I used to be one who really resented weekends. I was in the office every day and it was really inconvenient for me when others didn't do their part on Saturdays and Sundays. Then I got so that I'd take Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning off and eventually, I learned that whole weekends could be spent away from work and the end of the earth did not come.
I was reminded by a friend not too long ago that I used to worry about retirement. I had no plan. Where would I work? What would I do? I always just assumed I would have a job. I always have.
But, just this morning, on my power walk I was thinking... you know, working 3 days a week has a lot to say for it. My manager works 3 days a week. She gets paid for 3 days a week but she also gets health benefits. I could live with that. Not at this company but in the future... that does not suck as an idea.
My neighbors, Sherry and Lee are off for the weekend and asked me to check on their cats. They have one hypochondriac cat named Cebu. He's always either sickly or biting your ankles to feed him. I think he needs some serious therapy myself. But I did go and check on him and his sister Rosie yesterday. He was playing sickly but not dealthly sickly. And Sherry and Lee had left me 2 Krispy Kreme donuts!!! (They know me.) So I ate one.
Today after my walk I went back down there. Today Cebu is having one of his ankle biting days. He whined for a treat, pushed me out of the way once his bowl had food in it and then ignored me. I had the other donut and played with Rosie.
Ramble, ramble, ramble... Today is going to be baseball and knitting and just futzing around with the luxury of knowing that I have tomorrow for any leftover futzing that I don't get to today... How cool is that???
I found another photo on my walk this morning. This building is across the street on the other side of my building. There is a seedy beer bar on the bottom and apartments on the top. I'd love to see inside one of those apartments. I think there are 3 but there may be only 2. It is one of the coolest looking buildings in Seattle. (My condo is just to the right of those trees on the right.)
