ravena_kadeLast night Dad won $150 on a scratch ticket so he was off to the Casino this morning at 7 AM. That meant I had the house to myself. Yay. I would still have to feed him lunch and dinner but I could also concentrate on chores. Generally that's what I like to do on Labor Day... well more just putter around the house than full blown chores. I did laundry and changed the bedding on the beds, made sandwiches for lunch and a crock pot meal for dinner. Dining will be outside as it is great weather...lots of sun but no heat. The deck is great.
I also got to spend 3 hours in the garden. I cleaned up some plants that had leaf damage and widened a boarder by 8 inches. My goal before the end of October is to have everything tidy and all the borders 6 inches wider... and then when my sister comes home I can ask for her help with setting up 2 raised beds.
Tonight is shelter night. Last week they were looking for a Team Lead. I was Lead 15 years ago. Im here 25. I don't wind to lead anything. I told the guy trying to recruit that my priority is my Dad and I can never tell when I won't be here. That and since the shelter will be moving to a place not accessible by any sort of public transportation I will need to give up my shift. I may think of some other way to volunteer but I just can't get there from my job to were the place is. It would take 45 minutes to walk from the closest T station and it is up a giant hill. I can't do that and work. Perhaps if I get to retire.
