First Week Back

I have been getting to work so much earlier now that Jon is back in school.  I have to find ways to occupy myself.  I am thankful for Internet and music.

Jon is teaching two music theory labs and has to go the class that is associated with it.  He is only doing dissertation hours and piano.  He is finished with all of his coursework.

Jon mentioned a new car search yesterday, so I guess that means I need to get back on it.  It is not the most fun that I have to get up and get to work so very early, but I don't mind doing it for him.  I was hoping we could do the one car thing a little longer.  I think we will have to probably start the car search process again.

Yesterday, Jon cut his thumb with a knife, while I was at work.  I had to tell him how to find the bandages while I was at work.  Luckily, I came across the first aid kit, so I told him to use it.

I have always been very nervous about him and knives, since his hands are very important to his career.  Maybe hand insurance isn't a bad idea.

We are cat-sitting my friend Samantha's cat, Minou.  She is a sweet cat.  My cats are very curious, but we do not let them bother her.  Minou is a senior citizen kitty, so she gets her own room.

I have the weekend off, so I am so happy!  We will probably start "phase two" of thank you note writing.  It will be nice to have that finished.

So much to do... So little time...

I finally had a two day weekend, since getting back from our honeymoon. It was pretty rough having to work for so many days, after being off for over a week.

I was hoping to take my 4th of July holiday on my birthday, which is July 15th. This did not work out, so I will get to take tomorrow off. What a pleasant surprise! I will get two days off again! This makes me so happy, because I still have a lot to do.

Instead of having to cram it all in on Friday, I can do some things tomorrow. We still have to go to the banks. I need to change my name. I need to decided what to do about merging accounts, etc. We need to get new checks, both with my new name and Jon's new address. It will be good to get these things done.

We got the majority of our "thank you" notes done, so that feels really good. We still have more to write. We are still having things trickle in after the wedding, so it is good to stay on top of things.

Jon's parents want to have a post-wedding picnic for us at their home. I have requested leave from work to go. I have asked to be off from Thursday, July 30th until Monday, August 3rd. Let's hope this gets approved!
