On Hold For Now
I stayed home today.
Last Sunday was kind of a small-scale mess. I got to bed around 1am the night before. Saturdays, I work until 9pm, and my boyfriend has his son those nights. So between work, dinner, tending the dogs, et cetera, it's just not possible for me to get enough sleep to make driving 3 each way hours safe or fun.
I was going because Valerie had 5 dogs scheduled. Rascal and Bianca, and 3 others with the same owner. Not a bad day, so I made the drive to see what I could do. But the owner of the 3 didn't show, so I'd ended up driving 6 hours round trip to bathe Bianca. She's a doll, mind you. But still.
So here's the new plan. Right now, my days off are Saturday and Wednesday. All the other days I work till 9pm. Valerie's closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. If I can manage to get my job to let me have 2 days off in a row (any two will work, except Monday/Tuesday or Tuesday/Wednesday), I can spend the first one doing home stuff and go to bed early. Then on the second, I can drive to groom with Valerie.
It's not working out exactly the way I's pictured it, but what ever does in life?
