LABOR DAY

What a rainy, miserable day it was today.   I read back over past Labor Days and for the past few years it always rains on Labor Day.  I don't know why that is.  But today lived up to that.  In fact, we had thunder and lightning to go with the rain.

 

I guess it was the dreary weather, but I spent most of the day sleeping.  I am not usually like this, and I have tons to do this week, but I just could not stay awake.  I was so glad I had today off from work so that I could sleep.  Ah, the joys of staying home.

The only thing I did was to run to RiteAid this afternoon to get some bottled water.  Of course, knowing me, you probably know that I didn't buy just a case of water.  Oh, RiteAid, why do you have such cute fall decorations at half price?  I saw that the little scarecrow I bought last week was a girl and I found the boy to match.  For $2 you know I had to get it.  And we got some more of the cranberry and nut trail mix.  It's so good.

I made sirloin steak, potato salad and cauliflower for dinner.  It wasn't a very colorful plate, but it sure was good.

School starts for the kids here next week (Sept 9).  So you can be sure it will be busy this week at the library.  Everyone will be trying to get the last of their assigned summer reading done.  I am working at the McPherson Square library this week.  At least it's a short week.  I think that this month will finally be the end of sending people over there.  I will be glad to get my full staff back and actually be able to get our work done at Richmond.

It did finally clear up here in the afternoon and we had a gorgeous sunset.

 Hope you all have a good night.
