Thanks, everybody!
I had a delightful day. First off, Rufus (the cat) actually let me sleep until 7 a.m. (As near as I can figure out, he's "set" for 5:45...even on my day off, such as yesterday.) Sabine (the other cat) curled up in my lap and purred and let me read without stomping around stiff legged and not settling. Then Tom made me a wonderful breakfast sandwich with "too much" cheese (there's no such thing as too much cheese) and SAUSAGE!!!! (usually it's bacon, on breakfast sandwich mornings, which isn't every morning).
We went to Newick's for my birthday ten bucks off...and I had beautifully fried large shrimp. Alas, didn't find any squid, rubber or otherwise, in the gift shop. Didn't feel rushed driving Tom home afterwards because I didn't have to head back to Portsmouth for work until almost 3:30.
It was totally dead at work. And then there was a massive thunderstorm that hit us around 5 after crossing the state. My boss had left early and my co-worker and I talked until she left at 6. Then a young Sears associate (on straight commission, so she didn't worry about being out of her department for awhile; there were no customers there) and I talked until I closed at 8. Sure made the time go faster (and I'd already alphabetized the prescriptions for the week and tagged the one pair of readers that came in).
Came home and we had power! (All of Lee Circle appeared dark and I know there were a lot of outages.) So...I ate the leftover shrimp from lunch, landed here at Mudcat, and intend to have a cold gin and gin before retiring.
Kat, I had the whole day off last year. Maybe I'll have it off again year after next. Today's half day was fine.
My sister's promised packages (she's been sending them for over a year now; they grew from one to four, but they finally got shipped Monday or Tuesday) didn't arrive today, but that's okay. They'll probably be here tomorrow. They also include Tom's B.D. present from last September. And probably Christmas presents. And other stuff. I have to remind her what was in them when I call her on Saturday.
