Ahhhh, it’s my turn after four days of flying, airports, delays and too many people I’m home for my days off. I got home last night around 10pm, the house was quiet, everyone was asleep. Wow, time to relax, watch a little mindless tv, read a bit. Life is good. Real good, I stay up until about 2am, knowing I’ll pay for this.

Fast Forward….and I mean fast….5:55am. My wake up call. Lucy. I rolled over to nudge honey….no honey….honey left this morning for the station. Oh yeah! Did I say I was headed into days off? I have things rigged pretty good here. I’m a night owl and not that I would call honey a morning guy, he does a lot better than me, but there are two days a week when it’s just me and pickles….a.k.a. Lucy. Today happens to be one of them. Ouch. I know there are people who get up early everyday, either to get everyone up and out to work or stay at home moms or dads, but I set my life up so I wouldn’t have to get up early. It’s working pretty good for me too.

Well, not today but that’s okay. I’m sitting here with Lucy next to me while she eats her waffle, blueberries, and yogurt. It’s going to be a good day. She was happy and surprised to see me this morning.Her smile wakes me up. It may not exactly be a day “off” but it is great day!
