Tomorrow may be my last day at work for awhile, as I'm sure the union I'm part of is going to strike. I've been scrimping and saving for it, but I'm not as well off as I wish I was.
If I'd have been smart, I'd have worked more overtime and gotten another source of income lined up beforehand, but I didn't do those things. I'm definitely not the kind to cross the picket line, so that was never an option.
My retired dad suggested going to Vegas. I said only if it's on his dime. I sure as hell can't afford to be blowing through everything I have down there, and to be honest, neither can my dad (much as he might be loath to admit it).
I guess the open schedule leaves me with extra time to spend on house and yard work, so there's that. Gotta weed the garden beds and prepare them for fall.
Oh, and it leaves me more time for hitting the gym too. I'm definitely starting to see improvements in the size and definition of my muscles (especially my chest and butt), but it'd be nice to nix those persistent love handles. I'd like to see my ab muscles at least once in my goddamn life.
In the meantime, I guess my immediate future is probably going to be occasional picket duty. I guess I'll be out there now and again, hopefully with my new Cobra Kai shirt.
At least I'm paid up here for the year!😄
