Ahhhh... Friday at last. I say that like I've got it so rough. I have a "job" that is really a contract position 27 hours a week. I don't go in on Mondays and, usually by Friday I've got so many hours in already that I get to be done by 2 or so. That's the case today. And I'm so glad!
This is a long weekend for the rest of the country as we celebrate the sacrifices our warriors have made to ensure that we live free. My Quit-Self's namesake (Garrick) is a Marine and I have a double thanks going out to him this weekend. I chose his name (changed the spelling but the name is still his) so I'd have a tough warrior spirit to aid me in my Quit and that's paid off in spades.
This weekend we're taking some of the money I'm earning and some of the money I've saved from not smoking and getting ourselves a new living room set. I'm so relieved! The sectional we have now is about to break our backs. It's gotten to the point that BL doesn't even sit on the furniture anymore. He sits on the floor and it is really beginning to bother his hips. Can't have that! *wicked grin*
Needless to say, I've been waiting for this weekend with baited breath! I really am excited. I'm happy that I never have to worry about dropping a hot ash on my new furniture, or worry that it'll smell like sickarettes. Happy that not buying smokes is going to "pay off" with a tangible reward for both of us, as my BL has certainly endured through this with me and should have something besides a longer life with me to show for it!
And we both work really hard - we do deserve some creature comforts when we get home. I want something that reclines. Not sure if I care whether or not it's the sofa or loveseat or just a chair, but I want something that reclines. I miss my "motion furniture" that I had before I moved out here. A recliner at each end of the sofa -- shweet!
Anyway - I also have another client to finish up with over the weekend, a night of pyro work to do, and undoubtedly we'll have a barbecue or something with friends. Busy weekend, and if I don't update my blog, don't nobody worry. Just means I'm out having some fun.
You have some, too!
