Happy Hours


Yikes! It seems there's a bit of confusion regarding my return date to work, I received a voice mail message from my boss this afternoon, he's expecting me back to work next Friday the 26th. I was under the impression that my first day back would be Monday, March 29th. I will call employment services in the morning and get it settled; so fingers crossed that I'm right and Steve is wrong. It wouldn't be that big of a deal but John and I are flying to San Francisco on Saturday and returning next Thursday, so I really hope I can have a weekend before going back to work. I know that sounds pretty greedy on my part considering I've had three months off and countless weekends since January. I had a busy morning with a workout at the gym and then a trip to the airport to pick up John's car from the valet lot where he had to leave it yesterday because he got a late start and barely made the flight to FL. Anyway, Anthony picked me up at John's and dropped me off at the airport and I drove the car back to John's where I had left my car. I stayed at John's for much of the afternoon because I was meeting my pal Joyce for cocktails at 3:00 in the area. While at John's I spent loads of time transferring our vacation photos from his computer onto my computer. I met Joyce at McCormick and Schmicks for happy hour or in our case happy 3 hours! We had such a good time catching up and enjoying the drinks and really inexpensive but tasty appetizers, I especially enjoyed the pot roast nachos! Good heavens who comes up with this stuff! Joyce is doing really well and is enjoying her new job . You may remember that she was my realtor and also listed my townhouse almost two years ago when I was looking to move back to the big city. As we all know the housing market is no place to make a living these days so Joyce has been working in another field since the downturn in the housing market. After several happy hours with Joyce I started on my way home around 6:00. I haven't done much here at home, but the evening has been relaxing although my eye has been pretty sore for much of the day, maybe that's a sign of healing? This day light saving time is kicking my butt! I stay up way too late and then I can hardly drag myself out of bed in the morning. I have my alarm set for 6:15 because I'm trying to prepare myself for my return to work but today I hit the off button and slept until almost 9:00!
