"My dad's Retiring"

Tomorrow is my dad's last day working at the Post office as a mail carrier. He is retiring after 26 years. I asked him what will he do now and his response was " go fishing."  Before he worked at the Post Office he was a school teacher and before that he was in the Airforce and he did serve in Vietnam. Last year when he talked about the possibility of retiring, I asked did he want a party. He told me not to plan a party because he didn't need one. I was giving him a party regardless of what he said a year ago. When I first started planning it, he said my co-workers have been asking where my party will be. So now he's looking forward to the party which is Saturday. I'm ready for it to be over with, and guess who's doing the Retirement Speech; you guessed it, I am. I haven't even started preparing my speech, because my school work comes first. Hope everyone have a great weekend and say a prayer for me!!

Three day Weekend

I was super excited when the clock said 5:30 today. I've been waiting on this day all week long, and what a long week it has been. Monday is Presidents day and since I work at a credit union, we're off  for the holiday. When I arrived at work this morning I thought there was a chance of us being busy since it's Friday, a pay day for the Post Office, and we'll be closed on Monday. It turned out to be extra slow and I wasn't mad at all. I stayed on the computer most of the day, read the newspaper and helped members over the phone. My plans are very simple this weekend and they are to do absolutely nothing. Hope everyone enjoy their weekend, I'm definitely going to try to enjoy mine!

Time to Rest

This week has been a busy one in the banking business, I work at a Credit Union  and we have seen  many income tax checks this week. I still don't understand why some people want to cash their checks and walk around with 8 or 9 thousand dollars on them. It's just dangerous and really crazy to me. Usually we're really slow but since tax season has come around business has picked up tremendously. I've seen members who only come every year around tax time, so it's been a year since I"ve seen them.  I am in need of a day of rest with nothing to do at all. I don't think that will happen anytime soon. I'm hoping since my daughter is home this weekend from college she will take her little sister to hang out with her Saturday. I will keep my fingers crossed because if she does, I'm going to close my eyes for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour with no interruptions. Hopefully sometime this weekend I will have time to rest.

The end of the month

The year started so quickly for me and I can't believe January is over. This is how my week for the end of the month went. It started off with me working at our other branch for the Credit Union on Youree Drive, I hate traffic on Youree Dr. I ended up going to get something quick to eat for breakfast, a free spicy chicken and bisquit from chick-fil-a and guess what happened, I ended up feeling sick after lunch. I  threw up my breakfast and I felt horrible. My day wasn't over yet and my daughter has ballet on Monday nights so needless to say we didn't make ballet class. When I made it home I was feeling worse and the next day was the same and I went to the doctor, my blood pressure was low and I have high blood pressure and I couldn't believe that my reading was 100/59. My doctor informed me that this was probably one of the reasons I had been light headed for the past two weeks and the throwing up was possibly from the fast food. I had work and school the rest of the week and on Saturday morning my daughter has swim class. A woman's work is never done because even though I felt bad majority of the week I still had school, work, my daughters activities, cooking and cleaning.  I already know that my first week of February will be great! I'm going to think positive and know in my heart that everything is going to be smooth sailing.
