Whew, hey I have 20 minutes before we need to be at the next thing on this Sunday... If I just sat down to watch TV I'd be asleep and not to enthused to get back up and going. While Sat/Sun are my sleep late to catch up on some missed hours during the week, today I got up at 6am to go to the office of all things. Friday Nov 11 is the observation of Veterans Day, while it is a definite reason to commenorate our living Veterans who sacrificed much on our behalf, it's only a government holiday as far as I know. It's not observed by UPS, but our payroll department still feels the need to process early and deliver checks to employees on Wed instead of Thursday. And why? I guess it's because the bank is closed Friday for the multitudes who still receive a paper check who hide their money under the mattress. Most of the people in the building I work at, cash their checks at the local "check n go" and don't have a bank account. I enjoy the direct deposit and paperless route.. So rather than have to show up Monday in the office at 3:30 a.m. to process Friday/Saturday timecards prior to the 5 a.m. deadline, I gave them a little over an hour this morning before church to get it done. I made sure not to open my email for fear I'd be distracted for longer.
I just finished an afternoon of busily thinking/typing, printing, folding, stuffing envelopes, addressing & then running them to the Long Beach post office so that they will go out in the mail and be delivered as quickly as snail mail is capable. With the dragging of my feet in getting this done, an RSVP is absolutely hoped for, and necessary for Shanes graduation/dinner just under two weeks from now. We're having it at Frantones Pizza and they require a FIRM # so they can charge us for each one we commit to... As I've noticed over the last decade that getting an RSVP is not as easy as it sounds, most likely not from the fear of committment as much as from setting the invite aside and well, forgetting that people are actually counting on a yes or no with a deadline. Oh well, hoping for the best.
Greg just came downstairs, obviously he has been in the midst of a deep nap (lucky guy), because he hardly took a breath as he was communicating a number of thoughts at once,, Apparantly he is not feeling good and my guess is that in a few moments he will be telling me he's staying home from our small group mtg..
Well, while posting on the blog is an often thought as "stuff" happens, its not something I obviously get to often. time to brush teeth and check on Greg's socializing status...
until next time..
