Last Day of Work

Happy Labor Day! And yes, today was my last day of work. I have a regular day off tomorrow, and then - vacation! I did get some things done today before work, too. First thing on the agenda was the laundry. It was a very small load that took less than an hour to do. Good thing, because the laundromat was busy with people doing their chores on their holiday off. I'm glad I managed to get a drier and washer.

After I got home and put everything away, I decided to sweep the porch before we get that rain the National Weather Service mentioned. It doesn't look anywhere near as bad out there as it did last month. The nuts that made such a mess a few weeks ago seem to have finally subsided. I have seen the first (huge) acorns of the season, but they haven't reached critical mass yet and probably won't for another month or so.

Ran several Three Stooges shorts about working and jobs as I ate leftovers for lunch. "Termites of 1938" have them playing exterminators who are mistaken for escorts. "Violent Is the Word for Curly" takes them to a girl's college, where they teach them their famous "Swinging the Alphabet" song. "Dizzy Doctors" has them peddling Brighto...but what IS Brighto? When they figure it out, they take their wares to a hospital, where they wreck havoc on the patients. In "Playing the Ponies," they trade their diner for a horse who turns out to be a dud...until he nibbles on Curly's chili peppers! They're janitors who are mistaken for interior decorators in "Tassels In the Air," but the house may need more than redecorating when they're through with it!

Headed for work after the Stooges ended (and after dropping a bag of clothes in the donation bins behind the Acme. Work was busy for most of the night. First of all, it's still the beginning of the month. Second, many local families were shopping for the first day of school. We had long lines and large orders all evening.

It was raining lightly when I got out. It must have just started. I barely got wet. I don't think it's even doing that now.

(And sorry this is so late, but my internet went down for two hours. There must be storms in the area of the signal.)
