I got up before 5:00 this morning to get a few extra things done. I don't get much done after work, and I like going to bed at 9:30.

This week at work has been so nice having that extra person (I'm training). Today and tomorrow she is to do it all herself with me only as back-up. I will do the dishes for her, so that will give her more time to prepare the salads and desserts. (Each person washes his/hers food-preparation dishes.) It's been a wonderful prelude to a two-week vacation! I'm looking forward to the time off.

I will enjoy the extra time I have to read. That's what I miss the most--extra time.
