Memorial Day

Thank you to all of those who have served and who are currently serving in the military. Your hard work and service has given us the freedom to live the way we do and we regularly forget that. While I only know a few people currently serving I cannot imagine what it must be like and I am forever grateful!

Days like today, when I have a day off, that I didn't need to request off and just happen where I can be productive and relax are wonderful, and I used it to it's full extent! 

My body decided 8am was sleeping in, but considering I went to bed before 11pm it was good enough for me. I got up, made a delicious smoothie and gluten free bagel and watched a few tv show episodes to relax and have a lazy morning. Then I got on a productive spree! I cleaned the bathroom, did laundry, cleaned the kitchen and did the dishes, and cleaned my room. I even put my clean laundry away, which if you know me tends to take a day or two after it is actually done. Then I fell back into lazy relaxation! It was about 90 degrees out and beautifully sunny so I read outside for 2 hours! I'm almost done with the third book in the Hunger Games trilogy and I was hoping to finish it this weekend but I just wasn't able to find the time. The two hours did get me a good chunk into it. I then jumped back into productivity and showered and went grocery shopping and had dinner.

I wanted to get a few job applications done, which sadly didn't happen but I will have more time to get those done later this week and in the next few. I have a few snail mail letters to write that I've been meaning to write for a few weeks now that I will try to get done before bed.

This week is going to be very long! Most weeks I complain about 50ish hours of work. Even with Monday off, I am working 52 hours of work, with full days at school, meaning no real breaks between jobs, which makes for very long days. I will be at school by 7 most days to start testing for the algebra classes and then done by 2:30 and then have to be at my other job by 3:30 and not be done until 7 or 8. It will be a very long week for sure. I'm grateful for the day off, but I'll need another one soon, although I doubt I'll get it!
