With sales down and July expected to be extra slow, they’re cracking down on overtime. I’d been trying to ease off on the OT anyway. Monday I grabbed lunch at Wendys then gassed up at RaceTrac. Left work at 510 pm and headed home to be with Winnie, who had been cooped up all day. C had left W&MC’s at 2 pm and headed out I-20 to SC. She stopped in Augusta, and at 530 was just getting into Columbia.
Ate the last piece of Nancy’s Pizza for supper, as well as a quesadillas filled with leftover chicken. Watched two movies: A Family Affair, starring 36 year old Zac Efron and 57 year old Nicole Kidman. Not their first movie together. Then I watched The Boys in the Boat. Have you read that book? About the inexperienced JV crew from Washington who won the gold in Berlin. Usually books are better than movies, but in this case I liked the movie better.
Up early Tuesday morning to take Winnie on a walk. Overcast and breezy, which was nice. Will run some errands at lunch to avoid working overtime.
Will is going to pick up my Peachtree number, so that is one less thing I had to do on Wednesday. Y’all going to the Peachtree Road Race? My group R doesn’t start until 8:15 am, so I won’t make it to SPdL until almost 8:45. Can y’all wait around that long?
Tuesday morning my back was hurting AND I could feel my sciatica. This has been going on for four days now. I hate to take pain killers, but will be taking some for sure on Thursday morning. My stomach doesn’t feel that great either. Eating doesn’t help, and not eating doesn’t help either. Maybe it is the heat.
Dikembe Mutombo’s son is transferring to GT from Georgetown. The Jackets have several more players transferring in, from Oklahoma and Colorado, and a recruit from Houston.
How to spend three days in Paris.
