I am glad to have a long weekend.  Stress is now lower at work, because two big projects are out of the way.  My boss is on vacation, but I am in charge of explaining the new state fulough program.  Unfortunately, I wasn't included in a lot of key discussions.  But, at least she made it clear that she understood that.  Sometimes she is very good.  And other times she says things like "tick, tock" at the most inappropriate times.  Anyway.

JR and I got another cat.  I think he thinks the oldest is going to die (he has had that cat forever and credit her with getting him through some bad times.)  This new cat is so mellow.  She is brown and white with blue eyes.  She has a lot of siamese in her.  We walked into Bluebell's Pet Shop (not its real name, but it is owned by this big queen and JR calls him Bluebell.  He walks around in his sandals with painted nails.), and there she was.  She is a rescue cat.  Very sweet.

Anyway, no big plans for the weekend.  Got my car serviced today.  Got my hair cut.  Puttered around the house, but didn't get much done at all.  Since my car was in the shop, I took the bus to the hair place (I go to the cosmetology school where JR teaches.)  When you ride the bus, you really appreciate (a) your car and (b) your life.
