3 day holiday weekend

I never thought I would ever see this day come! I have a 3 day holiday weekend on the account that the branch of our office is closed for the 4th of July. Needless to say, today can be categorized in "just another lazy day." I, myself, did not get up until a little before 0900; had the "I-slept-too-long-headache" to prove it for most of the day. I made my usual coffee run and came back home and mowed the grass considering it was getting to be rather thick and weedy. After that, I will admit, I did mostly nothing. The weather is a mix between clouds and sun and the temps are a wee bit milder than what they should be this time of year. Right now, I am just killing time, piddling around on the computer. Oh, I did shell out $149 to have an animal control person come out to the house to set up a live trap seems how, once again, I have large woodchuck camping out underneath the cement slab out back. I seriously thought the damn thing up and died; well eh, not the case. I was fiddling around in the kitchen last week, when I happened to look out the window; there set this overgrown woodchuck. If I had a rifle, I'd kill the thing myself. But, seems how I live in the city, I dont imagine they would appreciate that too much; hence the reasoning for bringing in the pros.
I am glad the weekend came early; this work week has been very bizarre. I am still trying to figure out why all of the sudden some of my employees are taking it upon themselves to begin to defy authority and/or miss pertinent information about a particular case. My favorite is when they decide to work on their days off and not let anyone know. Talk about screwing up schedules! The last thing I want is a bunch of overworked and burned out nurses. I as well as anyone, know that does not help our patients any.
I have decided to stay home for the 4th. A little unusual for me, but it would be nice to just stay home for once. I may meander down to the capitol for this so called tea party and join the rest of my protesting friends. The tenative plan at this juncture in time is to come home from my appts later on this afternoon, fire up the grill and cook my pork tenderloin; the best part about this is I can nuke it in the microwave tomorrow and not have to worry about taking an extended amount of time out of my day to cook. My sister really wanted me to go to the 4th of July parade with her down in Gregory, but, I had to decline this offer. I am staying home this year; if that makes me a party pooper so be it.
For all the rest of you, have a safe and happy 4th of July.
