A sunny day off

Yesterday afternoon I got off of work and when I got home our neighbor invited us to a BBQ that evening. So we went and got some drinks (non-alchoholic) and some meat for the grill and went over. There were a number of people there I have seen around and a few that I know. I went home a bit early to relax in the tub and have a good read in my book. Ahhhhhhhhhh after a busy week it was great.
Work has been busy with spring cleaning and painting and finding things to have done by a girl working off her dogs stay. Problem is it really just made more work for me having to clean up after her and keep an eye on her. Copuldn\t really trust her to do a good enough job on anything. And we have been under staffed although they have finally hired someone. I am hoping like mad it will work out. But they did know in February that the other girl only wants to work as a secondary person when we are busy as she is back to full time at her other job. On the plus side I am full time again and they have hired someone to work around my days off. So I have said I want sunday and mondays off so now I can go to Church once again. I am sure they all think there that I have dropped off the edge of the earth.
Had a good run up at the gravel pit with the dogs and Dad today. He is home laid off for a week or so. So he has sprung Mom's dogs from the joint for a bit. They are happy to be home and have their servant around for a bit. Had lunch and dinner out. I have been scrapbooking D's Japan pictures. I have moved them in the past from a dumpy bad to a box in our closet but was tired of them being there and needed a project to work on. I figured that after seven years he probably was not ever going to actually get around to doing anything with them. So that has kept me entertained for a bit. Now the next project hmmm...
We are headed down to Vancouver the may long weekend for a friends wedding. I am looking forward to a few days away and then a couple days off when I get back. It will be great to see the other people I know there. I have been semi trying to loose weight for that weekend so that I look good. Vain yes but that's ok once in a while. But I have lost 21 pounds and am looking to loose about 9 more.
