Well, I survived the week. Final tally is just over 71 hours... only 11 1/2 was split between the weekend days with 2 different families, and the remaining 60ish hours was crammed into the weekdays with 10-14 hour days with a single family 
I'm tired. But it was a lot more tollerable than expected because during the week, the mom slowly made her way out the door in the morning and came home in the early afternoon on 2 of the days and stuck around for about 6 hours each day before having to leave again. It's a really good thing this lady was so easy-going and was basically just hanging out because she didn't have work to do, so I got to relax for a good portion of the extra long days and chat with her. She was this funny, loud, black woman from Ohio who was really easy to get along with and would tell me stories about the old barber back in Ohio and I swear, I learned more about politics and this campaign from her and watching the news with her than ever before. Because of her, I finally got around to registering to vote and I'll be doing the Caucus tomorrow (she was so proud of me when I told her
). Also, because this woman is from Ohio, she has a very similar twangy-accent to my dad's... my dad's from West Virginia. In the past like 5 or so years I started picking up on my dad's accent for some reason. So if I'm around him, or people with an accent, especially one with a twang or a drawl... mine will come out... sometimes just talking about my dad or his accent will bring it out without me even meaning to. So for most of this week, I had the twang out. I'm ammused by it because it doesn't come out very often and I can't really do it on command.
Oh, and apparently the kid I watch all week doesn't like anybody. Just turned 2 and she's got attitude and will let you know if she doesn't like you... she loved me. She was a cutie
At least this week earned me a couple extra hundred dollars because of overtime pay. I have Thursday off for doc appointments and I was planning to take Monday off too just for the hell of it and because I worked so much this week. But then I thought about it today and realized that it would be stupid to take Monday off. Why work so hard this week to make the extra money toward my trip, and then be lazy the next week and lose 1/4 of that extra pay by taking a 2nd unpaid day off for no good reason? Doesn't make sense. So Thursday is my one day off during the week for a much needed visit to the Chiropractor and a Nathuropathic Doc. I heart my Bastyr educated doctor people
(that probably only made sense to hephaestos lol).
Alright, I need to stop blabbering away. I think I'll chop off some hair and then make my way into bed at a decent time tonight.
