What's going on?

Today I listened as my co worker tried to explain the concept of furloughs to another co-worker. It was laughable. I finally just said "Tell it like it is we will be working for free for 2 days a month." that is our goveners gift to us who work the toughest beat in the state, to work with the scum of the earth for free. Oh well things could be worse. I am ging to hav 5 count them 5 days in a row off and it will only cost menone day. Maybe I can use a furlough day. You see I do find the concept laughable. We got a bulletin from the union today wanting us to come to a meeting about the furloughs. They are going to try to explain them to us. I still say working for free for 2 years is just that working for free. I will have accumulated 288 furlough hours in 18 months so maybe I can take a month off and relax. If that is possible. That is supposed to be the pay back after working for free. I have a new calling I am going to be the Primary chorrister. I know nothing about music I know I love to sing and I hope I can make the primary children love to sing also and not just get up in front of their parents and act stupid. At least it gets me out of Relief Society. I am expecting a new box of books I bought myself a new childrens song book. "I am a child of God" is missing from all of the ones we have at home. I like to think that it fell out from over use.

Bad hair days and other life mysteries

I am having bad hair year. I have not gotten a haircut since Beverly passed away and now I have no highlights and my hair is all natural. It is very blah color wise and I am going to have it highlighted as soon as I find out if I get a 10% pay cut or not. The Governor is balancing the State budget on the backs of the state employees. We hear new things every day but now a judge has ruled that he can make state workers take furloughs. I am in category 3. I will have to work and not get paid but get compensated time off (CTO) that I can spend at a later date but I have to use it before 2 years after the furloughs end. In essence to me I am going to be working 2 days a month for free. We never seem to have the coverage to use our CTO so it just piles up and then we just loose it. Thank you Mr Governor am I sorry I voted for you. Anyway I got a box of books today. I have been wanting to order the Doctrine and Covenants made easier and so I finally did. I also got Marindas recommended book "Broken things to mend" by Jeffery R Holland. and they had a good deal on "Jesus the Christ" so I got it too. So as I said I got a box of books. The only problem is I ordered and paid for 2 of the same book. I didn't realize it until after I did it so I asked David to see if he could fix it first thing in the morning but it had already gone to the warehouse to be filled so they said I could just send it back and get credit. It is part one of the D&C made easier if you want it get your bid in cause I am going to have David send it back soon. Hopefully by Friday.

happier days are here again!

I just did a big long post and then deleted it by hitting the wrong button. Oh well I will try to re create it. Anyway I was saying how I had such a good day on Sunday as David and I went on a long bike ride. It was a place we were not familiar with and it was really fun. We rode for about 9 miles and could have gone longer except I wore jeans and the chafing was getting to me. After coming home and fixing dinner I was so stiff I decided to brave the Hot tub again and not remember the last time I did it before bedtime how it kept me awake instead of soothing me. I felt wonderful in the morning and it was nice not to be so stiff (just chafed) I will wear my cycling pants next time. We went to the movies to see "Ink heart" it was OK but I could have waited for the DVD. I have been watching or listening to movies because I am trying to get some sewing done and The only tape I had was "Brigham City" I think I watched it 5 times and then I asked David to put my DVD player back and what did he bring for me to watch but "Singles Ward" and RM the best 2 years legacy all the church stuff so I have been watching them again and again. When I got the DVD player hooked up I was listening to Perry Mason I am on the 3rd season. I love Perry Mason. I have the first season of Boston legal I need to watch also. Anyway between the movies and the bike ride and the hot tub I am all mellowed out. I am looking forward to 5 days off over Valentines day and we may go to the mountains. As I said things are looking up .Life is good but not best I am happier now.
