Happy Independence Day!

Do you have any plans for today? A cookout? Fireworks?

We don't really have anything specific in mind for today. Mostly just rest from work. We may go later to where Elizabeth is picnicking to see some fireworks. Not sure yet.

I think mostly Brandon and I are tires and just need some rest. Last night, work was difficult. Too many call-ins including a person who was supposed to close with us. We wound up recruiting a few people who were actually scheduled to be off work. Having them really helped a lot.

I think perhaps the GM didn't schedule enough people to begin with. See, it's tournament week for the local baseball teams, which means lots of business both before and after the games. Also, it was the day before a big holiday. Most people were planning cookouts for today, which meant they had no interest in preparing meals at home last night.

By the time we locked the doors, we were all quite weary. I was just plain bone-tired and my legs were killing me. I finished what I was supposed to do, but it took awhile since we didn't get to do anything pre-close.
