Back to work!

Well, I had to return to work today, after a glorious 4-day weekend.  I dreaded it, I cried, I left late, I stomped my feet, and I threw a bit of a fit.  Then, I got into the car and went to work.

There was NO traffic at ALL.  My usual 1-hour trip was made in 45 minutes.  Although I left late, I got to work 20 minutes early and got ready for the day.  I got ready, the phones came on, and then we sat.  We sat and visited.

Sure, there were a few phone calls, and things to tend to, but it was wonderfully quiet today.  The hourly CSRs got sent home early, and the rest of us got caught up on things that needed done.  I even walked around at one point, asking if anyone needed help.  I wrote thank-you notes to those who sent Christmas gifts, I cleaned up my credits (horrid task indeed!) and I filled in for one of the receptionists for a while so she could do some other tasks.

It was the coolest day ever.  I hope it's like this all day.  We're heading to Carthage on Friday, and it'd be great to leave early.

Kevin saw the shoulder specialist today.  Arthritis, bone spurs, and a torn labrum, etc. etc.  He pretty much told them all of this in July, but it took this long for the insurance to send him to someone who told him the same things.  Yup, more surgery.  It's not scheduled yet, but we're expecting mid-January.  *sigh*

OK, dinner is done and it's time to go eat.  Kevin made tuna casserole today, and it's smelling awesome.  His news doesn't hit too hard, since we expected it.  We did this same thing 6 years ago.  We know what to expect.  My wonderful day isn't going to fade because of this one piece of news.

See ya later, snow storm hater!
