The library is undergoing roof repairs this week and the work started yesterday. It will be closed until Thursday. Consequently I am on vacation right now. In all the jobs I’ve held before I’ve never had a paid vacation. It feels odd to to be able to stay at home and relax knowing I’m being paid for it. What a concept. I love it.
It is hot… very hot… I’d go so far as to say damn hot outside. They say it will not officially be a heatwave until it has lasted five days. But as far as I’m concerned it is a heat wave for however long it takes. Last night at 9:30 the temp was 85 degrees. I’m so thankful we have air conditioning in this apartmtent.
Yesterday I had to make a run to the post office in the morning. Right after Paul left for work (and if I’d only risen earlier I could have had a ride), I gathered my packages and started walking. The walk downtown wasn’t so bad, but the return trip home nearly did me in. I thought I was going to melt. This was around 8:40 in the morning. I fumbled my way inside the front door and collapsed on the couch. A liter of water and ten minutes of air conditioned bliss and I was good as new.
Today and tomorrow I plan to do mostly nothing. I could get really get used to this vacation concept.
