To bad you can't work every other day. I schedule is

MWF and an occasional Sat and Sun. So I can rest

do some house work in between etc.

I love putting on my pjs and reading a good book.

I don't volunteer as much as I used to since my kids

are in HS now but I do take books to the homebound

once a month.

Kathe,

Your advice is good, but I work five of the next six days so I had

to clean today. On the days that I work, that takes most of my

energy. I work Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday and

then I sing in church choir on Wednesday night. My treat will be

four days off in a row. I work from 9:40am until about 5:15pm and I

am the only one in the store when I am working.

I did what I needed to do. The bathroom and the kitchen...and I

cooked supper. I am in my granny gown and resting. My husband

cleans up the kitchen and does the dishes. Hugs, Penny

ps. The first time that I could get in is Jan 2, 2007.
