jon_chaissonThis is the second week in a row that I've got Sunday and Monday off followed by working two midshifts on Tuesday and Wednesday, then three opens of varying lengths for the rest of the week. It's a bit exhausting by the end of the week, but it's not that bad because I get Sunday to do stuff with A and catch up on other things on Monday.
So what did we do today? We drove up to the Petaluma to have lunch with A's brother (and drop off a set of our house keys, something we'd been meaning to do for a while) and did a bit of shopping as well. I was hoping to go to Tall Toad Music downtown to buy some guitar strings for my acoustic but by the time we finished at Target it was getting late, it was far too hot and I just wanted to head home. A and I are so used to the constant 50s-60s and fog these last couple of weeks that going outside in the hot sun was not all that fun.
What was fun was that we finally went to the premium outlet center up there and got some super sweet clothing deals. I am now flush in tees and collared shirts for work and also picked up a pair of nice shoes for super cheap. They also have a place there that's a combination used book nook and cat adoption center, so you can chill out and just play with the kitties there for a bit. They'd just let them out onto the floor when we walked by and got to watch a bit of kitty silliness through the front windows, heh.
[Speaking of cats, that's part of the reason we wanted to drop off the keys -- though we have a cat sitter for our upcoming trip, we felt it might be good for our relatives to have a set in case we're away again, or for emergency purposes. But mainly to ensure that Juli and Cali are well looked after, of course!]
And now I get to chill for the rest of the evening...
