Chapter 05.1

Hey, Sweetheart:

You know me so well. That’s what I love about you. You’re always looking after me, even while you’re far away. I went to the gym on Saturday and will go again after work. It does feel good when I go, and the stress melts away. Plus, I feel like I’m doing something good for myself.

Today it’s back to reality. Monday has rolled around, way too soon. I could have used a few more hours of sleep after arriving home so late. I’m at work and thought I’d take a break to send you a note. Sometimes it seems like the week has more than one Monday. I’ve heard about that new Martian calendar of Brandon’s. Put a bug in his ear, will ya? Maybe he can tweak the Earth calendar, too, and we can have several Saturdays, one right after another. Just a thought.

There’s so much going on at work right now. End of year budget reports are due soon, department budget hearings coming up, expenditures still coming in, income not all received, same old, same old. I’ll sure be glad when everything is closed out for the year. Oh well, that’s why they pay me the big bucks. Ha, ha. Which reminds me, I heard a funny line the other day from my boss: ‘I used to get paid weekly, but now I get paid very weakly.’ Ain’t that a hoot?

Right now I’m working on completing the class schedules for spring semester and beginning those for next summer. They seem to come earlier every year. We work about a year in advance of what is going to be happening during the next.

Oh, guess what, we filled the secretarial position. Yea! She starts next week. That will take a bit of the load off me. Then, I promise to take it a bit easier and not worry so much. You know I really do like my job and keeping busy. (The keeping busy serves a dual purpose; it also takes my mind off how much I miss you.)
