Today is November 6th. Yesterday was Jonathan's birthday. We really didn't do anything special for his birthday except buy a present, a cake and I made a nice dinner. He is in the middle of inventory and has been working a lot getting ready for it. Tonight is the actual count ... tomorrow they do the variance reports and then they are all done for the year. So tonight we will both be working until 11:00pm. But I have to say, my job is easier.
Two days ago Jillian had her wisdom teeth removed. I made myself unavailable for work so I could take her there and spend the day with her. I'm not the best person for this type of thing. I'm okay with the driving and the waiting but the taking care of afterwards isn't my forte. Okay, maybe it would be better if Jillian wasn't so dramatic. She was pretty wound up afterwards ... she didn't handle the bleeding very well. And to top it off, every time her boyfriend Chris is around our house she gets really miserable. I don't know if she's doing that for the extra attention or what. What do you do? I mentioned it to her this evening when I called her from work. One call she was okay ... the next call I made she acted as if she was in a lot of pain ... needless to say Chris had arrived at our house between call one and call two. Again I say, what do you do?
But what I will comment on is on how well I think she is doing. She doesn't have one bruise, not even the faintest mark. She is swollen but that's all. The dental surgeon that worked on her was not only really nice but really handsome. He had a strange last name and while Jillian and I were waiting for him, in the consultation room, we were making wise-cracks about his degrees, etc. Actually since we didn't know what all the initials stood for we were making up what they stood for. When under stress, Jillian and I get pretty goofy. Well then he walked in the room. I faced the door, Jillian's back was to the door. I think she saw my face ... my jaw must have dropped when I saw him. When Jillian saw him, she said she couldn't look at me for fear of laughing ... guessing what I was thinking. When her surgery was complete he actually came out to the waiting room to talk to me ... no other person in that room got a visit from any dental surgeon ... just me. Maybe he wanted to see if my jaw would drop again ... ha ha ha. Anyway, it worked for me.
Today is Penny's last day of working at the law office. She sent me an IM this afternoon before I left for work but I was away from the computer and missed her. She is going for an interview tomorrow afternoon at another law office downtown. I called her on my break this evening to wish her luck.
Today isn't my usual working day. I was called yesterday evening and asked if I was able to come in today. This weekend is my usual working weekend and I'll be off because I did a shift trade with Barbara (she needed time off) and took my whole weekend. So that's good for me. Next week I'm working 3 evenings in a row ... Monday to Wednesday. Wednesday is a stat holiday ... Remembrance Day ... time and a half.
Tomorrow Jacob is going to the eye doctor to get fitted for contact lenses. I don't know why he wants contact lenses. Oh well.
