fearsclave. I'm off by a few minutes, but oh well. :)
Night shift is back, and kicking my behind. I'm not surprised. I'll be back where I need to be in a few days, sleep-wise, so it's not the end of the world. Tonight I have tidying to do, and I have to figure out something for dinner.
Otherwise, things are pretty good.
I have a pile of tomatoes waiting to be canned. I hope they'll hold out until I can get to them.
In other news, the new work schedule is out, unofficially, but I haven't seen much of it. I *do* get an extra day off every six weeks, which is nice. It means every six weeks I essentially get a four-day weekend, which is pretty awesome. Unfortunately, two weekends a month will now be spent at work. I hope they actually post it officially tonight so I can start planning my schedule properly for the next six months or so.
I also wish they'd tell me if I'm going to the Olympics to work or not. If I do, it's possible I'll be there for six weeks running, so I have to know ahead of time so I can figure out what to do with the cats while I'm gone. Six weeks is a long time to ask people to come by and look after them, but it's also really long to board them all to the tune of several hundred dollars a week. Right now I'm thinking of asking someone (not that I know who) to come and housesit while I'm gone.
Of course, the Olympics will also take me away right when I ought to be prepping seeds for the garden, but that's a lesser concern right now.

Olympics! That's exciting, I hadn't heard about that! Perhaps you can do something in-between for six weeks of cat sitting? In stead of paying several hundred dollars a week for boarding, perhaps you can hire a friend to come in for that time. If you have someone you trust who likes the cats and wouldn't mind a bit of extra money, it's win-win all around :) The cats would also get to stay at home, which is always a big plus to a cat. :)
