A weekend on it's way




St. Patrick's Day is on it's way. I missed the first parade last Sunday in Belmar. The second parade is in Union tomorrow. I had hoped Rob would not have to work and we could attend but he has to work until noon. It's an hour ride to the parade (which starts at 1) but the parking by then will be overflowing. I will have to decide whether to go myself with my friend Laura and her husband or not. I almost feel guilty about going because if I go I could not be home until 5 or 6 and Rob will be home at noon. I treasure our weekend time together. Lately he has been working constant overtime. I am insisting he take off for St. Patrick's Day on Friday and maybe we will go into the city for the big parade there.
I have to be in work a bit earlier today to meet with our IT person. It seems he always installs a new program and then he leaves and we have all kinds of problems happening. Often with default settings and there are so many computers and since I can't touch the server (and wouldn't know how to fix it) we end up fixing things one computer at a time. One thing that is frustrating is I do not have my own desk. I feel as though I am a nomad wandering from availabe work place until that one gets claimed. I have no place to store anything personal (except in a tiny spot in the owner's office). I have never experienced this before and at times it's frustrating. I don't have my own computer and I am someone who had my own cubicle previously. I am hoping to work something out there. I am only part time although I seem to be putting in more and more hours. I am so looking forward to my next check. It will not only pay the bills that are waiting but for the first time since I returned to work there will be a little extra. Whoppee! Thinking about how to spend the money is actually more fun than doing so.
I am finding that I am not sleeping well and my energy level is suffering. I use most of my energy at work and come home and many days just crash. The days I can muster up the energy I take Duffy outside and we have a lot of fun playing retrieve.
It's a beautiful sunny day here in N.J. I suspect I will soon see some of my daffodil bulbs poking through the ground. I love them.
Well time to jump in the shower and decide what Springlike outfit I will wear today. Most likely it will be a green and pink skirt that I bought last Fall. In a designer store at the mall for a huge price but I bought it later at T.J. Maxx for one third the price. It's a Sigrid Olsen and I love her clothes. A bright beautiful green background with darker green flowers on hot pink leaves. It's a soft flowing skirt that's a pleasure to wear. I wear a hot pink top with it.
Have a great weekend!
