBeal, when she was contemplating not working and said, "but then I wouldn't get to wear any of my outfits!" It's time for me to have outfits again.
So we had a lot of fun watching the Phillies clobber the Mets last night (well all except for Kevin did, anyway!) Now although it's close, the Phils are not in command tonight. But the night is young. Hope they didn't use it all up last night. Maybe they shouldn't have used up all ten runs yesterday ... maybe they should have saved one or two of those for today!
And into the week we go. Brian has three tests tomorrow, and Megan has two AP exams this week and the junior prom on Friday night. I hope her dress still fits! Once she bought a dress while she was swimming a lot and by the time she wore it, her shoulders were smaller! That will be a problem, as this is a strapless dress. And she had her SAT experience yesterday, for what it's worth. I'm tired of all this testing, I can imagine how she must feel.
But she has confessed to having a frontrunner in the college search and although I won't name it now, it's the main one we went up to visit back in November, which fell out of favor but seems now to have returned. She'll have to go back for another visit or two, and maybe they will bring her for an 'official' visit for the swim team. Who knows ...?
And in other news, they come next weekend to open our pool! The landscaping is looking wonderful this year, aside from the dogwood, which strangely only bloomed with one flower this season. It looked like it was going to have many, but we came back from Florida and they were all gone. The one nursery guy ventured the guess that it was the extreme heat for that week in April, that the trees got confused and fried all their flowers. The one that remains is in the shade on the fence side of the tree, so maybe he is right.
Anyway, off I go. Check back soon!
