Normally my days zoom by. Normally? I haven't had a normal day in six months. As a matter of fact this is my first 40 hour week I have worked since the beginning of the year. Yeah I cut myself down to 8 hour days, 1 hour of vacation a day to make a 9/80 schedule. So since I burned out a lump of vacation time I decided to go back to a straight 5/40 schedule. You know, plain old 8 hour days with Friday or a Monday here and there to maintain your sanity (what's left of it.) Then gas hit $4.00+ a gallon. So lovely little Ashley and I are carpooling. It's a twist for her, she doesn't like getting out of bed, but after 30 years, I refuse to start any later than 7. Getting off at 5 is killing me. Such long, long days!!!!!
What are we going to to about gas???? Captain Kayak continues his 45 mile trek over the Grapevine every day. Really, 55+ is too old for a motorcycle. Besides, its too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. There's an RV park down the road from where he works. Right now rent is cheaper than monthly gas, but it means getting an RV trailer that we don't want. He is looking for work here locally,,,,,,do we wait it out? I'm thinking this calls for some serious prayer time.
Started riding my bicycle in the am's before work. It feels good. Well, it will after my butt stops aching. I do believe it is time for a wider seat. Hopefully by Monday we will be putting on some serious time and effort.
peace out

I hear you - gas prices absolutely depress me. I wish I could get a smaller car, but I need the size right now. :: sigh ::
